Caliber 9 From Outer Space

• Episode 84: Space Truckers + The Convent

  In this brief revival of the Sundance Film Festival's Midnight program, Mike Willden from Watch Skip Plus swings by to discuss Space Truckers (1996), directed by Stuart Gordon, and The Convent (2000), directed by Mike Mendez. Join us as we regale you with tales of Charles Dance and his low energy wang, George Wendt getting his butt sucked into space, Dennis Hopper trapping women into marriage and Adrienne Barbeau killing demonic nuns with gay abandon. We don't think you can really spoil The Convent, which is more interested in horror homage than any kind of actual storyline, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Space Truckers. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:08:21 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

• Pouring One Out for Ozzy: Black Sabbath

  And the truth is, he didn’t die an ordinary man. In this bonus episode, Rob and Joe welcome Sammy from The Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema back on the show to pay tribute to the troubled genius of Ozzy Osbourne, a man whose life encompassed precipitous highs and very dark lows, but whose impact on the worlds of music and, indirectly, film  - not to mention pop culture at large - was immeasurable. Along with a discussion of his life and music, they also dive deep into Mario Bava’s seminal 1963 horror masterpiece, Black Sabbath, the film from which the band took its name. After much dithering, the guys do eventually go into Spoiler Territory for the film – if you want to avoid those, the place to duck out and return later is 1:16:50. RIP Ozzy. Want to get in touch?

• Episode 83: Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701 + Goké, Body Snatcher from Hell

  Red sky in morning, brutal prison guards' warning. Red sky at night, there'll be trouble in flight! Mike White from The Projection Booth podcast joins us to discuss a couple of Japanese exploitation classics: Prisoner Female Scorpion: #701 (1972), directed by Shunya Ito, and Goké, Body Snatcher From Hell (1968), directed by Hajime Sato. Gorgeous visuals and heinous humanity will be the twin themes today. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Prisoner Female Scorpion: #701 by skipping ahead to the 1:21:24 mark, and for Goké, Body Snatcher From Hell by skipping ahead to 2:05:43.

• Episode 82: City Hunter + Stone Cold

  It's business up front and party at the back this week - as long as the business up front is Silly-Beggars and the party involves hogs, testosterone and a psychotic Lance Henrickson making alarming threats. We're joined this week by film-maker Ted Bennett (Reel Terror) to conduct a frequently irreverent discussion on bizarre Jackie Chan vehicle City Hunter (1993), directed by Wong Jing, followed by explosive two-wheeler vehicle Stone Cold (1991), directed by Craig R. Baxley. These films are nonsensical and all about the ride, so we don't bother calling out a Spoiler Territory section for either of them. If you are on tenterhooks about the dramatic resolution of either of these films, please watch them before listening (our advice: don't worry too much about that). Want to get in touch?

• Episode 81: Patrick + Patrick Still Lives

  Justin Kerswell from The Hysteria Lives and The Hysteria Continues pops in to discuss Patrick (1978), directed by Richard Franklin, followed by its notorious and wholly unexpected Italian rip-off, Patrick Still Lives (1980), directed by Mario Landi. Toxic masculinity, screaming cat-fights, Holly Hockeysticks cheer in the face of psychic assault and full body impalement: these movies have similar titles but they're worlds apart. In fact we're still not sure what world Patrick Still Lives is on. It's not really possible to spoil Patrick Still Lives whose mystery plot makes little sense and takes a back seat to sleaze in any case, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Patrick. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:19:47 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?
