Yeah there's no movie here. We talk about movies a bit. We were trying something new. Shut up.

Episode One Hundred and Thirty-Two: Censor (2021)

You want more independent horror? We've got so much more. This week we bring a proper period piece from Thatcher's England. It's the height of the Video Nasty panic, and debut director Prano Bailey-Bond is bringing the goods.  Additionally, James decided to fix his audio this week, so this one's listenable. You're welcome.

Episode One Hundred and Thirty-One: The Last Thing Mary Saw (2021)

The wheel was merciful this time. Independent horror is a generous well. Our only real downside is that Frye really doesn't like horror and it's up to Russ to drag him along, kicking and screaming. Our setting is upstate New York in 1843 and our theme is witchcraft. This is all feeling very familiar. Pun intended. 

Also James decided to record his audio with a megaphone this time. It's good that his brand-new fancy water-rig sounds like being waterboarded. Apologies.

Russ went to Vegas this week, so you're getting more of our outtake dreck. We'll be back next week with our usual nonsense. Here's hoping you like talk about video games and everyone's personal life.

Enjoy!

Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Nine: Theri (2016)

थेरी (2016)

Action. Musical. Well, you knew we'd have to be crossing some oceans for this one. If we need guns and explosions and romance and singing and dancing we're definitely headed for Bollywood. When your writer / director operates off a mononym, you know you're in for a good time.

Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Expelled from Paradise (2014)

楽園追放 (2014)

Animated. Thriller. Those are two words that seldom appear side-by-side, but Russ and Frye are always up for a challenge. Did you like The Matrix? Gundam Wing? Trigun? Dune? What if they all had a baby? And then that baby grew up to only provide fanservice? You just might end up with Expelled from Paradise.

Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Spin Me Round (2022)

As of last week, we still haven't found something James likes. The wheel wanted independent drama, and that theme generally contains very few pirates, lighthouses, oilmen, or Cthulhu. He's just not biting, and we're getting bored of this category. It's up to Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, and Olive Garden to seal the deal.
