John and Hunter delve into the documentary Milius, a film about the life and career of John Milius, which makes a good excuse to talk about the films Milius wrote and directed as well. Stuart is still on tour with the Thunder from Down Under, and will return in mid-June.

SQUEAL LIKE A PIG!!!! A phrase, unfortunately, too commonly used, when uneducated people discuss the American South. In this episode, we don't discuss Deliverance, instead we discuss the 1981 film Southern Comfort. We are joined also by a guy from the South, Mr Matt Dawson, AKA Saint RPH from the great Soopermexican podcast.
Here we discuss the film, dispel some Southern myths, rip into KISS, talk a little bit of Ted Nugent, and a whole bunch more.
See y'all next week

John Timothy Keehan AKA Count Dante was marketed as 'The deadliest man alive' in the 1970's. His advert was usually found in the pages of Marvel Comics.
Not a great deal is known about Count Dante, and after his sudden death in 1975, his mystical persona reached epic heights.
Now, a new documentary about the controversial Count Dante is in production, and we here at the Midnight Movie Cowboys, are pleased to be speaking with, and being educated about Count Dante by documentary filmmaker Floyd Webb.
Join Stu and John (again, no Hunter, he is definitely back next week) along with Floyd, in a discussion about one of the most mysterious and controversial Martial Artists ever.

Politics, Politics, Politics. That is the theme for this week. On this episode we are thrilled to be joined by Bill O'Keefe AKA DefendWallSt. from Soopermexican's podcast.
On this one we discuss the documentary 'The War Room', a behind the scenes documentary on Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign trail.
We discuss this film, and also go extensively into the whole 1992 Clinton campaign trail itself.
Whilst politics may sound boring, we think you may find this episode quite informative about the state of American politics then and it's current state now.
Thanks for listening
See you all next week

DREAMS WITH SHARP TEETH is a documentary of Harlan Ellison, prolific short story writer, science fiction convention cult of personality and perpetual crank. Hunter and John (No Stu this week, as he'd never heard of the guy) discuss whether the documentary captures the essence of Harlan's appeal, or lack thereof. And yes, the producers of THE TERMINATOR did settle with Ellison on a plagiarism charge. Ellison also wrote the famous Star Trek episode "City On the Edge of Forever," but we don't get into that too much. An informative episode that'll have you Googling so much, you'll go back to Ask Jeeves.

Here's one from the vault for ya's. Whilst available as a site only download, it has never been available on the feed, and seeing as we are having difficulties with the episode that should have been this week's one (that will be next week, promise) we thought we'd get this little discussion Hunter and Stu had alllll the way back in October 2010 about a wonderful little indy film called OPEN FIVE out to your ears.
Once you've listened to this, go watch the film AND the now available sequel OPEN FIVE 2. Or, if you prefer to watch the film then listen to our discussion, do that also. Either way, check these films out.
See you next Wednesday

The death of Phillip Seymour Hoffman shocked film fans around the world. in this week's episode, Hunter and Stu (for the first time ever in his time in the MMC, no John) look at one of his lesser known, but by no means lesser effort, films - Owning Mahowny.
We also highlight the correlation of Hoffman's character portrayal of hopeless Gambling addict - Dan Mahowny, alongside the real life addictions of Hoffman himself.

Looking Good !!!!! A phrase heard, and used commonly throughout the 70's, thanks to one individual, our subject for this episode - Freddie Prinze. No, not Freddie Prinze Jr. instead we look at his father, and his meteoric rise to fame at age 18, only to lose everything, by his own hand at the tender age of 22.
We look at his television film 'Million Dollar Rip Off', the 1979 biopic on him 'Can You Hear the Laughter', and of course, we look at the role of Chico Rodriguez in 'Chico and the Man', the show which catapulted him to fame in 1974.
Sit back with us, and learn about the highly talented, fascinating, and tragic figure that is Freddie Prinze.

Let the truth be told, we here at the Midnight movie Cowboys LOVE Al Leong. Al who you ask? You may not know his name, but we promise you, you will know his face.
Anyway, John alerted us to a documentary currently in production Henchman: The Al Leong story. Not one to let an opportunity to pass us by, we hit up the Producer / Director of this epic project, Matt Olivo. A cool ass guy, with a lot of great stories about Al.
Here is the finished result of that conversation we had a few nights back.
Throughout the course of Matt's documentary on Al Leong, we will be catching up with him every so often to see how things are progressing. The picture below says it all.

Here we are folks, as promised at the end of our CRASH CINEMA episode, we said once ANCHORMAN 2 was released, we'd have our guest, the Armenian madman, and staunch Obama supporter (hehe) Garo Nigoghossian, back on.... and we do !!!
After 9 long years, a fake twitter account that sent Hollywood abuzz with rumours of a sequel, and a whole lot of anticipation. We finally got to see ANCHORMAN 2.
So, you're asking yourself, what did we think of it? Well, you will need to listen on and see what all of us, including Garo's one black friend thought of it.
In typical Midnight Movie Cowboys ADD style of podcasting, we can't just stick to a review of the film, so the last 30 mins spirals into some light-hearted, unbiased, political chat (trust us, its not the boring old type of political chat you're accustomed to)
On a final note, we want to thank every one of you who listen to, and support this show, we do this for YOU. Thank you so much.
See you all in 2014.

