Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties Episode 5 - The Beast In Heat (1977)

Season 1 · Episode 5

Tuesday, February 18, 2025 • Duration 01:47:18

Welcome to the episode 5 of Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties.

When you look over the first DPP list, you will see that the most common genre that appears on it is the horror genre. However, horror isn't the only type of films that appear on the list. Another sub-genre that makes quite a number of appearances on the list, is one that's considered on the most controverisal genres in all of exploitation cinema: Nazisploitation. For this episode of the show, your hosts Bede Jermyn & Sam Inglis take on their first Nazisploitation from the list with the 1977 Italian film The Beast In Heat from director Luigi Batzella.

Joining Bede & Sam to discuss this infamous film, is first-time special guest Trevor Snyder (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Failure To Franchise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠). Highlights include Trevor explains now he became aware of the Video Nasty controversy, debate whether The Beast In Heat is a truly terrible film, the hilarious dubbing, praise Macha Magall's campy villianess performance, how this film is strangely linked to a film Bede covered on his show Bede Vs. The Living Dead, wonder whether "The Beast should be in a ⁠gurning contest⁠ and so much more.

WARNING: The following episode features discussionx on confronting topics such as sexual violence and assault. Listener discretion is advised.

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, January 28, 2025 • Duration 01:40:58

Welcome to the episode 4 of Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties. A podast on the Bede Vs. The Living Dead network where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Sam Inglis explore all the films that made the U.K. notorious and infamous Video Nasty list.

After tackling their first American film on the previous episode of the podcast, your hosts Bede & Sam go back into the well of Italian horror cinema for the next film from the DPP list. Not only is one of the big heavy hitters of the Video Nasties, it's also a higly influtential one from the horror genre's greatest filmmakers. For this episode, Bede & Sam take a look the legendary Mario Bava's 1971 proto-slasher film A Bay Of Blood.

What makes this particular episode special, is that your hosts have their fest ever guests on it. Joining Bede & Sam to discuss this Mario Bava classic, are first time guests returning guests Lindsay Wilkins (⁠⁠Schlock & Awe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) and Matt Konopka (⁠⁠⁠⁠KillerHorrorCritic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠). Highlights include Lindsay & Matt explain now they became aware of the Video Nasty controversy, how A Bay Of Blood was precursor to the slasher sub-genre, dabating whether the film's a plot is a little too complicated, the scene that was homaged (or ripped off) in Friday The 13th Part II, what the film is trying to say on a thematic level, Sam's hatred of the ending and so much more.

Tuesday, January 14, 2025 • Duration 01:17:48

Welcome to the episode 3 of Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties. A podast on the Bede Vs. The Living Dead network where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Sam Inglis explore all the films that made the U.K. notorious and infamous Video Nasty list.

For this episode, Bede & Sam look at the 1974 independant horror film Axe (also know as Lisa, Lisa and California Axe Massacre) from writer/director/co-star Frederick R. Friedel.

Highlights include Bede & Sam wondering whether Axe deserved to be on the DPP list, what makes Leslie Lee's performance as "Lisa" interesting, wondering if The Texas Chainsaw Massacre may have inspired the film, the effective supermarket scene, the film's surprising use of humour, the hosts lingering questions about aspects of the story and so much more.

Welcome to the episode 2 of Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties. A podast on the Bede Vs. The Living Dead network where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Sam Inglis explore all the films that made the U.K. notorious and infamous Video Nasty list.

After diving into their first film from the DDP list on the previous episode with Joe D'Amato's 1981 film Absurd, your hosts Bede & Sam are tackling another film from D'Amato in a row for this second installment of the podcast. In fact, you could make an argument that *this* is even more controversial than Absurd . For this episode, Bede & Sam look at D'Amato's infamous 1980 horror film Antropophagus: The Beast a.k.a. Antropophagus starring George Eastman, Tisa Farrow Zora Kerova, Saverio Vallone, Serena Grandi, Margaret Mazzantini & Mark Bodin.

Highlights include Bede & Sam debating whether Antropophagus is better or worst than Absurd, Sam's hatred for the film's score, praising the film's atmosphere and dread, the differences between the English and Italian dubs, is Arnold the worst husband ever?, the film's most infamous scene and so much more.

Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties Episode 0 - An Introduction To The Video Nasties

Episode 1

Tuesday, December 10, 2024 • Duration 28:56

Welcome to the introductionary episode 0 of Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties. A podast on the Bede Vs. The Living Dead network, where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Sam Inglis explore all the films that made the U.K. notorious and infamous Video Nasty list.

Well, everyone. After announcing it on Halloween, Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties has finally arrived. Your hosts Bede & Sam are both excitied (and even a little terrified) about diving into the topic of the Video Nasties as it one that both hosts separately wanted to do a podcast on before they decided to team up for this one. Before they release their first official episode, Bede & Sam felt it was important that they dedicate this one by going over the history of the Video Nasties with how it came to be, who organised it, what it meant for film censorship and so much more. If you're unfamiliar with the era, this will both equally fascinate and anger you. That's a guarantee. Sit back, relax and enjoy! Social Media Links:

Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties Episode 6 - Blood Feast (1963)

Season 1 · Episode 6

Saturday, March 8, 2025 • Duration 01:32:51

Welcome to the episode 6 of Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties.

So far for the podcast, most of the films that your hosts Bede Jermyn & Sam Inglis have tackled from the Section 1 DDP have been films that were released in the '70s and '80s. Which is understandble given that violence, sex and gore had become a bit more extreme during those decades in film. However back in the early '60s, filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis (The Wizard Of Gore, Two Thousand Maniacs!) challeneged cinema's approach to onscreen violence with his landmark 1963 indie splatter film Blood Feast.

Joining Bede & Sam to discuss this very bloody influential bit of cinema is first-time guest John Seavey (⁠⁠Half Price Horror⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠). Highlights include how John first became aware of the Video Nasties, the hilarious bad performances from the cast, Bede being amazed how a film this gory came out in 1963, praise the film's low budget charm, wonder if Mal Arnold's performance was inspired by Bela Lugosi and so much more.
