Episode 188 - Kong vs Flickerzilla

We turn our attention to director Jackie Kong in the cave this week by looking at two films from her career. We start off with her third film, 1987's "Blood Diner" which was originally planned as a follow-up to H.G. Lewis' "Blood Feast". It tells the story of two brothers who have the brain of their uncle in a jar and are being directed, by the brain, to perform a variety of rituals to resurrect an ancient goddess. The cave was divided on this one, but we were more aligned on the second film which was Kong's debut effort as a director. 1983's "The Being" is about a mysterious monster rampaging through Pottsville, Idaho, leaving a trail of dead bodies in its wake. It has some recognizable faces in the cast and some pretty impressive special effects at times. We follow that with our usual discussion of what else we've been watching.Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
