Small Soldiers Oct 31, 2018

Show notes

Happy Junkyween!
In honor of the season, and in response to overwhelming listener demand (that is to say overwhelming demand from one particular listener) Brian & Cargill discuss one of the scariest movies ever made: Small Soldiers. What? It is scary...if you're a toy collector.
The guys chat about the effects, the insane assembled voice cast, and how Joe Dante was able to remake Gremlins into something new. They also do more Bronson impressions, Brian rails against Harriet the Spy, and there is a serious discussion about the appropriateness of Burger King commercials. All this plus, it takes the guys a while to figure out which movie they're actually covering.
Fall in Junkies, for Junkfood Cinema. Everything else, is just a podcast.

Octoburt: White Lighting & Gator Oct 24, 2018

Show notes

Brian & Cargill wrap Octoburt with a special double feature of Burt Reynolds' hicksploitation classics: White Lightning & Gator.
While one is clearly superior and the other a cartoon, binging both these moonshine-running drive-in flicks is as thrilling as a big bowl of shaky pudding! The guys discuss Hal Needham's stunts, the head cannon that connects Gator to The Longest Yard, and how Steven Spielberg almost made a very different choice for his first feature.
Sit a spell, grab a jug, and get ready to bask in the distilled machismo of Gator McKlusky!

Octoburt: Switching Channels (1987) Oct 17, 2018

Show notes

This just in! Junkfood Cinema continues Octoburt with a newroom comedy that breaks the story (and a few hearts): Switching Channels.
From the Director of First Blood (what?!), Burt Reynolds is Ted Turner (basically) trying to run a 24-hour news TV station while also fighting feelings for his ace reporter/ex-wife played by Kathleen Turner. She falls in love with literally the only man handsome enough to make Burt Reynolds jealous: Superman.
Brian and Cargill bring you the headlines, the Michael Caine impressions, and the most Chicago junk food pairing to date!

Stone Cold (1991) Oct 10, 2018

Show notes

Requested by one of their high-tier Patrons, Brian and Cargill match wits (and mullets) with The Boz in Stone Cold.
Imagine Point Break on motorcycles...with a lot more uncomfortably prominent confederate flags.
The guys also discuss hobo boxing with Lance Henriksen, blowing up Wilford Brimley, and why you should NEVER go to an Alabama Olive Garden.

Octoburt: The Longest Yard(s) Oct 03, 2018

Show notes

Brian and Cargill celebrate the late, great Burt Reynolds with Octoburt!
What better kickoff than to take the field with both iterations of The Longest Yard? The guys discuss how both versions are winning, how closely the remake follows the original’s playbook, and how great Burt is in the dual roles he plays.
Plus, Stone Cold Steve Austin breaks Brian’s heart, Cargill reveals his fast food orientation, and Johnny Carson shows up...like a lot.
Download, set, hike!

The Lost Episode: Can't Stop The Musicals Part 1 Sep 26, 2018

Show notes

Here it is, saved from the fires of obscurity (thanks to some sort of diabolical hosting error). It's the first ever (and hopefully last) lost episode of Junkfood Cinema, and it's full of musicals!
With a brand new edit by our producer Merrill, Can't Stop the Musicals Part 1 examines three of the most bizarre, head-scratch inducing fever dreams to ever call themselves musicals. Get your iTunes ready as we dive deep into Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Skatetown USA, and Can't Stop the Music!
We hope you will enjoy the show! It's going down like Skatetown! Do the milkshake!
