If you hated last week’s film, Crocodile Dundee 2 (1988), then there’s good news for you – the sequel, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001) is rated 1% higher on Rotten Tomatoes, clocking in at a glorious 11%. This is a film not to be missed! If you can make it through to the end (mercifully it’s quite a short film), there will be some nice bonus content as a proverbial carrot on a stick to get us through this AIDS-tier shitefest. Move over Cop and a Half, there’s a new contender for the Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot crown as the worst film ever shown on CaB TV.

Thursday Throwback (03.09.20)

Our evening block has a mid eighties theme: we have a Crimewatch and an edition of the Nine O’Clock News from 1984, then some mindless action film stupidity with Arnie’s Commando (1985), followed by an episode of computing magazine programme Micro Live taking us to closedown.

Drag Me to Hell (2009)

In Drag Me to Hell; Sam Raimi’s first return to the horror genre since the acclaimed Evil Dead trilogy, we follow a loan officer (Alison Lohman, Beowulf), who chooses not to extend an elderly woman’s mortgage for self-serving reasons.

a few changes to the schedule – since i’ve been able to recover the last episode of 1990 which crashed and burned into pixelated oblivion last week – this means that there is another week to vote on the movie for next week. it currently stands at Morons from outer space 1* – A bit of Tom Jones 2
(* denotes an away goal from a previously tied vote. if this vote is tied on normal votes it is the deciding vote – if not, then the advantage is lost and we go back to normal for the next vote.

I’ve delayed the start of Snakes and Ladders as a continuity based decision – screening Shadows this week and next means that Snakes and Ladders will end at the same time as the another programme and allow ample time on the schedule for a film to be screened.…
