Junk Food Dinner
Kevin, Parker & Sean
Junk Food Dinner is a weekly podcast devoted to cult films, sci-fi, horror movies and everything weird and wild about the cinematic art form. Your three hilarious and good-looking hosts each pick a movie and then argue about why we did or did not like them.
JFS129: Cannibal Ferox (1981)
  Your boys are back with another Ghoul Summer classic! We start off talking about movies we saw and things we did. Parker played music bingo and saw Buffet Infinity! Can you believe it?? Next, Sean digs up a spooky compilation of Halloween commercials from the '80s and '90s to discuss. Fun local ads, unfun national movie trailers and some real intense nostalgia abound! Then things get ghoulish! We discuss one of the most notorious video nasties and one of the meanest of the Italian cannibal films -- Cannibal Ferox from 1981. Directed by Umberto Lenzi (Nightmare City), and starring Giovanni Lombardo Radice (City of the Living Dead) and Lorraine De Selle (House on the Edge of the Park), folks travel to the Amazon and run afoul or cannibals and some things that are even worse. All this plus voicemails, junk mails, funny drops, silly stuff and so much more! Direct Donloyd Here Go check out the Patreon after listening or tell your friend about us or leave a review on iTunes.

Junk Food Dinner returns with three films that span an entire century of cinema! Up first, director Harry O. Hoyt and stop-motion special effects master Willis O'Brien bring to life the fantastic world of Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Lost World in 1925, the first full-length motion picture to utilize stop-motion animation. Next, John Flynn, director of Rolling Thunder, adapts a story from the Parker series by Richard Stark about a small-time heist man (Robert Duvall) and his friends (Joe Don Baker and Karen Black) getting payback on an organized crime syndicate in The Outfit from 1973. And finally, we take a look at a breakthrough Korean zombie action flick celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Train to Busan from 2016 directed by Yeon Sang-ho and starring Gong Yoo.

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!!
