Bordello of Blood (w/Jason MacLeod) Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

This week, Schlocktober begins! A full month of the spookiest turds...

And what better way to start that then with the Dennis Miller-led horror-comedy Bordello of Blood. Joining your hosts is returning guest Jason MacLeod as they try to make sense of a project that went through a lot of turmoil. The guys learn about Dennis Miller's pricetag and all the behind-the-scenes issues and they talk about: how this movie opens like a period piece, potentially lethal laser beams at a church congregation, Corey Feldman playing a tough biker and much more. Plus: a LOT of Dennis Miller impressions. Like... a LOT.

Show notes

This week, the guys welcome first-time guest Galen Howard (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) to discuss the muddy Steven Seagal disaster The Glimmer Man. Much is discussed like Seagal getting to deliver every one-liner even if it makes no sense, powdered deer penis, fake Italian accents, Stephen Tobolowsky elevating his scene and much, MUCH more.
