The Treasure of the Severest Padre

Director Sam Peckinpah (Straw Dogs) makes the most unusual baby shower request in cinema history with his gritty 1974 revenge flick Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia. Can retired GI Warren Oates (Wild Bunch) beat the toughest bounty hunters in Mexico to the secret location of a lothario who ran out on a crime boss’ pregnant daughter? And will that decapitation reward money buy this downtrodden American a better life, or just get blown on more booze and bordellos? Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob bring you the ugly truth when you become a June Patron.

The Cane Mutiny

Stephen King turned ABC-TV into the Weather Channel with his three-night prime-time event: Storm of the Century. But record snowfall and gale-force winds are just a tempest in a teapot compared to the destruction caused by Colm Feore (Thor) upon arrival on a quaint Maine island. Can Tim Daly stop the future Frost Giant from terrorizing his community with more success than Wings co-star Steven Weber, who played Jack Torrence in the network’s previous King miniseries The Shining? Listen Now as Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart give you what you want!

What happens when our aspiring star tries to shoot an amateur porno at a Texas farm without the Bible-thumping landowners finding out?

A Tree Grows On Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan retires from James Bond duties to write books for Stephen King in the 2011 cable miniseries Bag of Bones. But is the ghost haunting his New England cottage his recently killed wife (Haunting of Hill House’s Annabeth Gish), or a blues singer (Dreamgirls’ Anika Noni Rose) still cursing locals for wrongs received back in the 1930s? And does Mick Garris (The Stand) have anything in his bag of directing tricks to help this quiet story of grief and writer’s block take root as a TV ratings event? Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart spell it out for you now!

The Four Horsemen of the CAW-pocalypse 

It’s Judgement Day once again for Edward Furlong after he and his Native girlfriend are sacrificed in a black magic ritual meant to summon Lucifer to a fractured desert community. Will a fourth Crow answer the T2 star’s Wicked Prayer to return from the dead and stop occultists David Boreanaz (Angel) and Tara Reid (American Pie) from birthing the Antichrist?  And is new director Lance Mungia a total birdbrain for plucking the black feathers off this Goth franchise so that it now resembles a hipster Spaghetti Western?
