John Hudson and I take on a classic Blaxploitation film!   TRUCK TURNER (1974) stars the great Isaac Hayes as the titular character, a modern-day bounty hunter in Los Angeles. Along with his partner he tracks down people for bail bondsmen which is a far more dangerous job than you might expect. Sadly, this is the only lead role Hayes was ever afforded and it was offered to him so the producers could also get him to provide the film's score. Luckily for fans, he handles both creative opportunities well. In fact, I find the music he supplies for this film to be superior to his Oscar winning SHAFT score. Check it out and let us know what you think. There has been an ongoing conversation about the best Blaxploitation films for decades but nearly every fan will put this film in their top five. It plays like a western set in the 1970's with bad guys getting their comeuppance in suitable, violent ways. The story is fast paced and exciting with plenty of colorful characters peppering the trail Truck follows while dealing with scumbags. The film was originally written for a very different cast in mind but, once the change was made, the collaborative spirit of the production made for a satisfying film. Besides Hayes as Mack ‘Truck' Turner the cast is stacked with excellent character actors such as Scatman Crothers, Charles Cyphers, Dick Miller, Sam Lewis and a brilliant villain role for the great Yaphet Kotto. Plus, if you ever wondered what it would be like to see Lt. Uhura from Star Trek whip a stable of prostitutes into line, this is your chance. Whew! If you have any comments about this movie or any other film we've covered on the show thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening and we'll be back soon. 

This week on The 80s Movie Podcast, host Edward Havens launches a new semi-regular series, Produced and Abandoned, spotlighting films that were completed but largely discarded by their distributors. First up: the bizarre and nearly forgotten 1980 horror-comedy Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype, a very loose retelling of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starring Oliver Reed in a dual role, and written and directed by Charles B. Griffith, the legendary screenwriter behind The Little Shop of Horrors. Produced by Cannon Films, the movie was rushed from concept to completion in just a few months, only to practically vanish from theaters. Edward explores the film's wild production history, from Griffith's original comedy concept and failed attempt to cast Dick Van Dyke to Oliver Reed's last-minute involvement and the movie's mysterious disappearance after only a handful of theatrical screenings. Plus: the connections to cult favorites like Condorman and The Apple, the strange international afterlife of the film on VHS, and why forgotten studio castoffs like Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype still deserve rediscovery decades later. ----more---- Transcript From Los Angeles, California, the entertainment capital of the world. It's The 80s Movie Podcast. I'm your host, Edward Havens. Thank you for listening today. Today, on this 137th episode of the show, I'm going to be starting a new semi-regular series called Produced and Abandoned, that brings movies that were made and barely exhibited back to the spotlight, if even only for a moment. One of the many advantages of having a non-linear podcast like this one is that I, as the host and the researcher and the writer, can zag unexpectedly at a moment's notice when I feel compelled to. And that happened to me this week. For a film historian like myself who focuses on movies from a specific discipline like, say, from the 1980s, the internet is a veritable cornucopia of people who share in some way many of your same passions, and you will find them doing a lot of the legwork unintentionally for you, or pointing you in a direction you didn't know you needed to go. In 2026, I. Edward Havens, still have an active Facebook account, which I mainly use to keep in touch with my friends and family who are scattered throughout the globe. I have curated my feed so that the non-relative crazy uncles and aunts of the world, with their tinfoil hats and indecipherable conspiracy theories about the strangest subjects, do not reach me. So it's not as toxic a space as many people know it to be. Some time last week, thanks to filmmaker Adam Rifkin, I learned about a private Facebook group called Old Movie Newspaper and Print Ads from Around the World. Nearly a century of digital newspaper clippings, mostly from the United States and mostly from the 1970s and 1980s. If, for example, if you wanted to know how many theaters the god awful 1988 Joe Piscopo horror/action/comedy film Dead Heat opened at in Detroit in May of 1988, I can tell you that now. It was twenty one theaters, by the way. Including four drive ins. And while perusing this private Facebook group of insane movie nerds, my kind of people, I saw an ad for an Oliver Reed movie I had never heard of before, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hype. Well, the episode that I had been working on, that I've been tinkering with for damn more than two years now, was moved to the backburner once again, for the time being. I had to learn more about this movie, and I had to learn about it right then and there, because that's who I am. At one thirty in the morning, with a toddler ready to wake up in five and a half hours. I was exhausted, but at least I was going to get the ball rolling. And what I discovered is just how amazingly quick this film went from concept to writing, to production to completion. In an interview published in the 1997 book "BackStory 3: Interviews with Screenwriters of the 1960s," the film's writer and director, Charles B. Griffith, described how the film came together. The title, originally "Doctor Feelgood and Mr. Hype," was one of several joke titles and ideas that Griffith had come up with for an expected meeting with Francis Ford Coppola about getting a movie made in the late 1970s. Griffith's own pitch for the film was that a hippie invents a new drug that turns its users into advertising executives. It was more meant to be an opening icebreaker joke than a real movie. After filming the movie Up From the Depths in the Philippines in 1978, Griffith would find himself talking to Cannon Films co-president Menahem Golan, who wanted Griffith to write a screenplay for The Happy Hooker Goes to Hollywood. While that film would get made, it would get made without Griffith ever signing on to it. But the two men would continue to talk regularly, as Griffith had been a roommate of Golan's when the Israeli filmmaker first arrived in America. And during one of those talks around New Year's Day of 1980s, Golan asked Griffith, who had just finished a two decade long, two dozen screenplay working relationship with Roger Corman, what he wanted to do next, Griffith would blurt out, for whatever reason, the title and pitch for "Doctor Feelgood and Mr. Hype," and Golan loved the idea. He was ready to put $750,000 into the production, provided Griffith had the film ready in four months... Ready to screen at the Cannes Film Market in four months, that is. Now, Griffith hadn't written a script for "Doctor Feelgood" at this point. All he had was that very basic one line concept, because it was never meant to be an actual film. Breaking down his timeline, Griffith figured he had three weeks to write and prep the film, a month to shoot, and two weeks to edit the footage. Of the $750,000 budget. Griffith would get twenty five thousand dollars to write and another twenty five thousand dollars to direct. As mentioned a moment ago, Griffith was a veteran of working with Roger Corman, so getting a shooting script ready in three weeks shouldn't have been a problem. Griffith, after all, had famously written the screenplay for The Little Shop of Horrors in just two days, and Griffith would completely change the direction of the story as well as the title. Cannon's own press release for the film would sum up the new story thusly... Horror spoof. Very loosely based on the R. L. Stevenson story, Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Lovable yet unattractive, chiropodist doctor Henry Heckle takes an overdose of a slimming drug, believing it will kill him. The drug transforms him and he becomes handsome and slim. He seduces several women, all of whom recoil from him when they see the ugliness in his eyes. The drug begins to wear off, and he takes a second dose, and he begins to terrorize the local community. Finally, he realizes that his love, Coral, loves him for himself, preferring the physically ugly but the spiritually beautiful. At first, Griffith tried to get the legendary Dick Van Dyke to play the titular characters, but Mr. Van Dyke was booked for all of 1980, appearing in the title role in a Broadway revival and U.S. tour of The Music Man. So he would turn to his second choice, who was, naturally as one would expect as a second choice to be for the wiry, immensely talented singer, dancer and actor Dick Van Dyke, the incredibly talented but somewhat pudgy, hirsute and not exactly known as a singer and dancer, Oliver Reed. By 1980, Mr. Reed had lost a lot of his star luster that made him an unusual heartthrob throughout the late 60s and early 70s. Not that he wasn't working on a regular basis. In fact, when Reed agreed to take the lead roles here, Griffith would have exactly one week to work with the legendary actor, who had a tiny hole in his schedule before he needed arrive in Paris to begin production on Disney's Condorman. That wouldn't be a problem for Griffith, who was used to dealing with massive production changes at the last minute. Reed's casting was announced to the press in late February, after Griffith had already cast Catherine Mary Stewart, who had recently finished her first film role in Menahem Golan's The Apple, as Coral, the beautiful young woman who falls for Heckyl, as well as Corman regulars Mel Welles and Dick Miller, and Jackie Coogan, the child star of Charlie Chaplin's The Kid Who found a renewed fame as Uncle Fester on the beloved 1960s television sitcom The Addams Family. The film would also be the first film for diminutive actor Tony Cox, best known as Marcus from the Bad Santa movies. Filming was scheduled to begin on March 3rd in Los Angeles. The schedule front loaded to get everything they needed from Reid before they lost him. But just before filming began, Griffith would lose his leading lady. I can't find out why Catherine Mary Stewart left the film before production began, but Griffith would find her replacement in Sonny Johnson. Johnson certainly had more film experience than Stewart, having appeared on an episode of Charlie's Angels, and featured in Bill Murray's Where the Buffalo Roam and in Animal House... although her scenes in the latter film would end up on the proverbial cutting room floor. Johnson would go on to co-star alongside Jennifer Beals in 1983's Flashdance, before sadly passing away in June of 1984 at the age of thirty of a ruptured aneurysm. She would join the cast the day before production began. Despite the legendary tales of Reed and his love of debauchery and excessive drinking, there are no contemporary reports of him being anything but an absolute gentleman on and off the set during his time with the production. The only issue Griffith had with the actor was that Reed had a fantastic take on heckle with a brilliant New York accent and sophistication. But, for Hyde, he would be slow and ponderous. You know, like the stereotypes of Oliver Reed. Busy with production, Griffith never noticed that in the Hollywood press, Cannon Films had, in promoting the 17 films they'd be selling at the Cannes Film Festival's market in early May, been telling the press that the budget for Dr. Heckyl was not $750,000, but $3,000,000. A not unusual mood for producers trying to get bigger sales from foreign markets. But sure enough, Griffith would have a 99 minute movie fully edited by Skip Schoolnik, whose next editing job would be on Halloween 2, and a musical score by Richard Band, ready for its first Cannes Film Market screening on May 11th. The film would screen a total of 8 times in 11 days, although there aren't any reports of how many countries cannon might have sold the film to during those two weeks. From all contemporary appearances, Cannon was preparing to open the film in the United States on October 10th, a date seemingly picked because Oliver Reed would be done with Condorman and not due on the set of his next film, Tobe Hooper's Venom, until the end of October. And as would be the norm in 1980, Cannon would prepare a sneak preview of the film to gauge audience reaction. On Friday, July 18th,1980, Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype would have a sneak preview at the Nickelodeon Theater in Boston, and according to the person who posted the image in the Movie Ads Facebook group, that would be the only paying public screening of the film, that it would be shelved forever from theatrical screening ,and banished to an otherwise ignoble premiere on VHS some years later. And while that is mostly true, it's not exactly one hundred percent true. I was able to find at least two actual theatrical release play dates, both opening on that same July 18th as the Boston sneak preview, at the Golden Mile Twin and the Imperial 6 in Toronto, two evening shows a day at the Golden Mile and five daily shows at the Imperial 6. The only contemporary hint as to how the film played in Toronto was that both screens dropped the film after a single week. Cannon would continue to promote and show the movie at various film festivals and markets around the globe, including at the Montreal Film Festival in late August 1980, where Menachem Golan's crazy disco sci-fi musical The Apple was screening in competition. And in an August 26th, 1980 article about Cannon Films in The Hollywood Reporter, it would be stated that Dr. Heckyl was one of eight movies Cannon was still planning to release theatrically before the end of the year. Except that never ended up happening. Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype does not appear to have ever played in any cinema outside of, maybe, one screening at a film festival in Barcelona on June 8th, 1981, but I can't find anything about this screening outside of a listing on the IMDb's Release info page. The film would start showing up on VHS tapes around the world, with titles like Experiência Fatal in Brazil, Boyfriend and Wild in Greece, Dr. Hekiru to Mr. Haipu in Japan. And my personal favorite, I'm Ugly, But I Want to Conquer in Hungary. In May of 2026, one can find the movie available for free with ads on the Tubi platform, as well as a pirated copy on the most popular English language video sharing platform. I might sit down one day and watch it, but as I said on the previous episode, I have a lot of plans for this podcast. Thank you for joining us. We'll talk again, hopefully, real soon. Remember to visit this episode's page on our website, https://the80smoviepodcast.com/, for extra materials about Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype.

