COPS AND CRITTERS – THIS WEEK IN THE FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE!!!

From the deep blue sea to the foggy wastelands of Greece to the streets of New York City – we’ve got wild cops and wilder critters on the loose in this week’s Beta Max TV FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE!

Uncle Pete’s on the road and in trouble again for The Dark Vault Of Public Domain presentation of A COP IN DRAG.  In this action-packed Italian crime comedy-infused drama, after a victim is found murdered at a transvestite cabaret, a cop must infiltrate the gay community to find the murderer. (1984) Meanwhile, Uncle Pete has a little trouble with the Italian police.

Then, Triv and Ritch take us to shark infested waters for – you guessed it – sharks in MAKO: JAWS OF DEATH on The Midnight Movie. Given a medallion that gives him a psychic connection with sharks, a Vietnam veteran  organizes the sharks in a war against the shady scientist and businessman who try to force him to use his power for their benefit. (1976)

Mythical beasties abound – and so does treachery in MEDUSA AGAINST THE SONS OF HERCULES.  To avenge his father’s death by the evil Galenore who claimed his throne, Perseus must battle a man-eating dragon and Medusa, the creature that turns men to stone, before he can finally try to challenge Galenore. (1963)

Then it’s a double dose of ’80s cop action as The Cinema Snob checks out DEADLY FORCE and THE BIG SCORE.  The Snob reviews two 1983 action films. Deadly Force with Wings Hauser as a cop turned P.I. hunting a serial killer and The Big Score with Fred Williamson as a cop trying to bring down a kingpin drug dealer.

And then, this doggie is anything but a good boy in MONSTER DOG on Screaming Soup.  Deadwest looks at the 1984 Alice Cooper movie about a rock star who, returning to his hometown to shoot a video, finds that murders are taking place by a pack of dogs… or perhaps something else.

There’s cops chasing criminals and critters chasing EVERYBODY in this week’s FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE on your home for B-movies… and a lot of chasing!  Beta Max TV!!!

Find out about some famous aviatrices and maybe even who the murderer is on The Weirdness Really Bad Movie presentation of NON-STOP NEW YORK.  Dave and Holly head to the International Women’s Air and Space Museum for this British mystery as an actress flying on a futuristic super plane finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery. (1937)

And there’s a psycho killer and a psycho clown for THE HOSTAGE on Mansion Of Mystery.  A boy becomes a hostage for a psychopath and his friend when he stows away in their van as they try to dispose of a man they murdered. (Harry Dean Stanton, 1967) Mansion neighbors sneak in to try to find evidence for legal action but they encounter Evil Baby Demon Clown and soon regret they ever snuck in!

Then it’s time to nyuk it up with those lovable knuckleheads as Toxic Tales brings you THE THREE STOOGES EPISODE.  Timber presents a fun frolic of the Three Stooges works including several of the original shorts and some of their cartoons!

Then end up with a slash of color – blood red – as The Cinema Snob takes a look at SLAUGHTER HIGH!  The Snob reviews the 1986 slasher film about a nerdy student who becomes disfigured because of a school prank and decides to seek revenge on his fellow students in very bloody ways.

MUSIC, MURDER, AND ALIENS THIS WEEK IN THE FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE!!!

There’s music with a look back in time and a complete stop. There’s dead bodies – and some that won’t stay that way. And there’s a friendly alien on the run and it’s all in this week’s Beta Max TV FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE!!!

There’s a visitor from way out and lots of way out fun in THE SHERIFF AND THE SATELLITE KID on The Dark Vault Of Public Domain.  A young humanoid alien who gets stranded on earth hooks up with a grizzled old sheriff in a southern town and tries to help him while the sheriff tries to protect the kid from alien hunting government men. Bud Spencer, Cary Guffey (1979) Uncle Pete does some stargazing of his own!

There’s classic Clips and lotsa legends as Beaucoup Askew’s Fashion Trashin presents MMH’s UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT FESTIVAL FLASHBACK. Cinnamon and Diamond turn the controls over to Elestheria Ving for a look back at some of the highlights of the past Up Down Left Right Music Festivals.

Some things are better left alone – like dead bodies – as shown in CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS on The Midnight Movie.  The gang presents the 1972 zombie film about a troupe of actors who travel to an island cemetery for a party where they recite a spell to revive a dead body and are horrified to find they’ve revived all the bodies – and they’re hungry!!!

There’re less bodies but they’re all dead in the Spine Chilling Cinema presentation of THE KENNEL MURDER CASE.  Oliver the Caretaker digs up a whodunnit about a wealthy man who everyone thinks committed suicide but ace detective Philo Vance smells a murder and is on the trail (William Powell, 1933)

And there’s music and motionlessness in JIMMY THE BOY WONDER on Mondopiece Theatre.  It’s a review of a children’s film from 1955 – one of the few from gore master Herschell Gordon Lewis – about a boy who stops time and then must set it straight before an evil wizard takes over the world!

Spend some time this long weekend with the music, murder, and merriment of the FRIDAY FUN-TIME FIVE on your home for B-movies… and forgotten classics!  Beta Max TV!!!
