GBW #8: Family Ties (Skinner / Ice Cream Man / Savage Harbor)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! On this week’s episode, Ryan drags Chris through the muck of the direct-to-video wasteland with three films that star the sibling of a much more famous person. We start with 1993's "Skinner," a genuinely unsettling piece of horror sleaze in the same vein as "Maniac" and "The Driller Killer" in which Ted Raimi (brother of director Sam Raimi) plays a serial killer who skins his victims and wears it. Then, we move onto 1995's "Ice Cream Man," a feeble attempt at horror-comedy starring Clint Howard (brother of director Ron Howard) and a "standout" performance from the late Jan-Michael Vincent (and by "standout" we mean they literally had to stand him out to get him to do anything in his few scenes). Finally, we do our best to breakdown the plot of 1987's "Savage Harbor," aka "Death Feud," in which Frank Stallone (brother of Sylvester Stallone) and Christopher Mitchum (son of Robert Mitchum) play longshoremen who double as both terrible detectives and terrible street brawlers. *Note: "Skinner" is available on Blu-ray from our friends at Severin Films, and "Ice Cream Man" is available from our friends at Vinegar Syndrome ("Savage Harbor" is also available from Vinegar Syndrome but is sadly out-of-print)* You can find this and future episodes on our website thegoodbadwhat.com.
