Junk Food Dinner is back for another month of diving into the deepest depths of cult movies as we examine three films that couldn't be more different from one another!  Up first, the horrors of the Cold War strike an elementary school when an air raid alarm goes off and the students and faculty are unsure if this a drill or the real thing in Frank and Eleanor Perry's Ladybug Ladybug from 1963. Next, Burt, Dom and much of the cast of the original return for another cross-country road race with more wacky hijinks and crash-ups in Hal Needham's Cannonball Run II from 1983. And finally, a woman seeks revenge after the murder of her husband at the hands of greedy land developers in Toshiharu Ikeda's Mermaid Legend from 1984. All this plus Gathering of the Juggalos chat, what movies we've been watching in theaters, voicemails from the homies, Last Summer gets a blu-ray release, A.I. continues to suck, the hottest toy mash-ups we can look forward to in 2026 and so much more!

JFS122: Pi (1998)
  You love math, right? We presume that you do, and that's precisely why we're reviewing Darren Aronofsky's debut feature Pi, from 1998. That's Pi, like the number (not PI, like the detective, nor pie, like the dessert). But don't worry, even if you hate math, the movie's got plenty of self-mutilation and phantom traincars. But before that! Parker and Sean break down the release calendar and chat about every single movie coming out in theaters in July of 2026. So #DonloydNow and enjoy this bite-sized Junk Food Supper. We got all this plus Twin Peaks jokes, residual smoke damage, rooting for a full-on Blade Runner situation (atmospherically), proximity to sea lions, an in-depth exploration of the direct-to-cruise-ship film sales marketplace, shout out Barone's Pizza (Valley Glen), points on the backend, occasional World Cup fireworks in the distant background, don't droppy that floppy (diskettes), semi-checked nosedrips, crocodile tears, blank stares, squeeky chairs, phantom gleeks and so much more!!

Junk Food Dinner is back... for the 700th time! That's right, this month JFD celebrates it's milestone 700th episode! And what better way to commemorate 700 episodes than with three movies from the 1970's? Alright, two movies from the 70's and one move from the early 80's but feels decidedly 70's.  Up first, Francis Ford Coppola directs Gene Hackman as a surveillance specialist who gets caught up in the intrigue of the couple he's spying on in 1974's The Conversation, with appearances from Harrison Ford, Frederic Forrest, Cindy Williams and Teri Garr. Next, a decorated WWII solider comes home to his struggling family farm, but soon gets entangled in a revenge plot at the behest of a wealthy gambler in The Farmer from 1977.  And finally, a colorful cast of celebrities, including Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Adrienne Barbeau and Jackie Chan (among many others) compete in a cross-country road race where wacky hijinks ensue in Hal Needham's Cannonball Run from 1981. All this plus Sean gets smoked out, news about The Devils returning to theaters uncut this year, R.I.P Damon Zex, tips for buying weed at Subway, a new What We Do in the Shadows movie in the works, A24 goes A.I. and so much more!
