Description

The 'Video Nasty' panic of the 1980s in the U.K. helped shape a culture and frame a government, censoring cult, exploitation and horror films for the masses.Join us as we explore this unique slice of British cultural history, from how it all started, what it all meant, and how - decades later - it still impacts what we can watch. We're delving into everything from the forming and evolution of the BBFC, the campaigners who fought against them, the changes in the law, then taking a look at the nasties themselves - many for the first time - to see just what at all the fuss was about. How many are misunderstood gems, and how many are best forgotten?A proud part of the Film Stories Podcast Network: www.filmstories.co.ukhttps://linktr.ee/thenastycast

Welcome back to The Nasty CastWe're back with new co-host Emma Arneil to discuss Tom Six's controversial sequel The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence).This follow-up to his cult hit original turns the dial up to 11 and beyond, and faced censorship problems around the world, including of the UK, where it was initially refused a rating by the BBFC, before eventually being released with 2m 37s of cuts.This meta horror has something to say about the influence of horror films on viewers, but how successfully does it make its point?
