The astronauts explore an artificial giant pyramid structure, and one by one they're brutally murdered by monsters that appear to manifest their personal fears. FAMOUS FOR: One particularly ridiculous death scene, in which technical officer Dameia (Taaffe O'Connell, or more accurately, her body double) is raped by a giant alien slug-worm thing and dies from the power of her own orgasm. It's far, far worse than it sounds. Apparently this scene was written because Roger Corman had promised investors that there would be a sex scene. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR: The production design of Alien on the budget and sci-fi aesthetic of Barbarella. Everything -- from the space suits' flashlights cutting through the dark fog on the planet's surface, t

http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-002-OnDeadlyGround.mp3 Download MP3 PLOT SYNPOSIS: Big Oil employee Forrest Taft (Steven Seagal) discovers that his boss, Michael Jennings (Michael Caine) is deliberately constructing faulty oil rigs in Alaska to beat a deadline. Left for dead in a trap set by Jennings's hatchet-man MacGruder (John C. McGinley), Taft is revived by eskimos and embarks on a spiritual quest to stop Jennings once and for all. FAMOUS FOR: Seagal's big film-closing, action-genre-defiant environmentalist speech, which (according to IMDB) originally ran a staggering 11 minutes, but was subsequently edited and now only feels that long. Also, this film attained the coveted Rotten Tomatoes perfect score of 0% fresh. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR: Some of the most conspicuous hyperboles ever used to describe an action hero, especially one whose day job involves preventing oil spills. It turns out he's also the kind of guy who drinks a gallon of gasoline so he can piss on your campfire. He's far worse

FAMOUS FOR: The hit song "Kiss," and pretty much nothing else. Even though its level of camp has to be seen to be believed, Under the Cherry Moon has been largely forgotten over the years, even by rabid Prince fans, perhaps because it's not as infamously atrocious as Prince's next disaster, Graffiti Bridge. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR: Truly disturbing kissing scenes, with tongues slipping out all over the place. Also, Jerome Benton's inexplicably Oscar-snubbed performance near the end. For our premiere podcast, we welcome special guest Sally, or as he apparently prefers to be  called, "Jonathan." Sally composed our theme music, which sounds sort of like, but is legally not the same as, the theme from Buckaroo Banzai. And that's exactl
