Legend has it that David Cronenberg for the idea for the torture TV channel that lends its name to his opus Videodrome from this Joe D’Amato film, which is also known as Trap Them and Kill Them. Think of this — a film that upset Cronenberg for its mash-up of snuff, cannibalism and sex. Take it from me. This one totally lives up to its promise. Or lives down. You almost have to appreciate it for how lurid it is, as if it just screams at you, “I am the kind of movie you should feel ashamed for watching.”

You can buy this as part of Severin's Black Emanuelle box set.

If you haven't picked it up from the movies I talk about on this site, I'm a big fan of Severin Films. I was so excited for this opportunity to speak with David Gregory, who is the man behind the label. In this interview, you'll learn about their new Russ Meyer releases, what it took to make that happen and how movies are selected for Severin, as well as an exploration of the films of Bruno Mattei and Joe D'Amato, the video nasties era from a true expert and even a possible sneak preview of a few upcoming releases.

Thanks to Danielle Garnier, Michael Krause and David Gregory for making this interview happen. You can buy all of Severin's movies on their website, including the new Russ Meyer releases, Vixen, Supervixens and Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens. There's constantly something new and wonderful from this company and I'm so honored that I had some time to speak with Mr. Gregory.

Deeds not words! Megaforce has come from the 1980s to fix what's wrong. They're going to do it by blowing up their own vehicles and wearing skintight suits and yeah, maybe, they're going to be sexist. But they're going to do it.

I can't tell you how excited I was when my mailbox contained three 4K blu rays from Severin, filled with Vixen, Supervixens and Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens. Actually, I can tell you. Here's an entire podcast all about it.

Let's finish off 2024 with one of my most hated movies ever, based on the comic strip I hate more than Mark Trail and Mary Worth. It's Dondi, a film that will kill you dead.

After Superman, what else can you make? How about a movie about Santa? And what if he died really early in it? And what if Dudley Moore was an elf and made Christmas 2?

Then you'd have Santa Claus the Movie. You can watch it on Tubi.
