Zombie Take-Out Episode 336: Oedipus Dolittle
Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 4:45PM 
Scotto and Uncle John discuss a 1980s sword and sorcery flick that pit Mike from V against Zed from Men in Black, except Mike is also Dr. Dolittle and one of the second rate, replacement Charlie's Angles was there and the father from Good Times was there and you were there. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1982, The Beastmaster. Should more of the budget have gone toward pants? Is there anything that ferrets can't do? Could John Amos have shown a little more skin? Did they spend all of the money they saved on pants on pyro?

Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late, great Harry Dean Stanton by discussing a two and a half hour film that has no plot, no action and began filming before the script was completed, but could easily be the best movie that they've reviewed in over eight years. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1984, Paris, Texas. Would the film have worked without such a great writer and cast? Could anything have been cut from it? Is it Nastassja Kinski's best work? Why was Anne flirting with Travis? Did Travis have OCD? Was Hunter more an adult than his father? Rest in peace, Mr. Stanton.
Scotto and Uncle John sort of return to the world of Troma and subtly comment on recent events by discussing a film that mixes surfing, World War II, The Warriors and maybe even a bit of West Side Story. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1987, Surf Nazis Must Die. Were there too many surfing montages? Was she his mother or his grandmother? Why was Adolph's mustache so big?
Scotto and Uncle John pay tribute to the late, great Powers Boothe by discussing a movie that has a great cast, a complicated plot and a missing reel. This week on Zombie Take-Out, from 1984, A Breed Apart. Why didn't the movie get more press? Was it more inspired by a Monty Python sketch or Apocalypse Now. Does it seem more '70s than '80s? What happens to an egg collection over time?
