Suffice it to say that we were big fans of this flick that chronicles a group of youngsters heading out into the farmlands to shoot a porno movie and end up getting much more than they bargained for.
In celebration, we dive deep into a rather shallow flick – the straight-to-video 1996 release “Uncle Sam”, directed by William Lustig and written by Larry Cohen. High-concept social commentary and silly elements blend together for a wild ride that will get your patriotism pumping. Enjoy!
Todd thinks it’s exploitation fare striving for something a little greater. Craig thinks it’s just porn. You be the judge as you listen to this week’s discussion of one of the most notorious lesbian vampire flicks of all time.
As Craig says about his childhood carnival experience: “They just look run down and they’re just held together with spit and shoe polish… it’s like a miracle that I’m not dead.” Well, quite a few people end up dead in this movie, but not from the rides. Check it out and let US know what you think!
While we admire Daphne Zuniga’s performance and it’s easy to root for her as a “scream queen,” the film’s plot development and pacing leave a bit to be desired, especially compared to other slashers of the era.
We do our best to decode and parse out this low-budget Lynch-ian flick, directed by Adam Simon, the soon-to-be director of rental store shelf staple, Carnosaur. Check it out!
