DEBAUCHEROUS FRIDAY

For some reason, we always seem to kick off the weekend with sex and violence, and this holiday edition is no different -- cannibalism, incest, killer crocs, and a modern retelling of a film which sent Hollywood down a dark and fruitful path... Herschell Gordon Lewis' The Wizard of Gore. We had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Lewis by phone for last year's Halloween celebration, and it's an interview not to missed.

Speaking of don't miss opportunities, the Dave and Mac geek attack returns for another installment of The Friday Filibuster (Aug 29). This week: A review of the Don Cheadle political thriller Traitor, a brief meeting of the Guy Pearce adoration society, rockin' killer crocs, remembering The Karate Kid cartoon, previewing a Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned, if Predators ran the government, and much more. Enjoy!
