Old Movies For Young Stoners

Halloween is almost upon us so we are talking vampire sex flicks of the 70s with author Anthony Lee Head. Tony's new novel, QUINCEY MORRIS AND THE HUNT FOR DRACULA retells Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale from the POV of the Bowie-knife-wielding Texan who joins Van Helping's hunt for the Transylvanian bloodsucker. So to get you ready for Halloween and celebrate Tony's book, we are pairing pot with with Udo Kier in BLOOD FOR DRACULA aka ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA from 1974, and the hallucinatory weirdness of Hammer's VAMPIRE CIRCUS (1972) featuring David Prowse and Adrienne Corri, both from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, but everyone knows Prowse as Darth Vader. Blood will be drunk and breasts are bared in these 70s flicks that showed vampires as sexy as you always knew they were.

Bob and Tony also talk a little bit about THE SEARCHERS (1956), which is probably long overdue on this podcast, and they do get into some martial arts talk since Tony is Bob's former jiujitsu sensei.

Greg, Cory and Philena are all on assignment, so it's just Bob and Tony talking cowboys and vampires.

Tony's book, BLOODBOUND: QUINCEY MORRIS AND THE HUNT FOR DRACULA is available from Crystal Lake Publishing and you can buy it through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX372R4B?tag=crystallakepu-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=true

Ken Russell's masterpiece of blasphemy THE DEVILS is coming to a multiplex near you on October 15th! Since Warner Bros. in their death throes is re-releasing THE DEVILS with newly added sacrilege, we are re-releasing our segment on THE DEVILS from 2024 with new material. Unlike Warner Clockwork however, we didn't restore anything. Cory's audio is still, well, subpar. (Damned direct boxes!) Cory, Bob and Greg sit down to discuss the shocking reissue and spend a good chunk of the new intro talking about SPACE JAM 2--I mean, SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY, and if LeBron James had a role in slamming THE DEVILS into wide-release. We also rate THE DEVILS and LOS LEPROSOS Y EL SEXO (1970) with https://popcornhighs.com, the movie website for stoners. It's like letterboxd built with Leafly DNA. Check it out.

Co-hosts: Bob Calhoun, Greg Franklin & Cory Sklar

Philena Franklin went back to college

Join us in 2 weeks when Bob sits down with Anthony Lee Head, author of BLOODBOUND: QUINCEY MORRIS AND THE HUNT FOR DRACULA to talk VAMPIRE SEX FIENDS OF THE 1970s with BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) and VAMPIRE CIRCUS (1972). Subscribe so you don't miss it.

The San Francisco Film Preserve is bringing the Re:Vision Film Festival to the Roxie Theater in San Francisco from September 24-27, so we've got a preview of their most bizarre double bill + we're paying tribute to the great Tim Curry with his most punk movie ever.

First, Re:Vision is bringing a restored print of an El Santo sex film to the Roxie with LOS LEPROSOS Y EL SEXO aka LEPERS AND SEX an extreme oddity from 1970 where Calderon Studios took a lucha libre western and added softcore sex scenes to it for International audiences. It's hard to believe that the movie isn't just an urban legend, but an original negative was discovered in the mid-2010s and restored to all its sleazy glory by Cinema Preservation Alliance and Permanencia Voluntaria in 2022. Known without the sex scenes as SANTO VS. THE RIDERS OF TERROR, this version has escaped lepers terrorizing a small town and breaking in on any couples who are getting it on, and only the masked wrestling legend EL SANTO can restore justice and order! Directed by Mexican exploitation maestro René Cardona, who also baffled audiences with SANTA CLAUS (1959), which we featured in last year's Christmas episode.

LOS LEPROSOS Y EL SEXO screens at the Roxie on Saturday, Sept. 29th at 9 p.m. with Pteryphlegia (1986), a sci-fi short from the Netherlands featuring the prog rock sounds of YES, and lucky for you, we have YES obsessive and Greg's cousin Darren Norris to parse all the needle drops. Find out how to buy tickets at the Roxie's website here: https://roxie.com/film/revision-lepers-sex-aka-santo-vs-the-riders-of-terror/

And find out more about the SF Film Preserve and Re:Vision here: https://filmpreserve.org/revision/

And then, the great Tim Curry left us on August 25th, so we're paying tribute to him with TIMES SQUARE, a punk rock drama with a mostly banger soundtrack set in the sleaze of pre-Disneyfied New York in 1980. Robin Johnson and Trini Alvarado are troubled teens who escape from a mental hospital and start a new wave rebellion and Curry is the sleazy DJ who seeks to exploit them. Directed by Allan Moyle (EMPIRE RECORDS) and featuring the music of The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Pretenders, Gary Neuman, The Cars, and Robin Gibb (!). Yes, Robin Gibb. Good thing Cory and Darren can music geek out and make sense of all this. TIMES SQUARE is part of the Criterion Channel's awesome Girl Bands! collection.

