Episode 64 - Showgirls (1995) - "Straight Pornography for Gay Men"

Season 1 · Episode 64

Friday, December 26, 2025 • Duration 01:27:00

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our final episode of the year; our Vegas Revue! This week on the pod we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of the all-time cult, sleaze classics in Paul Veerhovens’ “Showgirls”. A film so equally bad and incredible, it defies conventional critique; though that didn’t stop scores of audiences upon its release from doing just that. Join us as we talk about the films abysmal initial release and the ensuing damages it left in its wake, specifically to that of star Elizabeth Berkley’s career. But honestly, we chalk it up to a generation that just wasn’t ready for the camp gold that this film is, and a major misstep on the marketing department with how they sold the film. Plus, aggressive gesturing, so much sex it’s actually a turn off, and one incredibly out of left field sexual assault that really didn’t need to be here! Prepare to be equal parts entertained and horrified, because that’s what we do best here on “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Episode 63 - Downfall (2004) - "Hitler was a Messy Bitch"

Season 1 · Episode 63

Friday, December 12, 2025 • Duration 01:29:10

On this weeks episode, we’re back in the trenches of war; literally. Only this time these trenches are more like a bunker full of Nazis! Yes, we’re strapped in to watch the final days of Nazi Germany as it all comes crashing down on their stupid heads in the 2004 film “Downfall”. Join us as we talk about what a messy queen that Hitler was as we breakdown one of the most nuanced performances of histories greatest monster that we’ve ever seen. While moments of this film work to test the viewers sense of empathy; evoking moments of clarity akin to members of Jonestown in the final days on the compound in Guyana, it never fails to carry the salient reminder that “Yes, they are Nazi’s and yes, they deserve this.” Also discussed, the messiness of humanizing the monster, Fascism as a fashion statement first and foremost, and how DO you say “Goebbels?” ? Come Celebrate the Holidays the only way we know how, with mass death and destruction, here on I Didn’t Need to See that!

Episode 62 - All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) - "Hell is Trench Warfare"

Season 1 · Episode 62

Friday, November 21, 2025 • Duration 01:25:14

This week on the podcast, Hell is trench warfare. We’re settling in proper to the new Dad-cast format (for now at least) as we embrace our inner history buffs while still being gluttons for punishment. We watched the 2022 WW1 Epic “All Quiet on the Western Front”. Listen as we discuss the truly inspiring origins of this adaptation and learn just how much work it is to keep an option on a script (we learned something today too!). Oh and don’t worry, we’ll give you some of the cliff notes of the real world context as best we can in an hour podcast episode about a film. Differences between the original text and this film aside, the film looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous and gets way more graphic than an Oscar picture has any right to be. Also discussed on todays episode, the epidemic of missing editors on films in the streaming age, the battle between selfcare and sleep, and the question everyones begging to know the answer to.. Do you like to read while stoned? All this and more on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Episode 61 - The Ugly Stepsister (2025) - "Nothing Tastes as Good as Ingesting a Tapeworm Feels"

Season 1 · Episode 61

Friday, November 7, 2025 • Duration 01:08:54

Get ready to suck in that muffin top, shed a few pounds and put on your best dress because we’re going to the ball, Cinderella! This week on the pod we watched a body horror delight from this year in “The Ugly Stepsister”. Join us as we discussed the nuanced nature of this messy lead character who only kind of deserves what she’s got coming to her. But let’s be real, in this fantastic depiction of 1800’s Norway (and in any time period really), being a woman is about survival of the fittest; or in this case, the thinnest. From the gruesome depiction of the primitive forms of body modification, to the suffocating societal norms our lead is subjected to, we watch as our leading lady goes to “great lengths” to make herself beautiful as we wince and squirm the whole way. Also discussed on today’s episode, snap decisions while stuck in traffic, parenting tips for Halloween, and do Tapeworms really love milk? Find out on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Episode 60 - Dead Alive! (1992) - "Good Disgusting Fun"

Friday, October 17, 2025 • Duration 01:10:57

This week on the pod we’re heading down under (Kinda) for a continued discussion on Video Nasties (But, not really) as we watched a classic in both New Zealand film and splatter horror in Peter Jacksons (yes, THAT one) 1992 Horror Comedy, Dead Alive! Join us as we turn our brains off for a putrid good time. It’s a movie that you can see, smell, hear and taste from beginning to end, and you’ll surely want a second helping of this slop! Join us as we laud this as a great pick to put on at a party with your friends, if your friends like dismembered corpses that is. We speculate whether or not this is cannon with Jackson’s remake of King Kong and note more than just one allusion to inspiration from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”. Also discussed, the slapstick “Muppet-ness” of the New Zealand sense of humor, timeless practical effects, and CAN you show hog on instagram? You’ve got more blood and guts than you’ll know what to do with on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need To See That!”

