Description
EPISODE #418-- We eschew all semblance of taste and decency to celebrate the life and death of Roger Corman (RIP) with the women-in-prison nightmare THE BIG DOLL HOUSE from 1971. It's got Pam Grier and that's about the best thing in the movie. The rest of is a fetid horrorshow of 1970's politics, exploitation aesthetics, and run of the mill schlock. It was a massive box office success. We also talk George Miller's THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981), Vera Drew's THE PEOPLE'S JOKER (2024), CAPTAIN MILLER (2024), as well as Hitchcock's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, along with GAMBIT and Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI.

EPISODE #417-- We return to our roots with the Hong Kong schlock fest THE SEVENTH CURSE (1986). Directed by the same maniac that made RIKI-O: THE STORY OF RICKY and staring Chow Yun Fat (barely), it's a wild one. Not quite Indiana Jones and not quite a martial arts movie. It's a melange of...
