Have You Seen This One?

Welcome to Episode #125, our first CINEMA TORTURE SMACKDOWN!!! Keith and I each picked a movie that we thought would be pure punishment for the other to watch. Who will decide which movie is worse? Well, this time around it’s none other than our good friend Shawna West!

First up for consideration is my choice, 1957’s Plan 9 From Outer Space, directed by Edward D. Wood. the film stars movie hostess Vampira, wrestler Tor Johnson, “psychic” Criswell, and Bela Lugosi…

Second up is Keith’s choice for me (and Shawna), 2014’s Saving Christmas, aka Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, starring, uh, Kirk Cameron…

Along with our movie battle, we announce my friend Scott McBee’s Top 5 Movies Of All Time! We also announce the titles of the movies some friends have labeled The Worst Movie Of All Time.

As far as which of these two movies Shawna chose as the worst torture, you’re going to have to listen in to find out! We really hope you join us for our movie battle, because we really do want to know…

SINK THAT BALL, HYSTOphiles! (Wait. Was that the correct sports reference? I never know…) 

Hello, and welcome to Episode #123, where we discuss the baseball film…no, wait, basketball film Hoosiers, starring Gene Hackman, Barbara Hershey, and, in the only Academy Award nominated performance of his career, Dennis Hopper!

Now, this is a film that I have heard a great deal about but, obviously, have never seen. While I famously don’t like movies about sports, I was happy to hear that Barbara Hershey was in it.

Set in the 50’s, this movie is supposed to be based on a true story. Uh huh. Heard that one before. I also heard that Mr. Gene Hackman thought this movie would be a bomb…

As usual we also discuss what has been entertaining us lately, and our good friend Knives Monroe shares his Top 5 Movies Of All Time!

We really hope you join our movie party, because we really do want to know…
