Death By Video

It's the last group podcast from this years Toronto International Film Festival!!!! Phil & Graham check out Olivier Assayas' newest film WASP NETWORK. It's a tale of espionage and counter-espionage as done by civilians for and against Cuba in Miami in the 1990s! Our hosts agree this film is really good and definitely worth a watch!

DBV63: FIRST LOVE!!! by Death By Video

Graham is (briefly) joined by special guest host Nathan Dharamshi as they watch the new film from Todd Philips: Joker. Featuring Joaquin Phoenix in a very different take on the clown prince of crime.

We're live at the Toronto International Film Festival. Kit & Graham discuss the fantastic new film Dolemite is My Name!!!! Staring Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore!!!!

Listen in as we reflect on Quentin Tarantino's most sentimental movie! It's a visual feast full of audio treats as Tarantino takes us back to the year 1969 and all the goings on of Hollywood California! Graham champions the film while Kit & Phil play the role of crotchety contrarians! There's music cues aplenty and growing anxiety in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood!!!

We're back! We discuss recent films we've seen and then dive into the amazing hellscape that is Lucio Fulci's The Beyond! We bask in the glory that is David Warbeck! We recoil in terror at the gooey-gory set pieces! We dig into the eyeball trauma that Fulci ramps up to 6000% in this film! There's zombies! There's head trauma! There's carnivorous spiders! There's satanic painters! There's ghost dogs! And so much more! Plus we're joined by two very special guests!

It's the gnarliest movie we've ever done! Our second instalment in the Lucio Fulci series has us take a trip to the charming small New England town of Dunwich aka the City of the Living Dead! These aren't zombies! These are much much worse! Listen in as Phil, Kit & Graham try to rationalize the hell which gets unleashed during this film. Graham tells the story of how teenage-Graham discovered the VHS tape of the film (then known as Gates of Hell) in an independent video store in Nova Scotia! Phil gives massive props to Fabio Frizzi's dynamite score! And Kit grooves on the eerie atmosphere! There's brain drilling! Priest hanging! Corse stealing! And intestine puking!

It's our first episode in our Lucio Fulci retrospective! We dig into his notorious 1979 gut muncher: Zombie (aka Zombi 2, aka Zombie Flesh Eaters)! We dive into the zombie craze that took over Italy in the late 1970s/early 1980s! It's a long episode but we go all the way through this landmark Italian film! There's gut munching! Scuba diving! Shark fighting! Jeep driving! Spanish conquistadoring! And all the zombie brain exploding you can fit into 90 minutes!!!

PUT YOUR WEIGHT ON IT! Yes! This is the episode you've been waiting for! We dive into the 70s Rudy Ray Moore classic DISCO GODFATHER! It's toe-tappin', hip swayin', pelvis thrustin', belly swingin', and roller skatin'!!!!! We also explore the death of disco and how it affected this film's release and issues around it's anti-drug message (despite the cast and crew being verrrrrrrry pro-drug). So slip into a leisure suit, put some disco beats on your turntable, and listen to the soothing voices of Death By Video!!!!!

We're back with a little seen comedy about a man and his slight resemblance to Bruce Lee! Featuring nunchuck action! Mechanical bull riding! Pasta making! Fish punching! Chop stick untensilizing! And so much more! Everyone on the podcast likes the same movie for once! We also discuss the feud between Nicholas Winding Refn and William Friedkin, and discuss Refn's free streaming service (byNWR.com). Hear us massacre the accents of several different nationalities on our way to uncovering the genius of THEY CALL ME BRUCE?
