The Village People movie! Yes, Can’t Stop the Music follows the exploits of the infamous 70s disco group whose hits like YMCA and Macho Man are absolutely impossible to avoid (no matter how hard we’ve tried).

Go to a sporting event…and you’re bound to hear the da-da-da…and “young men,” etc, etc

As a bonus: in this film you get a young, roller skating Steve Guttenberg in the lead role and a pre-Caitlyn Bruce Jenner. And you get to find out how the group formed and got its name.

Directed by Nancy Walker (The Mary Tyler Moore Show), Can’t Stop the Music is the first…yes…the first…Razzie Worst Picture winner.

Is it deserving of all the scorn? Mostly, but not quite. With a budget of $20 million, the film was released at the tail end of the disco movement and was an absolute flop.

We love Slime City. So when we heard about Buffalo director Greg Lamberson’s next project, Killer Rack, we were thrilled.

On this week’s podcast, we had a chance to chat with Greg, co-star/writer Paul McGinnis, star Jessica Zwolak and co-star Michael Thurber about their work on the movie, dubbed by one wag, “the wrongest film in the history of wrongness.” If that’s wrong, well…we don’t wanna be right.

This horror comedy is about a woman with low self esteem who opts for breast enhancement surgery, unaware that her surgeon, Dr. Thulu, worships H.P. Lovecraft’s elder gods, and the surgery is part of a diabolical plot to rule the world.

We talk about how the film came about, the involvement of Troma boss Lloyd Kaufman, Buffalo locales, casting, the effects, the film’s incredible music, scream queen Debbie Rochon and much much more.

All hail Lloyd Kaufman. We love TROMA films and Poultrygeist is an absolute masterpiece.

On this week’s podcast, we breakdown Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead.

We feel like chowing down on some American Bunker Chicken products! This is a taboo-shattering, highly offensive (to some) flick. Take our word for it and take a listen. It’s really impossible to explain.
