Cat Cave Cinema Podcast

We have such sights to show you. That's right, Jay and Pierce get analytically kinky on this one with a deep dive into one of Jay's favorite horror films, Clive Barker's classic Hellraiser! Join us as we discuss inverted slasher tropes, the magic of 80s practical effects, and the importance of all things in moderation.

On this mini-episode, in addition to teasing our next film, we talk about some horror shows we have been enjoying, some upcoming films that have us excited, and even dip our toes ever so lightly into the horror gaming world.

Pierce and J get uncomfortable watching bad babysitter Emelie being very bad at her job. Join us for the discussion of discomfort based horror, getting out acted by a 4 year old, and how a few tweaks could have made this film the indie darling of 2015.

We're back! After another long hiatus (fingers crossed the last one but no promises) J and Pierce returned to the Cat Cave to tease out our next film, make excuses for our absence, and ponder just how long its actually been since we made an episode.

Trigger Warning: this week's episode contains a lot of discussion of sexual harassment, sexual violence, and the #metoomovement in relation to the film we watched.

This week our journey through the video nasties brought us to an awkward and unforeseen confrontation with the worst elements of hollywood and horror movie culture wrapped up in one neat little package. In the midst of the #metoomovement, we suddenly found ourselves sitting down to watch Harvey Weinstein's 1981's confession...uh, I mean, "film," The Burning. Gotta be honest, this one broke our spirits a little bit (which may explain why it took us two months to getting around to actually talking about it) and, weakened by its truly abysmal political sentiments, sent us careening into a long and pessimistic diatribe about whether we are in a watershed moment of change, or just a momentary glitch in the patriarchal matrix of horror that is America (and the world more generally). But somewhere in there I think we talked about the film as well, but its all a blur of rage, confusion, and genuine disappointment. So have fun listening to our super upbeat and fun horror podcast!

WE'RE BACK! Life has been crazy, but that's when you need horror the most. Join us for our months late year in review, our excuses for the months of hiatus, and our tease of what the next film we will be discussing from the video nasties list will be (its a real fucking rough one for this day and age).

This week our journey through the video nasties has brought us to Greece. Specifically, to Nico Mastorakis' 1976 exploitation film Island of Death. Join us as we talk about goats, proto-slasher influences, the music of Nikos Lavranos, and how not to treat your mother. Joining us on this depraved adventure will be our guest and friend of the podcast Billups.

On this mini-episode we set the stage for our latest in the ongoing video nasties series as we debate whether or not we should tell you to watch the 1975 Greek exploitation film Island Of Death. We also touch on some of the offerings at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and hear about Pierce's love for the lesser known Der Fan.

In our continued quest to experience all of the video nasties, we delve deep into Giulio Berruti's 1979 Nunsploitation film Killer Nun. Join us as we talk psychedelic murder trips, recycled film footage, blasphemy, political nihilism, and the positive representation of the sexual lives of the elderly.

On this mini-episode, we get back on track with out video nasties project and tease next weeks film, the 1979 Italian Nunsploitation oddity Killer Nun. We also briefly touch on the bonkers Shudder exclusive Kuso and try to figure out how many great prequels to terrible films exist in the world of horror (feel free to play along on our Tumblr or Facebook).
