Strong Language & Violent Scenes Podcast

Oh man. It had to happen eventually. There had to come a time where Mitch and the guest would lost the thread and it would fall to Andy to endeavour to keep the show on the rails. As you can imagine, that doesn't go well! Find out in Episode 87 where your pals/hosts are joined by the director of the excellent short The Home (and many more)... It's L. Gustavo Cooper! His chosen film? Versus! Strap yourselves in, folks. This one is WILD! Coming from the nu-metal days of 2000 and from the mind of Ryuhei Kitamura who brought us Midnight Meat Train, No One Lives and Downrange, comes VERSUS, an absolute batshit bonkers mash-up of Samurai, Yakuza and zombie films with a supernatural edge that makes for a tricky but fun chat!  Check it out and let us know YOUR thoughts via the usual channels!  The synopsis is as follows:  There are 666 portals to the other side, and somewhere in Japan lies the home of the 444th. It is here that Prisoner KSC2-303 escapes from his fellow inmates to rendezvous with a group of m

Hello folks. All recovered from The Visitor? Great! No time to rest as it's onwards to MINISODE 87! Topics include Billy Senese's The Dead Center and Christophe Deroo's Sam Was Here. Also, an update on the Shock Waves 100 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!  s 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!

You may recall in the last Minisode that we announced that, once a month, for scheduling reasons and a wee change of pace, that we will releasing an Andy/Mitch episode as a matter of course.  Today is that day. The first of twelve. And it's Andy's turn!  His chosen film? The Visitor! Steel yourself. It doesn't get much weirder. This is the film that the term "oddity" was invented for. Re-discovered by Drafthouse Films, The Visitor includes a cast to blow your mind! Lance Henriksen, John Huston, Mel Ferrer, Shelley Winters, Sam Peckinpah and an incredible turn by Franco Nero as Jesus! It's a wild old time. Be won over!  The synopsis is as follows:  At first glance, Katy Collins is just like any other normal 8-year-old girl but appearances can dangerously deceptive. As it turns out, Katy is the Earthly incarnation of an ancient evil by the name of Sateen, an intergalactic supernatural entity who was vanquished many light years ago. Katy possesses tremendous powers making her capable of great destruct

A new week dawns as we continue the relentless march through January. The scythe is remorseless, friends. However, with that nihilistic thought ringing in your ears, why not lighten the mood with THIS! MINISODE 86! Topics include Kurt Harder's Spiral, the UK blu-ray of IT: Chapter Two and a look at the BBC adaptation of Dracula. We DO NOT have a ShockWaves 100 film but we DO have 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 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!

Good morning! Join us for Episode 85, won't you? This one is a doozy... This week, we are delighted to be joined by the director of Frightfest 2019 selection Sadistic Intentions... It's Eric Pennycoff! His chosen film? Mortal Kombat: Annihilation! Considered by Mitch to be "quite possibly the worst film we have ever done", MK: A is the direct sequel to Paul W.S. Anderson's 1995 video game adaptation and, as mediocre as that film is, the sequel is a horse of a different colour.   With James Remar replacing Christopher Lambert as Lord Raiden and only Robin Shou and Talisa Soto reprising their roles from the first film, cinematographer-turned-director John R. Leonetti (Annabelle, Wish Upon) steps into the directing seat for a film that is often considered one of the worst films of the 1990s. Did I mention it cost $30 million? The synopsis is as follows:  Every generation, a portal opens up between the Outerworld and Earth. Emperor Shao-Kahn, ruler of the mythical Outerworld, pounces the moment the porta

SOUND WARNING: Andy here. I don't know what happened with Mitch's audio but there's a really pervasive and worsening echo on his side. I did my best to mitigate it. I hope it doesn't affect your listening pleasure. Right! Enough grovelling. Here we go with MINISODE 85! Topics include 101 Films' recent blu-ray release of Prom Night and Netflix techy nonsense, AMI! In addition to this, Mitch continues to chip away, interminably, at the ShockWaves 100 BUT it is Number 99! AND we have 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...

Well, it's official. It's 2020 and we are back, proper! So, without further ado... Here is Episode 84! This week, we are delighted to be joined by horror writer and the co-host of the A Nice Chianti Podcast (alongside our old pal Zoe Rose Smith)... It's John Crinan! His chosen film? Congo! Back in 1995, Michael Crichton was flavour of the month, due in no small part to the not inconsiderable success of Jurassic Park, and ahead of the glut of adaptations that would follow. Nestled in among the early offerings is Congo!  Directed by Frank Marshall (Alive, Arachnophobia) and boasting an all-star cast which features Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson, Bruce Campbell, Joe Don Baker, Joe Pantoliano and Mitch's favourite, Laura Linney, Congo is an old-school actioner injected with 90's tech nonsense.  But is it any good?  The synopsis is as follows:  Scientist Karen Ross is sent by her father-in-law, mogul R.B. Travis, to the Congo to determine the whereabouts of his son's missing diamond-hunting team. Led by exper

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are back for 2020 and more determined than ever to bring you the same nonsense that you've come to expect and a little more to boot! So, right back into it with MINISODE 84! Topics include Netflix's The Witcher, HBO's Watchmen, some video games including Control and Death Stranding and a chat about Cats! Plus Mitch looks at some Christmas offerings! In addition to this, Mitch continues to chip away, interminably, at the ShockWaves 100 and we have 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.

SURPRISE! I know we said that we were done for the year but that's not strictly true. So here we come with a little surprise for you all, like a pair of pissed up Santas, with a BONUSODE about our favourite episodes of the year.  That said, every single one of our guests have been incredible and we would like to extend our thanks to every one and hope to have you all back on again!  Also, lastly, massive thanks to YOU, the listener.

