Death By Video

We take a look back at our favourite films from 2022 as well as our favourite first time watches of the previous year. Pretty straight forward. But we find a way to get off track. Enjoy!

We're back with what just might be our most rambling, and at the same time tightest, episode! We dive into the 1990s time capsule The Brady Bunch Movie! It was a time when television shows from 30+ years in the past were turned into big budget feature films! We discuss the original show; watching reruns of shows made from the 1960s; baby boomer and gen-x culture clashes (which we had to sit quietly through as millennials); and the general ubiquity that the Brady Bunch had on the send half of the 20th century!

It's the spooky season and your sort-of-favourite podcast is back with a terrifically, terrifying, triple feature. First up we dive into the world of heavy machinery possessed by intergalactic stuff that makes it run amok! Then we take a hard turn into 1990s cheese with the weird and whacky: Teenage Exorcist! Finally, we throw down with an all time 1980s classic: Friday the 13th Part VI: JASON LIVES! It's all kinds of spooky goodness in the latest episode of Death By Video!!!!!

DBV115: The People's Joker! by Death By Video

We're back with an episode on Drive! No, not that movie; it's Drive from 1997! Starring Mark Decascos, Kadeem Hardison and Brittany Murphy! It's a martial arts extravaganza as the movie's heroes Toby & Malik fight their way from San Francisco to Los Angeles! Listen in as our hosts dive into the action insanity of this film! There's high kicking! There's fast punching! There's chainsaw shenanigans! And so much more!

We're back with a Jean-Claude Van Damme late 1990s classic! From director Tsui Hark it's Knock Off! It tells the tale of a couple clothing bootleggers just trying to make their way in Hong Kong, only to get caught up in an international nano-bomb smuggling scheme. Good thing one of them is a secret agent! And it isn't Jean-Claude Van Damme!

All this and more in the latest episode of Death By Video!

We're back with the first part of our Canadiana series! We dive into the only authentic Canadian Giallo; appropriately named American Nightmare! It's the skeeziest Toronto has ever looked on film. There's murder! There's sex! There's grungy 1980s' Toronto! There's Michael Ironside!

We're back with the 1960s rags to riches to rags to riches rock-and-roll extravaganza: WILD GUITAR! There's guitar slinging, record company swindling, hoodwinking, ice dancing, and a whole lot of rocking! Listen in as our hosts point out how the main character's naiveté borders on just being straight up dumb! Plus we discuss all the cast's inability to pronounce the word "café." All this and more in this episode of Death By Video!

We're back!!! And so is David Cronenberg with his body horror freakout: CRIMES OF THE FUTURE!!! Listen in as our hosts report live from Downtown Toronto; the home of David Cronenberg (or as we in Canada call him "Uncle Dave")! There's open heart operations for fun and influence! There's micro plastics! There's all kinds of gooey gross mayhem in this episode of Death By Video!
