Media Montage Podcast 91: The Pulps



Doc Savage, Conan The Barbarian and Cthulu! What do they all have in common? 

They were born of the pulp magazines of the early 20th century. This week Larry and Bruce take a look at pulp fiction and the legacy of those cheap, lowest common denominator entertainments. 

How have the pulps influenced the modern media landscape? 

Why have the pulp heroes had trouble being adapted to film?  What is the legacy of the Shadow, Doc Savage and the Phantom?  All that and more in Episode 91 of the Media Montage Podcast! A listener request by @Kirbstomp13

Media Montage Podcast 57: Snake Eater (1989)






Lorenzo Lamas IS Soldier Kelly in Snake Eater! 

One man versus a rapey band of hillybilly killers. Set in a vague, ill-defined swampy area, this 1989 movie pays painful homage to Lethal Weapon, Rambo, Miami Vice, Death Wish, Chuck Norris, and other 80s action films.  

It also managed to spawn 2 sequels, that, against our better judgment, we agreed to revisit in the future. We take a look at what we loved and hated about this movie (mostly hated). 

See if Bruce and Larry survive their encounter with Snake Eater. . . in episode 57 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Media Montage 36: Iron Eagle (1986)





In this episode Bruce and Larry look at ‘crackerjack fighter pilot picture’ Iron Eagle from 1986 starring Lou Gossett Jr. and Jason Gedrick, with a bit part by the always adorable Shawnee Smith:


Jingoistic Mid-80s foreign policy, some dicey special effects, and skyrocketing gas prices all figure into this very 80s actioner. 

Here is the awesome King Kobra video featureing Lou Gossett Jr.:
