The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" found a subject that will finally appeal to their senses: women being converted into bee-esque killers who murder men through exhaustive sexual activity. The 1973 exploitation film, at one time called "Graveyard Tramps," is actually written by Nicholas Meyer, the man who would later write "Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan" and "Fatal Attraction." So yeah. You can watch the movie via Netflix instant streaming and make sure to synch up your audio. Enjoy the guys discussion over the particulars of Jack-and-Jill style hill-rolling copulation, an Ernest porn parody, coroners with ascots, ignorance of bee biology, and lots of discussion over the 1970s being covered in certain fluids.

Listen away! Also available on iTunes!

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are recovering from 2010's woefully misguided adaptation of the classic tale, The Nutcracker. Add some Nazi rats, John Turturro looking like Andy Warhol, some strange messages, Albert Einstein, some strange songs, some unfortunate dancing, and too much Holocaust imagery, and you've got a terrible idea and a terrible execution of a holiday classic. The guys try and make sense of the film, wonder how dark a children's movie can get, and question why Einstein would make a good babysitter.

In Eric's absence, Ben and Nate watched and then recorded their stunned reactions to the Full Moon Pictures' horror release, "Ooga Booga," about a killer African stereotype doll inhabited with the spirit of a slain black man. Yeah, you better believe it's pretty racist. Nate and Ben discuss the most outrageous moments and elements from the movie while also discussing the fine line between ironic commentary on race and sloppy shock value. Stacy Keach, what are you doing in this garbage? Also, for the racist in your family, make sure you collect the whole set of culturally insensitive dolls the movie trots out, which it is literally selling. Good God. And that's just scratching the surface with this movie.
