Hi, this is Dick Miller.

You're listening to Junk Food Cinema.

Who were these guys?

Well, Welcome junkions to a not-so final episode of Jug Food Cinema, brought to you by FilmSchoolRejects.com Dot, if you're going to call your movie the final chapter, don't make seven and a half more fucking sequels.

This is, of course, the weekly cult and exploitation film cast so good, it just has to be fattening.

I'm your host, Brian Salisbury, and I'm joined yet again by a man who is self-described as the Phyllis Diller of junk food cinema.

Like, you know, I was born in the early 70s, so I was in the exact right age frame to be obsessed with Friday the 13th.

Because despite what adults thought, me and my friends realized that it was, you know, absolutely ridiculous.
