Forget the threat of AI to our livelihoods... what about the murderous CYBORGS that countless B-movies have taught us are coming to get us any moment now?! This week, Al (the person, not the AI) joins us to check out Steel and Lace (1991), directed by Ernest D. Farino, and American Cyborg: Steel Warrior (1994), directed by Boaz Davidson. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Steel and Lace by skipping ahead to the 1:09:03 mark, and for American Cyborg: Steel Warrior by skipping ahead to 2:06:41.

AKAPAD The Film Buff dives back into the Hellboy fray with his take on the character's latest cinematic outing, Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024). This $20 million gem looks and feels like it was torn straight from the comic page, drenched in gritty folk-horror vibes. But here's the head-scratcher: despite all its strengths, this flick got the cold shoulder from every tier of fan you'd expect to champion it. Time to dissect why the faithful adaptation, killer practical effects, and Jack Kesy's brooding Big Red failed to ignite the passion this movie deserved. Those who brought you Hellboy the Crooked Man Cast Jack Kesy - Hellboy Jefferson White - Tom Ferrell Adeline Rudolph - Bobbie Jo Song Leah McNamara - Effie Kolb Joseph Marcell - Reverend Watts Hannah Margetson - Cora Fisher Martin Bassindale - The Crooked Man Nathan Cooper - Farmhand Carola Colombo - Old Woman Suzanne Bertish - Grammy Oaku Crew Director - Brian Taylor Writers - Brian Taylor, Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden Producers - Mike Richardson, Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, Les Weldon, Rob Van Norden, Yariv Lerner, Sam Schulte Executive Producers - Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, Tanner Mobley, Lati Grobman, Christa Campbell, Mike Mignola, Michael Mullner, Julia Muentefering, Victor Hadida, Cristina Serafini, Gareth West, Artur Galstian, Vahan Yepremyan Cinematographer - Ivan Vatsov Editor - Ryan Denmark Composer - Sven Faulconer Production Companies - Millennium Media, Dark Horse Entertainment, Nu Boyana Film Studios, Campbell Grobman Films Distributor - Ketchup Entertainment More about Hellboy The Crooked Man Alright, True Believers, let's dive into Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024), the latest gritty reboot of our favorite cigar-chomping demon! This flick, helmed by Brian Taylor, drags Big Red (Jack Kesy) and rookie B.P.R.D. agent Bobbie Jo Song (Adeline Rudolph) into the eerie backwoods of 1950s Appalachia. They're up against a coven of witches and the sinister Crooked Man (Martin Bassindale), a devilish creep tied to Hellboy's past. Think folk horror meets paranormal detective vibes—less blockbuster bombast, more low-budget chills. Co-written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, it's a faithful stab at his 2008 comic, with practical effects that'd make Sam Raimi nod approvingly. Box office? Well, brace yourselves, Wiz fans—this one didn't exactly set the world ablaze. Skipping U.S. theaters for a direct-to-VOD drop on October 8, 2024, it scraped together a measly $2 million internationally. With a rumored budget “way under $20 million,” it might've turned a profit via digital and streaming, but don't expect it to topple Hellboy II: The Golden Army's $160 million haul. A cult classic in the making? Maybe. A cash cow? Not a chance. Excelsior!

This reimagining of the original 1973 horror film (itself an adaptation of the 1967 horror novel Ritual) manages to be batshit in completely different ways than its source material(s) and also (un)intentionally hysterical, in no small part due to Nic Cage's classic over-the-top performance working harmoniously with a hilariously inept script. Being our very first Cage review on the podcast, how does it rank amongst the legendary 60-year-old actor/producer's filmography as well as "

Sin duda, la primera mitad de los años ochenta estuvo totalmente dominada por el slasher. Rayos X, una de las producciones más tempranas de la Cannon Films de Golan y Globus, tiene todos los elementos esperables: Asesino misterioso con pasado oscuro, desnudos sin sentido, un muerto cada equis minutos... todo está aquí, aunque de una manera tan inconexa y loca que la hace única en su especie, tanto para lo bueno como para lo malo. Más lo segundo que lo primero.

THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THE FINAL CHAPTER... Gabe and special guest Patrick Ripoll from Tracks of the Damned are back and finishing what they started: an interminable look back at the slasher movies of 1981. The complete list includes 42 films that friends, colleagues, and random people on the internet consider to be slashers. The last episode is the shortest, including discussion of 13 movies – Hell Night (directed by Tom DeSimone), Don’t Go in the Woods (directed by James Bryan), Lady Stay Dead (directed by Terry Bourke), Absurd (aka: Rosso sangue, Monster Hunter, and Horrible, directed by Joe D’Amato), Just Before Dawn (directed by Jeff Lieberman), Strange Behavior (directed by Michael Laughlin), Hospital Massacre (directed by Boaz Davidson), Nightmares (directed by Romano Scavolini), Dark Night of the Scarecrow (directed by Frank De Felitta), Halloween II (directed by Rick Rosenthal), Saturday the 14th (directed by Howard R. Cohen), Madman (directed by Joe Giannone), and The Prowler (directed by Joseph Zito). Do note that after recording for 5 hours, the timing of our tracks and communications got a little off. The problem is mitigated to the best of Gabe’s editing ability, but there are still a few odd moments where reactions are off time.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. Episode two of the Centennial Special Series brings the first battle. Africa is a geographic theater that isn't talked about enough when it comes to the The Great War but it was a place that truly made the war a world war. In the initial months of 1914 an untested aristocratic British general would face the man to be known as 'The Lion of Afrika', and loyal African troops would meet colonial Indian invaders.

Becci hat selbst mal ein Jahr in Israel gelebt – ziemlich schnell war deshalb klar, dass sie uns in „ihrer“ Folge einen israelischen Filmklassiker mitbringen würde. Wir müssen euch enttäuschen – es ist NICHT „Eis am Stiel“ geworden^^, aber ein späteres Werk vom gleichen Regisseur: „Alex is Lovesick“ von Boaz Davidson. Ästhetisch handelt es sich dabei um eine Art Mischung aus „Die Lümmel von der ersten Bank“ und „La Boum“. Aber hinter derbem und oft auch plattem Humor verbirgt sich ein tiefer Einblick in die israelische Gesellschaft der 50er Jahre – geprägt von Austerität, der Sehnsucht nach einer Heimat und dem Umgang mit den Traumata der Shoah. Wir diskutieren über überzeichneten Humor und Stereotypen, über die Unterschiede zwischen dem israelischen Kino der 70er/80er und heute und über die Frage, ob ein Filmklassiker automatisch ein besonders guter Film sein muss. Ob wir am Ende herausfinden konnten, warum dieser Film einen Platz im Herzen jeder israelischen Familie hat? Hört selbst!

The Last American Virgin is an 80's teen sex comedy where creepy sexless Gary falls instantly in love with Karen. The soundtrack is great and Joey liked it more than Scott but he can't let go of how much they recycle the same songs. Priorities man.
Boaz Davidson is the Head of Development and Creative Affairs for Millennium Films. Davidson is known for his hit film “Lemon Popsicle”, which debuted at the Berlin Film Festival, receiving its Panorama Audience Award. Davidson was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, graduated from London Film School, and later moved to the United States. I was able to talk with Boaz about his early years directing films, the difference between making films in Israel compared to the United States, and the possibility of “The Expendables 3”.
