It's our 50th episode! To celebrate, we have lined up a TRIPLE TREAT with Doctor Ethan Lyon along for the ride. We shoot up the streets with Isaac Hayes in Truck Turner (1974) directed by Jonathan Kaplan. Then we indulge in some Indonesian black magic insanity with Special Silencers (1982), directed by Arizal. And finally, we go for maximum bamboozlement with famed egosploitation miracle worker Neil Breen's Fateful Findings (2013). Vengeful pimps, rhizomial gut explosions and completely incoherent messianic ramblings - just what every 50th celebration needs. We didn't think it was possible to spoil Special Silencers, but will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for the other two films. So if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Truck Turner by skipping ahead to the 1:01:33 mark, and for Fateful Findings by skipping ahead to 2:25:36.

What was the British pop movie like before The Beatles? They were quite a lot like What a Whopper, as Graham and Mark discover this week. A featherweight farce in which a struggling writer and his bohemian friends try to fake a Loch Ness Monster sighting - just go with it, OK - it features a plethora of British comedy legends, a script by Dalek creator Terry Nation, and, as its lead, one Adam Faith. It's easy to forget what a massive name Faith was in his heyday, and our hosts examine every aspect of his wild career, from his other acting roles in Budgie and Beat Girl through his career in financial advice to his delightful last words. We also discuss the real-life Loch Ness Monster hoaxes that may have inspired Nation's script, the tragic life of female lead Carol Leslie, the film's not-wholly-unstereotypical vision of Scotland and the state of Michael Winner's finances. It's a monster of an episode! If you don't want to see us reduced to hoaxing cryptids to make ends meet, you can donate to our Patreon, where you'll get a bonus episode of this podcast every month.

Il est né le 20 août 1942 à Covington, Tennessee. Les parents d'Isaac sont morts quand il était enfant, il a donc été élevé par ses grands-parents. Il a commencé à chanter à l'église à l'âge de cinq ans et a appris le piano, l'orgue et le saxophone. Isaac a ensuite déménagé à Memphis pour se produire sur le circuit des clubs de la ville Il était membre de plusieurs groupes, dont Sir Isaac And The Doo-dads, les Teen Tones et Sir Calvin And His Swinging Cats. En 1962, il a commencé sa carrière d'enregistrement, enregistrant des faces pour une variété de labels locaux. En 1964, Isaac signe chez Stax Records. Isaac a travaillé avec le saxophoniste des Mar-Keys Floyd Newman et a remplacé, de temps en temps, Booker T. Jones.  Après avoir joué sur plusieurs sessions pour Otis Redding, Isaac s'est ensuite associé à David Porter et le duo a remporté le succès avec "Hold On I'm Comin" de Sam And Dave, "Soul Man" et "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby". Ils ont écrit la chanson de Carla Thomas, 'BABY', et les airs de Johnnie Taylor 'I Had A Dream' et 'I Gotta Love Somebody's Baby'. Isaac et David ont formé le groupe The Soul Children comme véhicule pour leur écriture de chansons. En 1967, Isaac a relancé sa carrière d'enregistrement avec l'album "Presenting Isaac Hayes", en 1967. 'Hot Buttered Soul' a suivi deux ans plus tard. 'The Isaac Hayes Movement' et 'To Be Continued' ont suivi en 1970, avec 'Black Moses' en 1972 Le film de blaxploitation "Shaft" est également sorti cette année-là, dont la chanson titre est devenue un énorme succès dans les charts Pop et R and B cette année-là, atteignant la première place. La chanson a ensuite été reprise par Eddy And The Soul Band en 1985 et a atteint la 13e place des charts britanniques. Il y a eu d'autres bandes sonores de films qui ont suivi sous la forme de " Tough Guys ", en 1973, et de " Truck Turner " en 1974. Isaac a quitté Stax en 1975, à la suite de différends sur les redevances, et a créé son propre label Hot Buttered Soul. Après des problèmes avec le fisc, Isaac est déclaré en faillite l'année suivante. Il a ensuite déménagé dans les empreintes Polydor et Spring. En 1977, le double LP 'A Man and a Woman', enregistré avec Dionne Warwick , indique un renouveau dans sa carrière discographique. En 1979, une collection de duos avec Millie Jackson , intitulée "Royal Rappin's", est sortie. Isaac a également produit l'album 'Here's My Love' pour l'artiste Linda Clifford la même année. Isaac a ensuite sorti quelques albums solo, "And Once Again" des années 1980 et "Lifetime Thing" de 1981. La même année, Isaac fait une apparition dans le film de John Carpenter "Escape From New York", avec lui jouant le rôle de "The Duke Of New York". Musicalement, Isaac a également pris sa retraite pendant cinq ans avant de réapparaître avec 'Ike's Rap', un single du Top 10 US R&B tiré de l'album 'U Turn'. Deux ans plus tard, il revient à nouveau avec "Love Attack", avant d'abandonner à nouveau la musique pour se concentrer sur le jeu d'acteur. En 1995, Isaac s'était converti à la Scientologie. Il a ensuite sorti deux CD sous la forme de 'Branded' et l'instrumental 'Raw and Refined'. Sous le nom officiel de Nene Katey Ocansey I, il a également été membre de la famille royale de la nation africaine du Ghana. 1997 a vu Isaac fournir la voix de Jerome 'Chef' Mc Elroy, sur la série animée South Park. En l'an 2000, 29 ans après la sortie du film "Shaft", Isaac a commencé à travailler sur une nouvelle version de l'original, pour une suite intitulée "Shaft". Cela était basé sur le détective, Samuel L. Jackson reprenant le rôle rendu à l'origine célèbre par Richard Rountree. En 2001, il a soutenu Alicia Keys en tant que musicien et arrangeur sur son premier album acclamé "Songs in A Minor", en utilisant une véritable instrumentation. La chanson "Rock Wit U" a été utilisée sur la bande originale du film de 2001. Beaucoup de ses albums originaux d'Enterprise ont été réédités au format CD par UK Ace sous leur logo Stax réactivé.

