Death By Video

We finally watched Blood Feast II!!! Are we happy about it? Not really, but listen in as we dive into this decades later sequel to the original Blood Feast! There's lots and lots and lots of names that are puns! There's "whacky" office humour! There's a song by the Butthole Surfers! There's bumbling cops! Did we mention the whacky office humour? We watched it all and lived to talk about it!

We're back with one of the strangest love stories ever committed to film! It's the age old tale of a man who meets a woman, who then meets her giant ape companion! There's vine swinging! The cheetah twirling! There's six different kinds of monster movie mayhem! All this and more in our episode on The Mighty Peking Man!

We're back with the final instalment in Herschel Gordon Lewis and David Friedman's "Blood Trilogy." It's a beatnik run amok in this 1960s art scene freakout! Listen in as we discuss the totally in efficient way that the murderous painter uses his victims' blood on his canvas! Hear us marvel at the cringy beatnik couple that wear matching wigs and dress shirts! The art world will never see it coming!

Yeehaw! We take a trip to the deep deep south only to run into Two Thousand Maniacs!!! It's the second part in our David F. Friedman/Herschell Gordon Lewis series! It's also the second part in their notorious "Blood Trilogy!" There's barrel rolling, there's horse racing, there's rock falling, and a whole lot of blood and guts in this southern fried freak out!

Listen in as we dive into the first "gore" film in history. It's Herschell Gordon Lewis' BLOOD FEAST!!! We explore the exploitation film environment that birthed this movie that shocked audiences coast to coast! There's Egyptian lectures, inept cops, haphazardly composed scenes, and a big helping of gore and viscera! This is the first part in our four part look at the partnership between director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman!

We're back with what is probably the most controversial film we've ever covered! Or is it? We innocently dive into Dasha Nekrasova's The Scary of Sixty-First! It's a tale of madness, murder, and Manhattan! Listen in as Phil & Kit try to explain what the "dirtbag left" is to Graham and what it has to do with this whacky movie!

Happy New Year! Listen in as your humble hosts take stock on the year that was and the films they watched! We discuss Censor, Dune, Titane, The French Dispatch, The Forever Purge, Power of the Dog, and a whole lot more!

It's the Christmas season and we dive into the overlooked Christmas horror film: To All A Goodnight! Directed by notorious actor David Hess (Last House on the Left, Hitch-Hike, House at the Edge of the Park)! It tells a tale that suspiciously sounds a lot like another Christmas horror film: several university students are left alone at their sorority house over Christmas and a mysterious killer arrives to cause mayhem! All this and more in Death By Episode One Hundred and One!

We made it to 100 episodes!!!!! To celebrate we watched an all time classic: Repo Man! It's the punk rock, muscle car, sci-fi, cult classic that put Los Angeles on the map! Directed by DBV all time favourite Alex Cox (even though this is the first film of his we've covered). Listen in as Phil & Graham wax poetic about their genuine admiration for this film, as Kit slowly joins the cult of Repo Man! Plate of shrimp.

We're back with the rattastic Canadian rat movie: Of Unknown Origin!!! It's Peter Weller (Robocop himself!) versus a giant rat that has invaded his family home in the French Canadian section of New York City! There's an all star cast of Canadian supporting actors! Listen in as our hosts describe in great detail their distaste for rats and their jubilation at watching Robocop eliminate a whole family of said rats!