Episode 59 - Faces of Death (1978) - "Gods Blooper Reel"

Friday, October 3, 2025 • Duration 01:22:54

I Didn’t Need To See That: Return of the Dadcast! After a month hiatus while Pete ascends to fatherhood, we’ve replenished our tanks, recharged our batteries and are ready to subject our pure, clean bodies back into the swamp. This month on the pod, we’re dusting off an old chestnut by billing a double header and finally delving into the topic of Video Nasties! What the hell is a video nasty? Exactly what it sounds like. We’re busting open this bag of guts with the movie so controversial it was banned in 46 countries, 1978’s “Faces of Death”. Join us as we ask ourselves, “where does faces of death fit into a modern world?”. Is it rendered obsolete by the onslaught of dead bodies we can see on the internet, or does it serve as a macabre predecessor of something kids of a certain generation have become all too desensitized towards. Also discussed on today’s episode; horny spam texts, how to survive in a scam economy, and the joys of fatherhood. All this and more on this week’s episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Episode 58 - Kids (1995) - "Summer Lovin', Got Me Some AIDS"

Season 1 · Episode 58

Friday, August 22, 2025 • Duration 01:27:10

Youth is wasted on the young, especially when the youth is too wasted to remember what the hell happened. This week on the pod, we’re closing out Bummer Summer with the granddaddy of cautionary tales to the restless youth of America with Larry Clark’s 1995 film “Kids”. Join us as we revel in the horror of what it’s like to experience this film through the lens of adults and reminisce on our own teenage fuckery. We’ll cover the very messy and questionable production history of this film and how the final product feels at once a true authentic representation of teens in America, and outright exploitation of those same teens. It’s a mixed bag to say the least. Also discussed in today’s episode; Just how much sex are teens actually having, separating the nostalgia from the child pornography, and is there really any ethical way to depict teens as they truly are? Also, Kids; wear a damn condom! All this and more on this week’s episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Episode 57 - Requiem For A Dream (2000) - "Heroin Rules Everything Around Me"

Season 1 · Episode 57

Friday, August 8, 2025 • Duration 01:40:56

This week, bring the tissues and some Narcan because we’re about to overdose on sadness. This week we’re watching everyone’s favorite anti-drug PSA via way of Darren Aronofsky with his 2000 dram “Requiem for a Dream”. Join as Pete dives down memory lane with his first encounter with a movie that was so bleak it made him want to take a shower, and Aaron comes at this without the fondness of 2000’s filmmaking style. While we may not be able to agree on whether or not the film still works for a modern audience, we can absolutely agree on a few things. The score absolutely holds up, Marlon Wayans is way too ripped to play a drug addict, and there’s no such thing as a fun heroin movie. It also goes without saying that no matter what our feelings on this movie are, this is a film whose imprint can be felt on cinema even to this day. Plus, Spoilers for the new film “Eddington”, learn that James Gunn gives a shit about us, and sometimes people need to be in a psyche ward. Get ready because this one’s a sad one! All this and more on a very Patriotic episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Episode 56 - Stroszek (1977) - "Vintage Midwestern Sprawl"

Season 1 · Episode 56

Friday, July 25, 2025 • Duration 01:19:58

This week on the pod, we’re heading overseas to bleak, cold world of Berlin in the 1970’s; but only for a moment before we break free to the sunny shores of… Wisconsin! Yes we’re continuing our mini-theme on breaking the facade of the American dream, only this time through the eyes of an immigrant seeking better opportunities and cheaper beer in the 1977 film; Stroszek. On today’s episode, we talk briefly about how Stroszek, and last week’s film “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” are in conversation with one another; and while in this film the American dream isn’t literally breaking your body, it sure is going to break your spirit. Try as our beloved, drunken main character might; once you’ve got a single knock against you in this life, it’s nearly impossible to get yourself back up. Also discussed today, our first time coverage of a Werner Herzog film, the endless mirroring of our main character as a prototype of Charlie Kelly, and good ol’ vintage, midwestern sprawl. All this and more on a very Patriotic episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Episode 55 - They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969) - "Ain't That The American Way"

Season 1 · Episode 55

Friday, July 11, 2025 • Duration 01:34:54

Yowza, Yowza, Yowza! Welcome back to another great episode of I Didn’t Need To See that, and boy do we got a show for you. Join us as we celebrate one of the finest era’s in American History, an era so foundational, so inspiring, so truly American we couldn’t help but put “Great” Right in it’s name as we journey back to the Great Depression with 1969’s “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” That’s right, saddle up as we run these patriots like the dogs they are. On this episode we break down the true, existential timelessness of the message of this film. In a world where hope is a sham and opportunity is just a word we use to exploit the poor for the entertainment of the rich, there’s only one solution… to DANCE! Also on today’s episode, the tragedy of Gig Young, we find out that American existentialist literature isn’t actually so popular in America, and witness the return… of Dobbytoks! All this and more on a very Patriotic episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”
