To hell with the Walking Dead -- we got the swimming dead, and they're Nazis! Behold "ZOMBIE LAKE"!

Achtung, bad movie fans!

Zombies have had quite a resurgence in the last few years, but they never might have come back if it was up to a horrible little treasure called "Zombie Lake."

A French film from 1981, this wacko shambler posits a laconic rural town where a small lake is home to a division of undead Nazi soldiers, whose favorite food is female skinnydippers.  It turns out the feeding frenzy is revenge for the town fighting back against the German occupation during World War II.  Add in some human-on-zombie lovin', terrible makeup, fantastically bad dubbing, and you got yourself a heap of cinematic awesome.

Peep the trailer below, which is spoiler-tastic and very NSFW.

We are pleased to welcome as our co-host this month ADAM SPIELGELMAN, host of the excellent cult movie podcast Proudly Resents.  You will bear witness to his acumen of a dug-in VHS junkie and his excellent comedic skills.

Speaking of comedy, we will also welcome two amazing stand-ups for our evening of mockery -- JOSH COMERS (Conan, Comedy Central Roasts) and JOHN UNGARO (Stonecutters L.A., NerdTerns).  However, our big comedy stars will be you -- you will heckle the movie into submission, and if your one-liner is deemed hilarious, you'll shuffle home with a special prize.  Don't forget we have free popcorn, too!

Get your tickets now at a discount at the link above, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and get on our email list.  We're anxious to eat your flesh!

Chomp,

Choose to accept the "LASER MISSION"!

Zap!

That's the sound of April's HMN selection arriving in your face.  All the way from 1989, it's "Laser Mission."

Brandon Lee (son of kung-fu legend Bruce Lee) stars as CIA operative Michael Gold, tasked with bringing a laser scientist (played by Ernest Borgnine, who sports a vague and ridiculous eastern European accent) back to the US from Cuba.  At least we think it's Cuba, as we suddenly are in Africa about a quarter into the movie.  Once the scientist is kidnapped, Michael teams up with the scientist's daughter (Debi Monahan).  Much exploding and bulleting ensues.  Add in some time-travelled Nazis, and a bumbling pair of KGB agents, and you got enough bad cinema to eat for weeks.

FRIDAY!  Once again, we are roasting on a Friday, so don't show up on Saturday -- you will receive no laser mission.  Advance tickets are cheap, so grab some at the link above.

We will be welcoming some excellent stand-up from HOWARD KREMER (Who Charted? podcast, Dragon Boy Suede), and BRANDON WARDELL (The Meltdown Show).  As always, there will be free popcorn!  And there will also be prizes -- if you're one of the funniest folks who gives us a killer one-liner during the movie.  We are a people-powered show.

Hit us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and our NEW email list.  Get your tickets early, arrive early to get a good seat, and we'll zzzzee you at the show!

Zap,
