Strong Language & Violent Scenes Podcast

Quarantine continues. How many days have elapsed? Am I mad? Probably... The message remains. Stay in and stay safe, please.  So, to the guest then! A man of integrity. A forgiving man. A man who has come on despite having previously covered his OWN film, HELLBENT... It's Paul Etheredge! His chosen film? The Lair of The White Worm! Director Ken Russell dropped this, one of his sillier offerings, way back in 1988. It's a hoot. It's a hoot that features Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi! And a big fucking worm.    The synopsis is as follows:  On a farm owned by Eve Trent and her sister Mary, young archaeologist Angus Flint discovers a large and inexplicable skull, which he soon deduces belonged to the D'Ampton Worm, a mythical beast supposedly slain generations ago by the ancestor of the current Lord D'Ampton. The predatory Lady Sylvia Marsh soon takes an interest in both Flint and the virginal Eve, hinting that the vicious D'Ampton Worm may still live. Huge thanks to Paul for joining us!

So, week 2 of isolation approaches. How are we all doing? Hanging in there? We know this isn't ideal but we will all look back on this transformative period when we are all drunk together again and say "Wow! That was a fucking weird time" and we will raise a glass to the fact that we all mucked in and got through it.  We sincerely hope that all of our listeners and families are keeping safe and well.  Anyway, onto this week and Minisode 96! Topics include Leigh Whannell's re-imagining of the classic THE INVISIBLE MAN, Jordan Rubin's THE DRONE and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with LEPRECHAUN! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below... We also announce the film and guest for this week's main episode.  In addition to all this, we dig into your posts and messages in th

So I know this goes without saying but for this episode we continue the current trend of social distancing to protect ourselves, others and in some small way, combat the current Coronavirus pandemic. So it is that Mitch, Andy and our guest find themselves isolated in their respective houses, three-way Skyping. We have never tried this before... So, to the guest then! She is one of the driving forces behind our pals at Hex Media. She is also a producer and writer of films such as LORD OF TEARS, THE UNKINDNESS OF RAVENS, THE BLACK GLOVES and THE DEVIL'S MACHINE... It's Sarah Daly! Her chosen film? Invaders From Mars! A Tobe Hooper film? A Cannon Picture? Sign me up! YES! We are going back to 1988 for a film made as part of Hooper's multi-picture deal with Golan/Globus which also saw him direct Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Lifeforce! This is one of the only films in Hooper's oeuvre that can reasonably be called a kid's film BUT is it?  Invaders From Mars is a fun-little remake of the 1953 film of the sam

So as everything continues to go to hell in a handbasket, we can all agree that the general vibe, globally, is one of uncertainty. The only things certain in life are death, taxes and that, for as long as we are physically able to do so, we will bring you new episodes as usual and this week is no different... Here is Minisode 95! In all seriousness though, we love every one of you out there. Please stay safe and stay well and for fuck sake, listen to the experts and stay inside. Please. Don't put yourselves or anyone else at risk. We want to see you at future live shows once this blows over.  Topics include a look back at Series 5 of Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pembertons excellent anthology series  INSIDE No. 9, former guest Sam Ashurst's latest offering A LITTLE MORE FLESH and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with TICKS! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked

Wow. Lockdown! Quarantine! Self-isolation.  It's fair to say that this has been one of the stranger weeks in our lifetimes and things are pretty up in the air and crazy. A little normalcy is what's required here so will continue to bring you episodes as usual. We will not abandon the quarantined.  Now then, this week, fresh off the back of an amazing screening at Glasgow Frightfest which saw his film A Ghost Waits top MANY best of the fest lists AND being good enough to join us in person... It's Adam Stovall!   His chosen film? Gremlins 2: The New Batch! Yes! It's 1990! It's the first 12 rated film that Andy saw in the cinema! It's one of the most tonally outrageous sequels ever made! The synopsis is as follows:  The magical collectibles store that Gizmo calls home has just been destroyed, and the tiny monster finds his way into a newly erected skyscraper. Billy Peltzer and his bride-to-be, Kate, who have previously dealt with Gremlins run amok, discover that Gizmo and an impish legion of reptilian p

