This week, Josh and Drusilla watched the very cozy Burnt Offerings. From wiki: “Burnt Offerings (Italian: Ballata macabra, lit. 'Macabre ballad') is a 1976 supernatural horror film co-written and directed by Dan Curtis and starring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Bette Davis, and Lee H. Montgomery, with Eileen Heckart, Burgess Meredith and Anthony James in supporting roles. It is based on the 1973 novel by Robert Marasco.[7] The plot follows a family which begins to interpersonally dissolve under supernatural forces in a large estate they have rented for the summer. The film's title derives from the Book of Leviticus, referring to a "sacrifice by fire" and a "gift offered to God."[8]Also discussed: Marilyn Monroe's 100th Birthday, The Silver Book: A Novel by Olivia Laing,  Backrooms (2026), I Love Boosters (2026), Watcher in the Woods (1980), Return from Witch Mountain (1978), Girls Just Wanna Fun (1985), The Midnight Hour (1984), Dark Shadows, Trilogy of Terror, Day of the Locust, Ruben and Ed, Phantasm, The Sentinel, The Legacy, Alliosn's Birthday, and more. NEXT WEEK: Dracula's Daughter (1936)Bloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

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. The 80s Movie Podcast has been researched, written, narrated, and edited by Edward Havens for Idiosyncratic Entertainment. Thank you again. Good night.

Burnt Offerings (1976) is one of the most unsettling haunted house films of the 1970s and one of the most underrated. Starring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Bette Davis, and Burgess Meredith, this slow-burn psychological horror follows a family whose summer rental house may be feeding on them in terrifying ways. In this review, we explore Burnt Offerings' chilling atmosphere, Haunted performances, and disturbing themes of possession, sacrifice, and domestic decay. Often compared to The Shining and Haunting of Hill House, this film quietly builds dread until its unforgettable finale. Is Burnt Offerings a hidden gem of classic horror, of simply a curious relic of 1970s cinema? Chris and Gerry step inside the house and see what it takes in return.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we discuss David Cronenberg, one of the truly great Canadian geniuses and the filmmaker credited with the advent of “body horror” (a distinction he bristles against, for what it's worth). Our B-Sides today include Fast Company, The Brood, M. Butterfly, and Spider. Our guest today is the incomparable Veronica Fitzpatrick, professor at Brown University and Editor-at-Large and Podcast Co-Host at Bright Wall/Dark Room.  We talk about how handsome Oliver Reed is in The Brood, how Cronenberg's films often start with a bang, how misguided M. Butterfly is, and how Fast Company was, in fact, a movie directed by David Cronenberg. There's talk of his novel Consumed, his multiple collaborations with certain great performers like Jeremy Irons, and his incredible, intellectual mind. This is a man who has adapted Stephen King, William Burroughs, Don DeLillo, J.G. Ballard, and Patrick McGrath. What range! There's the real-life French diplomat on which M. Butterfly is based, as well as the metatextual nature of both Cronenberg's adaptation of David Henry Hwang and his later picture A Dangerous Method. It's Cronenberg taking stock of the psychology of his own films! Fascinating. Veronica mentions B.D. Wong's Tony speech, we all marvel at the fact that Adrian Lyne remade Lolita (with Jeremy Irons!) in 1997 and it barely got a release! There's a lot in here! Happy Halloween!

Today we grapple with the beast of our past in The Curse of the Werewolf. We discuss the film's gross origin of the wolf curse, Oliver Reed's steamy werewolf perfomance, and what this version of the werewolf curse is trying to say about our inner monster. Synopsis: In eighteenth-century Spain, an adopted boy becomes a werewolf and terrorizes the inhabitants of his town.