I had the pleasure of speaking with esteemed actor and minister, Mel Novak. I knew he was a talented actor – I did not know he was a prison and skid row minister. Mel was set to be an athlete, however, fate had other plans for him, and he has had over 28 surgeries and he is a cancer survivor. He is divorced, and raised his two daughters alone. As an actor, Mel made his film debut in two 1970’s films – Truck Turner (with Isaac Hayes) and Black Belt Jones (with Jim Kelly). He then went on the work with Yul Brynner and Sybil Danning. Mel has worked on more than 64 films, and in 2021 he has at least 4 films on the horizon. Mel was the hitman “Stick” in the 1978 film Game of Death with Bruce Lee. How many times does anyone get to be the Bruce Lee hitman? After that, he worked with Chuck Norris on two films. More importantly, Mel talked about his calling as a prison minister and working on skid row. He says he several huge trash bags (no he is not throwing them out) of letters from prisoners, letting him know how he changed their lives. I’ve posted his Wikipedia link below.

The aforementioned Hayes stars as the titular skiptracer who, after killing a bounty, must evade all sorts of villains through the mean streets of '70s LA. Not only is it better than Shaft, but it's also better than most big-budget action films made in the 21st century with a slapping soundtrack to boot. The Projection Booth's Mike White and OughtFiveFilm's Father Malone join Chris to talk all about Isaac Hayes, the film's fantastic music, and where it ranks in blaxploitation cinema. You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.

Truck is coming for justice and vengeance (if that's possible). He's got a big hand cannon. He's got big shoes. And he ain't taking no crap from no back-talking pimps. So grab your ass, and prepare for the most badass movie we've reviewed. Truck Turner is super-badass. From the soundtrack to the clothes to the dialogue to the plot to Yaffett Cotto to the cinematography it's got it. It comes in buckets and waves of badass. It's dialed to 11.5. It's a 90 minute quarantine with only one partner - badassness. This movie is badass. Spending the whole movie being covered in cat pee, our hero is a pretty big piece of crap. He's an awful boyfriend. He's not a good bounty hunter. Everyone around him dies and he's broke as hell. Yet, Truck and his partner Jerry are eye-candy from the very opening scene. It's not that you want to hang out with these guys (because they smell of cat piss and you'll likely get shot if you do) but you do want to be a voyeur into their daily life. They are just an absolute blast from the beginning. Then there is the parade of pimps. From Gator, to eye-patch guy, to Yaffet Cotto's Harvard Blue and most especially Nichelle Nichol's Diranda. The cadre of villains that hunt the bounty hunter play like Spider-Man's Rogues Gallery and share some interesting similarities with them in a weird way.  Lastly, the cinematography is probably some of the most under-rated in film. There's some chances taken here that all end up paying off in spades. Keep your eye out for the great shots that are iconic for the genre.

