    Crackpot Cinema: Ep. 31 — MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR (1967) + SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (1978) On a very special final episode of Crackpot Cinema, Aaron Lee, Kat Ellinger and Ben Reiser pay loving tribute to our fallen pod-rade, Mike “McBeardo” McPadden, and also carry through with Mike’s plans for a special Crackpot Beatles Boxing Day Celebration. Tearjerking and gutbusting highlights include: • McBeardo takes the easy way out! • Ben Reiser: Will Work for Cookies! • Katrinka explains Boxing Day! • Victor Spinetti pronounces FOR THE LOVE OF BENJI! • McBeardo Bigger than Jesus!?! • Working Class Beatles vs. Art School Stones! • Do Brits know what spaghetti is?!? • Peter Frampton is Smeagol! • Strawberry Fields sings Strawberry Fields??? • Sha Na Na is the missing link between Woodstock and Sgt. Pepper!! • George Fucking Burns fixes a hole! • Alice Cooper is Frank Zappa! • The Wall meets Xanadu!! And much, much, much more. Mike McPadden GoFundMe: gofund.me/9bd70663 Ox85GNRMJLWZHfNHGjvb

    Ep 29 - Bustin' Loose & D.C. Cab
    Dec 11 2020
    Crackpot Cinema: Ep. 29 — BUSTIN’ LOOSE (1981) and D.C. CAB (1983) Guest co-host PAT HEALY comes roaring back for high-octane, outrageously anti-social, bizarrely heart-warming careen into the early-’80s R-rated comedy oddities BUSTIN’ LOOSE (1981) with Richard Pryor and D.C. CAB (1983) with — get ready — Mr. T, The Barbarian Brothers, Charlie Barnett, Marsha Warfield, Max Gail, Bill Maher, Irene Cara … AND Gary Busey as Dell (he demanded the special “AND” credit). Unnecessarily and inappropriately profane highlights include: • Joe Mason — Barber for Hire, Foot for Popemobile to Run Over! • The curious ’70s-turning-’80s phenomenon of R-rated PG movies! • How false advertising worked for BUSTIN’ LOOSE, but failed for BLUE COLLAR! • UNCLE TOM’S FAIRY TALES aka Richard Pryor’s THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED! • Gary Busey does filthy toilet floor “intestinal yoga”! • Mr. T pities the gimmick star who can’t crowbar “Just Say No” messaging into a filthy comedy about genuinely dangerous and reprehensible “heroes”! • Pat Healy tweet-slaps Adam Baldwin! • Timothy Carey goes to Hell — and Charlie Barnett drives him there! • The profound impact upon young Mike McPadden of NEW YORK magazine critic David Denby’s one-line summation of ST. ELMO’S FIRE — i.e., “Directed by the brutally untalented Joel Schumacher.” (Thank you to KINO LORBER for putting out BUSTIN’ LOOSE and D.C. CAB as Special Edition Blu-Rays!)
