 Many of the films released by The Cannon Group (aka Cannon Films) in and around the 1980s have established themselves as cult classics. This week, we'll take a look at three cult gems produced by Israeli cousins Menahem Golan (who had directed The Apple) and Yoram Globus, the pair of whom had purchased Cannon for $500,000 in 1979. In doing so, we'll encounter sex, lies, videotape, deodorants, big feetsmen, boom boxes, rap talkers, and belts aplenty.First up, Roy Scheider's being blackmailed by a trio of well-cast blackmailers led by John Glovers (Gremlins 2: The New Batch) while his wife (Ann-Margret) tries to run for city councilwoman. With his mistress, Kelly Preston (Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Sin) already brutally offed by the blackmailers, how will Scheider ensure his wife's safety while pitting his foes against each other? Find out in our first Cannon film of the evening, 1986's 52 Pick-Up!Next, we throw down the cardboard and start dancing to the rap talker's beat, with 1984's Breakin'! A frustrated young jazz dancer played by Lucinda Dickey meets up with two break-dancers, O-Zone and Turbo. Together they become the sensation of the street crowds, which includes Jean-Claude Van Damme for no reason. Also, Ice-T is the rap talker for this film.Finally, it's the apocalypse but that's neggy a bad thing as that sasquatch is totally hot plastic. The comedic post-apocalyptic VHS classic adventure flick America 3000 from 1986 has a bigfoot with a boom box. What else could you ask for?All this plus witty banter between friends, the battle royale for the Listener Theme Show contest, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, electro rock, animal cruelty, Junk (voice)Mails, Dennis Leary and so much more!LISTEN NOW: MP3 Direct Donloyd Got a movie suggestion for the show, want to give your opinion on a movie we talked about or just want to tell us we suck?

 Creeps, low-lifes, scumbags, hoodlums and petty thieves beware! This week on JFD, it's all about Charles Bronson cleaning up the streets as we examine the first three Death Wish films.Up first, Charles Bronson stars as Paul Kersey, a liberal architect in New York City. But when a group of thugs (including a young Jeff Goldblum) attack his family, leaving his wife dead and his daughter in a catatonic state, Paul is forced to take the law into his own hands. Armed with his new .32 Colt revolver, Paul hits the filthy streets of the Big Apple and begins a vigilante killing spree. Soon Paul is making the news and gaining the attention of the police chief Frank Ochoa played by Vincent Gardenia in the 1974 crime drama that started it all, Death Wish.Then, Bronson is back as  Paul Kersey, only this time he and his daughter have relocated to L.A., but Paul quickly learns that The City of Angels is not much better than New York, when another group of thugs (this time including a young Lawrence Fishburn) wreak havoc on his family. Of course, it's not long before Paul is taking his .380 Beretta pistol out for some more creep hunting, all while trying to avoid the cops (including a reprise role from Vincent Gardenia) in the long-awaited sequel Death Wish 2 from 1982.And finally, our hero Paul Kersey moves back to New York only to find his friend dead and his neighborhood overrun by cartoonish punks (this time including a young Alex Winter) who are menacing the innocent folks of the community. Needless to say, Charles Bronson isn't going to just sit around and let this happen, as he is soon, once again, mowing down scumbags left and right in the most over-the-top and violent entry into the series, Death Wish 3 from 1985.All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & VHS releases, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, songs about vigilantes, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!LISTEN NOW: MP3 Direct Donloyd Got a movie suggestion for the show, want to give your opinion on a movie we talked about or just want to tell us we suck?

This week, we do three flicks suggested by and voted on by the listeners! First, two slacker friends spend all their time planning for an apocalypse when they're hit with reality in 2011's "Bellflower," directed by, written by and starring Evan Glodell. This flick was shot for a measly $17,000 and has a beautiful and unique look to it. Also, flame throwers and stuff. Next, Jennifer Connelly is a young girl who can telepathically speak to insects. Needless to say, she teams up with Donald Pleasence and a lazer-guided chimp to catch a serial killer in Dario Argento's 1985 flick "Phenomena," aka "Creepers." Finally, Indonesian director Arizal brings us a tale of justice, revenge, explosions and almost being Sylvester Stallone in 1986's "The Stabilizer," released in the US by Troma. All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, brain damage as an accurate metaphor for a break up, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, the craziest deus machina ever, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!

 Grab your shotgun and your chainsaw and take a trip with JFD into a secluded cabin in the woods! With the release of the remake of one of the most beloved cult horror films of all time, we decided to take an in-depth look at the infamous Evil Dead series of films.Up first, we dig into the movie that started it all. You know the plot; five friends travel to a small cabin in the forest, looking for a good time, but when they find a tape recorder and mysterious book in cellar, all hell breaks lose as the young people begin to turn into evil demons and it's up to Bruce Campbell to try and stop it in the 1981 directorial debut of Sam Raimi, The Evil Dead.Next, we head back to the cabin for even more demonic hi-jinx. Bruce Campbell returns as Ash in this sequel/remake, that finds him again at a secluded cabin with his girlfriend. Once again a mysterious book and tape recorder unleash demons from another world that cause a variety of gory and zany things to happen to anyone that happens to stop by, in the horror-comedy classic Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn from 1987.And finally, we head out to the theater to catch the brand new entry under the Evil Dead imprint, the Fede Alvarez directed remake/reboot Evil Dead from 2013. This new version gained a lot of buzz before its release for promising to remain true to the spirit of the original and deliver an onslaught of practical gore effects. Does it live up to the hype? You'll have to tune in to find out.All this plus witty banter between friends, Nerd News, this week's DVD & blu-ray releases, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, songs about trees, stories about Mary Woronov, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, and so much more!  LISTEN NOW: MP3 Direct DonloydGot a movie suggestion for the show, want to give your opinion on a movie we talked about or just want to tell us we suck?

