Our first podcast of 2026 is a rip off of The Defiant One’s set in the Philippines staring Pam Grier and Sid Haig. An underwhelming ’70’s exploitation film.
Don’t Open Till Christmas (1984)
This movie doesn’t make a goddamn lick of sense!
It’s about a maniac killing people dressed as Santa Claus on the streets in London. People continue to dress as Santa Claus/Father Christmas regardless, giving him plenty of victims to choose from.
Went through three directors and a script rewrite and it shows! Stars no one you’ve heard of, although Caroline Munro does appear in one scene.
No commentary track for this one due to ongoing technical issues. You’d don’t wanna this stinker anyway. Trust us!
They Call Me Macho Woman! (1989)
A pretty dumb, yet fast paced and entertaining “action” film from the late ’80’s. From the director that brought you Parole Violators and starring no one you’ve ever heard of. This one is a doozy, folks!
Night of the Zombies (1981) Review
What happens when you watch a “scary” movie with a 2.7 rating on IMDB? Nothing scary, that’s for sure.
Shorts for the Masses #1: Four Short Films From The 1950’s
For a change of pace, instead of watching a movie, we watched four short films from the 1950’s. One was about IBM computers at the Roper Corporation. We learned about how to build a bomb shelter in your basement. We also learned how to make a disgusting 1950’s sandwich and what to do in our leisure time.
Commentary tracks for all these will be available shortly, as well as on our YouTube page.
Trash for the Masses #23: Skyscraper (1996)
We take on a Die Hard ripoff from the mid-90’s starring Anna Nicole Smith and her boobies.
Rubber Soul vs Revolver: A Beatles album shootout!
We discuss the two seminal Beatles records, Rubber Soul and Revolver, which marked a turning point in the band’s sound and creativity.
Trash for the Masses #22: A Man Called Rage (1984)
One of many Italian Road Warrior rip-offs made in the mid-80’s. This one has nothing going for it at all.
Outtakes: We Pitch A Wes Anderson Superhero Film!
I recently watched Wes Anderson’s new film “The Phoenician Scheme,” which led us on a tangent about his movies and ideas for a superhero film. Discussion is already in progress when this recording starts.
Trash for the Masses #21: Strange Invaders (1983)
Want to know how much of an impression this movie made? When I went to edit it, I couldn’t remember the title or anything about it! Yet, somehow, we talked about it for over an hour! It’s about aliens in a small town in Illinois and features some really odd cinematic choices.
