The PM Entertainment Podcast

Episode 22 - Cellblock Sisters: Banished Behind Bars

🚿😈 SINS, SHOWER SHENANIGANS AND SISTERHOOD 😈🚿 This week The PM Entertainment Podcast gets sentenced, willingly, to Cellblock Sisters: Banished Behind Bars (1995): two long-lost sisters (Gail Harris and Annie Wood), a biker gang, one maximum security prison, scenery-devouring antagonists like Jenna Bodner, a hunky detective who always needs the room cleared, lots of showers, lots of fights, and a prison riot you'll wonder why, with all of this madness, hasn't happened sooner.  Directed by Henri Charr — whom PM Entertainment collaborated with and distributed extensively — and written by Robert Newcastle, Henri Charr and his long-time producer Jess Mancilla, Cellblock Sisters is the third and final entry in Charr's unofficial Women in Prison Trilogy, following Under Lock and Key and Caged Hearts. This is PM Entertainment in steamier, considerably more chaotic territory, and finding out that sometimes the most dangerous place in the world is a room full of scantily clad women with nothing left to lose.  Joining us for the very first time is the wonderful Erin Dawn from the excellent Manic Movie Monday — the podcast devoted to the weird, the cult, and the naughty of movie land. She was made for this one. Find her at pod.link/1691417779 [https://pod.link/1691417779]. And we sit down with the fantastic Annie Wood who plays April, the wild sister who started all of this, and is not even slightly sorry about it. Visit her at anniewood.com [https://www.anniewood.com/] and discover her world of art, voiceovers, acting, writing, directing, hosting and much more! Bars up. Warden's watching.

Episode 21 - Final Impact

🥊🌟 KICKS. DRAMA. LEATHER VESTS AND LAS VEGAS, BABY. 🌟🥊 For Episode 21, The PM Entertainment Podcast straps on its fighting gloves and heads to the neon-drenched desert for Final Impact (1992) — a gloriously melodramatic tournament fight film where the stakes are personal, the kicks are spectacular, the hair is immaculate, shirts are optional and Las Vegas glitters like a promise that's about to punch you right in the face. Starring Lorenzo Lamas as the haunted, hard-drinking former champ Nick Taylor, Michael Worth as the young hotshot with everything to prove, and Kathleen Kinmont as the woman caught in the middle, Final Impact is PM Entertainment at its most unapologetically entertaining — big emotions, big fights, big lights, and crazy crowds, looking for blood. Written and co-directed by Stephen Smoke, Final Impact is the kind of film that reminds you exactly why popping that VHS in on a Friday night felt like an event. Now, let's talk about the INTERVIEWS! Because you all had to wait a while for us to put this episode out, we managed to pull off something VERY special for you all. We talk with Lorenzo Lamas, Michael Worth and Kathleen Kinmont — virtually the entire cast — AND co-director and producer Joseph Merhi himself. That is the cast PLUS the man who made it all happen, all in one episode! How do we do it?!  Potentially this is the greatest guest lineup in the history of the show. Then, joining Jon in the co-host seats are the two brothers of beat-em-up cinema, the kings of Comeuppance Reviews [http://www.comeuppancereviews.net/], the long-running blog and podcast that is tirelessly hunting down every last action film in existence — Brett and Ty Barger! Check them out at www.comeuppancereviews.net [http://www.comeuppancereviews.net/] and the podcast at pod.link/1484210344 [https://pod.link/1484210344]. The lights are up. The crowd is on its feet.

Episode 20 - Midnight Warrior

📺🔥 RATINGS. RISK. REGRET. 🔥📺 For Episode 20, The PM Entertainment Podcast dives into Midnight Warrior (1989), a gloriously late-80s PM fever dream where heroism is just another commodity, danger is good for business, montages are mandatory, and a dreamy synth anthem literally sings the movie’s title at you until it embeds itself in your brain forever.  Starring Kevin Bernhardt as embattled news cameraman Nick Branca, in a pleather duster coat, Midnight Warrior exists in a world of rival gangs of news crews, ratings-obsessed, sleazy executives, awkwardly staged sex scenes, BIG hair, exploding cars, exploding helicopters, and some genuinely gorgeous night photography of Los Angeles - glowing like a neon warning sign. Directed by the M of PM, Joseph Merhi and written by Charles T. Kanganis, Midnight Warrior is early PM figuring out its voice: media exploitation, moral compromise, and the uncomfortable realization that the camera never blinks, even when it probably should. It's cynical, stylish, sleazy, and weirdly prophetic. Joining us once again are the dream team of Chris Kacvinsky from https://www.bulletproofaction.com/ and Matt Poirier, the Direct-to-Video Connoisseur, (https://dtvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/) and we get stuck in on discussing: - PM Entertainment’s darker, grittier early period - Bernie Angel’s scenery chewing, sleazy, all-too-believable news hound - Lilly Melgar’s very eager, girl next door performance as Angelina Mantucci  - PM talking Italian - and a potentially better way to end the film that involves a lot more spaghetti 🎧 Available now wherever you get your podcasts Lights on.

