Arts & Culture Podcasts
Channel 83 is a podcast dedicated to bringing you the best, worst, and weirdest that horror cinema has to offer. Each week, we will be picking three films that are tied together with a loose theme. We will give you a synopsis of each film, followed by a review/analysis/recommendation/anything else that we think you might find interesting. In addition, we’ll be broadcasting these films so that you, the listeners, will have the chance to check out the films that we discuss. What sort of movies can you expect? Well, we’ll be going through the horror franchises both major and minor, forgotten classics, unknown schlock, foreign oddities, and everything in-between. Horror can be a difficult genre to define so there may be some films that teeter on the edge. No matter the movie, we will always strive to provide you with content that will entertain, interest, or disgust horror buffs and horror noobs alike. Thank you for listening, and long live the new flesh.

5/21/2021
Looks like we made it! Today we wrap up our coverage of the horror cinema of east/southeast Asia with 2016’s Dearest Sister. Directed by Mattie Do, the first female filmmaker in Laos, Dearest Sister is a wonderfully layered tale of worlds colliding.

We are winding down our coverage of the horror of east and southeast Asia with 2014’s Hollow out of Vietnam. We’re on the home stretch! This is the second to last film we’ll be covering for this series. Hollow is an enjoyable (if not a bit unremarkable) ghost story from writer/director Hàm Trần.

E146: LOVE MOTEL (恐怖旅馆)
5/18/2021
Once again we find ourselves in the unenviable position of reviewing something so obscure that we’re the first ones to review it. Love Motel (2012) out of China has only 14 ratings on IMDB, 5 ratings on Letterboxd, and 0 reviews on either site. Is it a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered or … Continue reading E146: LOVE MOTEL (恐怖旅馆) →

E144: HANTU KAK LIMAH BALIK RUMAH
5/3/2021
After last week’s episode I was looking for a palate cleanser and hoped that Malaysia’s Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah would be able to provide me with that. This supernatural comedy-horror about a group of villagers warding off ghosts didn’t end up being exactly what I was looking for.

4/26/2021
Tonight, we continue our excursion into the horror cinema of east/southeast Asia with 2004’s Nieng Arp out of Cambodia. While the history of Cambodian horror cinema is definitely an interesting one, Nieng Arp is interesting only for how impressively terrible it is.
