Defending Jaws 4: The Revenge!

Published July 19, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

jaws-the-revenge
Frequently, I have been referred to as all wet! While this may certainly be true in some cases, it does not apply when considering the fact that I believe the widely reviled Jaws 4: The Revenge is actually a pretty fun, vaguely feminist romp.

Recently, the distinguished gents of Astro Radio Z (including jocular host Derrick Carey) took a moment to examine their favorite films (including such titles as Firewalker, Staying Alive and Megaforce) that, currently, have a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

You can hear all about them and discover why I think Jaws 4: The Revenge is a perfect 50% at the link, below:

Astro Radio Z: The Last of Witchcraft!

Published June 25, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

witchcraft
So, this is just like the time I went out with the drooling maniac that my mother (the lesbian prostitute nun) wanted to marry. Even though she didn’t realize it at the time, I was doing her a favor.

Likewise, the charming gents of the amazing podcast Astro Radio Z and myself have taken a bullet for all cinematic voyeurs out there by diving into the entire Witchcraft series! Yes, watching the oftentimes unbelievably boring entries in this soft core horror enterprise was both a horror and a joy – something we all point out in this the (gasp!) final episode covering the last two (ahem!) films in the series.

So, dive in – and if you find that you need a warlock to help pull you out of the mucky abyss – please DON’T call someone named Will Spanner!

Kelli Maroney Talks!

Published June 23, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

She’s overpowered tiny yet vicious rolling robots, post apocalyptic zombies and a murder happy madman or two – now eclectic genre actress Kelli Maroney is taking over the airwaves.

Along with Rick Farmiloe, Amanda Raymond and Jerry McCarty, Maroney (Chopping Mall, Zero Boys, Night of the Comet) is one of the co-hosts of the truly fun podcast, Rick’s Martini Bar. The show’s most recent guest is the (pictured) legendary Chuck McCann (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Cameron’s Closet), but you can catch up with previous episodes featuring folks like Maroney’s CM co-star Tony O’Dell and former drive-in cutie Kristine DeBell (Meatballs, Cheerleaders Wild Weekend) at the link below, as well!

Film Jerks Join the Strange Circus!

Published May 19, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

StrangeCircus1
For those of you who think there is nothing worse than a insidiously preying stranger – director Shion Sono reverses that trend, proving nothing is quite as wrong as keeping it all in the family with his bizarre, color strewn 2005 epic Strange Circus.

This tale of incest, body modification and a chubby Asian drag queen named Sad Song was recently given the Film Jerks! podcast overview by extremely awesome host Derrick Carey, myself and a bunch of other truly joyful filmmaking masochists.strange-circus-puppy

Check it here – but leave that hungry puppy at home, son!

Astro Radio Z: Witchcraft 9 – 11

Published April 19, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

"Hey guys! I've got some toilet paper clutched between my palms!" Stephanie Beaton and crew facing down the horrors of the Witchcrap -- Witchcraft series!

“Hey guys! I’ve got some toilet paper clutched between my palms!” Stephanie Beaton and crew facing down the horrors of the Witchcrap — Witchcraft series!


Getting beaten down is not a good thing…watching scream queen Stephanie Beaton in a trio of Witchcraft films on the other hand…

Well, honestly, that might be pretty bad, too. But the boys of Astro Radio Z and myself are committed to watching all of this (often really horrible) T and A laced horror series…just so you don’t have to.

The latest episode, focusing on Witchcraft 9 – 11 (which, for some unknown reason, have been my favorite of the series), has dropped. So, if you need something to distract you while undergoing that latest lumbar puncture…this just might be the thing!

P.S.: Just so there is no misunderstanding, I really do love the divine Ms. Beaton with all of my femme freak, horror loving heart!

Film Jerks!: Tony

Published March 27, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

tony

Where I grew up tony always referred to someone with money…or a tiger.

For British director Gerard Johnson the meaning is a bit more deadly, though, as evidenced by his concise 2009 murderous treatise, Tony: London Serial Killer.

Recently, the Film Jerks!, courtesy of head commando, Derrick Carey, explored this dark gem.

