Revenge of the Drive-In

Season 4 Awards/Recap

Jim struggles with alphabetical order as we hold our awards ceremony to honor the best in kills, acting, etc. 

Across 110th Street (1972) and Branded to Kill (1967)

Jim and Patrick pick their movies this time, and Patrick picks a blaxploitation classic starring Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto, while Jim picks a cult Japanese yakuza film in Branded to Kill.

Jurassic Park III (2001) and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. This is our patrons' pick episode, where we tackle a couple of inferior sequels to excellent films. 

Escape from New York (1981) and Sin City (2005)

Join Jim and Patrick on a harrowing journey into a Manhattan that's been converted to a prison, and then visit a few prostitutes in Frank Miller's Sin City 

Police Story (1985) and Sukiyaki Western Django (2007)

In an Asian action double feature, Jim and Patrick marvel at Jackie Chan's death defying stunts and disagree over the merits of Takashi Miike's spaghetti western homage. For more, check out our Patreon!

Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Night Killer (1990)

Zombies! Italians! A Freddy Krueger-like killer that punches a rubber glove clean through women's torsos! Drunk drivers sneaking into bathrooms to stalk women! All these things (and many more) are featured in our episode on George A. Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead and the Claudio Fragasso/Bruno Mattei schlockfest Night Killer. 

Sonatine (1993) and Splitz (1982)

Jim and Patrick discuss Takeshi Kitano's existential yakuza drama Sonatine, as well as a sex comedy that might generously be considered "odd." 

The Thing from Another World (1951) and Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)

Patrick is joined by Godzilla expert Sean to discuss two very different but still memorable sci-fi monster movies. It's Howard Hawks, it's the original clout chaser Nick Adams (not to be confused with Ernest Hemingway's short story protagonist), it's Godzilla, it's Ghidorah (spoilers), it's Rodan, and it's a vegetable monster that requires blood to survive. It's The Thing from Another World and Invasion of Astro Monster aka Godzilla vs. Monster Zero!
