Someone's Favorite Movie
This time, we cover Liongate's attempt to bring Marvel's walking pile of sod, the Man-Thing, to the big screen.

65. Sid and Nancy
Someone's Favorite Movie
Never mind the Bollocks, it’s Someone’s Favorite Movie with another cringe punny way to introduce the show notes for episode 66 of this esteemed program. In this episode, it’s the doomed romance of Sid Vicious (from the Sex Pistols) and Nancy Spungen in Alex Cox's sensationalized biopic. This is the second Alex Cox film that we have covered. The first was the equally punk-centric movie, Repo Man in episode 58 of this podcast. Check it out!

info_outlineCatch a (sound) wave and listen to Someone’s Favorite Movie be the Big Kahunas as they discuss the comedy-satire-parody of beach movies - Surf II: The End of Trilogy
Surf II: The End of the Trilogy was conceived while under the influence of painkillers after writer/director Randall Badat injured himself in a surfing accident - and it certainly shows. It’s part teen sex comedy and part surreal experiment, in which a scheming mad scientist plots to turn his greatest enemies - the surfers - into mindless, trash-eating zombies. His
means of revenge is a weaponized caffeinated beverage called Buzzz Cola. It’s up a young Eric Stotlz and Stoltz and his buddy to ruin this evil plan so that the weekend surfing contest can still go on.
