Dissect the Direct

Leather, labyrinths, and a face that haunted Blockbusters long before anyone even pressed play. We put this gruesome horror sequel to the knife for our 41st episode.

For our 40th episode we pick apart this seminal British horror. It was filled with piety, nudity and mystery.

We accidentally broke our 'no high art' rule for our 39th episode. Oh well. Join us for blasphemy, foul language and many other faux pas in our latest edition of Dissect the Direct. The power of Christ compels you...

For our 38th episode we pick apart the film that launched Jean-Claude Van Damme’s career, inspired Mortal Kombat, and immortalised one of Hollywood’s most dubious “true stories” — the legend of Frank Dux.

On the slab for our 37th episode we put the film that made 'the muscles from Brussels'; Jean-Claude Van Damme, a household name. Assuming that your household contained a spotty teenage boy at the time anyway.

Decapitations, immortals and terrible Scottish accents. Geoff joins me in the movie morgue for our 36th episode.

A gyro-copter, a boomerang and a scarcity of fuel. George Miller's dystopian classic goes under the knife for our 35th episode.

Road rage and revenge in an almost post-apocalyptic world. We take a scalpel to the film that started a 45 year long franchise and shaped our culture's view of what the end of the world would look like.

Pleasure and pain. Angels and daemons. We put Clive Barker's phenomenally successful supernatural horror on the slab for our 33rd episode.

We complete the Nicolas Cage trilogy with this gloriously silly popcorn action flick for our 32nd episode.
