Ep49 - The Three Supermen Films Xperiment

Here it is. This is the doozy that led to the extended hiatus. You know how you're not supposed to use a Ouija board by yourself? It turns out, you shouldn't do strenuous psychological, psychotronical experiments on yourself, either. Here's where Matt tried to watch all of the Three Supermen movies (1967-86), one each day, by himself and report his findings. He got in over his head into the world of bulletproof spandex, heists, Europop, and increasingly lousy sequels.
Matt returned and put the results out so that we can move forward, on to regular podcasts with guests and laughter and fun and no deep-hurting....

Whatever Happened to Baby TCTT?

We've heard lots of questions over the last (almost) year:
1. Is the podcast coming back?
2. I thought you guys did another movie riff...what up with that?
3. Why the hiatus?

Answers:
1. LONG ANSWER - YES. A crazy thing happened on the way to relaunch. Matt decided he would do a solo episode. Then he thought it would be fun to review crazy European superhero movies as a genre. Then he thought it'd be funny to watch all of the Three Superman movies (1967-1986), one a day with mini-reviews and publish the episode...then Matt's brain broke. Then Matt went away for a while and wore pajamas for a long time and ate pudding every lunch time, did lots of arts and crafts, and went fishing with Mac until that awful Nurse Ratched ruined everything. Matt's not supposed to do solo episodes or brain experiments anymore.
He'll share what broke his brain soon.
SHORT ANSWER - YES. We'll be back to do discuss all things Robo Vampire (1988) with a new friend and old buddy Scott. The ep will be out before October.
Watch ROBO VAMPIRE here.

2. We totally did. It's Arch Hall, Jr.'s WILD GUITAR. I swear it'll be out soon. We used to sell our riffs through Rifftrax, but they took down their Riffs store and it's still not back yet. We're exploring ways to sell it for, like, $0.99. If you know of an easy way around robots that don't care about fair use and such, let us know!
We're already sifting through the rubbish bins for another movie to do...

3. See the long answer to Question 1

Here's to much more trash cinema coming your way.We just looked back over the movies we've done and were surprised to see Episode 50 is coming soon!

Our CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE riff now on YouTube!

We sold this through Rifftrax for about a week. They pulled their site down to rebuild it and this riff disappeared. Enjoy it on us.

Support BOOGEYMAN POP

You may have heard us praise The Wolfman's Hammer, a wonderful indie movie that I've offered as an antidote to more than one movie we've watched for the podcast. The director Brad Elmore has shot a new film, BOOGEYMAN POP, and he's seeking some completion funds to get the film through post-production. Please consider supporting this project. I've read the script. You'll love it.

DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS (you can open this now, though)

Well, the BLOODY APES episode has been indefinitely postponed. If only someone would pay us to watch and chat about movies! Well, stiff upper lip and all that...
Now for your present (or pressie, as they would say in this movie): We got you a Christmas episode! Surprised? I knew you would be. Does it fit? Great! It's DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS, a nasty little piece of work from the 1984 England. Someone's murdering Santas in London. Matt is joined by Jason Farrell and Gordie Adams (Gordcast) for this yuletide treat.
Will New Scotland Yard and the UK version of David Cassidy as a street flautist be able to get to the bottom of this grisly mystery? Will there be boobs? Sort of and yes! HERE'S THE LINK

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM US TO YOU!

KYLE

Kyle's returning to the show for the 1st time in a year (time flies). We'll also have our friend Andrew (from the Houseboat Horror episode) join us to discuss René Cardona's infamous NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES. You can watch it here and be all ready for the next episode, you lucky devil!

FLESH FEAST!

UPDATE: There was an issue with the episode's feed which has been corrected now, so you can find it in iTunes or in the direct link.

Matt is joined by Joe Kincher and Devin Bruce to discuss Brad F. Grinter & Veronica Lake's 1970 movie FLESH FEAST. Movie maverick Grinter was just about to make the greatest Thanksgiving anti-drug, Christian screed ever BLOOD FREAK, but he was still getting his directing chops up with a biker movie and this little number. Poor Veronica Lake thought this movie would be her comeback and financed this nonsense story wherein she plays Dr. Fredrick a woman on the verge of using light-treated maggots to rejuvenate old flesh, even the flesh of the most hated figure in all the 20th century...but, I've said to much. So, prepare yourselves for the Reich that comes before the fifth one...I've said too much. DIRECT LINK.

"Unabridged!" - Joe      "Democracy!" - Devin     "Stultifying!" - Matt                            

He's got to relive those awkward, zitty teen years...good!

"Thank heavens there's nothing creepy in here!"

"I'm not working with Coppola or Peckinpah next, am I?!?"

NEXT UP: We have some more guests coming and will announce the movie here and on our Twitter account. Leave us some feedback in iTunes, won't you?