Ho Ho Ho! Good morning and welcome to EPISODE 83, our last episode of 2019! Massive thanks to all listeners and guests who have made 2019 so amazing. We will return with a Minisode at midnight on Monday, 6th January, with our first full Episode coming at 8am on Friday, 10th January.  So, we end the year as we did last year, with an Andy and Mitch episode and a film that neither host has a particularly vested interest in... The chosen film? Jack Frost! Not to be confused with the heart-warming (if no less sinister) family film of the same name from the following year which sees Michael Keaton die only to be resurrected as a snowman, Jack Frost 1997 is an icy slice of festive trash with a mean-spirit which features the debut of American Pie's Shannon Elizabeth in a scene that has not aged particularly well... That said... Is there fun to be found here?   Jack Frost is currently available on Amazon Prime.  The synopsis is as follows:  As notorious serial killer Jack Frost is being driven to his executi

Christmas is bearing down on us as you might have noticed from the return of our festive theme. So we decided that the time had come for another head to head episode. No cancellation. No last minute decision. We simply wanted to do one.  And it's Mitch's turn again...  His chosen film? Body! A film that Mitch caught in an odd afternoon slot at Frightfest 2015, Body is the feature debut of directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, who have since gone on to direct Stake Land 2 and Villains, starring The Guest's Maika Monroe. With a timely festive vibe, Body is claustrophobic little chamber piece that features an appearance by the ever-excellent Larry Fessenden. BUT as always, the question is... Is it any good? The Synopsis is as follows: Three young women face a moral dilemma when they accidentally kill a groundskeeper at a secluded mansion. Please note that this episode contains strong language, conversations of an adult nature and some EXTREMELY Scottish accents.  Remember, you can keep up to date with

LET'S DO THIS! It's MINISODE 80! Topics include neck-beard's favourite Rian Johnson's latest Knives Out, Second Sight's new blu-ray release of an old favourite in the form of John McPhail's Anna & The Apocalypse and also, the thing that made Andy smile the most this week... A long-awaited look at Criterion's Godzilla: The Showa Years - 1954-1975 blu-ray set. 15 films and ZERO time. In addition to this, Mitch continues to chip away, interminably, at the ShockWaves 100 and we have 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.

We are back on track with the episode numbering so it brings me great delight to bring YOU, Episode 80! This week, we are delighted to be bringing back a former guest. We had him on the show before talking Seed of Chucky and he's back again! He is the co-director and programmer of the Soho Horror Film Festival, which just enjoyed a highly successful sophomore event... It's Mitch Harrod! His chosen film? A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge! After the success of A Nightmare On Elm Street, it seemed plausible that a sequel would be a surefire money-spinner, much to series creator Wes Craven's annoyance. So it fell to director Jack Sholder to bring Freddy back for a second time in a film that performed well but was regarded poorly.  That's not even the interesting stuff... Dig in for an in-depth look at the themes within the film and the sexual politics at play.  The synopsis is as follows:  Jesse Walsh moves with his family into the home of the lone survivor from a series of attacks by dream-stalking

LET'S DO THIS! It's MINISODE 80! Topics include The End of The F***ing World, Ethan Hawke vehicle Predestination, Nacho Vigalondo's Timecrimes and much more. In addition to this, Mitch continues to chip away, interminably, at the ShockWaves 100 and we have another instalment 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.

It's Episode 79-B! Wait. What? Regular listeners will now know that Andy made an arse of the episode numbering after our recent week off. So, to pull things linear again, meet Episode 79-B! Episode 80 arrives next Friday.  So! To business then! This week, we are delighted to be joined by the director of Frightfest Presents title SECRET SANTA and, amazingly, the director of JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY, which affords him the dubious honour of being the first guest to come onto the show AFTER we covered one of their films...  It's Adam Marcus! His chosen film? Cruising! Back in 1980, it's fair to say that a film like William Friedkin's Cruising caused something of a stir. Vilified by the gay community, the censors and based on real slayings in New York, it remains a controversial film today but it's also an audacious and important film.  Starring Al Pacino, Paul Sorvino, Karen Allen and show favourite Joe Spinell, Cruising has lost none of its power. So join us for a chat that includes poppers,

It's Monday! November is getting chilly but lets our warm voices blow away the cold. It's MINISODE 79! Topics include Joe Begos' 16mm headfuck Bliss, David Cronenberg's Maps To The Stars and Lætitia Colombani's 2002 psychological thriller He Loves Me...Loves Me Not. In addition to this, Mitch continues to chip away, interminably, at the ShockWaves 100 and we have another instalment 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.

It's Friday! It's Episode 79 and this week's guest might have a way to go to when making his case for this week's chosen film.  So first, the guest! This week, we are delighted to be joined by the director of Shudder Exclusive Found Footage 3D, the excellent short film Stop and co-host of Science vs Fiction Podcast ... It's Steven DeGennaro! His chosen film? Sucker Punch! Coming hot on the heels of Watchmen, Sucker Punch was, and remains, the only film from director Zack Snyder that is not based on an existing IP. Derided at the time of release for being misogynistic at best, offensive at worst, the film is certainly divisive.  Is the vitriol deserved or is there more to be found here?  The synopsis is as follows:  Locked away, a young woman named Babydoll retreats to a fantasy world where she is free to go wherever her mind takes her. Determined to fight for real freedom, she finds four women -- Rocket, Blondie, Amber and Sweet Pea -- to join together to escape the terrible fate that awaits them. W
