Two tastes that you never knew never went together. It’s my favorite ape movie, Beneath the Planet of the Apes and Operation Kid Brother. Get ready for everyone to die, including the entire planet, and Sean Connery to get upset.
In this episode, bon vivant and raconteur A.C. Nicholas defends a movie that he loves: late 70s sketch comedy on film Americathon.
A.C. is a writer, stand-up comedian, voiceover artist, former radio DJ, former drive-in projectionist and so much more. He hosts a monthly screening at the Babylon Kino theater and can often be seen on Drive-In Asylum Double Feature and heard on various podcasts! You can find him on Facebook and YouTube.
Each October, the Unsung Horrors podcast does a month of themed movies. This year, this event benefits Best Friends, which is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across America, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

This week, it’s 60s and 70s pop culture, as The Maltese Bippy has Rowan and Martin from Laugh-In and Go Ask Alice is the scare movie that had kids ask, “Should I do acid?”

Welcome to a new feature on the podcast, where I’ll have guests come on and defend movies they love, particularly ones that aren’t well-loved.
When you hear Celeste de la Cabra, you should expect to learn something. I’ll let her explain herself: “I’m a leftist, an anti-fascist, an ethical vegan, non-binary, queer, and an atheist. Stating this up front is important because these things are important to me and will naturally inform my biases and analyses. I’m not interested in pretending to be neutral on social issues or politics. I approach every film I watch as a piece of art, rather than just content or entertainment, and I aim to encourage others to do the same.”
This episode, Celeste and I discuss Trog, a movie that many look down on. I was honored to have her on as my first guest and look forward to return appearances.
Man, this week, we get into Domino and 976-Evil 2. Never let anyone say that we don’t cover the classiest of films or the most normal ones. You can watch Domino on YouTube and 976-Evil 2 on YouTube.
Yes, everyone can talk about All the Colors of the Dark and Torso, but let’s get deep into Sergio Martino with four of my favorite weird picks from him.
Uppercut Man finds Sergio in Miami, making a boxing movie that isn’t like any other. Ernest Borgnine, Daniel Greene, Mary Stavin, Giuliano Gemma…Crud Buddies have this posted on YouTube.
American Rickshaw is the most perfect of all late Martino movies: shower sex with the jeans on, rickshaws in Miami, Donald Pleasence as a faith healing warthog…get it from Cauldron Video.
Graffiante desiderio has Sergio going back to the Giallo but also incest and a dummy drop ending. Craving Desire is hard to find but if you’re ready to infest your computer with viruses, go here.
Un orso chiamato Arturo has George Segal and Carol Alt. Yes, in a Sergio Martino movie. It’s on YouTube in Italian, so learn a new language.
Is there a secret prize for finishing this episode? Did I compose a song for it? What are you waiting for? Go listen!
