HO HO HOpeless. Greed comes to Christmas in the first Santa Claus origin story/superhero reboot.  Dudley Moore, John Lithgow  do their best to get through “Santa Claus: the Movie.” Obviously they only read the first draft of the paycheck. Mike Spiegelman, my brother from the same mother, joins with back ground on this film, ridiculous moments and product placement. Yes, a movie that takes place mostly on the North Pole has product placement. Lithgow chews up the scenery like a Christmas cookie and Moore sits there like an old fruit cake. The movie has the same footage of NYC that was used in Superman. This time they just put Santa on it. Plus a lot of glitter. Chantel! Dear Santa, I know you know when I’ve been sleeping and you know when I’ve been awake. Sorry about the film. Could not keep my eyes open. Enjoy two out of three cookies I left for you. ” If you still want to buy “Santa Claus: The Movie” click here. “Proudly Resents” will be Live in NYC on January 13th. Buy tickets here. Impulse buy Mike’s very funny joke book.   From Wikipedia: In his book Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, critic Alonso Duralde lists Santa Claus: The Movie in his chapter of worst Christmas movies ever. His reasons include weak plot, garish production design, blatant product placement (particularly for McDonald’s, though Coke and Pabst Blue Ribbon are also prominent), and scenery-chewing overacting on the part of Lithgow. Duralde ultimately concludes that the film is “a train-wreck of a Christmas movie that’s so very wrong that you won’t be able to tear yourself away from it.”  John Carpenter was originally offered the chance to direct, but also wanted a say in the writing, musical score and final cut of the movie. Carpenter’s original choice for the role of Santa was Brian Dennehy. (Yes, I just quoted a source that quoted a source.) From IMDB.com, lines from the movie:     Ancient Elf: The Prophecy has come to pass, that there would come to us a Chosen One, and that he, having no child of his own, would love all children everywhere, and that he himself would be an artisan, and a craftsman, and a skilled maker of toys. [to Santa] And now, Chosen One, come forward. From this day on, now and forever, you will bring all our gifts to all the children in all the world, and all this to be done on Christmas Eve.     Santa Claus: How can I do so much in just one night?     Ancient Elf: Well, know this: time travels with you. The night of the world is a passage of endless night for you, until your mission is done. This is your legacy, and your gift…. as is the gift of flight. Now, all those within the sound of my voice, and all those on this Earth everywhere know that henceforth, you will be called — Santa Claus. And now, everyone, Merry Christmas.

 Anna Nicole Smith’s last film was “Illegal Aliens.” David Giancola directed that ill fated film and made a documentary about his insane experience. The movie has lots of footage of Anna on and off camera.  David and I talk via Skype about making both b-movies like Anna’s last “Illegal Aliens” and the documentary “Addicted To Fame.”  We also talk about making films in Vermont, shooting bar mitzvahs, using media and being used by media and truth behind Howard K. Stern.  Plus local rock legend: Johnny Azer. He’s great. I booked him on a TV show 10 years ago. He was great. His YOUTUBE video is at the bottom of the page  (Listen here) And oh yeah, David’s first film “Time Chasers” is a MST3K staple. From their official website: “ADDICTED TO FAME” is the hilarious, outrageous, and ultimately tragic true story of one filmmaker’s journey from obscurity to moral blindness in the seductive glare of the media spotlight. Director DAVID GIANCOLA wanted to break out by making a “Movie that mocked B-Movies”. He thought he could manipulate the media by casting ANNA NICOLE SMITH. In the end the media manipulated him instead as his star and one of his Producers died in a media feeding frenzy. The film bombed but the story was the most reported event of 2007 – behind only coverage of the Iraq war. The truth is always stranger and more unbelievable than fiction… Watch movie here.

The writer of Barbra Streisand & Ryan O’Neal’s “The Main Event,” talks about making the boxing rom-com.  Andrew Smith exposes how the movie was pitched, why it was really made and what it was like to work with super producer Jon Peters. Andrew also spills what it was like to write for SNL – the Eddie Murphy years. Welcome to Proudly resents. This show is for Bucky Sinister. My friend Andrew Smith was on an earlier show talking about what it was like to have written the Madonna flop “Who’s that girl?” Andrew and I worked on the view together, where he wrote jokes for Joy Behar. To help promote the show, I’ve been trading promos with shows that I enjoy. So today we have two promos for shows I think you might be into. One is from Wayne Henderson who does a show about the TV show Fringe and The Hollywood Outsider. If you want to trade promos email me proudpod@gmail.com.

