Basket Case with Special Guest Scott Weinberg Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

Scott Weinberg returns to the scummy streets of Junkfood Cinema to open up all the unmentionable horrors of Basket Case.
How does a b-movie this schlocky also make us feel so much? How did Joe Bob Riggs save this movie? How does a puppet give us such nightmares? Why isn’t Basket Case a sitcom?!
All these questions explored while Brian does his best to ruin all the best movies of 1982.
Enjoy!

Nate and Hayes Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

Bri Beard and Captain Cargill take to the seas to commit some skullduggery with Nate and Hayes. The weirdest relic of a pirate movie to ever be written by...John Hughes?
Your favorite scoundrels of the Junky Sea discuss the movie that sunk Nate and Hayes, its oddly progressive politics, and the cannonball of sexual charisma that is 1983 Tommy Lee Jones. All this plus...the most random celebrity to ever hijack an episode.
Avast! Download and share the episode, ya bilge rats!

Hard Boiled Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Cargill draw their guns and pas de deux through the bullet ballet of John Woo's Hard Boiled.
They discuss The Five Pillars of Woo, his impact on action, and his operatic use of slow-mo. They also pitch a new Golden Girls podcast, stop before their mom shoots, and solve one of the most notorious unsolved mysteries in history thanks to...Jurassic Park?

Bulletproof with Special Guest Eric Szyszka Jun 19, 2020

Show notes

This week, Eric Szyszka (We Hate Movies, Hooked on TJ Hooker) returns, and he and Brian take a few shots at Bulletproof.
This insane action movie features an ice cream truck shootout, an experimental tank, and a plot to take over the United States by the most broadly drawn collection of terrorists since the opening of The Naked Gun.
Get ready for thrills, chills, and...Gary Busey singing Will Smith’s entire Willennium album?

Miracle (Live from CFF) Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

Live from the virtual Chattanooga Film Fest just a few weeks ago, Brian and Cargill take to the ice to show they believe in Miracle.
Miracle is such a great sports film that it will have you riveted by a game where no one scores for the last ten minutes! Kurt Russell whips the guys into a frenzy with his BDE, they decipher Walt Disney’s last words, and Bubs from CFF pops in and out of the episode.
Listen, share, go puck wild!

Soylent Green with Special Guest Bill Corbett Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Cargill are joined by the legendary Bill Corbett (RiffTrax, Mystery Science Theater 3000) to chew on some Soylent Green.
Bill and the bots discuss the prescient themes, the meme-sational ending, and Charlton Heston’s obsession with the end of the world. The guys also riff on Irish Spring fetishes, cannibalistic Karens, and the best way to brine human flesh.
Happy Soylent Green Day, we hope you had the time of your lives.

Best of the Best with Special Guest Jon Gabrus May 20, 2020

Show notes

This week, Brian steps into the ring with special guest Jon Gabrus (High and Mighty, The Action Boyz) to determine if their favorite late 80s tae kwan do movie really is Best of the Best.
The guys discuss BotB’s knockout cast, its charming sincerity, and the nearly incomprehensible tournament rules. Somehow they also invent a new buffalo wing challenge, get into a bar fight with Jason Voorhees, and roundhouse kick a few horses?
Listen and share this episode, you’re the best!

A Knights Tale with Special Guest Todd in the Shadows May 13, 2020

Show notes

Sir Todd in the Shadows returns to the JFC realm to join Sirs Brian and Cargill as they laud the far-too-under-heralded A Knight’s Tale!
The gents discuss why this is a phenomenal sports film, why the needle drops work, and the sincerity that runs rampant throughout.
Also discussed: butthole wranglers, Viva Rock Vegas, and which cult film director has seen Cargill naked.
Rouse yourself to listen and herald upon thy social media!

Brick May 08, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Cargill--two cads, a couple of piehouse rats--beat their chops to squawk about the brilliance of Rian Johnson's Brick.
They discuss the lyrical language of the film, the high school noir, and the importance of the punch-transition. Also discussed: time travel, the Brick homage hidden in Cargill's first book, and the accidental shot heard round the world.
Don't heel it or take a powder, download this episode. And if you think we don't stan Jo-Go Levy-Levs then you're scratching at the wrong door.
