A Serbian Film (ft. lampyman101)

9/19/2021
It's the last episode of Season 3 and it's definitely not one to miss as I'm joined by Glenn Criddle, a.k.a. lampyman101. Glenn's the first YouTuber I subscribed to back in 2009 who talked about disturbing films, such as the Video Nasties. The first half of the episode is an interview with Glenn covering many topics, such as why he started his channel, how YouTube has changed, advice he'd give to people looking to start their own channel, and a lot more, including times he's received death threats (!!!) for his videos. For the rest of the episode, myself and Glenn review A Serbian Film - one I'm sure you've all been waiting for! Not only is it possibly the most disturbing and controversial film of all time, but also a very misunderstood film. Jump to 57:48 if you want to go straight to the review. It was an honour having Glenn on the show and I hope to do something with him again in the future.

Antichrist

8/11/2021
Whoever said you can have too much of a good thing clearly never listened to this show. I've brought Myroslava Hartmond back onto the show once again to talk about Antichrist and the films of Lars von Trier. Listen to over 2 hours of quality content as we discuss von Trier's career, Myro's dislike of Willem Dafoe, foxes, and much much more. Check it out!

Grotesque

7/28/2021
I love talking about movies in depth as much as the next man, but sometimes it's more fun to do a quick review. On this episode, I'm covering a very nasty film, GROTESQUE by Koji Shiraishi. I'm a big fan of Shiraishi's early film, Noroi: The Curse - did I enjoy Grotesque? Listen to find out! WARNING - lots of graphic content in this one. Blame the film

Audition

7/18/2021
I've talked about how Eli Roth was inspired by Audition, so why not go straight to the source? Myroslava Hartmond joins me on the show once again to talk about Takashi Miike's most famous film, and notorious disturbing movie. We talk about the differences from the book the film's based on, its gender politics and, of course, the infamous last 30 minutes. Torture porn starts here - even if the wrong lessons were taken from it. A really fun show which I hope is listened to by a billion people.

Martyrs

Irreversible

6/27/2021
I've brought Myroslava Hartmond back on the show to talk about one of our favourite directors, Gaspar Noe. His most infamous film is Irreversible, a film which features one of the most harrowing rape scenes in film history. So a very very bad date movie then. There's a lot more to it though, as we discuss. One for fans of French cinema.

The Devil's Rejects

6/16/2021
It's the last of my Lionsgate series. On this episode, I'm reviewing The Devil's Rejects by Rob Zombie along with all of Rob Zombie's other films. As anyone who's listened to my podcasts before knows, I've never been a huge fan of Rob Zombie's films. So, this episode features THE TRIAL OF ROB ZOMBIE - featuring 5 charges regularly levelled against his films. Is he guilty? Let the trial begin!

Saw

5/30/2021
Tom Cannon joins me on this episode to talk about SAW, one of the biggest horror movies of the 2000s. Is it a bad date movie? No. Why am I reviewing it then? Good question. Over the next 3 episodes, I'm going to be covering 3 movies from the 2000s from the 3 biggest new horror directors of that decade. All 3 movies were released by Lionsgate and were part of the so-called "torture porn" cycle. If you're a Saw fan, kick back and relax for for the next 2 hours as me and Tom talk about Saw and all the films in the series! #notallhorrorfans

Cargo 200

5/23/2021
On the 8th anniversary of the passing of Aleksei Balabanov, I thought it was appropriate to review one of his best known - and most controversial - films, CARGO 200. I'm joined by Myroslava Hartmond once again to discuss the film, as well as Balabanov's filmography and legacy in Russian cinema. Plus, why we both love Mark Kermode and his flappy hands.

It's been a while, but I'm back with a brand new series of Worst Date Movies Ever! On the show today, I'm reviewing the August Underground trilogy directed by Fred Vogel. These are 3 of the most disturbing and controversial films of all time, so not a show for the faint hearted...

Romper Stomper

4/4/2020
On the show today, I've brought back Myroslava Hartmond to talk about one of her favourite movies of all time, Romper Stomper. This is the film that launched Russell Crowe from Australia into Hollywood stardom; making movies, making songs and fighting around the world! Plus, an interview with me. Yes, me. I asked Myro to interview me about all things Worst Date Movies Ever, films and Greg Knox. Find out about my favourite films, where Worst Date Movies Ever came from, my history, having Aspergers Syndrome, and a whole lot more Stay safe, stay at home and, as Braun Strowman would say, wash them hands!

Come and See

1/18/2020
One of my favourite kinds of movie is the Soviet war movie, and my favourite Soviet war movie is Come and See, so it made sense to bring Myroslava Hartmond back on the show to talk about it with me! I also wanted to talk to Myro about the H R Giger exhibition in Kiev she helped organise, the journey of bringing it to Kiev, and her role in the Ukrainian art scene as managing director of the Triptych gallery. If you wanted to know more about Myro, this is the show for you. Of course, you should listen to the interview first, but if you want to skip to Come and See talk, go to 37:46

Desperate Living

1/4/2020
As Staind said, it's been a while... Tom Dennett-Cook returns to the show to talk with me about the John Waters movie Desperate Living. But, as well as that, the first part of the show is an interview with Tom about how we met, his blog/radio show Reviews From the Outer Rim, cult movies, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and many other topics. It's an awesome interview but, if you want to go straight to the Desperate Living review, you can skip to 36:47

8/11/2019
A very different kind of movie for the show today. Carl Rowland joins me to talk about Freddy Got Fingered; a movie which has been described as both the worst movie of all time and a Dadaist masterpiece: which is it? Is it a good or a bad date movie? How long do we stay on topic? How much does Carl hate DC? Find out here
