The newest episode of the
MovieSucktastic Podcast is up, just in time for all of those movie-lovers snowed in across the East Coast. This time around, on top of our normal Top Ten review and Finger List nominations, Joey and I give our in-depth reviews of the latest round of movie challenges.
Joey's challenge to me this episode: the 1969
Ken Russel adaptation of
D.H. Lawrence's
Women in Love, one of the first mainstream films to ever feature full frontal male nudity, as well as the first film to win a Best Actress
Academy Award for a role featuring a nude scene. That's right, you get to see
Glenda Jackson's boobies. Unfortunately (for me, at least),
Oliver Reed and
Alan Bates get much more nude screen time.
My challenge to Joey: The eighties science fiction thriller
Looker, written and directed by
Michael Crichton nearly a decade before
Jurassic Park made everyone forget about this film and
Runaway. A scathing indictment of advertising, plastic surgery, and the notion that a sexy model can also be smart, Looker also features a former
Partridge Family member in the buff. That's right, you get to see
Susan Day's boobies. Fortunately (for Joey, at least),
Albert Finney does not strip down for the cameras as well.
On top of all of this retro naked fun, Joey and I take a look back at our previous review of
Avatar and decide on a new position regarding the film's quality, based mostly on the rabid defense it has received from its almost cult-like fan base. Let's just say we're a little less forgiving this time around.
Check it out on

I can clearly empathize with the surreal sensation of confusion that must undoubtedly accompany the man as he stands there surrounded by smiling fanatics clad in purple robes, stares down at the Dixie cup of poison-laced grape juice clutched in his hand and thinks to himself, "Did I miss something?"