THIS one has been quite the week. Coronavirus is running rampant and now an officially recognised pandemic but FEAR NOT! Allow us to sanitise your fragile, anxiety riddled minds with Minisode 94! Topics include Johannes Robert's nonsense shark sequel 47 METRES DOWN: UNCAGED, Adam Stovall's sleeper Frightfest smash A GHOST WAITS and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with IDLE HANDS! Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below... We also announce the film and guest for this week's main episode.  In addition to all this, we dig into your posts and messages in the Feedback section and tell you what you should be watching as we look at what's arriving on streaming platforms this week! Please note that this podcast may contain strong language and even stronger Scottish accents. 

Please note: This episode of Strong Language & Violent Scenes Podcast was recorded live at The Admiral Bar in Glasgow on on March 5th 2020. Please forgive any audible plosives, sound issues or whatever. Also, there was a screen so several of the jokes might not land as well as they would have, had you been there.

Episode 93 sees Andy, Mitch and returning guest, Death Of A Vlogger director Graham Hughes, invite YOU to join them for a discussion on all things Godzilla 1998!  Additional thanks to the staff of The Admiral Glasgow, to Frightfest for their promotion and support, to Mike Hewitt and Louise Buckler at Arrow Video for the goodies and lastly, to the amazing audience, without whom, there wouldn't be a show!  The synopsis is as follows:  During a nuclear test, the French government inadvertently mutates a lizard nest; years later, a giant lizard makes its way to New York City. Dr. Niko Tatopoulos, an

Well, that was the week that was. Another live show in the bag and Glasgow Frightfest disappearing into the rear view mirror. BUT we press on without delay towards Minisode 93!

Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot.

Look, look. I know. I know we only did one of these the other week when Mitch picked Eli Roth's Knock Knock but here we are again. The reason is simple. We have a LIVE show this week that is taking up a lot of our brainpower, not to mention the fact that the apparent runtime of Roland Emmerich's Godzilla is approximately 2 YEARS.  So with that in mind, we thought we would take it easy. So, it's Andy to choose... His chosen film? Hell Comes To Frogtown! 1988. The world was a very different place and especially as it relates to sexual politics and thundering it's way from this tumultuous era comes this film. A film whose plotline would not even get a sniff in if were pitched in 2020. A film spearheaded by late wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. A film with functional camouflage underwear. A film with fez-wearing frogs. It has it all... The synopsis is as follows:  With the 20th Century drawing to a close, nuclear war has wiped out civilization as we know it. The embattled human race s last remaining hope lies

It's the week of Frightfest Glasgow and the week of our LIVE show but for now... it's Minisode 92! Topics include Proxima, Braid and Mitch continues his 90's horror side-quest with Se7en. Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well?

On the subject of the LIVE show, we will be taking over The Hold, in the Admiral Bar in Glasgow from 6pm, where we will be joined by past guest and director of the excellent Death of A Vlogger, Mr Graham Hughes, to discuss Roland Emmerich's 1998 re-imagining of GODZILLA! Tickers cost £3 and

We have had big snakes, a plethora of small slugs and now, big fucking crocodiles and if Andy gets his way, this is a trend that will continue...  This week, Andy and Mitch are  delighted to be joined for Episode 91 by a returning guest! She is the creator and host of online horror channel Fearhaus... It's Blair Bathory! Her chosen film? Lake Placid! Yes! We are going all the way back to 1999 for Steve Miner's Lake Placid, a film with teeth but little bite.  With an impressive cast that includes Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt and the inimitable force of nature that is Betty White, Lake Placid was a monster movie of a time, in a similar vein to Anaconda, but is it actually any good?  The synopsis is as follows:  When a mysterious creature violently kills a man in a Maine lake, Jack Wells, the local game warden, looks into the bizarre case, along with Sheriff Hank Keough and visiting paleontologist Kelly Scott. Looking for clues in a tooth that the beast left behind, Kelly

The storm rages on in Scotland but we are here to keep you warm with our soothing voices in Minisode 91! Topics include Fatih Akin's grimy and grim The Golden Glove, Netflix Original Horse Girl and Mitch continues his 90's horror side-quest with Funny Games.

