    So tonight it's time for another classic...

    Brian Bosworth's STONE COLD!

    Just look at this hilarious trailer:



    Joe Huff is a tough, go-it-alone cop with a flair for infiltrating dangerous biker gangs. The FBI blackmail Joe into an undercover operation to convict some extremely violent bikers, who are angry at the capture of their leader.

    Fascist-on-fascist ultraviolence! Bikes! Biceps! One-liners!

    Be there!

    I realize it's the convention for italics but I can only imagine "Joe" being pronounced like "Mr. Black" in that description.

    WHAT?! ONE MONTH WITHOUT JCCWM?!

    Tomorrow night please join us in watching the masterpiece of that Cannon Films mainstaple called Albert Pyun, of Van Damme's Cyborg and (the other) Captain America fame.

    NEMESIS!!!

    Alex, a burned out LA cyborg cop, is forced by commissioner Farnsworth to find his former cyborg partner and lover Jared who's about to deliver sensitive data to cyborg terrorists who wish to wage war against humans. Is he being played?



    What? Cyborgs?! It had been a while!

    I saw this a couple of years after it came out and I remember a few ludicrous firefights and crazy stunts, which is all you can ask from a Cannon-style action movie. The trailer seems to match my memories from 25 years ago. Come join us tomorrow and see if they actually do!

    Pyun is one of those director that has been called "the new Ed Wood" but I feel like, in our post-Room world, that doesn't hold any water. Not that it did when Bruno Mattei was still alive, either.

    And now for story time: when I was a teen, there was a "Sunday night movie" in the Spanish version of Tele 5 (you know, Silvio Berlusconi's TV station), right after the "Sunday night series" (for many years, The X-Files). Sunday night movies were chosen among the worst of the worst, with a focus on terrible action sci-fi: that's where I saw things like American Ninja, Cyber Tracker, Class of 1999 or--of course--Nemesis. My friends and I would watch them in our houses and then rip them to pieces the following day. To this day I call the girl from Nemesis "the elf" because of our high school riffs. It was as fundamental for my bad movie formation as my neighborhood's seedy video club had been a few years before.

    I'm so old.

    So this week I was planning to watch one of the several movies suggested in-thread, but it looks like YouTube has been busy deleting horrible videos from their service. Probably another sequel of the Logan Paul business!

    So I rolled in the roulette and got...

    2020 TEXAS GLADIATORS!

    Oh god, a Joe D'Amato film. What have we done to deserve this?

    The year is 2020 and the setting is post-nuclear holocaust Texas. It's a dusty, nasty world now as can be seen in the opening scenes when a gang of outlaws rape and murder innocent nuns at a mission. They then crucify the priest. Their debauched reveling is interrupted by roving rangers who engage the villains in a blood-soaked, bone crunching fight. The rangers manage to save a terrified young woman from the melee, and the heroic leader and she fall in love and head for the peaceful land she describes to him. Years pass. The hero and the girl are married and she is pregnant. Trouble erupts when a megalomaniacal Neo-Nazi dictator and his cruel minions attack the heavily fortified refinery and begin trying to convert the hapless workers to his insane idea of the New Order.

    Oh so it's a documentary about modern-day Texas! Cool!



    Be there! Saturday night, 10-11p East!

    It's a super awful quality version, but that probably enhances the experience.
