PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

THE TURKISH DIPLOMATS PRESENT CHARMING NOISE UNVEIL THEIR REVIEW OF “THE 18 BRONZE GIRLS OF SHAOLIN” — THE MOVIE YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED (OR FEARED). Forget logic. Forget physics. Forget knowing what’s happening half the time. The 18 Bronze Girls of Shaolin is here, and your devoted crew at Charming Noise are dragging it into the podcast spotlight whether the world is ready or not. This legendary slice of Kung Fu cinema from the deep, dusty corners of the genre vault features Shaolin martial arts, ancient temples, bronze-coated heroines, and a plot so twisty, it could double as a pretzel. The fighting? Epic. The acting? Let’s just say… bless their hearts. Our mission: To suffer gloriously through these cinematic oddities so you don’t have to — but we won’t judge if you track this one down for the chaos. Dive into our breakdown of The 18 Bronze Girls of Shaolin in the latest episode of The Turkish Diplomats Present Charming Noise. Follow the madness, join the Facebook community, and celebrate bad movies done beautifully wrong. Available wherever podcasts hide — Spotify, Apple, iHeartRadio, YouTube — we’re there, regretting life choices so you can laugh at them.

Your favorite gentlemen of B-movie distinction, The Turkish Diplomats. a.k.a. Tom, Calvin, and Paul, are back with a true classic of the drive-in genre, 1961's Mothra. The boys defend this movie as the greatest of the Toho monster movies, and it is arguably one of the greatest monster movies of all time. It is also one of the weirdest, mostly thanks to the singing miniature twin sisters that you will never forget. The special effects and attention to detail were absolutely amazing, thanks to partial bankrolling by Columbia Pictures. The plot? Seriously, that's your concern? What does it matter when you have a larvae the size of Tokyo tower! Dialogue? Yes, it has that, but why do you care when moth starts destroying major world capitals? In any case, you can't miss this episode.

No man stands so tall as when he is walking and carrying some wood. And speaking of wood, would you believe the boys have posted a new episode? Tom, Calvin and Paul talk about one of, if not the king of drive-in movies, the 1973 classic "Walking Tall," starring Joe Don Baker as the legendary (and after we recorded, newly alleged murderer) Buford Pusser. This has so many staples of the drive-in scene in the seventies...rednecks, murder, sticks, hookers, moonshine. The boys do their level best to explain the significance of this classic and what it did for B-movies and drive-in culture.
