Filmed Obscura

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.

It's Season 7 time friends!  Welcome back and thank you!  The boys are picking obscure films that the other hasn't seen for the next ten episodes and they are super excited.  Chris is kicking off this season with a solid Giallo film that borders on sleaze and intrigue.  It's fun, exploitative (in a good way if that's possible), and mysterious.  Solid banger to start off the season!  What film say you?  Why its the newer Vinegar Syndrome release of 5 Women for the Killer.  The picture will be posted in the socials so seek it out...along with the beverages we're spotlighting (also in the monthly photo for this season).  Cheers!

Happy belated New Year Filmed Obscura friends, listeners and family!  Justin and Chris are back with the final episode of Season 6 and it's a fun one.  The season finale was Chris' opportunity to pick the last film and he didn't disappoint.  Grab your headphones and get ready...because Skinned Deep is coming at you.  Plates, Brain and the Surgeon General are ready for your earholes.  Oh boy!  Grab the beverages and get after it.   Thanks for continuing this journey with us here at Filmed Obscura!!!

***We're still on social media under Filmed Obscura at "X" or Twitter or whatever it's called now.

Happy holidays to all from Filmed Obscura.  To celebrate this merry time of year, Chris and Justin watched a doozy of a film.  It was Justin's final choice for the season.  Was it a Christmas movie? Of course not!  Was it terrible?  You better believe it!  Was it fun?  Ten four partner!  What film is this?  Why it's Champagne and Bullets.  You haven't heard of it?  Well that's about to change.  So go ahead and start your holiday season off with a banger of a film.  Grab that sparkling beverage friends and enjoy.  You will...it's not a problem.

Happy New Yea...wait! What?  It's almost Thanksgiving.  So why are the boys doing a New Years movie?  Because...why not!  Welcome to Episode 46 of Filmed Obscura.  Justin and Chris continue the season of schlock, fun cinema with a Norman J. Warren special: the obscure Bloody New Year.  Much like a Bloody Mary drink, it's many ingredients (movies) thrown into a glass and stirred into craziness.  And that's not necessary a bad thing.  You can grab the physical media at Vinegar Syndrome so hurry up.  Why you're at it, grab a Bloody Mary, or alternate drink of choice, and enjoy this fine slice of British horror.  You might be disappointed...but maybe not.  Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving all!
