Larry Cohen territory on this episode. He’s the man behind It’s Alive and also The Stuff.

The Stuff (Michael Moriarty/Paul Sorvino) is about a marshmallow / yogurt-like substance that’s a hit with consumers…however, it turns out: it’s alive!

A consumer satire / creature feature, this is one interesting flick. Everything Cohen does is idea-driven. No nubiles being hacked by machete at a remote campground.

The film features industrial espionage, an industrious kid, and even an FDA-type bureaucrat played by none other than Danny Aiello. The eagle-eyed will spot Eric Bogosian and Patrick Dempsey in barely-speaking roles.

BIG THANKS TO THE INCREDIBLE ARROW FILMS FOR THE REVIEW COPY.

An American hero’s story continues…

Or does it begin? Missing in Action 2 was supposed to be released as the first. Why? Because it’s a Cannon film! No explanation needed.

On this episode, a look at the Chuck Norris film, our first foray into all things Carlos Ray Norris, karate black belt / meme machine.

Does it hold up? Does a bear being chased by Chuck Norris shit in the woods?

All Cannon films are awesome. It’s a fact.

The Sinful Dwarf is a raunchy 1973 Danish exploitation film available in limited edition Blu-Ray (pick it up at Severin Films https://severin-films.com/shop/the-sinful-dwarf-blu-ray/)

Dwarf Olaf lives with his boozy, aged mother, who runs both a bed & breakfast (well, more of a flophouse / rooming house) and also, in its attic, a heroin slavery ring.

Olaf does her bidding, securing women for mom’s business.

A couple in financial straits has to stay at this place until the husband finds more consistent employment (must be tough, he’s a TV writer). When he’s away on business, the missus is turned out.

Experience “the mother of all Dwarfsploitation films” with us.
