Dan and Ben are Back on the Bond and Back with Uncle Roger as we tackle the final entry in Roger Moores Tenure as the super secret agent and…honestly. The film speaks for itself (this ones AMAZING.)

The ‘Ghostbusters’ (1984) Comedy Dining Experience
Y’know, I completely forgot to update this section, but with the CDE on a bit of a hiatus (more on that in the coming weeks) I thought it would be a good idea to backlog! starting with this wonderful little commentary in which me, Laura and Triv of Trivial theater spend nearly 2 hours NOT talking about Ghostbusters.
The Giant Claw (1957)
One of the first collabs of the season and we landed an absolute winner with Jonathan North, I was first put in touch with Jonathan via Trivial Theater who’s good friends with Jonathan and has appeared on his channel multiple times reviewing family friendly cult classics. Obviously given the nature of my content, I didnt want to scare the guy too badly with ‘Wicked World’ or ‘The Corpse Grinders’ So I thought i’d have him on to talk about a movie thats been on my ‘To Cover’ list more or less since I started the channel!
I love ‘The Giant Claw’ I unapologetically love it, its cheesy, goofy, easy on the gore but surprisingly violent and the titular Giant Claw doesnt get nearly enough credit for being as interesting a creature as it is.
While I dont think I won Jonathan over totally, he was kind enough to invite me onto his channel over Christmas 2022, which was very nice of him. and I of course would love to have him back some day.
Wicked World (1992/2019)
When it came to an opening episode for season 12, it was really a case of the planets quite wonderfully aligning. I have a real soft spot for the works of Barry J. Gillis. Ever since I first caught his opening feature “Things” damn near a decade ago, I’ve been entertained and impressed with his work ever since and when AGFA announced early last year that they were reissuing Barry’s 2nd feature “Wicked World” well, it all fell into place. I’d just started work on this season at that point, and it arrived WELL in time for me to cover it.
So! given the draught of Gillis titles i’d covered on the channel, his big bluray debute of “Wicked World” really seemed like a no brainer! it has everything you could possibly want in a Gillis movie and more!
If you’d like to grab a copy of Wicked world, theres limited stock available via Vinegar Syndrome Here
And for you really wild cats out there, Barry actually has a new film currently in production and due out imminently with updates coming via his facebook page, which I highly recommend checking Here