To help us talk all things Alec Baldwin's massive public meltdown, is a man, who has, literally, contributed to it, via his epic battles on Twitter. Soopermexican !!!!
So epic was Soopermexican's twitter war with Baldwin, that it made Fox News.
It also led to this

This week we have something a bit different. John and Hunter are joined by infamous 'zine author David Austin to discuss Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy, a story of an obsessive comedy fan named Rupert Pupkin.
The main topic is the recent crack-up among the staff of Rupert Pupkins at Fangoria, involving plagiarism, backstabbing, and how there is a little bit of that Pupkin guy in all of us.

Bye Gino.
2 words that sparked a catch-cry in Melbourne in the early 80's (and still get's used from time to time by some folks). In this episode, Stu, along with the help of Rob, discuss the 1983 independent film Moving Out.
We also take a look at the parallels of the cultural diversity in the film against our own background (more so Rob being of a strong European one).
Listen in ya wogs, and learn what it's like to be a minority in this great country known as Australia, and of course, in this great city of Melbourne.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - Oi, Oi, Oi !!!! Hey all, Stuart here with my side project Oz-Ploination that I am doing during my absence from the MMC (I will be back with my podcasting cohorts in a few months, promise) However, in the meantime, I will be doing this mini series, along with the help of an old friend of mine, Robert Butina, joining me, we look, and appreciate all things in Australian films (predominantly from the 70's and 80's).
First film off the rank, is one of the seminal comedies of our time, from 1980, it's THE CLUB.
Rob and I talk not only about the film, but our many encounters at football games we have gone to over the last quarter of a century, and the state of football these days as we know it, there are some stories in there I can promise you.
Please note: I have started using new equipment, and this episode was the first time I have ever used it for a podcast. I didn't quite get the settings right, but I will get there.
Cheers all.

We take a look at the 2 varying cuts of KISS' film from 1978 KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK, and it's 1979 theatrical version ATTACK OF THE PHANTOMS.

Well Hello there pilgrim, excuse me while I change back into my male swag... ah that's enough implying the Duke was a cross dresser. On this episode, Hunter and John (no Stu this one) look at the work of John Wayne, and in particular the 1961 film The Comancheros.
So put on your spurs and ten gallon hat, grab a brew, go easy on the injun, and listen along with us.

What drums say? New...Midnight..Movie..Cowboys...episode...where..we..talk..about ...Phantom.
Stu and John (Hunter is absent on this episode) discuss all things of the Ghost who walks. His foray onto the big screen via a Columbia serial in the 40's, to his big budget adventure in the 90's, to a new type of Phantom on the small screen in the 2000's.
We also try to get to the bottom of how did The Phantom become such a cultural phenomenon in Australia back in the 80's and remains one to the present day.
Sit back in the Skull Cave with us and listen on

Yeeeaaahhh, here is one from the vault.... sort of. All the way back in August 2010, 2 guys, Hunter and Stu, decided to start a podcast. It was to be called Midnight Movie Cowboys.
What you have here is the very first ever recording of the MMC.
Now, this episode has been available before - only as a hard to find, site only download - but has never been available on the feed - until now.
Anyway, for the first ever MMC recording, we decided to do a commentary on Rob Zombie's (yes our old sparring partner) questionable re-imagining of HALLOWEEN. Here is how it all started, and how it went down.
You will need the Directors cut of HALLOWEEN on Blu-Ray to sync up with us
Enjoy.
P.S - Please disregard in the original intro by Stu about the availability of the PAL and NTSC DVD versions of this recording. They were available for a limited time, but are no longer.

Da da da dunt dun duh... you know how it goes. Here on this episode, Hunter, John and returning special guest Shaun Davis (AKA Haddonfield Hatchet) from the super awesome Land of the Creeps podcast talk the latest Zack Snyder flick MAN OF STEEL.
No Stu on this one due to a semi boycott (or more like Australian ticket prices are a joke).
How did the guys find it? Listen on as they give a brief rundown on Superman in cinema, then a discussion on Man of Steel.

On this episode, we, along with our returning guest host Garo Nigoghossian, take a roundtable look at Mr. Zombie's latest... effort - The Lords of Salem. What did we think of it? Did we like it? Did we wanna burn every known existing print of it? Listen on and find out.

Ah, bootlegs. We all know they exist, and as our whistle blower is about to tell you, it is rampant, especially, with Martial Arts films. We are joined this time around by our film making buddy Garo Nigoghossian. Listen as he lifts the lid on what went on in the old days of vhs, and the infant stages of dvd.
We also have Garo explain his account of how the twitter sensation that was (and still is) Fake Paramount came to be.
You can find Garo on Facebook here
You can also check out the trailer for his upcoming film 'Dangerous People' on Vimeo here (be warned, it has some nudity, for those of you who have lived under a rock all your life).
*PLEASE NOTE: The audio on this episode suffers a little from reverb due to the severe restraints we had on recording. We were forced to try another method, which was not our usual style. It won't detract from the (what can be very strong) subject matter at hand.
Enjoy
