A sleazy Brooklyn liquor store owner discovers a dusty case of “Viper” in his cellar, some nasty hooch. He decides to unload it to local hobos dirt-cheap, unaware of its scary side effects: Viper makes imbibers ooze, melt and then explode goo.

Street Trash (1987) is one of the sleazier films ever made, complete with some of the most unpleasant nudity you’ll ever see, a group of homeless people who live in a rusted out car in a scrapyard, corrupt cops, Mafiosi and our heroes: two hobos who discover the drink’s toxicity, while doing battle with the psychopathic leader of a scrapyard gang, Bronson (a Vietnam veteran).

There’s a great closing song, an expletive-filled We Do Things My Way, based on the famous Sinatra song My Way.

ram_logoThis is a podcast about our podcast. That’s pretty meta! What’s the Really Awful Movies Podcast all about?

Hosts Chris and Jeff discuss how our site came about and its tagline: “A celebration of low budget cinema.” It’s really a celebration of genre film of all stripes, particularly horror movies, but also musicals, terrible comedies (like Master of Disguise), oddball monster movies, gang/urban blight films, kung fu, post-apocalyptic wasteland movies, hot rod films, ghost movies, you name it.

Also, focal points of discussion: clearing the copyright for the intro segment for the show (we actually did, to the surprise of the film’s distributor, shocked at our honesty) and choices of libations for recording.

Basically, we like to honor films that don’t get the attention we think they deserve. That’s really the mandate of the Really Awful Movies Podcast.

On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast: how we got into low budget cinema.

On the show, we discuss the following films:

-Eating Raoul.

This film is about a couple who finances their dream restaurant by luring swingers over to their apartment and whacking them over the head with a frying pan to steal their money. An absolutely can’t miss premise that also features a (near) toilet bowl drowning. Also, Satan’s Sadists, a bikers run amok movie that actually DOES feature a toilet bowl drowning.

–The Intruder, AKA, I Hate Your Guts,

This one casts Captain Kirk William Shatner as a cross-burning bigot, one of the few Roger Corman movies that lost money.

-Dolemite,

A cheap martial arts flick, and a supposed “comedy,” featuring the self-proclaimed “Godfather of Rap,” Rudy Ray Moore (RIP) who once proclaimed, “When it comes to rappin’ I was through with it before they knew what to do with it.”