These Guys Won't Stop Talking

Season 3 Blaxplotation is in full effect and you better have your hoes in check because Truck Turner ain't playin' that shit. Join us as Uhura parades her hoes and there annual revenue and Mr. White Folks shows off his eye patch / dress shirt coordination game (Louis on Louis)!

Hi everyone! Andrew’s back this week with another Fantastic Fest feature, a film starring one of the greatest comedians of all time, Eddie Murphy. I’m excited to hear his take on this film, as blacksploitation films are a personal favorite of mine, especially the films of Dolemite. He’ll let you know his thoughts in a minute, but for a few recent reviews from Andrew, check out “Fractured” (Episode #642), “In The Shadow Of The Moon” (Episode #635), and the absolutely amazing “Jojo Rabbit” (Episode #631). You definitely won’t regret that last one. Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our friends at the Good Game, Great Game podcast. Every episode, the crew talks about the video games they’ve been playing, along with any related and unrelated topics. Be sure to check out Andrew Orsie’s guest review for “Scream 3” (Episode #600) as part of Reign of Terror 2019! You can find them on Twitter and Instagram @GoodGreatGame.

Andrew here. Back this week with the fourth and final Netflix production to debut at the 2019 Fantastic Fest. There were two secret screenings at this year’s festival and unlike last year, the secrets stayed under wraps. In 2018, it was known that the SUSPIRIA remake was scheduled for release shortly after the festival and there weren’t many other likely contenders for the one mystery movie slot. The rumor mill proved right and the audience was neither surprised nor disappointed when they introduced SUSPIRIA (Episode #418) which garnered generally positive reviews. This year proved far more exciting with the two secret screening slots and a plethora of possible pictures, including JOKER, DOCTOR SLEEP, UNCUT GEMS, ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP, THE LIGHTHOUSE (which ended up being one of the two) and... Today’s movie is DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, the 2019 biographical comedy written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and directed by Craig Brewer. The film stars Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore - nightclub MC, stand-up comic, rhythm & blues singer, and all-around entertainer. The year is 1970 and Moore, now in his late 40s, has seen some modest success as a local act in Los Angeles, but still spends his days clerking at a record shop to make ends meet. Moore is inspired by a swaggering vagrant carrying on about the legendary and entirely fictional character known as Dolemite. Moore ends up lifting much of the Dolemite persona, borrowing and embellishing on the original material, before performing in character at a comedy club. Delivering raunchy stories in the style of a beat poet, Moore becomes a sensation, self-releasing several comedy albums recorded in his living room. Before long, he sets his sights on bringing Dolemite to the silver screen. Spoiler Alert: DOLEMITE made it to the big screen in 1975 and was an absolute box office smash. DOLEMITE IS MY NAME is about Moore’s quest to make it all happen. Going in, I assumed I would be at a disadvantage, having only a passing familiarity with the original DOLEMITE as a lesser member of the blaxploitation pantheon - up there with characters such as SHAFT, FOXY BROWN, SUPER FLY and TRUCK TURNER. Fortunately, this was not the case. The story here is a universal message of the power of positivity and believing in one’s self, as cheesy as that may sound for a comedy that sports a hard R-rating. Rudy Ray Moore may have been a shameless self-promoter in his quest for fame, but he also labored hard for representation in the arts. His backers were primarily his family and friends, who frequently gave of their time and lent him money. An organizer and a motivator, Moore was by all accounts the hardest working man on set, involved in every aspect of the low-budget production. DOLEMITE IS MY NAME is so fun-loving that it’s almost overwhelming in its earnestness. Sure, there are struggles along the way, mostly when it comes to finances or minor differences in creative opinion. My one gripe is that it’s such a feel-good movie that the lack of conflict undersells what must have been an incredibly fraught time for Moore and his crew as they filmed a motion picture with a cast and crew largely made up of amateurs. While the film may lack tension, it suffers from no shortage of lewd humor and bawdy physical comedy. Moore was not afraid to press the boundaries of good taste, another reason why he would often struggle to find financial backing. Much of the humor is decades out of touch with modern standards of political correctness, but it can all be appreciated for its place within the time period. The moments in between the reenactments of old jokes are filled with real humor and wit - and that’s where the heart of the film resides. What makes DOLEMITE IS MY NAME fantastic? This magic of this movie is in the performances. Eddie Murphy is as electric as he was prior to the turn of the millennium. With multiple massive-paycheck Netflix stand-up specials in the works along with BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 and COMING 2 AMERICA (you hear me saying the number “2” there, right?), this may be the film that sparks his renaissance. You get Keegan-Michael Key playing it straight as refined screenwriter Jerry Jones. Wesley Snipes signs on as D’Urville Martin, Hollywood actor and DOLEMITE director, slumming it with the shoestring production. Throw in performances by Mike Epps, Craig Robinson, Tituss Burgess, and Chris Rock, as well as newcomer Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Lady Reed and this film has almost too many weapons. DOLEMITE IS MY NAME (2019) is a captivating, soulful comedy, affirming the power of the human spirit, and one that you absolutely must not watch with your parents or your kids. Fans of other true-life comedies about off-beat creative visionaries such as THE DISASTER ARTIST (Episode #153) or MAN ON THE MOON will enjoy this film. Rotten Tomatoes: 97% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 76 One Movie Punch: 8.4/10 DOLEMITE IS MY NAME is rated R and streaming on Netflix. Come back after the weekend and to catch me pinch-hitting for Joseph on Matinee Monday. I’ll be talking KNIVES OUT. Writer-director Rian Johnson already had an eclectic filmography, so why wouldn’t he follow up THE LAST JEDI with an Agatha Christie-inspired mystery with one of the most ridiculous all-star casts ever assembled? KNIVES OUT hits theaters for Thanksgiving so we’ll keep it spoiler-free. See you then.

