Episode 390: Transforming Careers, Snacks and Judy

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have 11 film reviews for you this week including a whole bunch of documentaries. They include one about a male-order catalog (All Man: The International Male Story), one about album covers (Squaring the Circle) and a trio involving a bodybuilder who became a politician (Arnold), the career beyond Freddie Krueger (Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story) and a director’s obsession with a film from 1939 (Lynch/Oz). There are also films about an artist’s assistant (Daliland) and the creation of a spicy snack (Flamin’ Hot). There’s a new take on the Frankenstein story (The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster), a post-WWII séance (Brooklyn 45) and a whole other kind of horror, one of personal choice in Margaret Thatcher Land. Finally can the Autobots and Decepticons build on the good will of Bumblebee (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts).
