Myself and Chris catch up on all that has entertained us since we last recorded together (plus go off on tangents about breast milk, rabbits, flatulence, bourbon, crackling headsets and sniffing celebrities). Make sure to listen to the very end and see if you can help Dave FINALLY sort out his microphone problems. In this episode we […]
Blu-ray: The Bloodstained Butterfly (1971) My introduction into the genre of Giallo began (like many other people) in the 1980’s and the movies of Dario Argento on VHS. The lurid colours, assured direction and twisting storylines had me hooked to such classics as Deep Red, Suspiria, Inferno, Tenebre and many more by a plethora of other directors […]
Blu-ray: Matinee (1993) Set against the backdrop of the Cuban missile crisis, Matinee tells the story of Gene Loomis (Simon Fenton), a boy whose obsession with sci-fi and horror movies masks his loneliness at always being ‘the new boy in town’ as his Fathers Navy career moves them from military base to military base around the country. […]

DVD: Kidnapped (1971) There have been various filmed versions of Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Kidnapped‘, but for me it is the dual leading roles of Michael Caine as Alan Breck, and Lawrence Douglas as David Balfour which makes this my preferred adaptation, plus the beautiful end title song ‘For All My Days‘ by Mary Hopkin is the audio […]
Blu-ray: Invasion: UFO (1974) UFO is television series which was a firm favourite of mine growing up in the ’70s and yet I can’t ever recall having seen this previously, so I was very excited when this disc appeared through the post thanks to Network on Air. Although originally released in 1974 (1980 in the U.S.A.), Invasion: UFO is an […]
Blu-ray: Microwave Massacre (1983) Microwave Massacre opens with a scene where Marla Simon (playing the role of ‘knothole girl’…you’ll find out why she’s called that in just a moment) walks scantily dressed down the streets of Los Angeles. All boobs and bum, director Wayne Berwick makes the most of Marla’s ample charms, which culminates in her […]
Blu-ray: The Count Yorga Collection (1970, 1971) Count Dracula was introduced to cinema audiences in Tod Browning’s 1931 classic ‘Dracula‘; a suave vampire who impressed his future victims with his confident and aristocratic demeanour, a far cry from Count Orlok in Nosferatu who kept himself hidden in the shadows. By the time Count Yorga, Vampire was […]