Send us a textOn our season finale to our 4th blockbuster year in the podcast space,  we're going to answer the burning question on everyone's mind these days: What's the deal with Richard Lester? In order to find the answer, we're digging into the notable works from his four decades in show business, starting with 1964's A Hard Day's Night starring John Lennon Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr aka the Beatles along with Wilfred Brambell, Norman Rossington, John Junkin and Victor Spinetti then onto 1973 &74's The Three & Four Musketeers starring Oliver Reed, Michael York, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee & Charleton Heston and topped off with 1983's Superman III starring Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Annette O'Toole, Robert Vaugh, Annie Ross, Pamela Stevenson and Margot Kidder.My guests this week are the ever-reliable Roseanne Caputi and fresh from the sweltering fields of the Sacramento Valley, camera in hand and twice the photobug that Jimmy Olsen ever could be, Gordon Alex Robertson. Before we bumble and stumble and pratfall our way into the madcap, muddled mind of Mr. Lester, the synopses: A Hard Day's Night follows the Fab Four during a 24-hour period as they attempt to escape the responsibilities and madness of fame, their managers --who need them to just stay put for a television appearance-- and the misdeeds of Paul's ornery grandfather who keeps throwing a monkey wrench in everyone's plans. The Three & Four Musketeers adapts the classic Alexandre Dumas swashbuckler, following the adventures and exploits of D'artagnan a young swordsman who travels from Gascony to Paris to join the King's Royal Musketeers as his father did before him. D'artagnan soon joins forces with three of the most colorful and dynamic musketeers, the friends Athos, Porthos and Aramis when the scheming Cardinal Richelieu's Elite Guards attempt to arrest them all for dueling. From there it's non-stop intrigue, war and tragedy as D'artagnan and his three cohorts try to rescue Queen Anne and her dress maker, the lovely Lady Constance, from the dastardly machinations of Count Rochefort and Milady di Winter, two of the Cardinal's most dangerous and effective spies. Superman III features The Man of Steel pitted against Ross Webster, a ruthless business tycoon, who enlists a bumbling computer programmer Gus Gorman to try and control the global coffee and oil markets.  Thwarted by Superman at every turn, Ross and Gus build a living supercomputer to stop him for once and for all. But did Gus go too far?Did Richard Lester go to far? Is he  an unsung genius, a Hollywood hack or stuck somewhere in the messy middle?  Find out!Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/oQWBL_l0I_c 

Talking sin and censorship with Joe as we cover 1971's The Devils. It's one of the most controversial and most censored movies in the Western world, but it's also thematically very important (and relevant). We love this movie for its set design, its performances, its writing, its themes, and, of course, its reputation. Tangents include: Space Jam 2, Nine Inch Nails, Jodie's awesome Monopoly and video game save point questions, things we're looking forward to, places we'd move if language wasn't a barrier, and our midlife crises

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and the legendary @RufusTSuperfly aka Tom Reagan's Hat discuss the swashbuckling delights in the choreography and sound design of Criterion's new release, The Three Musketeers / The Four Musketeers: Two Films by Richard Lester.The Three Musketeers / The Four Musketeers: Two Films by Richard LesterAlexandre Dumas's immortal tale of adventure and camaraderie received perhaps the finest of its numerous screen adaptations with this two-part swashbuckling spectacular from A Hard Day's Night director Richard Lester. Featuring Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, and Richard Chamberlain as the swaggering swordsmen, who thrust and parry their way through courtly intrigue in seventeenth-century France, The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers are also graced with an all-star supporting cast that includes Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Geraldine Chaplin, and Charlton Heston. Lester's exuberant epic breathes new life into an oft-told classic through its boisterous slapstick invention, its meticulous attention to period detail, and a sense of pure, unbridled bravado that is thrilling to behold.Richard Lester's spirited adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's timeless novel immediately distinguished itself from previous film versions with its irresistible lightheartedness. It follows the brash, young wannabe musketeer d'Artagnan (Michael York) as he travels from the French countryside to Paris and befriends Athos (Oliver Reed), Porthos (Frank Finlay), and Aramis (Richard Chamberlain), famed swordsmen whom he must help to stop the conniving Cardinal Richelieu (Charlton Heston) and his plot to undermine the king. The Three Musketeers sweeps viewers away with its exquisite sets and costumes, chivalric romance, and breathless duels punctuated by the ingenious physical comedy that was Lester's trademark.It may be “all for one and one for all,” but it took director Richard Lester two films to contain the sweeping spectacle of Alexandre Dumas's swashbuckling adventure. This sequel—shot simultaneously with The Three Musketeers, since they were originally conceived as a single film—dials down the comic high jinks that distinguished the first installment in favor of a more somber tone, as our heroes are drawn into a deadly revenge plot orchestrated by the seductive Milady de Winter (a deliciously wicked Faye Dunaway). Upping the psychological stakes and deepening our sense of the characters, The Four Musketeers brings this beloved tale of honor and friendship to a close with a rousing emotional flourish.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restorations, with uncompressed monaural soundtracksIn the 4K UHD edition: Two 4K UHD discs of the films presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the films and special featuresTwo for One, a new documentary by critic David CairnsThe Saga of the Musketeers (2002), a two-part documentary featuring interviews with cast and crew membersThe Making of “The Three Musketeers,” a 1973 featurette with behind-the-scenes footage of director Richard LesterTrailersEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by film critic Stephanie ZacharekNew illustration by Mattias AdolfssonThe legendary @RufusTSuperfly aka Tom Reagan's Hat can be found here.Support: JOIN THE ONE HEAT MINUTE PATREON FOR AS LITTLE AS $1 A MONTHFollow the hosts:Blake Howard - Twitter & One Heat Minute Website Alexei Toliopoulos - Twitter & The Last Video StoreSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

