RetroStrange Movie Night #20: War of the Robots (1978), Star Odyssey (1979)

Poster for RetroStrange Movie Night #20

Howdy, Strangers. Thanks to all of you who showed up for last weekend’s Bruceploitation fest, and a big shout-out to RSMN regulars Joel and Hannah.

Next time, on the 6th of March 2021, we’ll be watching a pair of Italian Space Operas, War of the Robots (aka Reactor) and Star Odyssey (aka Space OdysseyMetallicaCaptive Planet). They’re 2 of a 4-part series of shameless cash grabs by Alfonso Brescia, who tried to Allan Smithee himself by using a pseudonym, but people figured it out.

We hope to see you there, same Bat time, same Bat channel.

RetroStrange Movie Night #19: The Real Bruce Lee (1973), Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave (1976)

Poster for RSMN #19

The next Movie Night is on February 20th, 2021 and will feature a pair of Bruceploitation features.

The Real Bruce Lee (1973), also known as Last Fist of Fury, stars Dragon Lee (credited as “Bruce Lei”) and is a take-off on First of Fury (1972) in which Japan has invaded China and Mr. Lee fights against his foreign oppressors.

Bruce Lee Fights Back From The Grave (1976), also released as Visitor of America, stars Jun Chong (founder, World United Martial Arts Organization) and despite the title only features a single scene about Bruce Lee coming back from the grave. The rest of the plot revolves around a Korean fellow traveling to America to rescue his brother from some criminals.

We hope you’ll join us! As usual, we’ll start at 6:30pm with some safety videos. See you then!

Shout-out to the website Clones of Bruce Lee, an indispensable resource while researching these films.

It’s RetroStrange Movie Night… night! + New Twitch Emojis!

Howdy strangers, I’m producing this week’s show (it’s been a long week) as I type this. We hope you’ll join us for Movie Night #18 at 7pm Pacific! We’ll start off with All the Kind Strangers (aka Evil in the Swamp), have a short (curated) 15 min intermission and end with Werewolf of Washington. If people are still hanging out we’ll take requests and play some more junk until we get tired.

Our Twitch chat has been augmented by the addition of two new emojis, joining the Dick Miller emoji and making a set of three are The Lady (from The Doughnuts) which can be used with extraf8-lady and Edward Everett Horton who can be summoned with extraf8-eeh. They look like this:

See you tonight!
