The Incredibly Strange Episode with Zack Carlson and Two Mixed-Up Podcasters
Wednesday Nov 01, 2023
Wednesday Nov 01, 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)

Mark Hamill and Michael Dudikoff square off in a competition to see who can be the biggest asshole in this Cannon action/horror/thriller. Joker laughs aside, this movie takes you for a fun ride.

Wednesday Oct 04, 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.

Shawgust continues and our friend Ian from Rock! Shock! Pop! and the Queens Comic Podcast joins us again for our annual discussion of a Shaw Brothers horror movie. This week we discuss Ghost Eyes, one of Kuei Chih-Hung's lesser-known horror films but the most(?) Italian of perhaps any Hong Kong horror film. Plus lots of whistling!

Purana Mandir (1984) w/ Josh Hurtado
Wednesday Jul 12, 2023
Wednesday Jul 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.
