A movie from this century? On this podcast? Well, it feels like it's from 1985, if it helps. Malignant was sold as a giallo when it's really the most expensive direct to video movie ever made. I kind of love that someone gave James Wan $40 million to make the kind of movie that cost a few hundred thousand in the VHS days.

Michael Winner didn't just make violent movies and try to live only on steak tartare. He also made this comedy about the Golden Age of Hollywood. Won Ton Ton the Dog Who Saved Hollywood is one of the mid 70s movies that tries to put as many cameos in as possible and hopes that you won't notice the movie isn't all that great. Why am I doing an episode about it? Because these kind of movies are the ones I get obsessed about.

Skullduggery (also known as Warlock and Blood Puzzle) is a 1983 slasher where the devil uses a role-playing game and a cursed boy named Adam to kill people. Everyone works in a costume story and is involved in community theater. It came out on VHS from by Media Home Entertainment and Video Treasures.

Igor and the Lunatics was financed by Troma Entertainment and they disliked the movie so much that they did extensive reshoots. Just think -- a movie too poor for Troma! A cult made up of Paul, Igor and Bernard go to jail and when they get out, they start killing all over again.
