A Thief In the Night, A Distant Thunder, Image of the Beast and Prodigal Planet. These movies frightened me as a child and I'm ready to use you for therapy. This episode is filled with songs, long screaming moments and Art Bell samples. Hopefully, Blondie, Ministry and Lil' Markie don't take this down.

Two tastes that you never knew never went together. It's my favorite ape movie, Beneath the Planet of the Apes and Operation Kid Brother. Get ready for everyone to die, including the entire planet, and Sean Connery to get upset.

Welcome to a new feature on the podcast, where I'll have guests come on and defend movies they love, particularly ones that aren't well-loved.
When you hear Celeste de la Cabra, you should expect to learn something. I'll let her explain herself: "I'm a leftist, an anti-fascist, an ethical vegan, non-binary, queer, and an atheist. Stating this up front is important because these things are important to me and will naturally inform my biases and analyses. I'm not interested in pretending to be neutral on social issues or politics. I approach every film I watch as a piece of art, rather than just content or entertainment, and I aim to encourage others to do the same."
You can find more about her on YouTube, Patreon, Letterboxd and TikTok.
This episode, Celeste and I discuss Trog, a movie that many look down on. I was honored to have her on as my first guest and look forward to return appearances.

Yes, everyone can talk about All the Colors of the Dark and Torso, but let's get deep into Sergio Martino with four of my favorite weird picks from him.
Uppercut Man finds Sergio in Miami, making a boxing movie that isn't like any other. Ernest Borgnine, Daniel Greene, Mary Stavin, Giuliano Gemma...Crud Buddies have this posted on YouTube.
American Rickshaw is the most perfect of all late Martino movies: shower sex with the jeans on, rickshaws in Miami, Donald Pleasence as a faith healing warthog...get it from Cauldron Video.
Graffiante desiderio has Sergio going back to the Giallo but also incest and a dummy drop ending. Craving Desire is hard to find but if you're ready to infest your computer with viruses, go here.
Un orso chiamato Arturo has George Segal and Carol Alt. Yes, in a Sergio Martino movie. It's on YouTube in Italian, so learn a new language.
Is there a secret prize for finishing this episode? Did I compose a song for it? What are you waiting for? Go listen!

For the hundredth episode, I had to think: what is my favorite movie, really? And the answer, as always, is Flash Gordon. He's just a man, with a man's courage. You know how it is.
