If you know one thing about 1953's ROBOT MONSTER, you know that its alien villain has the body of a gorilla with a diving helmet on his head. Shot in four days for $16,000, Robot Monster may be bad, but it's also impossible to dislike. For its 70th anniversary, this sci-fi semi-classic has received a much-needed restoration from the 3D Film Archive. To mark the occasion, Will Sloan spoke to Bob Furmanek (president and founder of the Archive), as well as Robot Monster's last surviving cast member, Gregory Moffett.

In the beloved cult classic The Brain from Planet Arous (1957), an evil brain from outer space inhabits the body of an atomic scientist to plot world domination. Of course, the sinister brain is also very interested in the love interest, played by Joyce Meadows. Sixty-five years after it was made, The Brain from Planet Arous is now available on a beautiful Blu-Ray from The Film Detective, with Meadows (now 89) participating in the extras. In this special interview episode, Will speaks to Joyce Meadows about the craft she brought to low-budget 1950s cinema, her films with William Castle and Edward L.

From 1980 to 1985, the underground zine “Sleazoid Express” became one of the first publications to seriously cover grindhouse movies, and a valuable primary document about life on New York’s 42nd Street.

Steve Wang is a legendary special effects artist who worked on PREDATOR, HELLBOY, GREMLINS 2 and dozens of other stone-cold classics. He's also a great director. No one in North America has done a better job of marrying complex practical special effects and high octane Hong Kong-style action than Steve Wang in films like KUNG FU RASCALS, GUYVER: DARK HERO and DRIVE (1997). I enjoyed speaking to Steve about his directorial career, and topics under discussion include his time as the director (briefly) of POWER RANGERS: THE MOVIE, an unmade Steven Seagal film, and a reboot of FIST OF THE NORTH STAR that was meant to star Mark Dacascos! *** For an interview more centred around Steve Wang's make-up career, check out his great appearance on THE DARK SOCIETY PODCAST: https://soundcloud.com/darkartsociety/steve-wang-ep-155.

Writer/Director Edmond Greville was one of the seventh arts' first cinephiles turned filmmakers. He worked from 1931 to 1963 and his pictures are filled with imagination, energetic style and boundary-pushing experimentation, but his filmography has fallen through the cracks in the way the work of Edgar G. Ulmer and Joseph H. Lewis never have. Why is that? And how can things change? We focus on Gréville's legacy as well as three of his films: NOOSE, WHIRLPOOL and THE ACCIDENT. For more information on the availability of his films, Justin has put together a handy guide available here: https://filmtrap.com/a-guide-to-the-films-of-edmond-greville/ Check out Justin's other podcast THE BAY STREET VIDEO PODCAST (@thebaystreetvideopodcast) and NO SUCH THING AS A BAD MOVIE (@nosuchthingasabadmovie) as well as Will's other podcast MICHAEL AND US (@michael-and-us) Subscribe, Review and Rate Us on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-…ub/id1067435576 Follow the Podcast: twitter.com/ImprtCinemaClub Follow Will: twitter.com/WillSloanESQ Follow Justin: twitter.com/DeclouxJ

What is it like to act in a Godfrey Ho film?* The cut-n-paste films of Godfrey Ho, Tomas Tang and Joseph Lai are filled with footage of caucasian actors spouting inane dialogue, often dressed as ninjas, in an attempt to fool audiences into thinking they were watching an American production. Some actors like Bruce Baron appeared multiple times, others like Richard Harrison found themselves in dozens of pictures against their will, and then there are some faces that came and went without even being credited. Such is the case with Trudy Calder. A few days ago, Twitter user and Important Cinema Club member Skinslip tweeted about her journey exploring the Gold Ninja Video Blu-ray set NINJA VORTEX. Skinslip mentioned watching CROCODILE FURY and Trudy revealed in a reply to that tweet that she was one of the actors in the film: She played the blonde-haired sorceress who commands an army of hopping vampires, attacks the hero with a metal razor hand, and has a monster burst out of her chest! I reached out to Trudy and asked if she’d be willing to be interviewed about her experiences working on CROCODILE FURY and she graciously took the time to answer my questions. Enjoy! Watch CROCODILE FURY online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8U2VB5sX_U For more information on the world of Godfrey Ho check out an episode we did on the subject: https://soundcloud.com/the-important-cinema-club/122-ninja-ninja-godfrey-ho-ninja *I am aware that CROCODILE FURY is credited to Godfrey Ho, but he probably had nothing to do with it!

WARNING: Make sure to watch BEYOND SKYLINE before listening to this! As regular listeners may know, we at The Important Cinema Club are huge fans of movie commentary tracks and are always disappointed when a Blu-ray doesn't feature one - especially when a film's Writer/Director is a fan of sharing behind the scenes stories on his Twitter/Instagram. So, we decided to record our own! In celebration of the release of SKYLINES (The third film in the trilogy), The Important Cinema Club is proud to present an exclusive commentary track for BEYOND SKYLINE featuring Writer/Director Liam O'Donnell. Enjoy!

After doing an episode on Hallmark Christmas Movies I had a lot of questions on my mind, so I was really excited to talk to one of the experts on the Christmas directing scene: Sam Irvin. Sam has worked as Brian De Palma's assistant, made films for Full Moon, and has had a prolific career as director of TV Movies of all sorts - and that includes 8 Christmas movies! He was nice enough to have a chat with me about his experiences with gruelling schedules, shooting a Gay Christmas Movie (that can pass as straight), and the limits of Christmas cheer.

