Really Awful Movies: Ep 477 – Parasite

This week on the podcast, we head to Charles Band Land and the 1980s, for a curious post-apocalyptical sci fi horror and Demi Moore’s uh…breakout role?

Dr Paul Dean was compelled to create a bio-weapon for an evil corporation on behalf of the mysterious group, The Merchants. Once he realizes the error of his ways, he tries to destroy it…BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

Really Awful Movies: Ep 470 – Jack the Ripper and Murder by Decree

On this episode of the podcast, with the recent passing of Donald Sutherland, now seemed like the right time to revisit the Bob Clark thriller, Murder by Decree.

This is a late 70s feature, imagining Sherlock Holmes and Watson on the hunt for the infamous Whitechapel butcher.

And the cast is absolutely top-drawer, with Christopher Plummer, James Mason, John Gielgud, and Dead Ringers’ Geneviève Bujold. Sutherland makes an appearance as a psychic, and he’s pretty great, though nothing like the real-life character on which his character is based.

The last time we tackled similar subject matter, was a podcast recorded in London the night after we did the Jack the Ripper tour.

For those who are interested, here is a link to Hands of the Ripper, which Jeff and I recorded after a few beers from our South Kensington hotel accommodations.
