EDITOR’S NOTE: Rituals was on the CBS Late Movie on February 26, 1980 and January 6, 1982. Canada, with your tax shelters and movies that are far north of odd, remains our constant bastion and perhaps a place to run to. Director Peter Carter also made a movie called High-Ballin ’, and it wasn’t a porno; […]
Week 14 (Sept. 20 – 26) – THE END! Post-Apocalyptic Cinema: Make sure to pull the ladder up on the way out A nuclear holocaust—the Final War— has done wonders for the local leather industry. Society crumbles, governments fall, and suddenly everyone dresses to impress as they take to the radioactive dunes on dirt bikes, sporting asymmetrical […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Lords of Flatbush was on the CBS Late Movie on October 26, 1979. Martin Davidson made his directorial debut with this film. You may know him better from Eddie and the Cruisers. You may not know him from the John Ritter vehicle Hero at Large. Stephen Verona wrote and co-directed it, and years later […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: No Other Love was on the CBS Late Movie on October 6, 1982 and November 1, 1983. Before The Other Sister, there was this movie, which has Richard Thomas (John-Boy from The Waltons* to some, Shad in Battle Beyond the Stars to me) and Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson!) as mentally challenged adults who want to get […]
If you find a spacious New York apartment for $285 a month — even in 1987 — you aren’t getting a bargain. You’re probably getting a ticket to hell, baby. Sandy Darhaus (Perry Lang) is a yuppie investment banker with the kind of high-strung, large-ham energy that makes you root for the ghosts from minute […]

Week 14 (Sept. 20 – 26) – THE END! Post-Apocalyptic Cinema: Make sure to pull the ladder up on the way out At the end of the world, we will all have to be part of the high-stakes, white-knuckle world of aggressive corporate towing. Yes, it’s Driving Force, a bizarre sci-fi action hybrid directed by A.J. Prowse. […]

Check out this documentary from when Erik and Phillip came to Pittsburgh and explored some of our movie locations. AC Nicholas and I show up! I love when people come to my hometown and enjoy it.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Bad Georgia Road was on the CBS Late Movie on January 23, 1981. Released around a month after Smokey and the Bandit to drive-ins across the American South by Dimension Pictures, this played double bills with The Great Smokey Roadblock or Hi-Riders. It follows city slicker Molly Golden (Carol Lynley), who learns she’s […]
