JFD270: Meet the Feebles, Viy, Sex & Fury

July 10, 2015

Have you ever noticed the beautiful lighting in this toilet? We’re kicking off July in semi-ghoulish fashion with a trio of offbeat, off-color International cult films. Take a whirlwind tour of New Zealand, the Soviet Union, and Japan from the safety of your couch with your JFD pals. It’s like a trip to Epcot Center with double the decapitations and roughly the same amount of deflowered virgins. It's more fun than a flying coffin! Up first, we tackle a long-requested fan-favorite, 1989's Meet the Feebles from Pete Jackson! From the creator of Bad Taste comes a film with no taste at all. Murder, suicide, sex, drugs, rock and roll and puppets collide in this twisted parody of The Muppet Show. It's got a song about sodomy! Next! We stop by Soviet-era Russia for a fantastical retelling of a classic folk tale about a crazy witch in a mausoleum. Often cited as an influence for Evil Dead, 1967's Viy features exactly zero blood-rain, as it should. Instead, it's got the craziest witch-based movie ending in the history of insanity. Trust us, it's nuts! Finally, we visit 1973 Tokyo, land of the rising sun and the pinku film, for a little Sexy & Fury! This Toei Pinky Violence flick heavily influenced Quentin Tarantino, but for some reason he chose to leave the clothing on his sword-fighting actresses, unlike director Norifumi Suzuki. A mostly Japanese cast is unexpectedly joined by Swedish cult erotica star Christina Lindberg. It's pretty rape-y! All this plus witty banter between friends, movie characters we can't stand, an unexpected call from Warren Beatty (from Dick Tracy!), a taste of the Piven, Randomizing our Ghoul Summer Dikk Picks, Nerd News and This Week in DVD, toilet-based houseflies, Bowmans' Bookshelf, a fair share of nudity and blood spray, more skype noise than normal, surfing the Internet for info, asexual Parker, absolute confidentiality, continued lack of police involvement, sneezes, belches, gleeks and a whole lot more!
