Welcome to episode 139 of the Retro Blood podcast! This week, we're diving into "Psycho Cop" (1989), a lazy rip-off of "Maniac Cop," as part of our Bad Cop Month dedicated to 1980s horror movies. Join your hosts, James Kline and J.A. Alsion, as we dissect this lackluster film, from its uninspired plot to the questionable acting of its killer cop.
In our Weekly History segment, we take a trip down memory lane to explore what was happening in the world of Pro Wrestling and Metal music. We'll cover a rare USWA show featuring Jeff Jarrett in a brutal barbed wire match, delving into the history of the promotion and Jarrett's role within it.
Next, we shift gears to talk about Rush and their album "Presto." Alsion shares his passion for concerts, and we discuss our experiences with live music, reminiscing about the first bands we ever saw perform.
Returning to "Psycho Cop," we explore the background of the writer and director, Wallace Potts, and his career. We also shine a spotlight on the cast, including Robert R. Shafer and Cindy Guyer. The discussion continues with our thoughts on the film's lazy settings and the misguided attempt to make the villain funny in a horror movie.
As we navigate through the movie's meager plot, we ponder how "Psycho Cop" managed to spawn a sequel and discuss the director behind the follow-up.
Tune in for a mix of horror movie critique, wrestling nostalgia, and heavy metal memories on this episode of Retro Blood. Whether you're a fan of cheesy horror or just here for the laughs, we've got you covered!