FURTHER REEDING (the world's finest Oliver Reed-themed podcast) returns with Oliver Reed's first starring role: the 1961 Hammer horror classic CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF! Despite Reed's starring credit he doesn't appear until the half-way mark of the film, but within minutes he shows his potential for stardom.. and that's before he turns into a hairy, drooling monster! A much different werewolf tale than the Universal classics, it's filled with pathos and sadness, but still gives you plenty of carnage in the final twenty minutes or so. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT! The post Episode 276 – Further Reeding – Curse of the Werewolf (1961) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism This week...more from the great Hammer studios as they craft a chilling tale of deceit and madness. A presumed-dead heir resurfaces, unraveling sinister family secrets. Gothic suspense intertwines with psychological twists, as greed, guilt, and identity collide in a haunting inheritance drama. Starring Oliver Reed and Janette Scott.   Paranoiac (1963) Where secrets fester and madness reigns—welcome to the Ashby estate, where paranoia is just the beginning Paranoiac (1963), directed by Freddie Francis and produced by Hammer Films, is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into themes of identity, deception, and madness. Loosely based on Josephine Tey's novel Brat Farrar, the film is set against the backdrop of a wealthy but dysfunctional British family, the Ashbys, whose lives are marred by tragedy and secrets. The story begins with the Ashby siblings, Simon and Eleanor, living under the care of their strict Aunt Harriet after the death of their parents in a plane crash. Simon, a cruel and manipulative alcoholic, is weeks away from inheriting the family fortune. Eleanor, fragile and haunted by the past, struggles with her mental health, particularly after the apparent suicide of their elder brother, Tony, years earlier. The plot takes a dramatic turn when a man claiming to be Tony reappears, throwing the family into turmoil. While Eleanor is overjoyed and convinced of his identity, Simon and Aunt Harriet are skeptical, suspecting him to be an impostor. As tensions rise, the film unravels a web of deceit, revealing that "Tony" is indeed a conman hired by the family solicitor's son to cover up financial embezzlement. The narrative is further complicated by Simon's descent into madness, driven by guilt and greed. The eerie atmosphere is heightened by haunting organ music and a masked figure, adding layers of gothic suspense. The climax reveals shocking truths about the family's dark past, including Simon's role in Tony's death and Aunt Harriet's attempts to maintain a facade of normalcy. Oliver Reed delivers a standout performance as the volatile Simon, capturing the character's menace and vulnerability. The film's cinematography, with its shadowy visuals and dramatic angles, enhances the sense of unease, while Elisabeth Lutyens' haunting score underscores the psychological tension. Paranoiac is a masterful blend of gothic horror and psychological drama, showcasing Hammer Films' ability to craft compelling narratives that linger in the mind long after the credits roll.

