How will it work? Cue up your own copy of the films via streaming service or DVD/Blu-Ray and help us provide a running commentary via Skype text chat.
NOTE: Because both films are over 2 hours, we'll start a little earlier than usual. We'll open the chat at 6:45pm and start the first film promptly at 7:05pm.
6:45 PM Central Time: THE BEASTMASTER (1982)
The cute ferret is pretty much all I remember. By Don Coscarelli, director of PHANTASM and last week's BUBBA HO TEP. "A sword-and-sorcery fantasy about a young man's search for revenge. Armed with supernatural powers, the handsome hero and his animal allies wage war against marauding forces." Also starring Marc Singer, Rip Torn, and John Amos.

9 PM Central Time: A VIEW TO A K*ll (1985)
You had me at Christopher Walken and Grace Jones. Perhaps the campiest Bond movie. "The recovery of a microchip off the body of a fellow agent leads James Bond to a mad industrialist who plans to create a worldwide microchip monopoly by destroying California's Silicon Valley." Also starring Roger Moore and Patrick Macnee.
