There are a few directors like Álex de la Iglesia. No matter what kind of film he's making, he weaves in and out of different genres like changing lanes on a busy highway. But no matter what, you will usually see his twisted and dark sense of humor, unique and interesting stories, and usually something you've never seen before on film. And that could all be before the opening credits!

In this episode, we dive into three of his features, one a brutal tale of sex and violence, one a tale of greed and what people will do because of it, and finally a supernatural tale of witches that is quite different than anything coming from Disney!

800 Bullets (2002), Accion Mutante (1993), Blue Velvet (1986), Common Wealth (2000), The Cook, the Theif, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), Day of the Beast (1995), Faster Pussycat! Kill!
