The Killer Remake
Friday Aug 30, 2024
Friday Aug 30, 2024
John and Hunter are joined by Garo as they cover John Woo's remake of his own classic, "The Killer." Was this a bad idea? You probably know the answer already, but we discuss it anyway. We also discuss the ups and downs of Woo's career, his forgotten comedies, and why recapturing those glory days in Hong Kong is always out of reach.

Manly Wade Wellman
Friday Aug 16, 2024
Friday Aug 16, 2024
John and Eric review the film and tv adaptations of legendary pulp writer Manly Wade Wellman. From TWILIGHT ZONE to NIGHT GALLERY to THE LEGEND OF HILLBILLY JOHN and even MONSTERS, the MMC has Manly's legacy covered.
It's another insightful, funny and (dare we say) literary episode of the MMC.

Horizon (Musings from someone who has actually seen it)
Sunday Jul 28, 2024
Sunday Jul 28, 2024
Auxillary cowboy Eric Zaldivar has seen Kevin Costner's 3 hour but still incomplete epic in the theater. Midnight Movie Cowboy, John, has not. See if the latter can guess what goes on in the movie event of the summer without having seen a frame of it in this mini episode (which is considerably shorter than HORIZON).

Nintendo 64 Memories
Monday Jul 15, 2024
Monday Jul 15, 2024
Awhile ago, Hunter sat down with fellow millennials Eric Zaldivar and Zolly Becker for an episode looking back on the defining video game console of the 90s, the Nintendo 64. We look back at what made it special and unique, things about it that are criticized and/or misunderstood, and generally other things that the gen x and boomer types on the show just couldn't relate to, with their music that sounds like da Ramones and disco movies. This episode was recorded a few months back, so some references may be dated.

How many Paul Hogan jokes will Garo throw at Stu? All this and more on a very special, highly anticipated episode of the MMC.

Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
John Grace and Eric Zaldivar interview Steve Cattani, producer of the incredible 2016 documentary DECONSTRUCTING DUNNING. This criminally underseen film tells the story of Douglas Dunning, who is an "Act.Tor," a legendary figure of Hollywood Boulevard street culture, played a Klingon in Star Trek 6 and may or may not have been framed for terrorism.
Steve reveals the shocking truth behind the scenes with exclusive stories about this long-in-the-making feature. Be sure to listen to the whole show (even during Stu's outro), so you can hear exclusive messages from Douglas Dunning himself!

Darker Than Amber [1970]
Friday Jun 14, 2024
Friday Jun 14, 2024
We're back for another episode. On this one, John is joined again by Eric Zaldivar, to discuss the South Florida neo-noir picture DARKER THAN AMBER, starring Aussie bloke Rod Taylor as the O.G. Florida man Travis McGee.
Very much the missing link between 60's action and 70's tough guy cinema, DARKER THAN AMBER is mostly known for a climactic, bone crushing fist fight but it has so much more to offer to the patient than that.
So press "play" and find out what that is in the latest installment of The Midnight Movie Cowboys!

Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Hunter is once again joined for a Midnight Millennial Cowboys by Eric Zaldivar and Zolly Becker to mark the occasion of the re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in the theater. Here we look back at the cultural events surrounding its release, the ebb and flow of Star Wars in the culture, and how the film was George Lucas' final authentic expression as a filmmaker. No smarmy Gen X takes, no RLM nitpicking, just what Star Wars meant at the time in 1999.

Monday Apr 01, 2024
Hey gang, we are back with a new episode, well, we aren't, but our newest affiliate is. Gang, we've been missing for a while because we have secretly been working on securing this gentleman to join our MMC network. It took a few months, but finally, we can announce that none other than John Waters himself has his own podcast right here on the MMC.
You see we were contacted by Mr. Waters back in late 2023, he enjoyed our show and wanted to express himself with a new format besides film, when we suggested he start his own podcast - he was all for it. We offered to house the great man here and after a bit of back and forth, he accepted.
So please welcome the legendary John Waters to the MMC. We think you'll love it.
More regular MMC episodes are on the way, just sit tight
For now though, sit back and enjoy Mr. John Waters, along with a few of his special guests.

