Missing Real with Mike D'ArrigoAuthor: Mike D'Arrigo
Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well off never knowing at all, at least until hearing just how enjoyably awful they are, so plug in those earbuds or don your expensive blingy Beats, and let's take a trip to the movies!

Movie buffs everywhere should remember the great Tobe Hooper, who terrified audiences everywhere from Texas to Salem's Lot. Even a television set became spooky if it wasn't tuned into a channel. This underappreciated 1985 flick I'm talking about this time features some more vampires, but they suck in a different way. They're from space! And one of them is a beautiful and quite often naked young lass. They want to drain humankind of its collective energy, so if you're feeling tired, lazy, lethargic...this podcast will spark some life back into you! Did I mention it also features Patrick Stewart? A couple of years before he took the Captain's chair as Jean-Luc Picard, he was in this. Don't tell Starfleet Command. So, if you love mid-1980's special effects, zombie vampire chaos and boobs, this is your ticket to cinematic paradise, my friends!
