Strong Language & Violent Scenes Podcast

Firstly, I just want to say a huge apology for this week's episode. A premises adjacent to SVPC HQ decided to do some hammering mid recording. I hope it doesn't mar your listening experience too greatly. Anyway, onto EPISODE 69! The guest this week is coming fresh from the World Premiere of his latest feature film Death of A Vlogger at Frightfest... It's the truly delightful, Graham Hughes! His chosen film? The Ghost and The Darkness! Directed by Stephen Hopkins, the man behind Predator 2 and A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, TGATD marks a weather change in Hopkins' output, moving from straight horror, to old-timey adventure epic. The film stars Val Kilmer (rocking a terrible Irish accent), producer and actor Michael Douglas, Tom Wilkinson and Emily Mortimer and sees our heroes set against a duo of man-eating lions in Kenya.  The Synopsis is as follows: Sir Robert Beaumont is behind schedule on a railroad in Africa. Enlisting noted engineer John Henry Patterson to right the ship, Beaumo

 It's the first episode after Frightfest and, yes, Mitch and Andy are both back in the room for this, EPISODE 68! The guest this week is...well...he's horror royalty and one of the loveliest people in the genre. He's perhaps best known for his appearances in Clive Barker's Hellraiser, Hellbound: Hellraiser II and Nightbreed. He also crops up in Stewart Sparke's Book of Monsters, Lawrie Brewster's anthology For We Are Many and Andy's short film, Remnant.  As if that's not enough, he is also gearing up for his first one-man show, I Am Monsters... It's the Chatterer Cenobite himself, our good pal, Nicholas Vince! His chosen film? Hellbent! Tagged as the first gay slasher film, Hellbent is a largely forgotten curiosity from 2004. Which is a bit of a shame to be honest. Not without it's problems but there's still a lot to like. It's not the easiest film to get your mitts on but seek it out.    The Synopsis is as follows: A group of gay friends is celebrating Halloween in West Hollywood, a neighborhood th

Mitch is in London, Andy's in Glasgow, yet both are watching Frightfest films... Topics include a little look at some Frightfest films (longer reviews to follow) including Ant Timpson's Come To Daddy, Alexandre Aja's Crawl, Andre Ovredal's Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark and Graham Hughes' excellent Death of A Vlogger! Andy also talks Cruising and The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot! We have barely scratched the surface as it relates to Frightfest. Stay Tuned!  In addition to this, we still chip away, interminably, at the ShockWaves 100 and read out your feedback! ALSO, 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.

Greetings from Frightfest! Well, Mitch is there. Andy is home editing. Our guest is ALSO there.  And she is a returning guest. You may remember her from Episode 39 of this show where she joined us to take a look at Anaconda and now, she's back to take a look at the first of the sequelsssss.  She is the director of the short films Call Girl, The Stylist, 42 Counts and the Frightfest 2019 short selection One Last Meal... It's Jill Gevargizian! (PS... Jill is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the feature length version of The Stylist. You could worse than throwing some coin at this one) The film? Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid! How will this stack up against the first? Find out within!  The Synopsis is as follows: Bill Johnson leads a group of scientists into the jungles of Borneo. They are searching for the mythical black orchid, which can supposedly grant eternal life. Unfortunately, massive anacondas have been feeding on the orchids for years. When their boat goes over a wate

It's finally here! Frightfest week! Sadly, due to impending fatherhood, Andy has had to bow out of the festival but Mitch will be there, mooching about! However, that's for later in the week. For now... It's Minisode 66! Topics include a look at the "what if Superman was a wee bad bastard" flick, Brightburn, Mitch revisits Bobcat Goldthwaite's Willow Creek and Mitch delves into the sordid heart of smoky Netflix thriller, Secret Obsession! Also, find out how Mitch is getting on with the ShockWaves 100 and learn the identity of the guest and film for this week's show!  ALSO, 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.

Well, it had to happen again. The dreaded last minute cancellation brings the Frightfest streak to a close but it's another Mitch v Andy episode and still kind of Frightfest adjacent... It should've been Andy's turn but Mitch swooped in... His chosen film? There Are Monsters! A film that (outrageously) closed Frightfest Glasgow in 2015, They Are Monsters is ALMOST a found footage film, almost works and is almost decent. Almost.  The Synopsis is as follows: There Are Monsters is a feature length horror based upon the apocalyptic premise that the world is being taken over - slowly, quietly and efficiently - by creatures that look exactly like us. The story follows a graduate-student film crew who, on a work-related road trip, discover evidence of these doppelgangers. 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 our news by following us via the usual social media outlets:  Facebook T

Frightfest is nearing. 2 weeks away now! And our streak still shows no signs of abating as this week, for EPISODE 65, we are joined by the director of Frightfest 2019 selection Satanic Panic, a film that made both Andy and Mitch's "Most Anticipated" lists... It's Chelsea Stardust! Her chosen film? Brain Damage! From legendary shlockster Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case/Frankenhooker) comes this wonder. Truly exceptional. The synopsis below says it all. Enjoy!  The Synopsis is as follows: An unwary teenager falls into a deadly relationship with a centuries-old parasite that thrives on human brains.

