Dear Maniacs, We need your help! Our normal teaser episode has been taken over by murderous tyrant and dictator, Doctor Victor von Doom. Comic book fans might know him as the main villain from Marvel's Fantastic Four, but he's imprisoned us in his opposite-of-fantastic Latverian dungeons. Except for Paul. He's out on "good behavior," which is probably a euphemism for something I don't want to think about. Anyway, Doom won't release the rest of us unless you listen to his teaser about next week's episode of B-Movie Mania. Excelsior! Watch on YouTube!

Do you like explosions? What about child warriors? If so you're going to love J's pick, Return Fire: Jungle Wolf 2.

There is a ton of action and a whole lot of hand grenades. Haven't seen Jungle Wolf 1? Don't worry about it. Ron Marchini will make sure you're all caught up through the power of flashbacks! You can only see Return Fire: Jungle Wolf 2 at this link on YouTube. The movie never got a DVD release and isn't available on other streaming services. And as promised in the episode, here's Chris's Creep Van video. And fyi, for as many times as Chris says "Creep Van" at least half of them were cut out.

Get ready to howl, Maniacs! In the upcoming episode J brings you Return Fire: Jungle Wolf 2 starring martial arts guru Ron Marchini. Imagine if Neil Breen directed Taken.
