The PM ENTERTAINMENT PODCAST
Episode 26 - Bikini Summer
For Episode 26, The PM Entertainment Podcast squeezes in one last drop of sunny silliness before the season slams the door shut with Bikini Summer (1991) — PM Entertainment's scantily clad ode to saving the environment, stopping soulless condo developments and celebrating innovative, tiny and brightly beachwear. Bikini Summer super fan, the incomparable Erin Dawn of the Manic Movie Monday Podcast returns to the co-host seat, and we sit down with the star of the film, the Emmy Award winning David Millbern. Skinny dipping and social commentary, what's not to love?
Episode 23 - Angels of the City
For Episode 23, we head to the mean, neon-soaked streets of late 80s Hollywood for Angels of the City (1989). We’re talking college girls, sorority pranks, pimps, shotgun blasts, useless boyfriends, harpoons, the darkest ending of all PM films and one absolute banger of a title track, all courtesy of the legendary Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs who wrote, directed, produced, starred in AND scored the thing. Joining us are two of the finest authorities on direct-to-video and VHS cinema around, Moe Von Helvete and Matt Poirier. Wrong street. Wrong night. Wrong pimps. Let's go!
Video Review - Angels of the City
I review the incredible, underrated, wild, bleak, dark, hilarious, weird, unexpected and unhinged Angels of the City
Video Review - L.A. Vice
I review L.A. Vice the second part of the Jon Chance trilogy - they’ve managed to round up FBI agents who are worse at their job than Chance who is now a take no prisoners, shoot first and don’t even ask a question kind of cop and the cinematography and the lighting have ramped up a notch!!
Video Review - L.A. Heat
I review the first ever PM Entertainment film, L.A. Heat, which I loved by the way, maybe not the way they intended it but as an eyewitness to Detective Jon Chance’s deranged descent into hell and hitting rock bottom before violent death restores his soul and his faith in being a good cop.

Video Review - Cellblock Sisters: Banished Behind Bars
I’m taking on Cellblock Sisters: Banished Behind Bars, Henri Charr’s PM-financed, Gail Harris–starring, 1990s women-in-prison flick that delivers exactly the kind of exploitation its title promises… and then completely blindsides you by being way better than it has any right to be.

City Lights Entertainment Blu-Ray Review Vol.1 - Hollow Gate - from terror-vision.com