Who'd have thought that answering a magazine advert to be a man's "wife" on an island, fending for yourself for an entire year, would be a terrible idea? They have to live off the land, free from outside influence, a true escape from the monotony of city life in London. We believe this feeling of "escape" is a very "Western" idealist concept. In that respect, it's a very throwaway idea. But these guys actually did it. And here's the end result.Based on the true story of Lucy Irvine, who answered a magazine advert to spend one year on a secluded island with a man she had just met seems too wild to have happened. Starring Oliver Reed and Amanda Donohoe, directed by Nicholas Roeg, this film is a mixed experience, especially as rare as the film is to obtain in its original, legitimate release.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.On this week's episode of Not A Bomb, Troy, and Brad are happy to welcome back to the show Sammy from the GGTMC to discuss the fantasy adventure film - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. As a four-time Academy Award-nominated film, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is one of the more decorated movies discussed on the show. Sadly, those nominations did not translate to box office success, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen failed to recoup the $46 million budget. Does the third film of the “Trilogy of Imagination” deserve a second look? Or does this tall tale need to explode and be forgotten? Listen and find out!The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars John Neville, Eric Idle, Sarah Polley, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, Johnathan Pryce, and Valentina Cortese.Not A Bomb just launched new designs in our Merch store!

CANADA! DIVORCE! Are there any two sweeter words in the English language? I can think of one: CRONENBERG! On this episode of FURTHER REEDING we're getting personal with the 1979 David Cronenberg-directed horror classic THE BROOD starring Art Hindle, Samantha Eggar and - of course - OLIVER REED! It's a film full of complexity, autobiographical elements, (possible) misogyny and killer mutant kids so you know it's right up our alley. Listen and hear some THOUGHTS! The post Episode 258 – Further Reeding – The Brood (1979) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Gor is a planet, a counter Earth, that sits in orbit at the opposite side of the Sun to the Earth we inhabit. And on the Vernal Equinox, this marks the New Year for most Gorean cities. This is the kind of sci-fi, fantasy sword and sorcery that Chris despises, and Dave loves. So it's only right that Dave's pick to see us into the new year would be Gor! But there might be a wildcard in this 1987 loose adaptation which has the review for this much maligned Canon picture going a different way. The making of Gor (1987) was a quintessential Cannon Films production—big ambitions, tiny budget, and just a dash of chaos. Helmed by Fritz Kiersch (the bloke behind Children of the Corn), the film aimed to bring John Norman's Gorseries to life. Now, Norman's books are… let's say “divisive,” so the filmmakers wisely ditched the dodgy bits and went all-in on the swords, sandals, and overly shiny chest plates. Shot in South Africa, the production made the most of the sweeping landscapes, though "epic fantasy" occasionally veered into "amateur cosplay." Still, it had that scrappy Cannon charm, the kind of vibe that screams, "This'll look brilliant on VHS!" As for the cast, it was a mixed bag. Urbano Barberini and Rebecca Ferratti led the charge, while Oliver Reed—bless him—turned up to chew scenery like it owed him money. Rumor has it Reed's off-camera antics were just as entertaining as what made it into the final cut. The costumes looked like a sale at the world's least practical armour shop, and the effects… well, let's just say they tried. Despite the shoestring budget and dodgy execution, Gor carved out a weird little niche for itself among fantasy film enthusiasts, probably because it's so delightfully bonkers. It's the sort of film you stick on late at night with a few mates and some questionable snacks, knowing full well you're in for some glorious nonsense.

Upon arrival, Tarl discovers that he's seen as a prophesied hero destined to free the oppressed people from the tyranny of the evil Sarm and his minions. Armed with a mysterious magical ring and a newfound knack for sword fighting, Tarl joins forces with a group of rebels, including the brave warrior Talena, to overthrow Sarm's regime. Along the way, Tarl must embrace his inner warrior, navigate treacherous alliances, and decide if he's willing to leave his old life behind to become the hero Gor desperately needs. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

“This will be a particularly ignorant episode… from an historical standpoint” - Steve, on WHM's lack of history education On this week's special We ❤️ Movies episode, we're chatting about Royal Rid's 2000-era action epic, Gladiator! How great of a run did this film set off for Russell Crowe? How easily eerie is Joaquin here? Did Jesse Ventura try to snag an audition along with Sven-Ole? How intense is that tiger sequence?
