The podcast for the website B&S About Movies. I own too many movies and too few people want to talk to me in real life about them, so what if you listen to me -- in bite-sized chunks -- tell you why I love or hate a movie?
In this episode, bon vivant and raconteur A.C. Nicholas defends a movie that he loves: late 70s sketch comedy on film Americathon. A.C. is a writer, stand-up comedian, voiceover artist, former radio DJ, former drive-in projectionist and so much more. He hosts a monthly screening at the Babylon Kino theater and can often be seen on Drive-In Asylum Double Feature and heard on various podcasts! You can find him on Facebook and YouTube.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner.

Welcome to a new feature on the podcast, where I'll have guests come on and defend movies they love, particularly ones that aren't well-loved. When you hear Celeste de la Cabra, you should expect to learn something. I'll let her explain herself: "I'm a leftist, an anti-fascist, an ethical vegan, non-binary, queer, and an atheist. Stating this up front is important because these things are important to me and will naturally inform my biases and analyses. I'm not interested in pretending to be neutral on social issues or politics. I approach every film I watch as a piece of art, rather than just content or entertainment, and I aim to encourage others to do the same."You can find more about her on YouTube, Patreon, Letterboxd and TikTok.This episode, Celeste and I discuss Trog, a movie that many look down on. I was honored to have her on as my first guest and look forward to return appearances.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner.

Yes, everyone can talk about All the Colors of the Dark and Torso, but let's get deep into Sergio Martino with four of my favorite weird picks from him. Uppercut Man finds Sergio in Miami, making a boxing movie that isn't like any other. Ernest Borgnine, Daniel Greene, Mary Stavin, Giuliano Gemma...Crud Buddies have this posted on YouTube.American Rickshaw is the most perfect of all late Martino movies: shower sex with the jeans on, rickshaws in Miami, Donald Pleasence as a faith healing warthog...get it from Cauldron Video.Graffiante desiderio has Sergio going back to the Giallo but also incest and a dummy drop ending. Craving Desire is hard to find but if you're ready to infest your computer with viruses, go here.Un orso chiamato Arturo has George Segal and Carol Alt. Yes, in a Sergio Martino movie. It's on YouTube in Italian, so learn a new language.Is there a secret prize for finishing this episode? Did I compose a song for it? What are you waiting for?

Not all movies are good. American Psycho 2 and Caddyshack II are two examples of that. In fact, one of them was never meant to be a sequel.

What's a sleepwalker? How about shapeshifting energy vampires that survive off the energy of virgins, who can cast illusions, move things with their minds and transform into werecats? Oh yeah and their biggest weakness is cats, who can see them and kill them with their claws. And before we forget, the only way the males can feed their female mothers is by having sex with them. Got all that? Then if you can get your head around all of that, you're ready for Sleepwalkers.

In a Mexican convent and orphanage, a new girl named Justine arrives. She becomes close with another orphan named Alucarda, who was born in a mysterious barn and may be evil before this film even starts.

Legend has it that David Cronenberg for the idea for the torture TV channel that lends its name to his opus Videodrome from this Joe D'Amato film, which is also known as Trap Them and Kill Them. Think of this — a film that upset Cronenberg for its mash-up of snuff, cannibalism and sex. Take it from me. This one totally lives up to its promise. Or lives down. You almost have to appreciate it for how lurid it is, as if it just screams at you, “I am the kind of movie you should feel ashamed for watching.” You can buy this as part of Severin's Black Emanuelle box set.

Deeds not words! Megaforce has come from the 1980s to fix what's wrong.
