No Rules November! continues as we cover another movie with more than 1000 views on Letterboxd. In fact, we kind of skip a lot of the details of this film and talk more about cinematic twins because we've got Lance's twin, Cody, as our guest!

The Incredibly Strange Episode with Zack Carlson and Two Mixed-Up Podcasters
11/1/2023
It's No Rules November! That one magical time of the year when we break our 1000 views on Letterboxd rule. First up we're diving head first into the shallow end of the Ray Dennis Steckler pool and joining us is returning guest Zack Carlson, who co-wrote the 100-page booklet for the Severin box set. Just like No Rules November, we're also breaking the normal format of our discussion and having it as a much more informal chat about Steckler, though we do spend some time focusing on The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964)

Two-Fisted Tales (1992)
10/4/2023
What happens when the producers behind Tales from the Crypt try and fail to launch another television show based on a comic? They set up Unsung Horrors for an episode, of course! This week we're tackling our first anthology with a star-studded cast and crew. We discuss our favorite segment, other anthologies, and Lance shares which of the directors used to be his babysitter.

Purana Mandir (1984) w/ Josh Hurtado
7/12/2023
For a deep dive into the Ramsay brothers' Purana Mandir, we've enlisted the help of Josh Hurtado, the exalted potentate of Indian cinema (ok, slight exaggeration, but he's definitely one of the most knowledgeable Westerners on this subject matter). In addition to the film, we discuss the best way to watch one of these films and some of the cultural idiosyncrasies that make films from India so unique.

Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype (1980)
6/21/2023
Lance has taken a risk by choosing a horror comedy that very few people will find funny. But it gave us a chance to focus on one of our favorite actors, Oliver Reed. While we do get into the cast and crew, don't expect an in-depth discussion of Heckyl and Hype, as we spend most of our time talking about its star.

We're back in one of our favorite subgenres: rip-offs! But this time we've got one from a very unexpected country ripping off a very unexpected zombie movie. This LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE rip-off from South Korea may eliminate the gore, but it still holds its own.
