This week in X-Files history we take a look at the monster-of-the-week episode, Fire, in which Scully has to do all the work to stop a serial killer who is somehow burning members of the British parliament and nobility class alive. Mulder is too busy to help, being mopey about the reappearance of his English ex-girlfriend, a psychotic Scotland Yard agent who adds a solid dose of misogyny to an otherwise okay episode.

We also take a walk down memory lane as we look at the headlines and pop culture notes for December 17, 1993. It's a real desert of music, TV, and movies and the contemporary events of the day aren't so hot, either.

99CR 30: Story of Ricky w/guest Eli Bosnick

We're joined this week by Eli Bosnick of the God Awful Movies podcast to talk about the infamous Hong Kong Category III exploitation movie, Story of Ricky. One man enters a corrupt private prison in near-future China and faces down the evil warden, his assistant, and four villains with terrible strength and magical martial arts prowess. Along the way just about everybody gets their guts kicked out or their head punched off in this extremely gory spectacle.

We also discuss the dawn of the Category III rating in Hong Kong, how great it was to trade video tapes in the mail with total strangers in the 90's, and Eli tries to get Bryan to cop to trading horror movies for weird porno movies in what is easily one of our most inappropriate episodes yet.

70: Macabre

This week we take a look at Lamberto Bava's first official director's credit with the incredibly tasteless and disgusting piece of southern-fried necrophilia, Macabre from 1980. It's one of those movies that makes you really work for the goods since the worthwhile parts of the movie lie almost entirely in the final third after a lively and berserk setup. It'll make you wonder precisely how long you could preserve a severed head in your average consumer freezer.

Everyone's insane in this one, including the horrible little girl and you'll be hard pressed to find an actor more deeply committed to overacting than Bernice Stegers. Keep a barf bag handy.
