Hohoho Filmed Obscura fans!  Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and cheers to all.  The boys are here with their special holiday episode for your listening pleasure.  They brought back an MVP to the podcast as well as a new face to ring in the holiday season, and they are discussing Jesus.  The torture of Jesus to be exact.  That's right friends, the spotlight this year is Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.  What better way to celebrate Jesus' birthday than with his passion.  Grab those drinks because you might need them.  There's a lot of torture in this one.  Enjoy!!!

Happy December friends.  The boys are back for another helping of awesome, somewhat obscure, movie fun.  It was Justin's pick this month and he went with one of his FAVORITE films.  His spirit animal...as he puts it.  That film is Moorehead & Benson's Spring.  Their wonderful follow-up to Resolution, and just a marvelous slice of indie cinema.  It has love, monsters, meandering, conversations and Italian scenery for all to enjoy.  So tune in with a nice glass of wine (or whichever beverage you choose) and enjoy!  Happy Holidays all!

Hey everybody!  As an added bonus, the boys put together a little Twin Peaks spotlight episode to discuss the wonders and craziness of Mark Frost and David Lynch's Showtime revival of Twin Peaks.  Justin binged the hell out of it recently, and he just had to get his thoughts and questions out to Chris for analysis and perspective.  We hope you enjoy it and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Happy Almost Thanksgiving friends!  The boys are back after a little delay.  Apologies are warranted because Justin and Chris had some scheduling issues that prevented them from recording and releasing the new episode in October.  To make amends, they have the new one ready just in time for turkey day, and also have a little bonus Spotlight episode coming this month as well.  For this gem, Chris brought a BANGER to the podcast.  It's a "movie" for sure...and it's full of martial arts, zombie ninjas, psycho monks, pretty things, and Cameron Mitchell.  That's right, Blood and Black Lace's own Cameron Mitchell.  What movie you ask?  Why it's Raw Force.  You might want a little buzz for this one because it's awesome.  Cheers!

Welcome back for the first episode of the fall season (technically).  While there is no pumpkin spice to celebrate the episode, Justin brought a certified banger to the Filmed Obscura world.  It's a film that he knew Chris would vibe on, and it's frankly one of the better religious cult movies in recent years.  What movie you say? Why that is Riley Stearns' Faults.  You guys don't want to miss this one.  Grab those pumpkin spice brews and apple cider donuts friends.  You won't be disappointed.  

Welcome back friends to Episode 54!  The boys have had their appetizer for what's to come next season...and it was a doozy.  Chris' pick this month brought the Filmed Obscura crew, and special guest Mr. Przebowski, back to the mysterious, disturbing, unusual, poorly lit and unnecessary world of Marian Dora.  Yes, you guessed it.  They watched the film he made before Melancholie Der Engel: Cannibal.  It's a true crime slice of life with lots of nudity, uncomfortable eroticism, disgusting dismemberments, feces, and cannibalism.  Spoiler Alert:  Justin liked it better than Melancholie--point for Dora.  You will need your beverages for this one.  

Welcome back for another slice of fun here at Filmed Obscura.  Happy summer to all.  The boys are back for another episode of randomness.  This month, they had to audible because the special guest couldn't make the episode.  In response, Justin stepped up for his next pick and brought some pure cinema gold.  Don't fret, we will be doing Chris' pick next month guaranteed...with or without Mr. P.  But for now, feast your ears on a movie experience that has serial killers, gatekeepers, the afterlife, The Book of Death, martial arts, sword fighting, sunglasses, leather jackets and pants, and PURE style.  It's Justin's Star Wars...his words.  So grab those beverages and enjoy Ryuhei Kitamura's Sky High (not the television show from Japan or the Kurt Russell, superhero high school vehicle).  Go then!

Welcome back to Filmed Obscura friends.  Happy summer to all.  Chris and Justin have another doozy of a film to talk about this month.  It was Justin's pick this time, so he went with a more obscure John Carpenter joint...Assault on Precinct 13.  It's one of Justin's personal favorites and, as you will hear, Chris rather enjoyed it.  You will too so check it out.  Cheers and enjoy!

Thank you for returning to the wonderful audio world of Filmed Obscura.  Happy May and almost Memorial Day!!  This month, Chris and Justin revert back to the trials and hardships of a previous season where they watched difficult cinema.  Chris channeled that passion with his pick, but he also made the selection based on its link with our prior episode The Theatre Bizarre.  Director Douglas Buck had a solid short in The Theatre Bizarre so Chris thought, why not do his other anthology?  And...so the boys got to experience Family Portraits.  It's a treat.  Please enjoy and don't forget your local beverages.  

You can follow Filmed Obscura, or the boys, on social media.  Chris is on IG and Justin is on IG and X (Twitter--whatever).  Find them!

The Filmed Obscura boys are back with the second film of the new season.  Justin picked this one for Chris and as you will hear, it worked out well.  That film is The Theatre Bizarre.  It's a scrappy anthology with varying segments.  Some great, some not so much, but overall, the film is fun and surprising at points.  Justin even had a change of heart about a couple of segments after this viewing.  So go grab those refreshments friends...it's time to enter the Grand Guignol theatre for some fun.
