Are you a fan of movies like Boardinghouse, Blood Cult, and Redneck Zombies? Do you also love the shit out of podcasts? Well, great news for you and probably only you: we have launched a podcast dedicated to SOV (shot-on-video) horror movies titled Decayed Tapes, which will have a home right here on the GHOULISH Podcast Network. Join our hosts, Max Booth III and Miguel Myers, as we explore the under-appreciated world of shot-on-video horror sleaze created by low-budget filmmakers and sometimes genuine psychopaths. Our first episode went live earlier this week: a 2+ hour long conversation about… Video Violence! Please consider subscribing to the show via your favorite podcast app and rating/reviewing on iTunes. If it’s not already on your preferred app, please give it another day or two to properly generate, then check again. Sometimes brand-new podcasts can take a minute to show up everywhere. On the debut episode of Decayed Tapes, we watched Gary P. Cohen’s masterful VIDEO VIOLENCE from 1987—a movie about an entire town helplessly addicted to snuff films. Join us for a fun, bizarre conversation about filmmaking, video stores, salisbury steak, and defecating ourselves in public.
