Everybody gets time off but me

Add to my PageThis is The Redneck Cabbie and a lady I would guess to be his wife or at least close enough not to mind being in pictures with him. His blog can be read by clicking the photo. He is one of the cab drivers we have been fortunate enough to help make Chill With Phil. This week we have no show to speak of. Don my producer had a few days off to do the things that parents do in getting kids ready for school. Dan the owner of Green and Go cabs has been on vacation and this week and this weekend Justin and Mirabelle our control room experts have taken off as well. This leaves me with few options other than to extract a few of the contestants from an older show and group them all together in one big episode I call Go For The Green Spectacular. Another blow off show. The movie Voyage To The Planet of Prehistoric Women is a time honored favorite however and well worth watching this fascinating Russian-Coreman collaboration.
This is the third and last time we will show Voyage. It has a fascinating history. It is a Russian made film called Planeta Bur (The Planet of Storms or Stormy Planet). It was purchased by Roger Coreman who hired Peter Bogdonavich to re-write the script. Peter hired Maime Van Doren and some other nice blond girls to mill about a set wearing seashells instead of wonder bras. These girls act out a plot line based around lizard worship while Bogdanovicth tries hard to make it all make sense. Coreman like the result so much that he commissioned the film to be re-worked a few years later and instead of Van Doren we have Basil Rathbone in Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet.

And speaking of pre-history...This is a snapshot dating back to 1996, probably around Christmas with Greg Tiller my on air partner at 102.3 The X , the legendary classic rock station which went off the air in 1999 and was transformed into 102.3 JAMZ which got sued for saying jamz and then became 102.3 The Beat...

Tiller who also seems to be able to take time off work was back in town this week with his new wife and announced that at 46 years old, he is about to become a daddy for the first time!

My best wishes to Greg and his new family. Sorry I didn't get to touch base with you, try calling first next time.

Elvis, Cab Fare, and Pigs

There's a brand new look to tonight's big show! We are darned near live from the back of a Green and Go Cab! I have the pleasure of interviewing Liz Peters from The Starplex and give you a chance to win tickets to see any movie you want! I suggest skipping the big blockbusters and throwing your support behind 28 Weeks Later.
Also joining me in the back is Danny Lee famous Elvis impersonator and in the front seat Harley the nicest guy you would ever designate your driver giving away Schlitterbahn tickets!
However tonight we have a real rare oddity for you.. Originally released as "Daddy's Deadly Darling" and rated X the recut version is tamed for television but still pretty violent. This is a review I found on IMDB which sums it all up:
Directed in 1972 by popular noir-gangster actor Marc Lawrence'('The Asphalt Jungle') 'Pigs', which was originally released as 'Daddy's Deadly Darling', was his 2nd and last attempt at directing low-budget exploitation horror.

Made primarily to launch his daughter, Toni Lawrence, into acting stardom(which, by the way, didn't go to far. She only appeared in 6 films, 4 being for TV), 'Pigs' tells the story of Lynn Webster, a young woman who murdered her father after being raped, and was then sent to an asylum for being deemed crazy as she refuses to believe he's dead. With that all set-up in the first few minutes of the film, Lynn then makes her big escape in a VW Bug out to the country where she makes her way to Zambrini's road-side diner. Now Zambrini (played by the elder Lawrence) isn't exactly what you would call sane either, as he has a habit of stealing corpses and feeding them to his pigs. Anyhow, he of course takes her in, hiring her as a waitress, and the two begin to form an absurd father/daughter relationship. It isn't long until Lynn resumes her murderous ways, which makes it very convenient for Zambrini. She supplies the bodies .....he feed's the pigs. Not a better pairing since chocolate met peanut butter, kind of like in those old Reeses commercials.And of course I need to remind you that PNS II is coming!
