The Island (1980)

from Saturday Night Freak Show

On this week's episode, true-pirate afficionado Tom unleashes The Island (1980), which stars Michael Caine as a reporter who runs afoul of real-life pirates forgotten on an island in the Bermuda triangle for 300 years. Film was based on a novel by Peter Benchley (Jaws, The Deep, The Beast) and also stars David Warner. We talk about the long cinematic history of pirates, American ninjas, the long shadow of Bruce Lee, and then we take a detour into video games!

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
