99CR 11: 10 To Midnight w/guest Jeff Nelson
05/06/24 • 116 min
This week, Dave and Bryan are joined by Jeffrey Nelson, co-creator of the Scream Factory label for Shout Factory, to talk about the utterly unhinged Charles Bronson detective movie, 10 To Midnight. It's the tale of a cop, a father, his bleeding heart liberal, college-educated partner, and a serial killer whose nude and on the loose. Bronson could catch his man if it weren't for all the sleazy lawyers and liberal courts who want to coddle the criminal element instead of punish them. You'll be hard-pressed to find another movie that so brazenly espouses the dominant political theory of the Reagan 80's. It's a real NRA fever dream and an unintentionally hilarious piece of camp from the Cannon Group.

41: The Hitcher
This week, Bryan and Dave take a trip back to 1986 for the Rutger Hauer/C. Thomas Howell horror movie road trip, The Hitcher, from the murderous, deeply troubled writer, Eric Red. Dave struggles with modern re-evaluations that attempt to claim The Hitcher as some sort of queer horror hidden gem and Bryan has to do a lot of heavy lifting to fill in the movie's massive narrative gaps in order to make it a movie worth watching. Is the movie's imperiled hero Jim Halsey dead this whole time? Is he gay and on the run from the physical manifestation of bisexuality? You're going to have to listen to find out!

42: Troll
This week Bryan and Dave take a look at John Carl Buechler's swing-and-a-miss for the Charles Band dynasty, Troll. It's supposed to be filled with whimsy, adventure, and high-fantasy but is instead filled with crappy rubber monsters and cringe-inducing performances by actors tenured enough to know better by this point. Noah Hathaway casually throws away any goodwill he earned with his portrayal of Atreyu in The Neverending Story. Michael Moriarty seems to have no idea what he's even doing there. It's all a jumbled mess that somehow managed to be a smash-hit at the box office for Empire Pictures and a video rental gem of the 1980's.
