Join us this week as we desperately try to navigate talking about the Takashi Miike classic, Audition, without saying anything inappropriate.
We almost make it.
We also discuss sex comedies, nazis, Promising Young Woman, and the Japanese breakthrough movies of the late-90s/early-2000s.
Audition was chosen by one of our Patreons - if you want to influence future picks and get access to loads of additional content, join us in The Wasteland Resort now.

Nee naw, nee naw, here comes the punk police and we're investigating Jeremy Saulnier's punks-in-a-bad-situation nightmare, Green Room.
Hear some of our own tour stories and scary interactions with sketchy folk, learn how to correctly pronounce Guerilla Poubelle, and ask yourself if this truly could take place in the holodeck.

This week, we go hard on the genius of Lance Henriksen, Stan Winston, and classic creature features of the 80s and beyond as we discuss the era-defining, underappreciated joy that is Pumpkinhead.
Along the ride, we also discuss Michale Graves-era Misfits, Insane Clown Posse, and somehow end up plotting out our alternative take on Home Alone 2.

It's Christmas so we're digging into a classic of the festive horror canon, Bob Clark's Black Christmas.
We get into it on holiday horror, phrogging, unreliable narrators and also Goonies.
If you ever wondered which classic 70s punk band represents Black Christmas - this episode is for you.

This week we're talking about Ken Russell's church and state fever dream The Devils. A very silly serious movie about real issues that straddles so many different lines. It's a fun one. We also talk about Elvis, Barbie, and Randy Quaid as Frankenstein.
Three questions we ask ourselves this week:
- Is it blasphemous because it's good or is it good because it's blasphemous?
- Can you make a case for this being a Christmas movie?
- Is there anything more decadent than a French king?

This week, we're getting truly weird in a tiny hotel room with Michael Shannon and Ashley Judd, as we talk Bug. Things get all kinds of nuts as we dig into people's theories about the subtext, Sam gives us a different read on Titanic, and we pose the question: what happens when you get between daddy and daddy?
Three kinds of people get ripped to shreds in this episode:
- People who are anti-sex scenes
- People who take this movie at face value
- Michael Buble

Right folks, chug the last of that Tenafly Viper and let's get anarchic. We're talking Street Trash, a gooey, icky, melty, mucky slice of New York underground filmmaking.
Filled with iconic gore effects and dubious character choices, the big question is: is it any good? We'll tell you, slowly over the course of 90ish minutes.
Also, drinking stories.

Your two favourite punks are here to take you on a journey through some of the best horror movies the world has ever seen, some Video Nasty classics, and some unsung gems of the genre.