We continue the madness of #MarchMadness 2: Let's Get Nuts! with a movie that pretty much everyone involved in the making didn't like.  We're talking about 1975's CRAZY MAMA - a sort of sequel to BIG BAD MAMA and BLOODY MAMA.  According to that argument, any movie with MAMA in it is also a sequel.CRAZY MAMA stars Academy Award winner, Cloris Leachman and two people from HAPPY DAYS - Donny Most (Ralph Malph) and Linda Purl (Gloria in the earlier episodes and Ashley in the later years).  Dick Miller also has a role which is worth noting because he makes everything good.  Originally titled, CRAZY MAMAS, the movie revolves around a family of women who after losing their hair salon decide to take a road trip to Arkansas where they plan to reclaim their family farm.  How about that for a plot summary.  We're looking at you, Letterboxd.  CRAZY MAMA is part road trip movie, part action movie, part comedy movie.  We try to dissect what this movie wants to be.  Marc provides instructions on what NOT to do when playing at a craps table.  Erica shows off how cute she is in the most unusual way.  Both Ryan and Marc pick the shortest, most obscure scene as their favorites and Erica shares that while growing up in the Midwest, she thought everyone in LA wore Drug Rugs or "Bajas" for some of you.  Our studio audience makes a big appearance on this one and we want to thank them for their support and generosity.  Also, we don't have a studio audience.   

What do you get when you mix werewolves, a serial killer, Dee Wallace, Dick Miller, and Joe Dante? We're talking about The Howling from 1981.

Send a textI know what you're thinking, 1963, a man with X-ray eyes? This has to be completely ridiculous. And sure, there are a few cute scenes. But at its heart is a thought-provoking screenplay, a solid performance from Ray Milland, and a surprisingly effective dramatic turn for Don Rickles as a shady carnival barker. Do not envy X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963)!

Rodney picked this one, and can you say you're surprised? The Film School Janitors watched the low-brow, low-budget horror (?)/ comedy (?!) called EVIL TOONS. Is there evil? Yes. Is there 'toons? Only one 'toon for about 90 seconds. But there are a couple of other reasons to watch this trashy flick - why David Carradine and Dick Miller, of course! What were you thinking?

'Tis the season for GREMLINS! That's right, we asked Saint Nick for a little holiday fun and he delivered with Joe Dante's monster masterpiece. We deep-dive into the classic film for Mark's first watch ever, and geek out over Gizmo, Stripe, and of course, good ol' Dick Miller. We also announce this year's holiday Grab Bag theme, so get pumped for that. If you want to get straight to the Gremlins talk, it happens around 21:00. But if you scrub ahead, just know that...

"@garypavlick5825 1 year ago I love the underlying tones in Corman films. I'm only, 58 so, these films were made: 10 years before I was born. And,  didn't air on tv. They were  midnight drive in movie's. Come the 80s. They were gone by then. About, 25 years ago. I found these on DVD. Compilation discs. I was hooked! The decade of the B film invasion. the beatnik era. The exposure of the back scenes of American lifestyle. When, I started watching these. I said.... Oh! No wonder my parents were kinda weird. That would've been the 70s.  I was born in 65 I said... So, thats what they did behind closed doors. Lol. Rex Carlton was another B movie King. I learned about the real history of American lifestyles through these types of movies. I started to collect as many as I could. all the way up to the early 80s. Remember Mario van Peebles films. and all those Black karate films. I had them all. Lol. And , Dick Miller became an idol to me too. how can't you not like him. ✌️

Charles B. Griffith stumbles upon a new scenario to endlessly repeat for Roger Corman. Turns out, it's the same as the old scenario. In the meantime Beverly Garland cooks, Dick Miller finds his voice and we all listen to a lot of steel guitar.

"The movie has been called one of Corman's dullest films." Roger Corman month continues with a low-wattage western murder mystery about a white man who teaches a biracial woman how to love by manhandling her and killing her brother. Dick Miller is in it but you have to wait 64 minutes before he shows up.

There's an absolutely massive October movie preview with a few of our favorite film makers and a lot of weird nonsense on streaming services. We also talk about "The Long Walk" and some other stuff. Then we finally discuss "Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight" from 1995. The Ernest Dickerson movie brought the Crypt Keeper to the big screen. In it, Billy Zane from Twin Peaks does battle with William Sadler from Freaked over the fate of the universe. Also, demons and Dick Miller are involved.

