Zombies! Italians! A Freddy Krueger-like killer that punches a rubber glove clean through women's torsos! Drunk drivers sneaking into bathrooms to stalk women! All these things (and many more) are featured in our episode on George A. Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead and the Claudio Fragasso/Bruno Mattei schlockfest Night Killer.
Jim and Patrick discuss Takeshi Kitano's existential yakuza drama Sonatine, as well as a sex comedy that might generously be considered "odd."
Patrick is joined by Godzilla expert Sean to discuss two very different but still memorable sci-fi monster movies. It's Howard Hawks, it's the original clout chaser Nick Adams (not to be confused with Ernest Hemingway's short story protagonist), it's Godzilla, it's Ghidorah (spoilers), it's Rodan, and it's a vegetable monster that requires blood to survive. It's The Thing from Another World and Invasion of Astro Monster aka Godzilla vs. Monster Zero!
Jim watched the wrong Last House on the Left, so we do a little bit of talking about the remake. But it's an iconic rape and revenge movie paired with a movie about a killer cat attacking George Kennedy, with Jim watching the wrong movies. What could go wrong?
Jim and Patrick discuss two nudity-heavy films in the incredibly controversial Tinto Brass-Malcolm McDowell-Helen Mirren-Peter O'Toole-John Gielgud Italian-American Penthouse Films production Caligula, as well as one of two '80s sex comedies by director David DeCoteau to star the big three scream queens: Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer.
Patrick is joined by Jared to discuss the erotic thriller Wild Things and the classic '90s slasher Candyman. Finally Tony Todd has a starring role in this podcast, and not just one of his slapped together cameos.
Two absurdly long titles make for some very entertaining films, as Jim and Patrick watch and discuss the Samurai/ronin/ninja classic Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance, and the Ennio Morricone-scored giallo with an all-star cast (including two and a half Bond girls!!!): Black Belly of the Tarantula.
Warring martial arts schools, cops vs. gangsters, and the inimitable Jackie Chan. What's not to love in this episode on two Asian action classics - one from Indonesia (though for some reason we say Thailand the entire time), and one from Hong Kong?
Kevin is back, and we get to talk Hitchcock, and Hong Kong movies featuring dummy kids being thrown through windows!
In this episode, Jim and Patrick feature Brian De Palma's moving story of two sisters separated at birth, as well as an early women in prison film, the aptly titled Women's Prison.
Join Jim and Patrick as they delve into the history and origin of Chuck Norris facts, as well as the odd release history of Ringu's first sequel. It's Good Guys Wear Black and Rasen!
Journey with Jim and Patrick to Samurai Town, the Ghostland, and safari with them in Kenya. It's Nicolas Cage in Prisoners of the Ghostland and the beautiful Laura Gemser in the sexploitation classic Black Emanuelle!
Patrick is joined by Josh to discuss a couple of classic teen films with Canadian leads
Jim and Patrick take on two fourth entries in long-running horror franchises with Joseph Zito's wonderful Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter and Darren Lynn Bousman's acceptable Saw IV.
Kinky sex, political turmoil, and rubber monsters...it's The Bank Job and Stuart Gordon's From Beyond!
I'm not going to lie - most of this episode is on Michael Bay's Ambulance. In part because there's a major disagreement between the two hosts, and in part because the Mamie Van Doren western Born Reckless is so damn boring.
Patrick and Katie talk about a couple of jealous thriller movies - one that was a successful box office classic in the '90s, and one that was made for Lifetime Network with the ever-reliable Eric Roberts.
Godzilla is back! And this time to fight the terrifying alien monster Ghidorah, and with the help of a Mothra larva and Rodan. And we also discuss Twice Dead, a Roger Corman produced teen punk/haunted house crossover film. Things get weird.
Jim and Patrick discuss the incredibly controversial Kinji Fukasaku swan song Battle Royale, and some of special effects auteur Ray Harryhausen's wonderful work in The Valley of Gwangi. This episode's got dinosaurs, it's got grenades, it's got cowboys, katanas, and plenty of death.
Two somewhat lesser sequels to horror classics are the basis of our first episode of the season. Join us in embracing the craziness of Donald Pleasence's performance and the dazzling visuals of Dario Argento (and Mario Bava in his last film???). It's Halloween 5 and Inferno!
