Alien Godola (ゴドラ星人 Godora Seijin)

Alien Godola (ゴドラ星人 Godora Seijin)

Unceremonious death aside, the Alien Godola — in character and design — are pretty great. They spend most of the episode cackling madly and taunting every human they come across.
I am a Disco Dancer!

I am a Disco Dancer!

Jesus Christ. I've had "I am a Disco Dancer" from Disco Dancer stuck in my head on loop for the past week. GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!
Karate Bear Fighter - Japanese poster

Karate Bear Fighter – Japanese poster

How is it that a movie called Karate Bear Fighter — with Sonny Chiba in the lead, no less — managed to slip me by for my entire thirty years of life on this planet?

Pussy from The Sopranos is eaten by a sound system

An actor's career is a roller-coaster ride. At one point in your career, you could be a featured player in one of the greatest television shows of all time. At another point, you might be getting eaten by a possessed sound system in an 80s heavy metal horror movie.

Abnormal Family: Older Brother’s Bride (1984)

I love that pink cinema can be a place where careers begin rather than end. More specifically, I love that pink cinema can be a place where Yasujirô Ozu is lovingly paid tribute.

Fur is murder

The Granny is a beautiful tale exploring the themes of family, old age, and mink stole puppets eating people.

The Invisible Maniac kills a guy with a submarine sandwich

The Invisible Maniac features someone getting killed by a submarine sandwich. And it's easily the best part of this shitty, shitty movie.
Dora Minotaur (ドーラミノタウロス Dōra Minotaurosu)

Dora Minotaur (ドーラミノタウロス Dōra Minotaurosu)

As someone who grew up loving the original incarnation of Power Rangers, it's a real mind fuck to see familiar footage in its true setting. Familiar footage like Mighty Minotaur, or, as he was known in Kyouryu Sentai Zyuranger, Dora Minotaur.

Hear No Evil aka City Dragon – German poster

This poster suggests awesome one-liners, action, sleaze and explosions. Let's just pretend that's what the movie is actually like.
Vampire boob skewer

Vampire boob skewer

Even if you don't dig Doctor Vampire's jarring mix of genres, it's hard not to appreciate its more insane moments, like a reanimated corpse running around with a boner and, in the case of this week's clip, a vampire getting her boobs skewered.
