The Whisky Bikini Suspense Show

In this episode James pours himself a large brandy to settle his nerves, and dives into THE OUTWATERS, the controversial, freaky deaky found footage from writer, director and star Robbie Banfitch.....WE ALL DIE IN THE DARK, sure, but hopefully we'll all be able to drink in the dark too.

Pour yourself a drink and join James as he ponders A WOUNDED FAWN, the latest film from Travis Stevens of JAKOB'S WIFE and GIRL ON THE THIRD FLOOR fame...a feminist parable? Arthouse madness? Serial killer thrills? Surreal nonsense? Or all of the above? Tune in and find out!

James knocks back a few mulled wines and ponders Joe Begos' new killer robot santa flick Christmas Bloody Christmas, and gets into the list of festive horrors that he's working he's working his way through this December - for better or worse!

A new take on THE BROONS

Join us for another dive into the swamp of indie found footage horror as James pours himself a drink and takes a look at The Andy Baker Tape from Bret Lada, the Creep-style tale of a food VLogger who takes his socially awkward, newly-discovered half brother on a road trip....with SINISTER results. Is it worth checking out? Tune in, and all will be revealed....

James takes a dive into found footage with the 2021 fake documentary HORROR IN THE HIGH DESERT, written, produced, and directed by Dutch Marich, and charting the case of a survivalist who goes missing in the wilds of Nevada.

In the first of what will be an ongoing series discussing indie film production and the practicalities of filmmaking, James chats to Kia Khalili Pir about THE OLD CIVILIAN, a short written and directed by and starring Kia, and produced by James.

In the third part of our SHOCKING series on classic Hong Kong Category III rated cinema, James is joined by Andy Heskins of easternKicks.com fame to discuss some of the key films from a UK perspective.....is Category III a genre? Which films were released in the UK? Which films are truly beyond the pale? Pour yourself a drink, tune in and find out!

For the first in an ongoing series discussing the zombie genre around the world, Cub and James pour a couple of drinks and chat about Korean zombie films and TV, in particular the hit Netflix series ALL OF US ARE DEAD. Cub also talks about some of the differences between Asian and western zombies and about the zombie genre in Hong Kong - a truly chilling episode!!!

Go behind the mics as Cub and James discuss the process of making the first ever Whisky Bikini radio play, MOJO IN THE CORRIDORS OF BLOOD, armed only with a (very) low budget and a lot of enthusiasm. As the drinks flow, we also talk about the inspirations behind and the history of the story, which started life as a film script, and about horror radio plays in the east and the west.
