JFD704: Maniac, Alone in the Dark, Idle Hands
2026/10/19
It's Schlocktober, creeps! Everyone's favorite time of year. To get into the spooky spirit, we're taking a look at three killer flicks! Up first, Joe Spinell plays a vicious serial killer to creepy perfection on the streets of grimey early 80's New York City in William Lustig's Maniac from 1980. Next Jack Palance and Martin Landau play a couple of dangerous lunatics who escape a mental facility run by Donald Pleasence during a power outage in order to stalk one of their psychiatrists and his family in Alone in the Dark from 1982. And finally, Devon Sawa plays a high school stoner whose hand becomes posessed by a demon and is committing murders against his will. But with the help of his undead buddies (Seth Green and Elden Henson), his love interest (Jessica Alba) and a demon hunter (Vivica A. Fox) he may just save the day in Idle Hands from 1999. All this plus You Can See Everything chat, The Devils back in theaters, Halloween viewing, French grandpa horror, the future of Daddy Boyle's zombie franchise and so much more.

JFD703: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Rhinestone, Dolly Dearest
2026/09/25
This month on Junk Food Dinner, we pay homage to the late, great Dolly Parton by taking a look at two of her films and one film that has her first name in the title. Up first, Dolly is the head madam at an iconic brothel in the Lone Star State and is having a romantic affair with the local sheriff (Burt Reynolds). All is god until an investigative reporter (Dom DeLuise) threatens to expose their operation in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas from 1982. Then, Dolly bets her career (and her ass) that she can turn anyone into a country singer, even a New York City cab driver (Sylvester Stallone) in Rhinestone from 1984, directed by Bob Clark. And finally, when a family buys a doll factory in Mexico, they get more than they bargained for when one of the dolls is possessed by ancient Mayan demon spirits in Dolly Dearest from 1991. All this plus Parker's adventures in Alaska, how to get the most out of your theater-going experience, the return of the Crypt Keeper, horror movies in the theater for October, sci-fi blu-rays and so much more!
