The Melodrama of the Rice Noodle Western

Movie Meltdown - Episode 14

This week the movie geek gang welcomes our special guest Martin into the studio to join us for our usual brand of shenanigans. Then we head to the Sofa Theater to watch the handsome gun-slinger Dum and his upper-crust lover Rumpoey pine away for each other, while he and his friends gun down a lot of people. With outstanding visuals and an amazing color palette, TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER is an cinematic experience all it's own.

Plus we touch on these and many other topics: Yamagata, plastination, Jovovich, goose-stepping Nazi zombies, Nicolas Cage's chest hair, did Ray Stevenson sing The Streak?, Anthony Hopkins's rap career, Confucious, Beat Poets, Monster Attack Network, Solid Snake, Fidy Cent and the The Expendables, Gobstopper, feeling sad about Liam Neeson's wife and the bad guy from TimeCop, movie premieres in Thailand, working on the set of Terminator 3 and Fight Club, slapping around a large piece of meat, next week's road trip and rocking out with The Dead Next Door.

This episode is teeth-shattering fun!!

Loving Howard the Duck - Furry or Beastiality??

Movie Meltdown - Episode 13

The year was 1986, and the world anxiously awaited the next big project from George Lucas. With Lucas's clout, the writers of the latest Indiana Jones feature, a sizeable budget and shiny new special effects equipment - the possibilities were limitless. Then Howard reared his duck-billed head - and more than twenty years later, movie fans still haven't recovered. So re-live the timeless tale of a cigar-chomping, beer swilling, foul-mouthed fowl that gets sucked across the universe - only to hook up with one of Earth's hottest chicks. Weird? Yes. Entertaining? Well, that seems to be a matter of opinion.

So aside from posing the creepy question of interspecies intercourse, we also talk about "The Goon", the irreplaceable Pennywise, reboots of movies made only a couple of years ago and the ego on Vin Diesel for comparing himself to Coppola and his films to Tolkien?

So DUCK in here with us as we and our listeners address the finer points of the 80's cliche classic that is HOWARD THE DUCK!

Heroes, Vigilantes and Blue Junk

Movie Meltdown - Episode 12

You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have - Watchmen?? Well, something like that. This episode we tackle the alternate world of WATCHMEN. A world on the brink of nuclear annihilation. A world where costumed heroes exact vigilante justice. And a world exposed (quite regularly) to blue "man goods".

So we give our thoughts on the new superhero blockbuster - but mostly we just keep talking about Dr. Manhattan's glowing sex organs. Well that, and we get off on several tangents. Luckily we balance it out with a terrific interview with Martha Colburn - a filmmaker, and true visual artist. I guess, we hope that makes up for rest of the pervy conversations. But what can we do? One of our cast is obsessed with blue "man goods". But don't worry, she's getting help.
