Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
In this episode, love is in the air and for the special occasion of Valentine's Day, we return once more into the wild world of Nikkatsu's Roman Porno series. Dustin has selected a fitting companion piece for the block of films we covered last year and that leads us once again to the amazing star power of Naomi Tani paired with the direction of Masaru Konuma. So join us as we check out Wife to Be Sacrificed from 1974. Jason weighs the film's light plot against his feelings for the subgenre in the wake of exploring several films. Dustin excitedly fills out a conspiracy board's worth of connections between this film and other movies we have covered prior. But before all that, Jason ponders the cursed phenomenon of the half-remembered movie. And so much more!

In this episode, we dig into our first horror flick of 2024 for the show. This time, Jason wants to shine a spotlight and share some love for a little gem that he feels doesn't get discussed enough. So buckle up for the end of days as we check our Maurice Devereaux's End of the Line from 2007. Dustin weighs whether the film feels more like a Full Moon production or a SyFy Pictures Original, but can't help but admit that when it works, the film is firing on all cylinders. Jason praises the film's overall execution considering its small budget. But before all that, both hosts offer some discussion on a trio of recent watches. And so much more!

In this episode, we wrap up the year and our discussion on movies about making movies with a quick trip to the 90s. So join us as we dig in a little on our conflicting opinions about 90s Horror and finally discuss the Elm Street franchise for a little as we check out Wes Craven's New Nightmare from 1994. Jason charts the web of connections as this meta horror flick weaves reality with countless callbacks to the franchise. Dustin tries to weigh where the film succeeds against its failings. But before all that, Jason crosses an important Stephen King flick off his watchlist and Dustin doubles down with another rant about a poor Netflix adaptation. And so much more!

In this episode, we continue our exploration of movies about making movies. This time Jason's pick brings us back to the highly stylized world of Brian De Palma as we check out Blow Out from 1981. Between geeking out over all the gear porn and audio engineering, we also spend a lot of time highlighting the many cinematic features and real world incidents that fed in as inspiration for the film. But before all that, we set our sights on some recent releases. Jason hits the theater to talk Eli Roth's Grindhouse trailer finally being realized and then heaps praise for Toho's newest stab at a Godzilla flick. Meanwhile, Dustin brings a tale of two animated projects and unfortunately has to level some harsh criticism of the new Scott Pilgrim anime. And so much more!

Episode 075: Barbarian (2022)
Wednesday Nov 08, 2023
Wednesday Nov 08, 2023
In this episode, we dig into the mailbag of listener suggestions seeking some horror to keep the dwindling flames of our Halloween passion alive. This leads us to check out Zach Cregger's directorial debut Barbarian from 2022. Heads up that this is a film where the less you know going in the better, so if you haven't seen it and have made it this far without being spoiled, we highly suggest trying it before delving into our discussion. Jason celebrates the film's thematic elements while Dustin struggles to reconcile the elements he loved with those that gave him a few hangups. But before all that, we spend some extra time dishing on the VHS franchise and its latest film, V/H/S/85, which seems like a stark improvement to us over the last few entries. And so much more!
Special thanks to Jessica for suggesting we check this one out. Got a movie you champion? A hidden gem you think needs more love? Just want to see more discussion on a particular film?