 Our continued mission to nab as many people with films at Frightfest, or appearing in films at Frightfest, or in any way involved with this year's festival shows no signs of abating as this week, for EPISODE 64, we are joined by the director of Frightfest 2019 selection I Trapped The Devil... It's Josh Lobo! His chosen film? The Mothman Prophecies!   A true oddity here. The Mothman Prophecies is a baffling 2002 cryptid-hunt starring Laura Linney, Will Patton and a perpetually squinting Richard Gere. Is it good? Fuck knows. Get in touch with your thoughts. Preferably by phone.  Oh and apologies to Richard Gere. We KNOW you didn't... you know... (wink) The Synopsis is as follows: Supernatural thriller focusing on a journalist whose wife experienced a strange moth-like vision immediately before she was killed in a car accident. Two years later, driving to an interview, he suddenly finds himself hundreds of miles out of his way in the remote town of Point Pleasant, where there has been a proliferation

Another SLVS first this week as we are joined once again by a past guest. But wait! Havent you lads done that before? Yes! But this time, the guest reached out to us and pitched us an episode idea and it's one we couldn't pass up.  So, we are joined once again by an old pal in the form of director of Dementia: Part 2, star of Beyond the Gates, The Minds Eye and Jill Gevargizian's upcoming One Last Meal, not to mention being the producer of Frightfest 2019 selection Bliss... It's Matt Mercer! His chosen film? Ravenous! Its Antonia Bird's criminally unloved and underseen cannibal flick which stars Guy Pearce, Jeremy Davies, features an all too brief appearance by David Arquette and also is notable for an absolutely scene-stealing and stellar performance from Robert Carlyle.  Don't miss this one.  The Synopsis is as follows: Upon receiving reports of missing persons at Fort Spencer, a remote Army outpost on the Western frontier, Capt. John Boyd investigates. After arriving at his new post, Boyd and hi

The body-hopping antics of Jason Goes To Hell are behind us and we continue our hot streak of back-to-back minisodes where both Andy and Mitch are in the same room with Minisode 62!

With Episode 62, we gleefully continue the stomp towards this years' Frightfest with another chat with a festival adjacent director... This time, it is the man behind the short film Retribution, the feature film The Three Don'ts and the Frightfest 2019 selection The Perished... It's Paddy Murphy! His chosen film? Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday! Yes! Jason is back in this, the ninth installment in the slasher franchise. Released in 1993 and helmed by 23 year old director Adam Marcus (Secret Santa), Jason Goes to Hell was the first in the series to step away from the familiar stalk-and-slash formula to something a little more supernatural. Does it succeed? That's up to you!    The Synopsis is as follows: After being blown away by a team of FBI agents, Jason Voorhees needs to find a way to overcome certain death. When his bloodied remains are sent to the morgue, his heart, still intact, is able to hypnotize a coroner and take over his body. After brutally dispatching a couple of FBI agents, he h

The inexorable march towards Episode 100 continues with THIS, Episode 61, in which Andy & Mitch are joined by the director of 2015 Frightfest hit Road Games (also available on Shudder) and the director of the closing film of this year's festival, A Good Woman Is Hard To Find... It's Abner Pastoll! His chosen film? The Collector! From the minds of the men behind the Feast franchise and the later Saw sequels comes this extremely gory home-invasion thriller of sorts. Originally intended as a prequel to Saw, The Collector now stands as it's own franchise with one sequel, The Collection, already out in the world and a third, The Collected, to follow...  Cat lovers, be warned... The Synopsis is as follows: Desperate for money to pay off a debt, a man targets a wealthy family's home and plans to break in and steal a valuable gem. He soon learns that he picked the wrong night to carry out his plans, for a masked madman has gotten there first, imprisoned the family, and lined the mansion with deadly traps.

It's almost over. Soon, Mitch's familiar engagements will be wrapped up and in the past meaning that your intrepid hosts will soon be reunited IN PERSON! However, that's not going to be this week as Mitch is still up in the Grampians! Alas the show must go on with THIS! It's Minisode 60! Topics include the first few episodes of Stranger Things 3, kid-gone-bad horror thriller The Prodigy, Peter Strickland's "killer dress" flick In Fabric and, of course, Ari Aster's latest, the much anticipated Midsommar!  Also, find out how Mitch is getting on with the ShockWaves 100 and learn the identity of the guest and film for this week's show!  ALSO, 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.

Welcome all to this, EPISODE 60 and to another episode covering a film that is truly dear to our hearts! Our guest this week is a man of many whose by-lines can be found on some of the world's biggest genre news outlets including Bloody-Disgusting and Andy's old writing home at Scream Magazine, not to mention now covering horror films for NME... it's Howard Gorman! (Andy here! I'd also like to apologise to both Howard & Mitch for making an arse of the sound) His chosen film? Death Spa! This is a film that is as hard-coded into the DNA of this show as Slugs or C.H.U.D. Haven't heard of it? It is pretty easy to find. You must watch it. That's all I have to say on that... The Synopsis is as follows: The new fitness club in town has everything a health nut could ever want: a variety of workout machines, classes taught by friendly (and frisky) instructors, and a state-of-the-art computer control system for maximum client comfort. Unfortunately i' s also possessed by the evil spirit of the owner's dead w