John and Hunter ring in the new year with some wrasslin' kino as they dig in to Sean Durkin's "The Iron Claw," the film chronicling the triumph and many tragedies of the Von Erich wrestling dynasty. They discuss the movie, the accuracies and lack thereof, and the historical context for the film.

Phantasm (1979)
Friday Dec 22, 2023
Friday Dec 22, 2023
Hey gang, well after a horrifically long wait, we present to you, our Halloween episode.... recorded in November.... released just before Christmas. Anyway life has been at breakneck speed for some of us, hence why this episode of so so very late, but it's here now.
On this one, the 3 of us sit down and discuss the Don Coscarelli horror favourite - Phantasm, no wait, isn't it The Never Dead? Depending on which part of the world you lived in, you knew it as either one or the other.
This episode isn't very long (just over an hour) but it is crammed with al things Phantasm, the odd tangent is there, but that's to be expected.
Anyway, again, apologies for the lateness of this. The MMC WILL be back in full swing in 2024, we just needed a break for a bit (hey we have been doing this 13 years, we do get tired ya know)
Enjoy
Have a Merry Christmas all, and a safe and Happy New Year

Wednesday Sep 27, 2023
Hey gang, we are finally back with a new episode, and to help us out with our discussion, is returning guest and fellow wrestling mark - Wolfie T (From the excellent Watch This Movie podcast).
We discuss the 2000 WCW produced film Ready To Rumble. A film maligned when it came out, unjustly possibly? Well we give our thoughts on it, and a whole bunch of wrestling tangents to boot.
Anyway, again, apologies for the lateness, we are now back on normal scheduling, recording a new episode shortly.

The Abominable Dr. Phibes [1971]
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Hey gang, after an incredibly long time between episodes (blame Stu, it's all his fault) we are finally back, and there are a few things different at the MMC. All is explained within.
On this one Stu and John do something the MMC has never done before in 13 years of the show - cover a Vincent Price film. No, we have never covered one - until now.
We look at the this twisted tale of Dr. Anton Phibes in the first of the 2 Phibes films that we will be covering.
This episode doesn't run too long, but there is no filler on this one (mostly) there is some Bruce Lee chat, but of course.
Anyway, next time will not be so long between episodes, circumstances, with a dash of laziness is what has stalled this one, but it's here now.
Get on it.

Monday Apr 17, 2023
Hey Paesano's, we are back with a new episode. This week the 3 of us are joined by Super Millennial Bros. Eric Zaldivar and Zolly Becker, to discuss the 1993 super flop - Super Mario Bros.
A film with a huge cult following, some of us love it, some of us do not. All of us offer our arguments for, and against it, because once you have seen this film, you cannot unsee it.
So sit back, and listen on, as we discuss this much maligned film.
Also, shout outs to the following podcasts, that we think you should check out.
WTM Watch This Movie, featuring the great men Eric Mulder and Wolfie T.

What's happening gang? With the runaway success, and high praise that John Wick 4 is receiving worldwide, the 3 of us, along with friend and regular contributor Garo Nigoghossian, decided to sit down and discuss John Wick 4.
As you know, we here at the MMC, do not tow the Hollywood line, so opinions on this may be not to everybody's satisfaction... or are they?
To answer this question, you'll just need to listen on, and find out.

Look Back On Anger
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Hi gang, well, finally, after over a dozen years, an MMC 'planned show' has been realized.
One of the first episodes planned way back before we ever recorded anything (July 2010 to be exact), Stu wanted to do a retrospective look at the works of Kenneth Anger, and finally it is here.
We are joined by returning guest (and Anger afficionado) Dan Seitler, to discuss Anger's films. From the bizarre to masochistic, and everything in between, it's all covered here.
We want to thank Dan for coming on, had we done this episode way back when, it would not have turned out a fraction as good, or as informative as this one.

We talk all things Dick Tracy, Warren Beatty, and just for good measure, we go off on a bunch of tangents also.
It all makes for good, humorous octogenarian, detective fun.
