Closing out our month of horror with the Universal Monsters classic "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954). It is a real groundbreaking creature feature filmed in 3D signifying a historical shift from classic horror to the gimmickry that would dominate genre cinema up until the Hollywood New Wave.

The year was 1998. Mike Myers was the biggest comedy star in the world but that wasn't enough. Mike swung for the stars and tried his hand at serious dramatic acting portraying the real life impresario of Studio 54, Steve Rubell, in Mark Christopher's "54: The Director's Cut". We're joined by master comedian Adam Richard to find out if this really is a forgotten gay classic or just a movie that left us flaccid (unhorny, baby).

Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage gives his most uncaged crazy performance in "Vampire's Kiss" (1989) and we're left absolutely dumbstruck by it. We also recommend "PSYCHO II" and "O.J.: Made In America".

We're some Aussie beans chatting about the Aussie Mr Bean, Yahoo Serious, and his film Mr Accident available to stream on STAN. It is fascinatingly bizarre film and well worth some kind of a watch.

Some of the fest's best are "Art of the Prank", "De Palma", "Dead Hands Dig Deep", "I Am Not A Serial Killer". Come hang out at Alexei's comedy showcase on September 30th at The Gaelic Club.

With the colourful lights of Stranger Things still flickering around us, we tackled another 80's, sentimental, sci-fi story - John Carpenter's almost forgotten Starman. If you liked the Duffer Brothers mix of Spielbergian fantastical wonder and Carpenterian thrilling precision, this flick is worth checking out for sure. If you don't like that stuff, at least you get to see Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen speeding around Arizona in an orange Mustang. Very 80's. Very cool. CamJam will be doing stand up in Melbourne from Aug 29 - Sep 3. Find more details about shows on his Twitter: @iamcameronjames.
