Evil Twins (podcast 38)

This time, music was provided once again by Je Suis France, off their newly released full-length Afrikan Majik, which you can buy here. The first song was "The Love of the France" and the last was "That Don't Work That Well for Us." Good stuff, dudes, and they have a brief upcoming tour, too, so go check 'em out if you like 20-minute bongo jams.

We revisited our old buddy Dr. Phibes in Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), a sequel that is inferior, as many sequels are, but is still probably worth your time, especially if you like that ancient Egyptian stuff. It stars mostly the same crop of people, most notably Vincent Price, but adds Robert Quarry. Also, I'm going to point out Terry-Thomas, as he's a favorite of Jared's. Valli Kemp, who plays Vulnavia this time around, has some strange IMDB photos. It was directed, as was the previous one, by Robert Fuest. You can read about a lot of what was supposed to happen but was cut for budget reasons on the IMDB trivia page.

There are several pretty great posters for this movie, but these two are my favorites:



Of course, neither of these things appears in the movie at all.

Also, here's a screencap of the guy whose flesh is eaten off by a sandstorm in his own car.


Finally, here's the trailer:

The other film we talk about is Eat My Dust (1976), which would be followed by Grand Theft Auto (1977). The earlier film merely stars Ron Howard and his entire family, but the later one would be directed by him (and star his entire family). Eat My Dust also features a gal named Christopher Norris, a cameo by Paul Bartel, and a very young Corbin Bernsen. It was directed by Charles Griffith, who worked for Roger Corman in a lot of different capacities.

Here's the poster, in which you can see Howard's rebel cap quite clearly.



And here he is displaying his awesome windbreaker.


Finally, here's the trailer. It makes about as much sense as the movie does.
