State of the Podcast Address

The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast is in the process of moving to a new hosting service, one that can handle the kind of traffic that we attract. This process is going to be a bit painful and will take a while to complete. I have to re-upload all of the episodes to Libsyn, and there are limits on the number of files I can upload per month. Until the switch-over is complete, there will be a lot of broken links, and the Archives page will be disabled. Some of the podcasts will still be available for download through the updated RSS feed, but some will give 404 File Not Found errors.

UPDATE: The Archives are now arranged alphabetically and feature all of the episodes that are currently uploaded and working. All links in the WordPress weblog postings are still broken.

We will have everything up eventually, and we’ll still be trying to update with new content during the process. We appreciate your patience during this difficult move.

Sincerely,

-Gooberzilla and the GME! Podcast Crew

Sho Kosugi, You Are Not James Bond.

Break out those exploding shurikens, because Rage of Honor is (definitely not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download the review.

Review in a Nutshell: Crippled by terrible camera-work and Sho Kosugi’s broken Engrish, Rage of Honor is not an ideal ninja movie. Still, we at the Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast are thankful for ninja movies in general.

This movie contains:

FALSE ADVERTISING!

Sho Kosugi, Gentleman Spy.

Camo-Pajama Jesus Ninjas.

Nap-Time for Monsters

Break out the bibs and butter, because Godzilla vs the Sea Monster is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download the review.

Review in a Nutshell: Godzilla hackey-sacks with a giant shrimp. What more do you want?

This movie contains:

You don’t have to be evil to sport an eyepatch, but it helps.

JUMBO SHRIMP!

Is that Godzilla, or a Stoned Cookie Monster?

ERRATA: “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” was actually released in 1969, so Godzilla vs the Sea Monster was actually blazing trails.

It Only Hurts the First Time.

Conga to the beat of the steel-drums, mon, because Weekend at Bernies II is the Greatest (Worst) Movie EVER!

Click the poster or the movie title to download the review.

Review in a Nutshell: Remember Nietzsche? That whole gazing into the Abyss, the Abyss gazes into you thing? He was talking about this movie.

This movie contains:

Bernie.

Voodoo Mind Control.

We completely neglected to mention Barry Bostwick.

She’s got the Look.

Pack up your sleeping bags, because Sleepaway Camp is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Luke “The Sasquatch” White is our guest camp-counselor on this slice of summer camp horror. Please click the poster or the movie title to download the review.

Review in a Nutshell: Thanks to clever directing and several symbolic artistic flourishes, Sleepaway Camp remains a shocking experience more than a quarter-century after its initial release. It’s a rare example of a horror movie with a disturbing exploration of a theme.

This movie contains:

The Look.

Burn Work.

The Arrow Gag.

GRAAAARGHR!

COMING SOON!

Our Secret Halloween Theme concludes with the most horrifying zombie movie ever made.

“Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground…Democrat?”

Get out the Geiger counter, because C.H.U.D. is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: A cheesy horror film from the early eighties, C.H.U.D. succeeds thanks to solid performances from the cast, strong editing, and a psychologically-oppressive atmosphere. The rubber monster suits help, too.

This movie contains:

Crazy Homeless People.

Grumpy Frumpy Face.

The mutation makes your eyes all glowy…

FINAL THOUGHT!

Producer Andrew Bonime’s response to the C.H.U.D. DVD commentary can be found here.

The D is Silent.

Drag out your coffin, because Django is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: A morally ambiguous spaghetti-western, Django has been hugely influential on the genre. Its grim setting and spontaneous bursts of violence are still entertaining despite decades of imitators cribbing from the film.

Mom Chooses Mexico

Strap on your sandals, because Conan the Destroyer is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: It may not have James Earl Jones, but it has Grace Jones, and I think that more than makes up for it, thank you very much.

This movie contains:

Ahnold’s Hypno-Face.

Constipated Wizards.

Grace Jones being Crazy.

GORILLA WIZARD GHOSTS.

Addendum: Scouring the Internet has uncovered this picture, evidence that suggests that Andre the Giant was in the fact the man in the Dagoth suit.

“Why does Zeus Need a Nightclub?”

Bringing new meanings to the term “divine punishment”, Xanadu is definitely not the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: This movie is painful. Watch it at your own peril.

The film contains:

Electric Neon Greek Minor Deities.

Gene Kelly on Rollerskates.

Uhh…

Hey, it was the Eighties.

Square Pigs and Sexy Robots

Turn on your magnetic boots, because Space Truckers is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: Due to contributions from people as varied as Stuart Gordon and Hajime Sorayama, Space Truckers is light-years better than any low-budget, science-fiction adventure film has any right to be. Its attention to detail and sardonic sense of humor make it a treat to watch.

This movie contains:

Square Pigs.

Pink Overalls.

Vernon Wells, Space Privateer.

The latest advancements in cybernetic male-enhancement technology.

Post Script:

This is what the good poster for Space Truckers looks like.
