Film Junk Podcast

Eat your heart out Hulk Hogan, it's the 40th anniversary of Rad and we're ready to revisit this slightly under the radar '80s gem. Cru and his BMX crew fight the good fight against the evil forces of Mongoose before facing the death defying Helltrack... I mean, Hecktrack. Which members of the Film Junk crew were BMX heads as kids? Did Hal Needham and his stunt team elevate this movie way beyond what it deserved? Why was the actress who played Katie erased from film history? Could $100,000 buy two houses based on 1986 gas prices? Go balls out on this week's episode of the Film Junk Podcast.

There can only be one, or in this case, one plus several sequels, two TV shows and an upcoming modern reboot. Highlander remains a beloved and iconic 80s action movie, and it’s about time Film Junk explored what it means to live forever. Is immortality a gift or a curse? Is The Prize a gift or a curse? What is The Quickening? Do the rules of this world make any sense? Would every movie be better with a soundtrack by Queen? Don't lose your head... Film Junk faces such savage questions with heart, faith and steel on this week's podcast.

The sun is dying and Ryan Gosling is the only one who can save us. After a few close calls and a close encounter, he’s going to science the shit out of the situation. But is this hero’s journey a new masterpiece or is it just space junk? Why is Reed Farrington using a translator app to watch this movie? Does humanity have a future beyond the stars? Fist my bump and prepare to be amaze on the latest episode of Film Junk.

Hey there double ugly, it's time for one of the wildest movies we've ever reviewed here on Film Junk. John De Hart's Champagne and Bullets (aka Geteven aka Road to Revenge) is an indie film and vanity project that will challenge your very perception of what cinema can be. It's the buddy cop softcore satanic cult action thriller you didn't know you needed in your life. But is John De Hart a creative visionary or just a guy trying to make out with a Playboy model in a hot tub? How many people in this movie are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol? Can movies be so bad they're good or does that just make them good? Not a problem... we're ready to do the shimmy slide on this week's podcast.

The Film Junk Podcast is a goddamn miracle of modern science and this week we're taking a look at another (indisputable?) all-time classic. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has won its fair share of awards over the years but it's time for a modern diagnosis. Is Nurse Ratched one of the most chilling villains ever put on screen or does she actually seem kinda reasonable? Is this a career-best performance for Jack Nicholson? How do we feel about the portrayal of mental illness in the movie? It makes us feel very... peculiar. We're talking about form, content, interrelationships and so much more on this week's podcast.