Outtakes from Keith & the Girl and Nicko’s brush with fame. My tale of visiting the Neverland Ranch and other such stuff. Plus we review “Alienator.” To keep the shows under an hour, sometimes I pull stories from different shows. If they are good, I saved them. If I put them on Audacity they get erased. These two stories have been saved. I’ve been meaning to add them. Sometimes I add them to the very end of the show. Here I talk about going to the Neverland Ranch, one guest admits to borrowing cable TV and Nicko talks about befriending Bil Hicks and Stephan Fry. Then we review “Alienator” – this week’s offering at “Horrible Movie Night” in Hollywood. It’s an old show that’s on the website still but not on Itunes. Since it’s being featured this Saturday night, I thought it would be a good time to replay it. It features HMN’s John Mathot and Eric “Danger” Nyenhuis. John runs HMN. John’s description of “Alienator” from his website: From legendary & prodigious cult movie director Fred Olen Ray, this 1985 picture has a bit of a split-personality.  The first half takes place on a prison ship cruising through the galaxy.  Jan-Michael Vincent plays the captain (along with P.J. Soles from “Stripes”), who is supervising the execution of the notorious criminal Kol.  Naturally, Kol escapes and high-tails it to Earth, where he enters the second, completely different section of the movie.  Kol runs into a group of drunken college kids, and they are all soon being pursued by an unstoppable female cyborg.  Who is the good guy?  Who is the bad guy?  Who knows?  And ultimately, who cares?   “Alienator” is an ungodly amount of fun.  Jan-Michael Vincent has the helmetest of helmet hair in a thoroughly constipated performance that’s amazing to behold.  We also Kol’s breathless method acting as he tries to acclimate to Earth’s atmosphere.  And let’s not forget to mention the female terminator (not to be confused with “Lady Terminator“), whose laser blasts can vaporize a car, but can also be deflected by a trash can lid.  Oh, and she wears golf cart hubcaps on her boobs.   -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Saturday, November 17th, 2012 8PM (doors 7:30) NerdMelt Showroom 7522 Sunset Blvd. Hollywood, Calif., 90046 $8 in advance ($10 at the door) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

We  talk about “Aerobi Cide” AKA “Killer Workout.” A movie so nice they named it twice. The killer in this film uses a safety-pin… I’m sorry, a giant novelty store, baby Huey sized safety-pin. The movie also offers lots of bad dialogue and tons of 80’s aerobic outfits. You can watch the movie uncensored right here, below! Watch it, tell us what you think.Listen to the podcast! From IMDB.com Two years ago, a young woman named Valerie was burned after entering a tanning salon. Now, her twin sister, Rhonda runs a local gym where all of a sudden, people are being murdered. The director found it very hard working with the director of photography because “He had no respect at all for me and fought me all the way on every single thing we shot.” Proudpod@gmail.com (646) 481-5476 @Proudlyresents Watch the full movie for free after the jump: Below, my semi professional notes.

We talk Andy Kaufman’s Heartbeeps with Chris Gore, Jenna Busch, Conan/Tonight show writer Josh Comers, comedian Brent Weinbach and R2-D2 (Tommy Bechtold) to talk robot love. Plus Tony Clifton tells racist jokes! Heartbeeps In August Chris Gore asked if I wanted to do a live show where his show “Podcrash” crashes my live show of “Proudly Resents.” Of course I said yes, but I had not idea what I was getting myself into. Listen to the show and behind the scenes stuff on today’s episode. The real Tony Clifton called in the show. He was friends with Andy and something to do with making “Heartbleeps.” In fact, Andy had to do “Heartbleeps” first before they made the Tony Clifton movie. “Heartbleeps” bombed so bad, the TC film was never made. It’s amazing to hear Tony tell the most racist jokes ever. The audience is packed with people dress in cosplay. It was cool to see people dressed as sexy elves get offended. I had to hang up on him. Since he won the “Andy Kaufman Award” I asked Brent Weinbach to do stand up on the show. In honor of Kaufman, I had Brent only do his visual jokes. It seemed like a good idea at the time. This was a fun and funny show. Great times. Watch “Heartbeeps” on Netflix free! Enjoy Comicon Listen to past live shows… “A live Tribute to Troma” With Christian Finnegan (Late Late Show) Mike C.

Filmmaker Jimmy Castor, Jr. Comic Jim Bruce (“The Paul Goebel Show”)and myself bite into 1972’s “Blacula.” Like most vampire films, there’s a blood sucking, bats (what happened to bats?) and a guy named “Skillet.” Afros and wooden stakes are everywhere. The sound is a little different. It’s because we were recording in a cinder block room and because I was giving Jim Bruce crap for his show sounding so bad. Karma! Below are my semi- professional notes. Comic Jim Bruce from “the Paul Goebel show” Filmmaker and fellow spring breaker, Jimmy Castor Today we Proudly Resent 1972’s Blacula Jimmy Castor – you chose this film. Why is that What does it mean? Jim Bruce, what is it about? Woman not helping Gay dudes from the village One lamp lights up the room The coroner complains about his job. – 70’s thing. Like the Flintstones’ bird record player. “It’s a living.” “Two fagot decorators” One strange dude Music. He got the girl right away Skillit Attacking photographer – making “arg” sounds. Sounds like a grandfather chasing his kids. White cop, named Jack. Easy, east, rrrrr He brought his wife vampire hunting. He brought a stake. He knew something was up. Blacula is working the woman. She fell for that Blacula line once. I once told a girl  I was a scout for MTV’s the Grind. Sketch artist drawing a vampire. Like a child’s drawing. What’s next? A stick figure with boobies? Bloody Mary! Why didn’t they go in the warehouse during the day. Vampires don’t turn into bats anymore That helmet was useless Your tomb your tomb your tomb  

Andrew Smith has written for Newhart, Merv, Barbara and even Madonna. Andrew talks about what it was like to write what he thought was his best work only to watch it turn into “Who’s That Girl?” Also, what’s it like to write on the View and how to write a joke. Andrew also wrote for SNL and the Barbara Steisand classic “The Main Event.” Andrew talks about both projects in a future show.

UPDATE:  ROAD HOUSE / POINT BREAK Discussion between films with ROAD HOUSE director Rowdy Herrington; actors Roger Hewlett, Bob Jennings, Kathleen Wilhoite and John Young; cinematographer Dean Cundey and costume designer Marilyn Vance Egyptian Theatre 6712 Hollywood Boulevard Hollywood, CA 90028 Sun, Mar 17, 2019 7:30pm Joel Stein & Kathleen Wilhoite talk “Road House.” Kathleen acted and sang in the movie and gives a candid account of the nuttiness on the set of “Road House.” She talks about the crazy party life on the set and the time Patrick Swayze beat up an extra on camera. As Kathleen puts it, the behind the scenes stories are just as crazy as the movie. Kathleen also talks about playing a singing crack addict on “Cop Rock,” working on ER and few other things she can remember from those days. Kathleen tells some really great stories. Joel is great guest and very funny. Enjoy this episode and share it with friends. Listen to Kathleen’s very funny podcast “Suck the Joy.” Buy Joel Stein great book Man Made. Here are my notes for the interview. We didn’t get to a few of the points because Kathleen was just giving gold and Joel was right on it. Maybe follow these notes when you watch the film. You can get the movie on Netflix:Snail AKA Not Instant. I happen to live 5 blocks from the last remaining BLockbuster in LA. They not only had “Road House,” but the clerk double checked that is wasn’t “Road House 2” and warned me from the sequel. He said it had no plot. He didn’t know that his warnings were tempting me. It’s like tell someone not to date a bad boy. Speaking of bad boys, how crazy is that line!

MST3k’s” Kevin Murphy talks about the history of “Tom Servo,” the show, RiffTrax and why “Manos” is his favorite/least favorite movie ever. Ever. From Wiki- Kevin Wagner Murphy (born November 3, 1956) is an American actor and writer best known as the voice and puppeteer of Tom Servo on the Peabody Award-winning comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000. Murphy also records audio commentary tracks with Michael J. Nelson and Bill Corbett for Nelson’s RiffTrax website. For eleven years Murphy was a writer for MST3K; for nine of those years, he also voiced and operated the robot Tom Servo, replacing original cast member J. Elvis Weinstein. After taking over the role of Servo, an anonymous person sent him a 6-foot-long (1.8 m) banner that read “I HATE TOM SERVO’S NEW VOICE.” Flattered by the enormous amount of effort taken to heckle him, Murphy hung the banner in his office for over a year. During the final three years of the series, he additionally portrayed Professor Bobo, an English-speaking mountain gorilla in the style of Planet of the Apes. After the end of MST3K, Murphy spent the year 2001 going to a different movie every day and wrote a book about this experience, entitled A Year at the Movies: One Man’s Filmgoing Odyssey. During his year at the movies, Murphy samples theatres from small-town boxes to urban megaplexes, attempts (and rejects) a theatre-food diet, suffers a kidney stone, visits both the Sundance and Cannes film festivals, sneaks Thanksgiving dinner into a showing of Monsters, Inc., and records all of these experiences, both good and bad. His feat – viewing over four hundred films on four continents – was mentioned in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Murphy holds a BA in journalism from the University of Utah and an MA in directing for the stage and screen, from the ...