Dans une grande réunion de famille, le cinquième film de la franchise rassemble Shaft Junior, lui-même fils de Shaft II, neveu du John Shaft originel (ou plutôt son fils, la famille c’est compliqué), qui s’associent pour endiguer un trafic de drogue. Rattrapé au dernier moment par Netflix, le film n’a en terme d’intrigue aucun intérêt, à part celle de créer une nouvelle filiation.

This week, we trace the evolution of black American cinema from blaxploitation in the 1970s to what we’re calling "blaxplaining" in 2018. While blaxploitation sought to showcase black actors in dramatic, action-packed films, today’s blaxplaining centers on the challenges of being black in America. We examine three films — "The Hate U Give," "Blindspotting" and "Sorry to Bother You" — and ask if they accurately depict aspects of contemporary black life, or instead merely seek to make some black experiences more palatable to white audiences.Discussed this week:"The Hate U Give" (directed by George Tillman Jr., 2018)"Blindspotting" (directed by Carlos López Estrada, 2018) "Sorry to Bother You" (directed by Boots Riley, 2018)"Coffy" (directed by Jack Hill, 1973)"Slaves" (directed by Herbert Biberman, 1969)"Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song" (directed by Melvin Van Peebles, 1971)"The Devil Finds Work" (by James Baldwin, 1976)"Lady Sings the Blues" (directed by Sidney J. Furie, 1972)"Mandingo" (directed by Richard Fleischer, 1975)"Jaws" (directed by Steven Spielberg, 1975)"Hammer" (directed by Bruce Clark, 1972)"Truck Turner" (directed by Jonathan Kaplan, 1974)"Shaft" (directed by Gordon Parks, 1971)"Blacula" (directed by William Crain, 1972)"Proud Mary" (directed by Babak Najafi, 2018)"The Equalizer 2" (directed by Antoine Fuqua, 2018)"White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism" (Robin DiAngelo, Beacon Press, 2018)"Super Fly" (directed by Gordon Parks Jr., 1972)"Dr. Black, Mr. Hyde" (Directed by William Crain, 1976)"Cotton Comes to Harlem" (Directed by Ossie Davis, 1970)"Mahogany" (Directed by Berry Gordy, 1975)"Dancing in the Moonlight" (Still Processing, 2016)

As much as Shaft is a beloved blaxploitation classic, Truck Turner is quite possibly equal if not better than it. Isaac Hayes is very enjoyable as the title character but its Nichelle Nichols who steals the movie. We've known her for years as Uhura in Star Trek and she was always a capable actress but you immediately gravitate to her cause of how great she does as a villain. The plot is simple but its really the characters and action the brings it all together perfectly. Definitely a must watch movie.
