Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest Andrew Jupin (of We Hate Movies) discuss some 80s cult horror trash with a double feature of the dirty NYC creature b-movie C.H.U.D.

275 - C.H.U.D. (1984) + C.H.U.D. II: BUD THE C.H.U.D. (1989) ft. Andrew Jupin

The calendar may have already flipped to November but Marty Month continues as we fittingly go into overtime with 1985's After Hours, directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Joseph Minion, and starring Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Verna Bloom, John Heard, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. It's a rare straight-up comedy from Marty, an anxious nightmare of a movie that takes place on one wild night in the streets of New York City, and it's Justin's nomination to the ADHD-DVD canon to close out a month long celebration of Scorsese cinema.

Other works discussed in this episode include Cape Fear, The Last Waltz, Talk To Me, Trick 'r Treat, and the Final Destination franchise, while we're hyper-fixating on cursed micro-playlists and even more cursed interactions at the gas station.

If you'd like to watch the movie ahead of our discussion, it is sadly not available for streaming in Canada at the time of publication, but is rentable for $5 through YouTube, Amazon and Cineplex.

We'll be back next week to kick off our latest theme month, Dante's In Fer November: a three-week sprint through the works of Joe Dante that begins next Friday when Matt Pollock joins us to talk Tom Hanks in The 'Burbs!

ADHD-DVD - 34 - After Hours

We're back with a BANG! with Martin Scorsese's 1985 classic "After Hours" because we all think that Griffin Dunne is "the world's biggest cutie-pie". It's our first episode of Chain Reaction: Open Season, which means we can go absolutely anywhere! We hope you'll join us.

Welcome fellow SLEAZOIDS!!! Come along as hosts Josh Lewis and Jamie Miller (and, occasionally, guests) go down the rabbit hole of 20th century genre fare from the most influential canon classics to the the trashiest exploitation films we can get our hands on. Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.

Three friends agree to watch every episode and movie of the television hit Hart to Hart to determine once and for all if Hart to Hart is a good show. Join Ellen Ito (the devoted lover) Erik Blood (the nostalgic acquaintance) and Joe Garber (the dubious virgin) on a journey filled with fabulous fashions, furious fistfights, and of course MURDER!