This week, we welcome our new host, Sean, with 3 weirdo flicks! First, Dennis Hopper is a private eye in a (literally) magical '50s Hollywood in "Witch Hunt" from 1994. Paul Schrader (Hardcore, The Canyons) directs this made-for-HBO movie, co-starring Eric Bogosian as a McCarthy-esque senator and Julian Sands as a creepy German or Irish guy or something. Then, abused and forbidden to leave his home, a man-child breaks free, in 1993's "Bad Boy Bubby." Hailed as a (cult) classic of Australian cinema, this dark and experimental film has been frequently recommended by JFD listeners. Finally, two mismatched cops (in the the Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours vein) are on the trail of drug smugglers, in the under-the-radar (in America, anyway) Hong Kong action flick from 1988 "Tiger on the Beat," starring Chow Yun-Fat and Chia Hui Liu (Kill Bill). All this plus witty banter between friends, complete confidentiality, no police involvement, Donald Lloyd of the Junk Food Dinner Warehouse, Junk (voice)Mails, The JFD Grandpa, and so much more!

Since it's a celebration we're skipping Nerd News and DVDs this week so we can share our top 3 and bottom 3 picks of films we covered on the show from this last year. We know you're thinking "Dang!

Well it's our third birthday so naturally we thought it would be fun to take a look at three Part 3's. The catch was we had to have already covered parts 1 and 2.Up first, it's more pillow fights and sleepless nights. After a rousing game of beach volleyball some teens get together to eat dessert and talk about boys, but you can't sleep with the sound of a roaring drill in your ear! It's 1990's SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE III!Next, Donald G. Jackson, Scott Shaw, and some friends got together under and overpass and decides to make another Frogtown movie. It's zen filmmaking and yes you have been reading all of this correctly. Can you believe how long ago we covered HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN? Man, time flies. (Get it?) Anyway, we're talking FROGTOWN 3: THE TOAD WARRIOR.And finally we get all dolled up, just for you guys. Chucky returns with teeth and tenacity and also the ability to mail himself around.

 Boom Shaka Laka! The world's #1 cult movie and basketball podcast finally gets around to covering not one, not two, but THREE basketball-themed horror comedies.Up first, Michael J. Fox is Scott, a teenager going through some changes. But unlike your average pubescent experience, Scott's transformation into manhood is a bit more supernatural. Fortunately, he is able to use his new found powers to dominate on the court, in the 1985 hit comedy Teen Wolf.Then, two goofy aliens steal a doomsday device (shaped like a basketball, of course) and accidentally find themselves on Earth. When the destructive force known as Mr. Armageddon is released from the basketball, he unleashes an army of monsters onto an unsuspecting high school. Now the helpless teens need to take on Mr. Armageddon in a game of hoops to save the world in 1989's Monster High.And finally, a high school basketball equipment manager is trying to make the team while the team's captains are being picked off one by one by a mysterious killer. Meanwhile, famous impressionist Fred Travalena hams it up as multiple characters in the extremely wacky Night of the Dribbler from 1990.All this plus witty banter between friends, soundboard antics, Mark's second to last show, songs about basketball, intense Junk (voice)Mails, DVD & Blu-ray releases, Nerd News and so much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydGot a movie suggestion for the show, want to give your opinion on a movie we talked about or just want to tell us we suck?

Kevin's off this week to hang out at some SXSW thing in Boston, but Mark and Parker hold things down here with the help of friend of the show, Sean Byron and the JFD Grampa. First, a girl's supernatural origins cause death for anyone she sleeps with in 2012's "Video Diary of a Lost Girl." We're joined by the director and writers Lindsay Denniberg and Chris Shields to talk about the film, influences, surrealism, Peter North, the benefits of friends in bands and lots more. Next, a documentary about marathon movie-watching gets derailed by an exhausted, drunken Gavin McInnes in 2010's "A Million in the Morning." Originally meant to be a straight documentary about a Netflix contest to crown a new world record for most movies watched with no sleep, host Gavin McInnes (VICE, Street Carnage) takes the production dangerously off the rails. Finally, a police sting is crashed by ghosts in the 1987 Hong Kong slapstick comedy "Operation Pink Squad 2." Directed by Jeffrey Lau This flick is beyond crazy from start to finish and features non-chalant turd revelations, air humping, remote control helicopter ghost fighters, elves, ghost rape, toe sucking and so much more. You'll get all this, Nerd News, DVDs, good times with good dudes and happiness! Donloyd Here!
