This week we pay homage to a titan of cinematic machismo with a review of the semi forgotten James Caan/Petey Boyle road comedy oddity, Slither (1973) Then we bust out our ladles and fish up a lost dreg, festering at the bottom of the filmic slop trough since 1993 in the bizarre, mannequin-based revenge thriller, Kiss and Be Killed.

This week CD-R is feeling the rhythm of the night and all he can think about is how much he likes to move it, move it. Despite being Mr. Vein he pumps up the jam with a couple of hotsteppers in the form of the Ulli Lommel anti-Yakuza screed, Overkill (1987). Then we find out all the ways that rhythm is a dancer on Queen St. East, Toronto in the shiny shirt encrusted, club kid saturated revenge odyssey, Dark Nova (1999) Feedback: cultofmuscle@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/cultofmuscle Merch: redbubble.com/people/cultofmuscle/shop |

This week the boys are turning Japanese. We're turning Japanese. Yeah, we really think so. Is that a problem? First off we tuck into a little dose of Yojimbo-esque hooliganism with the live action, Streets of Fire tinged Manga adaptation, Glorious Asuka Gang (1988). Then we jump back in time ten years earlier and get our knots knocked off by the stunningly character actor packed, gangster tour-de-force, Yakuza War: Japanese Don (1977) from Sadao Nakajima.

This week CDR takes the boys North of the equator to chillier climes with a couple of chilly barn burners. First, we head up to Manitoba and experience the most subdued apocalypse this side of James Van Der Beek's chin with The Plague (2006). Then we pilot our sloop on over to Sweden where the folks are all blood bloated like a bunch of ticks and ready to pop at all times in War Dog (1987).
