TCTT goes to the movies! Joined by JB from The Broken Plane Podcast, we ventured out to Joy Cinema to see A*P*E, a 3-D quickie aimed at beating Dino De Laurentiis' big-budget and much-hyped remake of KING KONG to the screen.
Shot in South Korea on a budget of $23,000 in 14 days, this one doesn't quite measure up to the Jeff Bridges one, but does that one have King Kong flipping the camera off? No, I didn't think so. How many 3-D snakes are thrown at and knock over the camera in that one
It wouldn't be a TCTT Christmas without Christmas movie, so we're delaying our Ted V. Mikels The Corpse Grinders episode. In previous years, we've celebrated with Christmas Evil and Don't Open Till Christmas. We're continuing the tradition with the Polonia Brothers' Feeders 2: Slay Bells. We watched the first one last month and it seems cine-masochistically fitting that we jump back into the twins' bizarre world of terrible graphics, stilted performances, and puppet aliens...but with 100% more Santa. What's that? You haven't seen the first one? Not to worry, the entire first film is recapped in flashbacks...like, completely recapped. The capper? This one's one YouTube! Episode coming very soon!
It's belated, but we are finally publishing our TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS episode. Get it on iTunes or here (right-click and 'save as').
"This is me excited..."
Featuring the most random ending we've seen on the show...
Next up, we bravely enter the 21st century with the 2005 unauthorized sequel to Romero's Day of the Dead: Day of the Dead 2: Contagium.
EDIT: Scott was pretty sure the star (Tony Anthony) was Robert Romanus, the guy who played Mike Damone in Fast Times at Ridgemont High...who Matt kept referring to as Vic Damone! What do you think? Is Scott crazy? Tell us in the comments!!!
We are proud to present our Abby episode. Available on iTunes and on its Libsyn page.
Sadly, this is Eshu's good side...
Tell us your favorite "blaxploitation" film in the comments for this post.
NEXT UP:DEADLY PREY
A group of sadistic mercenaries kidnap people off the streets and set
them loose on the grounds of their secret camp, so the "students" at the
camp can learn how to track down and kill their prey. Yet another adaptation of the story "The Most Dangerous Game" with some Vietnam vet First Blood & Rambo: First Blood Part II thrown in there. Get ready to fall in love with the '80s all over again.