Uh oh! The gang is back talking all things Paul Bartel on another episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD and this time not only are we yacking about 1976's HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, the made-for-a-bet directing debut of both Joe Dante AND Alan Arkush (and featuring Paul Bartel, Dick Miller and Mary Woronov among many other familiar faces), but we also start with a very special episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents from 1985 directed by Tim Burton(!), featuring music by Danny Elfman(!) and starring Griffin Dunne, Laraine Newman and - wait for it - Paul Bartel as a pretentious art critic. It's even.. uh.. sort of an adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story. All that and so much more, so enjoy! The post Episode 290 – Bartel Me Something Good – Hollywood Boulevard (1976) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Comedians Sabrina Piper & Anthony Zenhauser join Zac Amico this week for a tremendously titillating and turbulent tale. Too low budget for Roger Corman himself, and containing only one cartoon creature despite the title, this David Carradine and Dick Miller vehicle spares no expense for skin as Monique Gabrielle and company steal the show.

On this long-awaited episode of YOU DON'T KNOW DICK we're joined by film critic extraordinaire Alan Cerny to discuss the life and career of actor Dick Miller, starting with a cut sequence (directed by Joe Dante) from the film AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON featuring Dick as a beleagured ventriloquist, and finishing up with a lengthy look at the 1957 Roger Corman classic ROCK ALL NIGHT! We discuss its soundtrack (featuring The Platters and The Blockbusters), the attempted remake by Quentin Tarantino and Dick Miller's incredible performance as guy with the biggest chip on his shoulder imaginable. Check it out! The post Episode 285 – You Don't Know Dick – Rock All Night (1957) (/w Alan Cerny) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Four directors remake several classic Twilight Zone episodes, as well adding as their own material. Does it work? Do anthology films work? Can this movie escape the tragedy that occured during production? Is this a movie, or just tv on a big screen? Starring Dan Ackroyd, Albert Brooks, Vic Morrow, Scatman Crothers, Kathleen Quinlan, and John Lithgow. Oh, and Dick Miller. Directed by John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller. Written by John Landis, Richard Matheson, Melissa Mathison, George Clayton Johnson, Jerome Bixby, and Rod Serling.

For our second episode in the "Corman Graduates: Jack Hill" series, we talk with director, writer and cinematography, Elle Schneider (THE FOOD THAT BUILT AMERICA, PLEDGE NIGHT: AN INTERVIEW WITH ROGER CORMAN, BLISS BLUE, THAT GUY DICK MILLER), about Jack Hill's MONDO KEYHOLE and PIT STOP.  In addition to being friends with Dick Miller and interviewing Jack Hill and Roger Corman on multiple occasions, she is a huge fan of PIT STOP.  She brings an technical perspective on both of the films that you won't find anywhere else. First, we talk about MONDO KEYHOLE.  We discuss the history and legal challenges with making "Nudie Cuties" and "Roughies" films during the 1960s and how that impacted the distribution of MONDO KEYHOLE.  We talk about how Jack Hill got involved with movie, the unique approach he took to casting and filming the movie and the fact that it had to play in adult theaters upon it's initial release. Next, we dive into fan favorite, PIT STOP - one of Jack Hill's most impressive films.  We talk about the struggle the movie faced trying to get an audience in an era when black and white films were going out of vogue in the drive-in circuit.  We share mutual appreciation for Sid Haig's emotional performance - one that is unique to his filmography.  Finally, we discuss the filming approach by cinematographer, Austin McKinney and the unfortunate rift with Jack Hill.  We even talk a tiny bit about Sorceress. Elle shares stories about Roger Corman including his ambitions to be a studio director and the decision to step away to start New World Pictures. We also spend a little time talking about serial killers, the fallout between Jack Hill and Austin McKinney, and movies with the best scenes featuring Dune Buggies.  Why Dune Buggies?  Because Dune Buggies are awesome. We want to generously thank Elle for being on the podcast and sharing her perspectives on these films.  You can check out her website at http://elleschneider.com and look for her next documentary about educational films.  Maybe she'll cover For Safety's Sake: In the Neighborhood?  Probably not.

But before that we go deep on what the heck happened to Robert Zemeckis, and how USED CARS came about - and how it was turned into a mid-80s TV show (briefly). All this and, of course, a close look at Dick Miller's (brief) appearance, and it's NON-STOP LAUGHS. Trust US!

BILLY ZANE-UARY continues! For Those Who Came In Late, we're doing a month-long celebration of one of our best and BALDEST actors, Mr. Billy Zane. And this week, we're reviewing one of his biggest and most villainous roles ever in... Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. The Cryptkeeper goes Hollywood and takes Billy Zane along for the ride. We discuss the film's cult appeal, its impressive demon special FX, the legendary Dick Miller, and how Tales from the Crypt had pop culture in the palm of its decrepit hand. If you want to get right to the Demon Knight review, scrub ahead to 23:19 … but just know, you'll miss some gold this week.

