Fantasy is not my favorite genre. It's why I've made no attempt to watch Games of Thrones or Spartacus or Xena. TV is a big commitment, though. I can spare 3.5 hours to watch Deathstalker II's breast-a-thon and Beastmaster's Marc Singer Dolittle the animals.
I'll also give them a shot because the directors of these movies are more known for horror. Deathstalker II is from Jim Wynorski, who made BMN movies Chopping Mall and Hard To Die.
If you're aware of those films you know we're not in for the most serious entry in the Deathstalker series. That would be Deathstalker V: Grandma Has Cancer. Oh yeah, there's a whole series. Mystery Science Theater 3000 did part three:
where Crow says at one point, "Aw, this is a sequel to something!". We're going to watch that something.
The Beastmaster was directed by Don Coscarelli who also made Phantasm (actually we ended up watching Phantasm II but he made that one too). It stars Marc Singer from V and, playing the young version of Singer's character, Billy Jacoby from Demonwarp and Bloody Birthday. I'm tempted to put the whole Jacoby family into the five-timers club because amongst all of them they've reached that mark. How about it?
Here's what happened last week:
