49 years ago today, John Waters and his troop of Dreamlanders unleashed what is undoubtedly the filthiest movie in the world. Lead by a legendary star making performance from Divine who proves she will go to lengths unimaginable to achieve the perfect scene. Accompanied by her son Crackers (Danny Mills), glamorous traveling companion Cotton (Mary Vivian Pearce) and her mother The Egg Lady (Edith Massey), Divine will combat her greatest adversaries Raymond and Conny Marble (David Lochary and Mink Stole) in a shocking battle to prove who is truly the filthiest person alive! On its way to becoming one of the biggest midnight movies in history and one of the most memorable of cult films Pink Flamingos would challenge censorship around the globe (and usually losing), but that hasn’t stopped it from triggering, traumatizing, and tickling depraved audiences for nearly half a century, while managing to lose none of its shock value or hilarity over the years.

PsychotroniCast concludes its Seagal Six Series with his best and worst film in the collection. Most people have heard the elevator pitch to Under Siege: Die Hard on a boat. But we at PsychotroniCast believe that it is in fact better than Die Hard. Blasphemy?! Both Seagal and Willis are equal parts douche bag on screen, with the edge going to Bruce for his actual charisma. Even though Alan Rickman created the white collar terrorist archetype as Hans Gruber; Under Siege has Tommy Lee Jones taking over a naval ship in a leather jacket and bandana while simultaneously being the hype man / harmonica player in his blues rock band of terrorists named: Bad Billy and the Bail Jumpers. Oh yeah, Gary Busey is showcased in drag. Give us the U.S.S. Missouri over the Nakatomi Building Plaza any day of the week! PsychotroniCast then closes the door on Segal with his directorial debut (and finale) On Deadly Ground. Even though this film is shittier than then the last 500 yards of Andy Dufresne's escape from Shawshank, it still has it's awesomely bad moments.

PsychotroniCast continues its Seagal Six Series with Jamaican drug dealers invading small town USA followed by a Mafia nomad crackhead reeking havoc in Brooklyn.

Basil Wallace plays the Jamaican drug kingpin Screwface in 1990's Marked for Death while William Forsythe plays possibly one of the most off the rails, evil bastards in movie history (not an overstatement) in 1991's Out for Justice.

Episode 73 (Franco-Files part 1) We begin our look at the films of the incredibly prolific Jesús “Jess” Franco with his 1970 film Eugénie (aka Eugénie de Sade). Taking advantage of the loosening of film censorship at the end of the 60s and coinciding with the termination of his working relationship with producer Harry Alan Towers, which had provided Franco with the biggest budgets and star studded casts of his career, Franco boldly made use of his new freedoms by adapting a segment of the Marquis de Sade’s Crimes of Love, turning sharply away from the mainstream in developing his idiosyncratic style that would be as notable for hypnotic rhythms as much as the abundance of female nudity and subversive sexuality. Starring his spellbinding muse Soledad Miranda and featuring Franco regulars Paul Muller and Alice Arno, Eugénie is a fascinating example of cinematic libertinism, featuring incest, murder and thigh high boots.Help support that pod by going to: https://www.patreon.com/psychotronicast

Ep: 74 (Patreon Simulcast) Us

Episode 81 (Yuppie Nightmares) This week Alec and Derek watch Martin  Scorsese’s Kafkaesque 1985 masterpiece After Hours. A long night begins  for bored word processor Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) after meeting the  attractive Marcy (Rosanna Arquette) in an uptown cafe, and is invited to  spend the night with her at artist friend Kiki Bridges’ SoHo loft. But  instead of the one night stand Paul was hoping for, fate sticks out a  foot sending our midtown interloper into the chaotic late night world  below Houston, where to quote the great Dick Miller “Different rules  apply”, and where every character Paul encounters including the various  artists, waitresses, cab drivers, punks, ice cream truck drivers, park  cruisers, and burglars (featuring Teri Garr, Catherine O’Hara, John  Heard, Verna Bloom, as well as Cheech and Chong) threaten his sanity as  well as his life. Will Paul ever make it home, will he escape the angry  mob and live to see the dawn, and will he ever get that plaster of Paris  bagel and cream cheese paperweight? Stay up and find out.

Burt Reynolds

Episode 89: Burt Reynolds Bootleg Double FeatureThis week, we pay our respects to the stud of 70’s car chase movies Burt Reynolds with two of his most entertaining roles as bootleggers leaving the law in his dust in the hit films White Lightning and Smokey and the Bandit. First up we see the more dramatic performance as the sweat-drenched underdog Robert “Gator” McKlusky a convicted Arkansas bootlegger who is released from prison to assist the feds in taking down the corrupt Sherrif J.C. Connors (Reynolds Deliverance co-star Ned Beatty), who is responsible for the murder of his younger brother. Next up Burt is driving “Eastbound and Down” as the devilishly charming Bo “Bandit” Darville, running blocker in a candy red Trans Am to distract the police from a truck filled with 400 cases of bootleg Coors from Texas racing its way to Georgia in 28 hours. Along the way Bandit picks up sexy runaway bride Carrie (Sally Field) and attracts the attention of the blustery Sherrif Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason). The result is one of the infectiously crowd pleasing films of the 1970’s. So crack open a cold one and 10-41 to Psychotronicast!Three ways to support this podcast:1.

Chang Cheh

Episode 84 (Chang Cheh: Grandmaster part 2) Continuing our trip through Chang Cheh’s career at the Shaw Brothers studio, Alec and Derek watch a trio of triad gangster films starring Kung fu stars David Chiang, Ti Lung and Chen Kuan-tai, beginning with 1970 film Vengeance a stylish and brutal revenge tale reminiscent of John Boorman’s neo-noir Point Blank. David Chiang plays Guan Xiao Lou a man with a single minded drive to avenge the people responsible for killing his brother and Peking Opera dance partner Ti Lung. Next up The Duel sees Ti Lung and David Chiang face off in a series of crosses and double crosses setting up a number of unhinged fight scenes that clearly foreshadow the mayhem of The Crazy 88. Concluding this episode with The Boxer from Shantung starring Kung Fu legend Chen Kuan-Tai in his first leading role as Ma Yongzhen a lowly laborer who climbs his way up the ranks from the gutter to triad gang leader only to be met with increasing bloodshed ending in one of the most spectacularly relentless battles in film history.Three ways to support this podcast:1.

Episode 85 (Chang Cheh Grandmaster part 3) This week the guys check out a couple of Shaw Brothers classics that would each kickstart their own Kung fu franchises. Adapting Louis Cha’s popular Condor Trilogy novels Chang Cheh and his newest protégé superstar Alexander Fu Sheng delivered The Brave Archer an action classic that seems to pack in everyone and everything that could possibly fit into its 2 hour run time with the notable exception of actual archery! Second up is the film that he is probably the most remembered for in the west, the wildly popular 5 Venoms (aka 5 Deadly Venoms) featuring a group of wildly costumed Peking Opera alumni collectively known as The Venom Mob that would blast their way into a series of deliriously entertaining films that continue to amaze for their guignol laced violence as much as their jaw dropping choreography.Three ways to support this podcast: 1.
