Andy Sidaris Podcrawl, Y'all!

Hey, gang,
Our show is joining a podcast network called The Podratic Equation. More info about the other shows will be coming soon, but to celebrate the occasion, we decided to each feature an Andy Sidaris film on our shows. A few years ago (!!!) we talked about Sidaris' ENEMY GOLD.

This time Matt talked with John Morgan and Rob Hafferman about the infamous HARD TICKET TO HAWAII, which achieved notoriety due to clips from Everything is Terrible, but the crazy of this move cannot be limited to a couple of hilarious clips. Check out all of the painful fashion, wooden acting from Penthouse pets, and really unfunny jokes. DOWNLOAD or get it from iTunes.

(NO COMMENT)

Seems like they should only exist on a VHS box.

When you're done here, follow the podcrawl on to the next movie with The Rogue Riffers and PICASSO TRIGGER.

WILD BEASTS episode is here

I was joined by good ol' Jason Farrell and new guest Joey Cruz to discuss Franco Prosperi's WILD BEASTS from 1984. This slab of Gorgonzola falls into the "Nature strikes back" category of disaster/message/exploitation films with an ecological warning about our modern ways. Get the episode on iTunes or HERE.
Mario & Princess Peach relish a new challenge.

Without a doubt, the best actor in the film.

WILD BEASTS (1984)

On our next episode, we'll be talking about Italy's WILD BEASTS. There's a nice copy on YouTube that looks great, but it's in Italian and you know we need to have that dubbing. Here's the YT clip we'll be discussing.

THE PSYCHOTRONIC MAN

Matt is joined by Kincher brothers Joe and Travis to discuss 1979's THE PSYCHOTRONIC MAN. It was the end of a long week and we'd had some technical difficulties and cocktails, so steel yourself for some rambling and salty talk about Rocky Foscoe, Chicago barber and recipient of prescient and psychokinetic abilities. Even this amazing development doesn't make him seem like a real human being, but that doesn't matter. We've got some dope-ass music, the worst Irish-cop accent in cinema history, and an epic police chase through Chicago (sans filming permits). Get it on iTunes or HERE.

SEE! This Old Man swallow his face!!!

The premiere was the opening and closing...nuff said.

The WILD GUITAR riff is finally here!

Regular listeners to the podcast well know the long story of our riffing of Arch Hall, Jr.'s, Wild Guitar. We typically do a bit of pre-writing and then get together to record a movie riff in a day and half. It's a good excuse to hang with some old friends and crack-wise.
We started the Wild Guitar riff in February of 2015! There were some problems with it and Joe and I pecked away at it whenever we had a free couple of hours. While there were no nervous breakdowns, it's safe to say that this is our equivalent of Brian Wilson's SMiLE album. Even after we finished  it, I shelved it, trying to come up with a good way to sell it, since Rifftrax doesn't sell 3rd-party riffs anymore. Joe said we should just throw it up on YouTube so people at least get to see it, but the Arch Hall & the Archers music would make all viewing money go to Arch Hall, Jr. I looked him up and found him to be a really big Trump supporter. I was not into that. Then it hit me: what if we gave the riff away as a thank-you gift to people who donated money to charities that are working to undo the damage the current administration is doing?

As a result, I'm pleased to offer this riff and hope to give away as many as possible. The money's never important to us and I hope Arch Hall, Jr., learns that his movie is helping fight Trump & Company.

You just know that would be his guitar-face.


Some friends in our inner circle have seen Wild Guitar and many have said it's our best one yet!

So, how do you get in on this deal? It's simple. Donate at least $4 U.S. to one of the charities listed HERE and either A) take a screen shot of your donation confirmation or B) send us photo proof of your gift and we'll send you a download link to hilarity. You can post it in the comments here or on our Twitter account (@thats_trash) and provide us a means to send you a link (email, Twitter, etc.) and, BINGO, you're in.


Additionally, we're offering our first 3 movies for the same deal. We've done Bloody Pit of Horror, Invasion of the Bee Girls, and Curse of the Swamp Creature. Each donation of $4 dollars will earn you another riff...or become a super donor and get all for $15.

The Corpse Grinders

Matt's joined by culture vulture, raconteur, and all-around great guy John Morgan to discuss a tale of body-snatching, cat food, and flesh-crazed kitties from the late Ted V. Mikels. We try to honor the director of The Astro-Zombies and The Doll Squad by discussing The Corpse Grinders. We might fall a bit short of our target, but we had fun.

The Amazing, Fantastical Technicolor SUBSPECIES Pod-Crawl begins here



The guys at Rogue Riffers had the bright idea to do a podcrawl through a film series with other like-minded psychotronic podcasts. We're honored to be included. The series to watch is Subspecies, from Charles Band's Full Moon Features. Matt had to fly solo on this one, so it's a short episode to set up the series for the rest of the crawl.
Here's how to listen:
Subspecies - We kick it off here or you can download it from iTunes
Bloodstone: Subspecies II - from Rogue Riffers
Bloodlust: Subspecies III from Bad Movie Night
Subspecies 4: Blood Storm from Wax On Wax Lyrical
