This week is a monumental episode of JFD! Not just because it's our 13th anniversary! Not just because we're recounting our top 5 and bottom 5 movies over the past year of JFD! Not just because it's almost 4 hours long! But this episode is also the end of an era. This is our final regular weekly show! Not to worry, though, Sean and Parker will return next week with Junk Food Supper, the new abbreviated weekly show AND the gang will reunite once a month to bring you that classic JFD flavor you've come to know and love! So, since this is our final week of regular weekly shows, we're going out with a bang and reviewing 3 classic cult flicks!  Up first, it's been called "the best worst movie" about a family that goes to live in a strange small town for a month but quickly realizes the town is full of goblins (not trolls) in the infamous Troll 2 from 1990.  Then, Charles Bronson is a no nonsense cop who's looking to take down a child sex trafficking ring while wrestling with his own prejudices against the Japanese of this country in Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects from 1989.  And finally, we discuss the granddaddy of all cult musicals, The Rocky Horror Picture Show from 1975 starring Richard O'Brien, Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meatloaf! All this plus calls from our fans, updates you can use, arguments over films we've already watched, cable TV memories, video store memories, art house theater memories, and so much more!

This week: a major milestone in JFD history - the very last ever final PATREON PICKS show! Up first! Mr. Brian commands that we conquest the countryside with our crew from Camelot, in John Boorman's 1981 fog-fest Excalibur, a movie about a sword (and a King Arthur who wields it). Next up! Justin D requested we Raid Atlantis with a rowdy rabble of rascally rockers, in Ruggero Deodato's 1983 flamethrower-fiasco Raiders of Atlantis, a movie about gunfights (and punk rock biker gangs). Finally! Of course, it's 1987's Siesta, because Kevin E requested it. And we all understand what this movie is and why it would be requested, so we'll say nothing more (it's a movie about boobs). All this plus Bowman's ringtone revealed, important show updates, unimportant baseball updates, critical Waffle House updates, all the hottest slang, how to create the ultimate podcaster, a pizza roundtable discussion, acceptance speech impediments, Atlantean disco, nerd news and even more!

We kick off our final month of weekly shows with a shorts film week for the ages. We get weird (and I mean WEIRD) with three very strange short films guaranteed to put you in a bizarre head space. Up first, NYC art weirdos Tommy Turner and David Wojnarowicz create a surreal, lo-fi black & white drug trip loosely based on the (then very recent) murder case involving the Long Island satanic teenage acid head Ricky Kasso in Where Evil Dwells from 1985. Next, we visit the weirdest yard sale ever where everything is too expensive and you must do business with a strange man in a gold mask known only as The Pricemaster. And finally, we're transported to the blandest office in the world, where things are very dry, including the lunch in the 2014 web series Catherine starring Jenny Slate. All this plus weird weather, Kevin goes to the movies, Portland Paul runs down his hits and misses, Cocaine Bear chat, nudie cuties and so much more!

It's time for JFD Rewind Episode Number NINE! As we perfunctorily/redundantly explain at the head of each of these annual compilation clip shows, your charming Junk Food Dinner hosts are unwilling and/or unable to perform their regular duties in this very hectic holiday time period. However, as has been explained prior, this inability to produce a new weekly show does not preclude us from our obligation to deliver some form of audio content to the feed. So it's come to this again: yet another?!?!!$@#! Junk Food Dinner clip show. As we're fond of both the elements of surprise and laziness, we'll forgo the usual descriptors here as to what the actual contents of this cut-and-pasted effort truly are. If you're the sort of curious cat who'd actually donloyd this thing, you'll listen along with us and discover what made the cut for this year's compilation. And if not, you could still pretend you did and probably fool us. That said, we're using this year's edition as a tribute to fallen heroes from this past year. If y'all love what ya hear, sign up for our Patreon thing to throw us a few bones (in exchange for some boners). All this plus witty banter between friends, ghosts of podcast friendship, beast mode Kevin, zero Nerd Newsies, no week's DVD & blu-ray releases, partial confidentiality, continued lack of overt police involvement, newscasters aplenty, musical interludes, drippy noses, wanton sneezes, spooky belches, sinister gleeks and just enough more!

This week: the standard JFD lineup is back to review a trio of non-standard flicks selected by the standard-bearers of good taste (our Patreon donors)! Up first! Audiences agree, Sam Peckinpah sure is good at smashing up mack trucks. It's the stick-it-to-the-man classic Convoy (from 1978, as all trucker movies are)!

This week on Junk Food Dinner, while Sean is out exploring Japan, we go back to the original JFD recipe and conjure up the ghost of original JFD host Mr. Mark Freado Jr. to explore three very different flicks.  Up first, Count Dracula has opened his castle up to tourist in an attempt to find a rare blood type to bring his long dormant wife back to life.