Welcome back to the Video Store! Valentine's Day is almost upon us and if you're here looking for movie selections instead of out buying flowers or making dinner reservations, then sir or madam, I salute you. For this week's episode of the show I've picked four movies that feature unconventional relationships. After browsing the stores aisles looking for this week's film recommendations, I ended up rewatching all four of these movies (a couple of which I hadn't seen in decades) and for the most part they have all aged well. Harold and Maude (1971)Harold is a young adult obsessed with death, while Maude is a 79-year-old woman infatuated with life. The two share a hobby in common — attending the funerals of strangers — and soon this odd couple forms a close relationship. Wikipedia describes this film as a “romantic black comedy drama,” which only begins to describe it. It's sweet, it's funny, and it's emotional. While critics originally hated it, the film as gone on to appear in many “best of” film lists. Something Wild (1986)The last person you would expect a New York banker like Charlie to get involved with is a carefree person like Lulu, but after she kidnaps the yuppie for a weekend of reckless fun, Charlie finds the adventure exciting… until things get out of hand. When Lulu's husband discovers what the pair has been up to, he is none too happy. Someone — or perhaps everyone — has been lying. This not-to-miss thriller stars Jeff Daniels as Charlie, Melanie Griffith as Lulu, and a terrifying Ray Liotta has Lulu's husband, Ray. After Hours (1985)Have you ever had one of those days? After work, Paul Hackett heads to a local diner where he meets a woman named Marcy. The two exchange numbers and later, she invites him over to her apartment. This starts off a chain of events that will have Paul running around the streets of New York from one mess to the next. Before the end of the night his face ends up on wanted posters, he's chased by an angry mob, and he becomes involved in a city wide crime ring. It's a night that Paul will never forget — or maybe, survive. Featuring a star-packed cast including Griffin Dunne (An American Werewolf in London), Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Bronson Pinchot, Dick Miller, and even Cheech and Chong. Directed by Martin Scorsese.Valley Girl (1983)Randy (Nicholas Cage) is a punk rocker from Hollywood. Julie (Deborah Foreman) is a Valley Girl. Their worlds are complete opposites and it seems that everybody and everything will try and stop them from getting together, but sometimes, love finds a way. This classic 80s film was directed by Martha Coolidge and will take you back to the sights, sounds, and music of the 1980s.Thanks for checking out the podcast. If you don't have plans this Valentine's Day, you can have a great time renting and watching one of these films. And if you would prefer to get out of the house, you can always drop by a stranger's funeral. You never know who you'll meet! This is a public episode.

From a great well-known cast of faces, such as William Sadler, Jada Pinkett, Billy Zane, Dick Miller and Thomas Haden Church to some genuinely spooky great practical effects and world building, Demon Knight really delivers in a way most low-budget horror movies don't.Not to mention, it's probably the only horror movie where a black woman is the final girl, and she saves the world!I never thought I'd say that Billy Zane was the best part of anything.... he chews the scenery like never before or again as The Collector. Maybe he's entranced me into doing this episode? Maybe I'm possessed? What is this green goo?!Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode. Just bear in mind, this episode is several years old, it may not sound quite as polished as newer episodes, and new information may have come to light in recent years with regards to the making of this movie (please see above for the original date of release) Please enjoy this time capsule of an episode.

Not only did A Bucket Of Blood give Dick Miller one of his few starring roles, but it provided a story template (as well as leftover sets and actors) for Little Shop of Horrors a year later. See if this Corman classic still provides laughs and chills today as we walk you through this homage to House of Wax that parodies the beatnik scene at the time.

This movie is the perfect all-nighter watch. NYC in the mid 80s'? Please and thank you! And much like the misadventures of Griffin Dunne in this Martin Scorsese masterpiece, After Hours, I just couldn't get this one done. It was a long and winding road that took me at least twice as long as usual. Very apropos. Now that it's done. Let's all relish the absolute monster cast of....Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O'hara, John Heard, Dick Miller, Bronson Pinchot, Cheech & Chong, Verna Bloom, Will Patton and all the bit players that round out this movie.
