15: The Incredible Melting Man (Andy vs. Mitch)

Episode 15 sees Andy and Mitch guestless again. Shock horror. However, in what has become a time-honoured tradition, find themselves going head to head once more. This time, it's Andy's choice.  His chosen film? The Incredible Melting Man! A personal favourite of Andy's despite horrific critical response, William Sachs' 1977 sci-fi gloopathon is a film that could be a divisive experience for the hosts. How will Mitch come down on it? Will the pair see eye to eye? Can Andy make the case that there is more to the film than meets the eye? Find out within...  The film stars Alex Rebar, Burr DeBenning, Myron Healey, Ann Sweeny and features cameos from Janus Blythe (The Hills Have Eyes, Death Trap) and Oscar winning director of The Silence of The Lambs, Jonathan Demme. The Incredible Melting Man also features remarkable practical effects from FX maestro, Rick Baker (An American Werewolf In London,Thriller). The synopsis is as follows:  When spacecraft Scorpio V returns to Earth following a mission to Saturn, two of the crew are dead and the third, astronaut Steve West, is in a critical condition. Critical, that is, until he rises from his hospital bed to bite chunks out of a nurse before escaping into the surrounding countryside. The authorities set about trying to track Steve down before he claims any other victims, but they don t know the really bad news yet - Steve is also highly radioactive!   Please note that this podcast may contain strong language and even stronger Scottish accents.  Remember, you can keep up to date with our news by following us via the usual social media outlets:  Facebook Twitter Instagram Plus you can drop us an email to [email protected].
