Matt D on Junk Food Dinner

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of being a guest on my favorite cult movie podcast, Junk Food Dinner! I know I’ve been talking about them a lot lately, but they’re great guys and I really support their cause.

I brought Psychos In Love (which I also recently talked about, get used to it) to the table, and to my surprise nobody on the show had seen it before.

Junk Food Dinner is ready to party- with you! This week Mr. Matt D. from Forbidden Planet joins us for the show. So settle in as we kick things off with Gorman Bechard and Carmine Capobianco’s hilariously-gory-romantic-splatterfest Psychos in Love from 1987. Up next we sink our claws into (and nearly expose ourselves to the potential risk of seziures) 2004’s Cutie Honey. Finally, some people you may have heard of from other movies take part in the source of a lifelong nightmare of Parker’s when we take a look at Invaders from Mars from 1986.

(Don’t forget! If you’re in NYC today (3/1/11) come to Project Parlor in Bed-Stuy (742 Myrtle Ave.) for Junk Food Dinner and Project Parlor Present hosted by Mark Freado, Jr. and Kevin Merryman! Starting at 9PM!)

Thanks a bunch for having me on guys, it was a total blast!

A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay.

He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