Episode 19 - Riot

🎄🔥 A VERY MERHI CHRISTMAS 🔥🎄 For our Christmas episode, The PM Entertainment Podcast dives headfirst into Riot (1996) — a Yuletide action spectacular where Gary Daniels roundhouse kicks his way through idiot children who don't know how to cook a pizza and have terrible taste in wall art, civil unrest, and unusually agressive amateur sports teams, through a Los Angeles riot zone that is suspiciously the New York backlot at Paramount Studios, lit only by burning cars and twinkly Christmas lights that turn out to have a suspiciously high voltage - it's a slamming seasonal smashfest like only PM could deliver. Teaming up with Sugar Ray Leonard, and backed by B Movie, character actor, legend Charles Napier, the Britkicker himself has to deal with multiple mad gangs, the IRA and an insane amount of rocket launcher chaos, all under the watchful eye of relentless investigative reporter Harry Johansen. The result is a breathless, nonstop display of stunt carnage and dodgy accents orchestrated by Spiro Razatos and Director, Joseph Merhi. Peace on Earth was never an option. Joining us for the breakdown are Chris Kacvinsky from Bulletproof Action [https://www.bulletproofaction.com/] and Matt Poirier the Direct-to-Video Connoisseur [https://dtvconnoisseur.blogspot.com/], whose new novel Mark in Sales is available NOW on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Y9NrFT [https://amzn.to/3Y9NrFT] buy it today! Together, we dig into why Riot remains one of PM’s most ambitious action outings, idiot pizza box burning children, the film’s massive stunt work, and imagine many a Harry Johansen, collective PM Universe, spin-off. And that’s not all — this episode is packed with interviews, including: 🎤 William Applegate Jr., the screenwriter 🎤 Kenneth Tigar, reflecting on his role as Harry Johansen, PM’s most fearless on-screen reporter and L.A. Heat's put upon police chief 🎤 Plus a special behind-the-scenes anecdote from Spiro Razatos about filming Riot’s explosive finale Explosions, riots, Christmas vibes, and peak PM madness — this one sleighs. 🎧 Available now wherever you get your podcasts 🎄💥 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pm-entertainment-podcast--6551188/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pm-entertainment-podcast--6551188/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

Episode 18 - Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter

This month's episode stomps out of the woods and straight into your headphones as we tackle one of PM Entertainment’s most unexpected detours: Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter (1994). Equal parts adventure, family flick, with minor stunt-driven diversions but an absolutely stella cast, this cult favorite, as always, gets the full deep-dive treatment. Joining us for the ride is writer, director, actor, producer, and professional cinematic agent of B Movie, low-budget, chaos Adam Thorn, the force behind Riot at the Movies, the WOC Archives [https://www.youtube.com/@TheWOCArchive] on YouTube, Video Hosers [https://www.youtube.com/@VideoHosers] and Terrible Fest. Adam brings the enthusiasm, the knowledge and a love for cryptids realised on a budget.  But that’s not all! This episode features TWO incredible interviews. First up, the legendary stuntman himself, Corey Michael Eubanks - writer and director of Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter. Corey takes us behind the scenes of crafting a PM-family adventure film, writing with Rance Howard, working with children, animals and wigs, wrangling Bigfoot and glitchy animatronic heads, and delivering the heart-pounding, off-road excitement of the finale. Then we welcome the incomparable Clint Howard, who steals scenes in Bigfoot the way only Clint can. Stories, memories, laughs, Clint brings it all. If you love PM Entertainment, ’90s oddities, sitcom kids, David Rasche chewing scenery, Bigfoot fighting a bear or wearing sunglasses, then this is an episode you can’t miss. Hit play, head into the forest, and prepare for one unforgettable encounter. Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!
