This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Killer Condom (1996)
What is there to say about a movie with a pretty title such as this? This gem is filmed in German although it takes place in New York.
Gay men are being killed by having their penises removed. Hilarity ensues.
Come for the giant puppet condom with teeth, stay for the odd couple team of a drag queen and hard nosed Columbo-type gay detective.
From Troma, of course.
Love, Biff.
This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Killarmy - Dirty Weaponry (1998)
The second and oft-forgotten album from one of Wu-tang's most consistent off shoots is solid from beginning to end. This album marks the first time that all six emcees are united for and entire album (Islord had been in jail during the recording of the first album).
The result is a more mature album that strays a bit from the military imagery on songs such as "5 Stages of Consciousness," "Where I Rest At," and "Galactics." The group, consisting of emcees 9th Prince, Killa Sin, Dom Pachino, Shogun Assason, Beretta 9, and the aforementioned Islord, flexes it verbal prowess over some sweet 4th Disciple beats.
This album initially disappointed me six years ago when it came out but it seems to have aged better than the first and is much more consistent their third and final album which seemed to make some awkward attempts at going mainstream. Whatever, this album is solid from beginning to end and contains some of the best emcees around.
Love, Biff.
