Junk Food Dinner is a weekly podcast devoted to cult films, sci-fi, horror movies and everything weird and wild about the cinematic art form. Your three hilarious and good-looking hosts each pick a movie and then argue about why we did or did not like them.

Episodes

It's the last Junk Food Dinner of 2024 and to celebrate we're taking a look at three weird movies from this very weird year! Up first, an uptight nerd learns how to cut loose with the help of a group of party puppets he connects with via a 1-900 number in Astron 6's Frankie Freako. Then, a royal palace is torn apart by mystery and intrigue when a supernatural entity is discovered in the visually striking anime Mononoke the Movie: The Phantom in the Rain. And finally, the 80's cult classic about a group of homeless people dying in colorful ways thanks to a mysterious substance gets a modern South African update in Street Trash. All this plus Christmas dining options, what movies you can see in theaters on Christmas Day, the return of Return of the Living Dead, updates on a potential Ramones biopic and so much more!

Sean and Parker are back with a doozy of an episode with a surprise tiwst ending! First, they complain about computers and then, because this may be the final episode of he year, there's a January Movie Preview and, surprise, the movies all look shitty. Finally, the boys discuss 2024's polarizing horror film, "In a Violent Nature." Some would call it the David Lynch of slasher movies as the film re-contextualizes the '80s slasher genre. All this plus voicemails, ICP chat and so much more. Direct Donloyd here. After the episode, give yourself an Xmas present and subscribe to our Patreon. Why not?
  Schlocktober is -still- over! But the horrors still continue! (depending on how much you like talking dinosaurs) This week! Parker and Sean are off to see the Whoopi! Either that, or they're just wearing their three-toed converse sneakers for no reason at all. But one thing's for sure: they're reviewing the weird-ass Whoopi Goldberg / talking dinosaur buddy-cop comedy "Theodore Rex" from 1996! And they're also conducting an all-important quiz on the subject of popular punks. So #DonloydNow and enjoy this bite-sized Junk Food Supper. We got all this plus Parker watches a little bit of stuff (and watches a little bit of The Long Kiss Goodnight), talkin' rock docs, surprising Streep skepticism, the very important Music League update, a very important music gameshow segment, shout out my boys the Street Sharks, sneezes, blank stares, gleeks and so much more!!

Your boys are back! They discuss the holidays and all that jazz before getting into a December movie preview and guess what! Sean and Parker are excited for at least one movie, and maybe more! Then, they discuss a taut thriller directed by the GOAT, Brian De Palma and starring a delightfully unhinged Nic Cage, as well as Gary Sinise and Carla Gugino. It's "Snake Eyes" from 1998! All this plus more! Remember to send us a voicemail and join the patreon and the discord! Direct Donloyd Here
JFD is back to help you ease into November and this month we pay tribute to Teri Garr by taking a look at three of the goofiest entries in her filmography. Up first, OG SNL writer Tom Schiller directs a short for Cinemax Comedy Experiment in 1988 titled Flapjack Floozie starring Teri Garr as a turn-of-the-century singer with and addiction for pancakes that almost spells her demise. Then, the director of License to Drive and the writers of Bill and Ted tell the tale of a boring middle-aged suburban couple (the disgraced Jeffrey Jones and the wonderful Teri Garr) who are kidnapped by an alien dictator (Jon Lovitz) in the visually impressive Mom and Dad Save the World from 1992. And finally, Teri Garr plays the mother of a young boy played by Ben Savage who befriends an alien played by Sinbad, who he finds in a box of cereal and helps him defeat an intergalactic threat in the made-for-TV movie Aliens for Breakfast from 1995. All this plus Thanksgiving food rankings, partying with Metal gods, adventures at the drive-in, blu-rays to get you in the holiday spirit and so much more!LISTEN NOW!:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

  Schlocktober is over! But the horrors continue! (depending on how much you like Billy Barty) This week! Parker and Sean are off to see the Wizard! Either that, or they're just wearing their ruby slippers for no reason at all. But one thing's for sure: they're reviewing the weird-ass Chevy Chase / Carrie Fisher comedy "Under the Rainbow" from 1981! And they're also catching up on the official JFS movie rankings. So #DonloydNow and enjoy this bite-sized Junk Food Supper. We got all this plus exchanging digits like the kids in Strange Darling do, celebrating small victories, the worst election results in our lifetime, a quick run down of some recent releases (The Fall Guy, Twisters, The Substance, Anora and maybe more!), the hottest spot for plaster cranks in Sin City (we're talking dongs), do we need to all calm down about Bruce Campbell (just a little)?, Parker defends puke movies (and also heaps mild praise on a Journey to the Center of the Earth movie), walking simulations explored, a drop requested (and delivered), sneezes, blank stares, gleeks and so much more!!

JFD is back -- just in time for Halloween!! On this very spooky Halloween episode, we conclude Schlocktober. First, a perverted scientist creates a man out of dead bodies in "Flesh for Frankenstein," starring Udo Kier. Next, The Boulet Brothers take us back to the past with a 70s-style variety show in "The Boulet Brothers Halfway to Halloween TV Special." Finally, a telephone hotline turns its callers into demons in "976-Evil," directed by Robert Englund. All this plus Nerd News, voicemails (maybe), and Halloween mayhem! Direct Donloyd here.
Your boys are back to discuss many things including the Bryan Bertino film, The Strangers from 2008. This minimalist home invasion film stars Liv Tyler, Scott Speedman and (somehow) Glen Howerton. It went on to spawn a sequel and a sort of prequel sort of remake. How much do the boys like it? Tune in and find out! All this and so much more! Direct Donloyd Here. After listening to the episode, maybe go to the Patreon and kick us a couple of dollars to listen to listerally hundreds of bonus episodes?

JFS60: Titane
  Schlocktober continues! (now that our podcast host is back online!) This week! Parker and Sean continue the Schlocktober celebrations by reviewing the French surreal body horror flick Titane (2021) from the tremendous Julia Ducournau. But first! They determine an official ranking of the best cars in all of cinema including a "classic number three" pick. So #DonloydNow and enjoy this bite-sized Junk Food Supper. We got all this plus scary budgetary planning meetings, is 2024 seeing a horror renascence?, Bowman declares whether he truly loves Art the Clown or Freddy Krueger more, a cost effective solution to the rising prices of vintage Hot Wheels toys, Sean lives that vertical van life, sneezes, blank stares, gleeks and so much more!!

Our long national nightmare is over! Our technical difficulties are resolved! If you haven't been listening to the shows on Patreon (and you should have been!) then you have a great excuse to extend your Halloween season. The boys continue Schlocktober with Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971). In this sexy and bloody Hammer Horror film directed by Seth Holt and Michael Carreras, a long-dead Egyptian spirit may be inhabiting the body of an archeologist's sexy daughter. It's based on a Bram Stoker novel that isn't "Dracula!" There's also a segment that I don't recall what it is and possibly voicemails. I don't recall!
