We wrap up #FANuary – where listeners chose what we watched across all our social media accounts – with Larry Cohen’s 1976 classic GOD TOLD ME TO! Cohen’s strange odyssey of a New York police detective whose investigation yields way more than he ever bargained for is truly a genius piece of cinema that only Larry Cohen could have created! Filled with an incredible cast (Academy Award winner Sandy Dennis, Andy Kaufman, Deborah Raffin, Tony Lo Bianco, and Richard Lynch from New World’s DEATHSPORT, but, more importantly, BAD DREAMS) that rivals that of 1981’s THE FOUR SEASONS, New World took two turns at releasing the film, which led to a fraught relationship between Cohen and New World head honcho Roger Corman., We discuss that along with other pressing questions, such as: how did Marc and Ryan’s family feel about the TV show Space: 1999, what role Brad Dourif might have played, and debate whether walking barefoot in an airport is the same as doing so in a city.

Don’t miss out on our #FANuary finale! Just accept it, no questions!