I really, truly, hope that you have strong constitutions as this one might be the most repulsive kids film ever made... This week, Andy and Mitch are joined by the director of Frankenstein's Creature, the upcoming A Little More Flesh and also, co-host of the excellent Arrow Video Podcast... It's Sam Ashurst! His chosen film? The Garbage Pail Kids Movie! Wow. This one is a doozy. A frequent video shop rental for both Andy and Sam and the first, though not the last, film to be based on a range of Topps trading cards, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is an oft-maligned...experience...that fails as often as it disgusts. That is to say, frequently.  However... Is there a little bit of magic to be found in these revolting little things? Is there a kind of warped morality at play?  Or is it simply garbage?    The synopsis is as follows:  Meet Windy Winston, Messy Tessie, Foul Phil, Valerie Vomit and the whole outrageous Garbage Pail crew. When the stinky bunch are let loose in the junk shop of mysterious Cap

The storm may still be raging but we are here and bang on time with Minisode 90!

Welcome, one and all, to Episode 89 and our second monthly Andy v Mitch episode (or vice versa, depending whose choice it is).  Andy went last time, so you know what that means? It's Mitch's turn!  His chosen film? Knock, Knock!   Sigh...  The synopsis is as follows:  Keanu Reeves stars as Evan Webber, a happily married architect who appears to have everything a man could ever dream of. During a weekend alone, his peaceful existence is interrupted by the sudden arrival of two lost and seemingly innocent young girls. Please note that this episode contains strong language, conversations of an adult nature and EXTREMELY Scottish accents.  Remember, you can keep up to date with our news by following us via the usual social media outlets:  Facebook Twitter Instagram Plus you can drop us an email to stronglanguageviolentscenes@gmail.com.

Phew. Further to yesterday's Bonusode, he's back. Mitch is back in Scotland and here, a little later than planned and a little rougher than we would like, is MINISODE 89! Topics include Rob Grant's Harpoon, aquatic Nic Cage, hunter-on-a-boat flick, Primal, and Mitch talks The Reflecting Skin and, of course, another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot.

I'm really not sure that Stephen King has ever been "hotter" in the minds of horror fans, certainly where film and TV adaptations of his output are concerned. The last two years have seen multiple adaptations including IT, Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep and more recently, HBO's The Outsider. All pretty strong, to be fair.  This week, we are going to look at something a little less beloved. A little less polished, perhaps? And to do so, we are joined by the director of the excellent A Serial Killer's Guide To Life (now available via Arrow Video)... It's Staten Cousins Roe! His chosen film? Children of The Corn! Stephen King adaptations are a tricky proposition. For every Gerald's Game, there's a Carrie remake. For every Misery, there's a Lawnmower Man. For every Shawshank Redemption, there's a Dreamcatcher. Yes, it's fair to say that results vary for book-to-screen adaptations of the Master of Horror's oeuvre.  Back in 1984 saw the release of Children of the Corn. Based on the short story of the same na

Phew. Well, that was Versus! Now that's out the way and the corpses have been reburied, it's onto MINISODE 88! Topics include more on The Prodigy, Mitch and Andy discuss Robert Eggers' maritime double-header The Lighthouse, Andy talks a little about Cats and, of course, another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!  Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below... Apologies for this one!  We also announce the film for this week's main episode.  In addition to all this, we dig into your posts and messages in the Feedback section and tell you what you should be watching as we look at what's arriving on streaming platforms this week!