So, join Carey, filmmakers Jason Zuleger, Glenn Buettner, Mark Krawczyk and myself as we navigate the critical confines of a tentative yet truly twisted mind:

Astro Radio Z: Witchcraft 5 – 8

Published March 18, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

witchcraft series

“And I’ve got no defense for it.
The heat is too intense for it.
What good would common sense for it do?

…’cause it’s witchcraft, wicked witchcraft” – Coleman, Leigh

Recording artists like Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee may have thought they understood the supernatural arts when caressing their vocal cords along Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh’s classic tune Witchcraft. But if they never watched one of the 90s B Movie films baring that name, then they actually knew nothing of the tormented, tedious joy that the guys of Astro Radio Z (including host/founder Derrick Carey, Mark Krawczyk, Glenn Randall Buettner and myself) have experienced in our cape shrouded viewing journeys.

Yes, this time we wicked cinephiles endured the vampiric, long lasting effects of Witchcraft 5–8.

Whether you find us masters of insanity or just plain crazy, you might enjoy the results below:

Horror Addicts: Wicked Women 2014 Contest

Published March 7, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

horror addicts
Having been brought up by a coven of lesbian prostitute nuns, I know there is nothing more evil than a creative goddess in her prime.

Amazing horror site Horror Addicts must agree with me – hence their awesome Wicked Women contest for 2014.

Below, are the details, lifted straight from their site.

“2014 Theme: Beauty & the Beast

Premise: There is something both fearsome and attractive in a wild thing, be it man or beast. From creature legends told around ancient campfires, to modern tales of King Kong and crypto zoology, critters have always captured our darkest imagination. Get your Beast on.

Challenge: Create a 10 minute horror podcast that contains four story elements, plus your written story. Registration closes 4-13-14. Audio and text are due on 5-13-14.

Story Elements: Each of our Wicked Belles will be assigned a location, a blessing, a curse … and a Beast. Your story must include a lady in peril and these four elements:

Location: Anywhere in the world is fair game. A private zoo? A Japanese Nightclub? Kindergarten Show ‘N’ Tell? You are the game. We’ll give you the board.

Blessing: A helpful item to tame the danger in your tale. We couldn’t have you stalked by a Werewolf without at least giving you a silver locket to melt down. Use your item wisely, Wicked. Even a trivial thing can save your life.

Curse: An untimely disability. You can’t skip through this one without feeling a bite of a fang on your ass. The Norns can be quite evil with this element.

Beast: Beasts will be drawn from the 12 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, or Pig. The Beast may be a main character in your story, or may be represented in other creative ways… a tattoo? An advertising logo? A supernatural brute? Freak of nature? You name it, as long as you include it. Any genre of horror is welcome, but this ain’t Lassie, my Wickeds. Not unless she rips out your throat!

Dates to Remember:
Contest Opens – March 4, 2014
Registration Closes – April 13, 2014
Audio & Text Due – May 13, 2014
Elimination Round to 5 Wickeds – May 24, 2014
Voting Begins June 13, 2014
Voting Ends July 28, 2014
2014 Winner Announced August 23, 2014

WARNING: The Norns are majorly p.m.s.ing this year. This challenge involves shotgun-quick writing & recording skills. The squeamish need not apply!

If you would like to compete, send an e-mail to: Horroraddicts@gmail.com –We’ll send you the complete set of rules and assign your story elements. Remember, the sooner you respond, the more time you’ll have to write and produce your podcast.”

Now, get cracking all my lovely (and amazingly talented) femmes of fear!

Astro Radio Z: Argento’s Dracula!

Published February 18, 2014 by biggayhorrorfan

dracula
Sometimes, there is nothing that makes me happier than a bag of red licorice, the company of my vintage Suzanne Somers action figure and the soundtrack of Love At First Bite on my stereo!

But usually I am most pleased when I get to talk cheesy horror flicks with upstanding terror stalkers like Derrick Carey (Swamphead, Hole in the Wall), Cory J. Udler (Incest Death Squad series, Mediatrix) and acclaimed genre journalist Seth Poulin.

Here, we four talk, on the Carrey hosted podcast Astro Radio Z, about Dario Argento’s wildly dismissed Dracula and about the current state of this master of horror and his ilk.

Not surprisingly, perhaps, we all kind of dug this one. Find out why at:
