This week we go to the dog pound to talk about Vice Squad and Jaws of the Dragon at the Woods Theatre, a double that Siskel & Ebert named "Dog of the Week" in January 1982. We certainly liked one of the movies more than they did. What do you think? #vicesquad #jawsofthedragon #siskelandebert #dogoftheweek #doublefeature #chicago #kungfu #cultmovies #grindhouse #1980s

EVILSPEAK was released on February 26, 1982.
When the Music Box Of Horrors screened this cult classic last October, we asked the inimitable McBeardo to introduce it for us!
Sadly Mike passed away late last year but it’s wonderful to hear that psychotronic passion again.
Richard Corben’s 1969 short NEVERWHERE combined animation & live action & introduced the world to the artist’s most popular character Den, laying the groundwork for his segment in HEAVY METAL (1981).
Riggs provided two tunes for HEAVY METAL (1981)—“Radar Rider” & “Heartbeat”—but drummer Steve Carlisle is best known for singing the theme to WKRP IN CINCINNATI, which was composed by Tom Wells with lyrics by Hugh Wilson.

THE STEWARDESSES (1969) was a 3D softcore picture that played at Chicago’s Loop theater in 1971
The film was shot by Christopher Bell in the new StereoVision process that the cinematographer would go on to use on JAWS 3D (1983). Shot in 35MM, the film was even blown up to 70MM.
Say what you want about Universal’s re-editing of Toho’s King Kong vs Godzilla (1962), but adding two play-by-play announcers to the film really gives it that “Big Fight” feel. How can you resist in-depth analysis like this? #Kong #Godzilla #kongvsgodzilla #1960s #Toho #Universal