Hosts: Cory Sklar, Bob Calhoun, and Darren Norris

Greg Franklin was at a screening of his award-winning animated short THE WHISTLE and Philena went back to college! We'll get her back after finals.

COYOTE VS. ACME has crushed the box office, or at least exceeded expectations, so GREG FRANKLIN returns to the podcast that he co-created to talk LOONEY TUNES with Bob for this special "mini" episode, which turns out to be our second longest episode ever. It is the MY DINNER WITH ANDRE of OMFYS episodes. Just two dudes talking, and talking and talking. But hey, Cory always tells Bob that "people like long podcasts," so here we are.

In a world of super hero fanboys, Greg is a funny animal guy, and he's an award-winning animator and co-founder of Six Point Harness Studios, so you're getting an expert opinion here. In planning this episode, Greg said, "I can Looney Tunes for hours," and he proves it right here with in-depth analysis of the works of Chuck Jones, Bob Clapmpett, Friz Freling, Carl Stalling and Mel Blanc, just to name a few.

Here is a list of the cartoons discussed by Greg and Bob in this epic episode with the Tubi season and episode numbers, so you can find them more easily. Tubi bundles each short into "episodes" consisting of three cartoons, so these might not be the first Looney Tune in each episode, but they're in there... Somewhere.

S09:E07 - The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (1946). Bob Clampett

S01:E04 - The Night of the Living Duck

S07:E15 - The Scarlet Pumpernickel

Associate producer of DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST (1991) and legendary film programmer FLOYD WEBB is back on the podcast with a pair of movies set in Africa, but only one of them is filmed there. It shouldn't be too hard to guess which one.

First, Mory and Anta, a pair of young lovers dream of leaving the dusty streets of Dakar in Senegal for their fantasies of Paris in TOUKI BOUKI (1973). Director Djibril Diop Mambéty's visual masterpiece starts out hyper realistic but becomes more hallucinatory as Mory and Anta plan their escape. Emergency guest host Darren Norris says that it feels like somebody is telling you their dream. The image of Mory and Anta riding on a motorcycle with a zebu steer skull attached to the handlebars was recreated by Beyoncé and Jay-Z to promote their 2018 world tour and the movie was named the 66th greatest film of all time on Sight and Sound's Critic's Poll in 2022. Streaming on Criterion and HBOMax.

Then Richard Widmark is a Viking conman and Sidney Poitier is a Moorish King and their both after "The Mother of All Voices," a bell made with half of the gold in all the world, in THE LONG SHIPS (1964), an historical epic that's a little heavy on the cheese while being groundbreaking in actually having a Black person portray the ruler of an empire. Directed by Jack Cardiff, the master of Technicolor who was the director of photography of Powell and Pressberger's visual feasts THE RED SHOES (1948), A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (46), and BLACK NARCISSUS (47) along with John Huston's THE AFRICAN QUEEN (51). Hey, he also shot Rambo and Conan sequels in the 80s. Also starring Russ Tamblyn in Viking hotpants and Rosanna Schiaffino in the outfit that inspired Princess Leia's geddup from RETURN OF THE JEDI. Streaming on tubi.

Philena couldn't make it becasue she can't deal with the animal snuff no matter how artfully filmed the graphic slaughter of goats and steers may be, and her dad Greg is on assignment, but so they sent their cousin DARREN NORRIS from the CULTURAL FUTURES EXCHANGE podcast as an emergency guest host! Thanks Darren! CULTURAL FUTURES EXCHANGE does deep dives into pop culture artifacts. Darren and his co-host Jeff recently did a two part episode on the PHANTASM film series that you can listen to pay tribute to REGGIE BANNISTER, everyone's favorite undead-fighting icecream man from all five Phantasm films. Reggie, RIP.
