from B-Movie Blitzkrieg · host Duncan McLeish
B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 10The Car (1977)Rev your engines and check your mirrors, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz are being tailgated by terror as they take on The Car (1977)...the satanic sedan that makes Christine look like a cuddly Kia.This isn’t just a killer car movie. It’s a dusty, desert-set demolition derby of devilish design, where the real villain isn’t under the hood... it is the hood. With a horn that honks like doom and a grill that grins like Beelzebub, The Car is a chrome-plated enigma of evil that terrorizes a small town with all the subtlety of a monster truck rally in a monastery.---In This Episode:We ask the burning questions: Is The Car a devil movie?Why is James Brolin soo swoony but has zero game with the ladies?Why is a film with a fast demonic car paced so slow?Why does an old lady yell "Cat Poo"?---Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:That cold opening kill...two cyclists, one demonic bumper, zero remorse.Why has everyone got an inability to understand that cars can't climb stairs?Baz’s theory that the script writers had set up stories for all the characters but no endings.The fact its unashamedly a Jaw rip off.The ending...which answers NOTHING!!We ultimatley ask the hard questions...like...Is The Car a misunderstood masterpiece of minimalist horror, or just a glorified Goodyear commercial with a pentagram?---Either way, we’re not getting in without a priest and a fire extinguisher.So buckle up, check your rearview mirror, and remember... Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.---Next Episode Drops Friday, November 21st 2025Coming next time, Duncan & Baz dive headfirst into Russ Meyer’s cult classic Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!...a film that asks, “What if go-go dancers were also go-go murderers?”Expect leather, lashes, and lethal ladies as we explore the wild world of Varla and her vengeance-fueled vixens. It’s exploitation cinema at its most feral, and Baz can hardly keep it in his pants at the thought of strong women with fast cars and faster fists.Until then, stay weird, stay wild, and remember… if your car starts growling at pedestrians, maybe take the bus.TIMECODE:00:00:00 - THEME SONG00:00:45 - INTRO00:05:18 - PLOT00:09:47 - TOP 5 RAD/SAD/BAD MOMENTS00:17:44 - BEST/WORST LINES00:21:55 - PLOTHOLES00:24:35 - SCORE00:27:36 - CLOSE
