Half man, half wolf, total terror! After having a run in with a werewolf in the jungles of Borneo, Uncle Ted (Michael Paré) returns to the states having been unable to cure himself of his lycanthropy. In a last ditch effort to use The Power of Love™ as a means to rid himself of his lethal lunar activities, he shacks up with his sister Janet (Mariel Hemingway), her son Dennis the Menace (Mason Gamble), and all-around good boy Thor, their faithful German Shepard. Things of course don’t go according to plan and Uncle Ted finds himself barking up the wrong tree and face-to-face with the mighty pack protector, Thor.Director Eric Red brings to life arguably the best werewolf ever put to film by way of Steve Johnson and Bill Corso, in an excellent adaptation of Wayne Smith’s novel. Joining us is C.B. Smith from ‘Taking a Page’ and our ongoing sub-series ‘Book to the Movie’ to shed some light on the novel ‘Thor’ and how it stacks up for a wild werewolf bar mitzvah of an episode!Grab your maximum-security high-tempere

Roger Corman strikes back at the MDU with this unreleased superhero flick based on Marvel’s First Family! Originally made just to hold on to the film rights, the movie was collecting dust on a shelf for years until some Dumpster Dwellers dug it up and slapped it on the web for us all to watch. See the origins of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing for the very first time (but definitely not the last)! Enjoy the uncomfortable grooming of a minor by a much older man who can stretch his tallywacker like a hose! Laugh at The Lawnmower Man’s Human Torch spinning like an idiot into a city-destroying laser! And weep with Ben Grimm, because he looks like a FREAK!! When Doctor Doom teams up with Ludban the Leprechaun to take over the world, it's up to the dysfunctional super-powered family to come together against them and stop Doom’s literal Death Star.

Fallen Empire comes to an end with a John Carl Buechler classic and arguably one of Empire’s best films! Harry Potter Jr. and his family (yes, that is his name) move into the same apartment building as the evil troll Torok, who wants to transform his neighbors into fae folk of the forest as a means to merge the realms. With his magic ring, Torok transforms into Harry’s little sister Heather O’Rourke from Poltergeist and goes around the complex mutating the other tenants into plants, elves, and Ghoulies™. Phil Fondacaro delivers some of his best work to date, Sonny Bono and Julia Louis-Dreyfus fall prey to the costume jewelry ring of floral death, and Shelly Shack strikes back from ‘The Stepfather’ so you know there are MDU family matters at stake here.

Mr. Lobo of 'Cinema Insomnia' joins us to answer the hard questions–Why does the imp sound like Screamin' Jay Hawkins? Were there no socks available for a simulated sex scene? Who's mall is this exactly and why don't they pay George Flower enough to buy a new hearing aid?
