Get ready for some intense tonal whiplash! 42nd Street's gutter auteur Andy Milligan moved to LA and tried his hand at more comedic fare. With this one, he goes from a brutal gang violence film RIGHT into a wacky buddy comedy where bros high-five about making a vengeance monster. It's intense, violent, sweet, and goofy. Join us! Tim's new music video for The Mountain Goats' "Charlie Sheen Reaches Out To The Feds" can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PEJmPTIzqk And his book All His Damned Mother's Sons is still available!

It's time for more Tubi Trash, baby! But this time, it's a classic of trash from WAY before the days of Tubi. That's right, we're talking about a film from famed director Ed Wood, known for making some of the worst films ever made, like Plan 9 From Outer Space. However, this one is a lot more fun and cohesive than what many expect from an Ed Wood movie. Join Anthony as he spends time with Bela Lugosi the atomic mad scientist on the run from his home country. Oh, and there's a giant rubber octopus?Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.

This week, we're discussing a movie that asks what if the story of Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein was even weirder and more fraught than it actually was? And what if Percy Shelley and Victor Frankenstein were kind of the same guy? And what if Lord Byron was awful? (Okay, that one's true.) Join us as we discuss this strange mess of a movie that we both kind of liked, but really wanted to like a lot more than we actually did.Please rate, review, and tell your fiends.
