B-movie Mania

What would happen if a bunch of well known actors inexplicably made a TV movie about horny vampires in Hollywood? Well... things would start to suck. (Get it? Suck? Like Vampires? Eh.) Casper Van Dien, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Kim Cattrall, Craig Ferguson and Natasha Lyonne are just some of the stars in Richard Elfman's bonkers 1998 flick, "Modern Vampires", which is also known as "Revenant". Weird title, Richard. Whatever you choose to call it, the Maniacs reviewed it. Tune in and listen as the boys hold 'em down and suck' em dry. You can watch the movie for free on Amazon Prime. 

Paul would love to tell you all about our upcoming episode for "Modern Vampires." Sadly he has a little problem that prevents him from doing that. Two problems to be exact. Fortunately Jason is here to help. Listen to his phone call with Paul as they chat about these issues. You can watch "Modern Vampires", which is actually, technically called "Revenant", for free on Amazon Prime.

YARGH me maniacs! Cap'm Mike takes us on a voyage to meet Captain Z, a 2014 swashbuckling time-travel flick from indie filmmaker Steve Rudzinski. You can watch Captain Z & The Terror of Leviathan on Amazon Prime or Tubi.tv.

Don't let yourself be as confused as the boys are this week, this episode's film, Parasite, is not the Oscar award winner.  This version of Parasite was directed by Charles Band and Mike assures us it shouldn't be allowed anywhere near any sort of prestigious award.  If you'd like to become infected, watch Parasite here on Amazon Prime, then come back and listen to the Maniacs describe how this film is both terrible and yet not that bad at the same time.

The boys are finally back from Tupelo and locked down in quarantine.  The loneliness is beginning to get to Chris, but maybe talking about Charles Band's Parasite will cheer him up.  It's not the Oscar winning Parasite, but you should still watch it here on Amazon Prime.
