B and S About Movies

There is no defense for teen sex comedies and I don't care. That's what I feel like talking about, the movies where twentysomething youths all converge on a beach, a frat party or a fart contest to start making out, making babies and getting in trouble. Youth is wasted on the young.This episode, I'll cover:ZappedComputer Beach PartyHot ChiliKing FratMischiefA Night In HeavenOff the MarkSchool SpiritCatch the new ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nightmare U.S.A.

Today, lock your doors, dim the lights, and grab a cold drink, because we are diving deep into the filmography of a true master of skin, sin, and VHS neon: Gregory Dark. Long before he was helming mainstream thrillers or slasher flicks, Gregory Dark was a legendary titan of adult cinema. But this week, I'm not looking at his X-rated beginnings. I'm exploring his wild transition into mainstream B-movies, direct-to-video erotic thrillers and explosive cult action.This week, I'll get into:Night RhythmsSins of the NightDead Man WalkingStreet AsylumThe Kane-starring slasher See No EvilSecret Games FrenemyCarnal Crimes Expect venetian blinds, smoky rooms, melodrama, high-octane action and plenty of saxophone solos.Catch the new ⁠⁠⁠⁠Nightmare U.S.A.

All five Rambo movies. This is where I lose half my audience, right? Well, stick around, because I love these movies but I can still make fun of them at times. There are more samples this episode than Paul's Boutique. There's also a list of Rambospolitation movies, fake Sly Stallone getting interviewed about the Rambo cartoon, Sly making fun of Russell Mulcahy, the changed ending of the third movie and so much more, including as many sound clips of other Stallone movies as I could add.Catch the new ⁠⁠⁠Nightmare U.S.A.

Get ready for a deep dive into the wonderfully chaotic, budget-conscious world of physical media as we crack open the treasure chests of Mill Creek box sets! On this episode, we are digging through the bargain-bin goldmines to celebrate some of the wildest cult, horror and exploitation flicks to ever grace a multi-feature set.From euro-zombie outbreaks and Spanish chiller mansions to psychedelic 70s oddities, I'm breaking down these essential grindhouse gems feature by feature.The Game: When playing along with the screen gets entirely too dangerous.Panic: Pure atmospheric dread and pulse-pounding tension.Oasis of the Zombies: Because what's better than Nazi zombies guarding lost gold in the desert?Medusa: George Hamilton in a Greek gialli?Murder Mansion: Gothic shadows, spooky architecture and bodies dropping fast.The Ghost: Spooky spirits bringing gothic joy with Barbara Steele.The Devil's Hand: Occult shivers and dark forces at play.Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon: Edgar Allan Poe-inspired madness done the right, grimy way.Catch the new ⁠⁠Nightmare U.S.A.

Today, we are turning down the lights, locking the doors, and exploring the chilling subgenre of wax museum horror. There is something inherently unsettling about wax figures—lifelike, yet eerily lifeless—making them the perfect vessel for terror.In this episode, let's talk about six masterpieces of melting menace:House of Wax (1953) – The timeless classic starring Vincent Price that set the gold standard for museum-based mayhem.Chamber of Horrors (1966) – A thrilling ride featuring a gimmick-heavy "fear meter" and a sadistic killer with a collection of prosthetic hands.Nightmare in Wax (1969) – A campy, sleazy cult classic where a disfigured sculptor exacts bloody revenge on Hollywood starlets.Santo in the Wax Museum (1963) – Lucha libre meets gothic terror as Mexico's greatest masked hero battles a mad scientist with a taste for immortalizing his victims.Waxwork (1988) – A wildly creative 80s splatter-fest where a midnight tour of a private exhibit plunges teenagers straight into historic horror dimensions.Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992) – A dimension-hopping, gore-drenched sequel that turns the dial up on dark fantasy and sci-fi chaos.Catch the new ⁠Nightmare U.S.A.

Before the modern era of self-branded pop superstars, Jayne Mansfield wrote the blueprint. As one of the definitive defining bombshells of the 1950s and 60s, she brilliantly weaponized her own public persona, combining high-IQ intellect (she was a classical pianist and spoke multiple languages) with magnetic, over-the-top camp and screen charisma. Mansfield transcends standard Hollywood starlet tropes by leaning into self-parody and theatrical comedy, bridging the gap between classic studio system glamour and the shifting counterculture tides of modern cinema.In this episode, I'll dive deep into her filmography, exploring a wild cinematic lineup:The Wild , Wild World of Jayne Mansfield – A bizarre, fascinating documentary look into her lifestyle and global phenomenon.The Girl Can't Help It – Frank Tashlin’s vibrant rock-and-roll masterpiece packed with incredible musical performances.The Loves of Hercules – A glorious sword-and-sandal epic pairing her up with a pre-fame Arnold Schwarzenegger counterpart, Mr. Universe Mickey Hargitay.Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? – A razor-sharp, satirical takedown of the advertising world and pop culture mania.The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw – A delightfully eccentric Raoul Walsh Western comedy that turns genre conventions on their head.Catch the new Nightmare U.S.A.

This time, we're talking rip-offs. Robowar, Lady Terminator, Idu Saadhya (Bollywood Stagefright), Blue Island, Paradisio Blu and Blue Tornado. But it's also about Harlan Ellison vs. James Cameron, Ricky Schroder going to Point Dume and watching a Satanic orgy ritual sacrifice on video, the heel turn of Willie Aames and Scott Baio, misquoting Lucio Fulci and Ted McGinley punching the little man in your mom's boat.