When you think of cinephile director’s, the names that usually come to mind are Joe Dante, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino...but what about Fred Olen Ray? Ray is the filmmaker behind such video store classics as EVIL TOONS, HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS, and ARMED RESPONSE, but he’s also a massive film fan. He wrote a book called THE NEW POVERTY ROW about independent distributors, casts forgotten stars, like Bowery Boy actor Huntz Hall, in his projects, and he also runs a DVD distribution company RETRO MEDIA where he’s released films like PLANET OF THE DINOSAURS, THE ALIEN FACTOR and THE BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE with brand new special features.

Over the last eleven years, Writer/Director Mickey Reece has made 30 feature films that have run the genre gamut of psychodramas, stylish comedies, bizarro westerns, and imaginative kids films, Once each film would be completed, he would play it once in Oklahoma City, put it on the shelf, and move on to the next one. The rest of the world has never seen his work.  Until now.  In anticipation of his upcoming comedy ARROWS OF OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE premiering at the Chattanooga Film Festival, which is only the second time one of Reece's films will be featured at a major festival, Justin sits down with Mickey to talk creative drive, inspiration and how one guy can make so much stuff without throwing in the towel.

Will and Justin talk Woody Allen by way of his undeniable classic ANNIE HALL (1977) and its terrible kinda-remake ANYTHING ELSE (2003).

Akira Kurosawa is a monolith and Justin and Will nervously approach his filmography like soldier's marching through a minefield. They watch THRONE OF BLOOD, THE BAD SLEEP WELL and discuss the master's biography, his riff with Toshiro Mifune, and the reason he's the Michael Bay of his time*. Plus, a special appearance by Ishiro Honda (Director of the original GODZILLA) *No.

It's time for the Important Cinema team to tackle the most important question of our time: Who was the funniest comedy team of 1933? Will and Justin discuss the topic heatedly as they tackle Marx Brothers masterwork DUCK SOUP and the Wheeler and Woolsey comedy DIPOLOMANIACS - both films deal with politics, both were released in 1933, but only one can be the best of the best. Along the way they talk about the appeal of the Marx Brothers, the reason Wheeler and Woolsey have been lost to the sands of time, and why The Three Stooges are still the best.

Everyone knows that Roger Corman is one of the most influential producers in the history of film, but what was he like as a director? In an overview of his career as an auteur, Justin and Will discuss his hippie culture 'comedy' "GAS-S-S-S-S-S" and Corman's final film "FRANKENSTEIN UNBOUND" while taking pit stops to talk about his William Shatner opus THE INTRUDER, Will's phone conversation with the Great Man, and what makes Roger's films (especially his five day quickies) special.

Will and Justin tackle their TOP 10 lists of 2015 in glorious 70mm audio! They discuss the validity of making lists, why Justin has chosen a bunch of films no one has seen, and why Will thinks Mordecai should be the #2 films of the year.

In a very special episode, Justin and Will tackle the holiday cinematic season by watching the awful Kirk Cameron vehicle SAVING CHRISTMAS and the holiday 'classic' MIRACLE ON 34th street. They discuss their own feelings on faith, padding films to feature length, rapping bible songs, the existence of Santa Claus, and a slew of other Christmas Classics!

Justin and Will discuss the work of Cinema's irredeemable bad boy Jean-Luc Godard by examining his films 2 or 3 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER (1967) and HAIL MARY (1984). They talk about the people who love the grumpy jerk (which includes Will), the transition Godard's golden age to his "What the hell are you talking about?" age, and his legacy in the History of Film (not to be confused with Godard's History of film). The most pulse pounding talk about French New Wave's favorite son you'll hear TODAY!

Hard Boiled versus Bad Boys 2. Hong Kong versus America. John Woo versus Michael Bay. Who is the greatest action filmmaker our planet has ever seen!? It's a battle of the explosion titans as Justin and Will dive into both films and dissect what makes them work (or not), why they are held in such high regard and what they believe the future will hold for both stylish auteurs. Get on the edge of your seat and buckle up for the ride of a life time - that involves two people talking about MOOOOOOVVVIIIIIEEEES!

Crazed. Passionate. Difficult. Psychotic. Dedicated. Nuts. All those adjectives describe director Abel Ferrera, but none of them explain how he's survived for so long and continued to helm projects that are personal and unique. Hosts Justin Decloux and Will Sloan may not have all the answers, but they do discuss the man's first film, the psycho murder romp DRILLER KILLER (1979) and his most critically acclaimed film, the psycho cop romp BAD LIEUTENANT (1992), with a quick chase through the man's filmography along the way! Did you know he made a black and white vampire film? Or a Christmas film? Or that Will Sloan has met him twice face to face?

In the first episode of the IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB (A.K.A CLUB DU CINEMA IMPORTANT) hosts Justin Decloux (Laser Blast Film Society) and Will Sloan (Jerry Lewis Expert) dive into the work of an American legend through the prism of two of his masterworks - Martin Scorsese's KING OF COMEDY and Mr. Lewis' final directorial effort CRACKING UP. It's a fiery discussion about the nature of comedy, total cinema and the man - the - the myth - the legend - and his impact on the entire entertainment world. Questions under discussion include: Is Jerry Lewis funny? Are Jerry Lewis films still relevant? Would Will Sloan kill for Jerry Lewis? What's the deal with THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED anyway? For the answer to these, and many other important questions, you must listen to the episode before it's too late. *** For questions, comments or suggestions, send us an e-mail at importantcinemaclubpodcast@gmail.com
