Filmed Obscura

Mario Bava! Christopher Lee! S&M cinema perhaps too risqué for theaters in the 60s.  Justin's pick this month is the excellent, deeper cut in Mr. Bava's pantheon of films:  The Whip and the Body.  Chris, on the other hand, suggested a great indie slasher from Long Island's own Stevan Mena:  Malevolence.  This pick will delight any Halloween, Friday or TCM fan with its loving homage to the horror films we all grew up with.  Grab that beverage of your choosing and enjoy!

Episode 15 is here!  Justin and Chris return for the first "proper" episode of 2021 and Justin roped his wife Jana into joining the fun for the first movie.  Spoiler alert!  She didn't hate it.  Of course that movie is Nightmare Beach (or Welcome to Spring Break).  Chris gives by far his best introduction to this interesting work, and describing the film as "fun" is pretty spot on.  Next up is the indie anthology about a killer clown called All Hallow's Eve.  For those who like the violent stylings of Art the Clown will enjoy this discussion since it's the predecessor to Art's feature length gorefest Terrifier.  Perhaps not as visceral, this anthology gives the audience a glimpse into the director's style and talent, and foreshadows some grisly kills along the way.  Now just hit play.

Find us and say hi.  We won't electrocute you with a stupid motorcycle.

Happy New Year all!  Before the regular episodes resume, enjoy a fun romp of Justin, Chris and Joe watching Glenn Danzig's Verotika.  As an added bonus, Joe brought another Pop Quiz Hotshot to the podcast.  Here's a beverage corner salute to 2021.  Cheers to long mirror shots!

New episode alert! Welcome back to Episode 14 of Filmed Obscura.  Alfred Hitchcock!  An atypical anthology full of spirit and charm! More tangents!  Chris and Justin hit the next episode in full stride with a lesser known film from the Master of Suspense, and an indie three-part tale with enough heart to surpass many widespread releases.  Yep...its Frenzy and The Signal (2007).  Enjoy the discussion, observations and banter about two stellar films.  Also, since our next episode won't drop until January, happy holidays everyone!  Cheers!

Welcome to the Season 3 premiere of Filmed Obscura.  As you can see, Justin and Chris are sticking to the BBC format of this podcast.  Get ready because this is a good one.  We changed up the format a bit.  One older film and one newer film for each episode.  Classic car rules.  Our special guest contributed to the episode by picking our new movie which turned out to be quite the interesting ride.  That film is Sion Sono's Tag.  Chris followed that with a B movie, A-list acted yarn starring a stellar Ernest Borgnine and the one and only Captain Kirk, William Shatner, titled The Devil's Rain.  It's accurate...you'll see.  I'd be remise not to acknowledge our theme music from Zagi2 who has carried us through two seasons of this podcast.  Find their work on Freesound.org.  Thank you again for tuning back in for the moderately sophisticated banter of two horror geeks.  And Evan...

Season Finale alert! YES! Boy are you listeners in for a treat.  Justin and Chris bring along Filmed Obscura friend and special guest John Langdon on a vicious journey through two uber violent and intriguing films.  First up is the New French Extremity film Frontier(s) directed by Xavier Gens.  There's perceived political subtext, content that would make the Sawyer family proud, and a table saw.  Let's just leave that right there.  Next is the French Canadian thriller Seven Days.  Chris has done it again.  Directed by Daniel Grou (Podz), this film brings new meaning to sobering, somber, purposefully paced cinema.  It's impeccably shot, harsh, gory and unforgettable.  With the exception of Justin's rants and f-bombs, there are some good conversations in this one.  Grab your beer and give your ears a treat.   

Find us on social media.  We like company!  Don't leave John...

What do the Filmed Obscura boys have in store for you this time around?  Well...they have a Spanish slasher film that has been virtually lost in VHS purgatory until Arrow Releasing got a hold of it.  They also discuss a fairly obscure Giallo/Police Procedural that blends solid mystery elements, decent kills, and unexpected/really unnecessary shocks (you'll know when you hear it). So please, sit back and enjoy Edge of the Axe and My Dear Killer.  Also, Filmed Obscura's previous guest Joe Brady returns for another "Pop Quiz Hotshot" that pits Chris and Justin against each other.  The category names alone are fantastic!  Until the next one...

Find us on the social media.  We'd love to discuss VHS purgatory.

Welcome back to the tenth episode of Filmed Obscura.  SPOILER ALERT warranted here.  The second film, Kill List, should not now or ever be spoiled for people who haven't watched it so PLEASE do not continue listening if you haven't seen it...unless you don't care about the ending.  Justin and Chris combine that, ahead of its time, horror thriller with an obscure, fantastic giallo/slasher called Double Exposure.  If you are looking for a quality 80s slice of aggressive womanizing and killing models with pool items, this movie is for you.  Both films combined nicely for a pretty cool episode.  We hope you feel the same way.  

Find us on your favorite social media outlet...or just Twitter...but DON'T spoil Kill List.  Don't do it man!

Oh man!  Chris and Justin are throwing a curve ball with this episode.  Normally, the boys focus their rants and tangents on obscure horror and thriller movies but this time, they are diving into one of horror elite's offerings in the Spaghetti Western genre:  Lucio Fulci's Four of the Apocalypse.  It's violent, gritty, dirty and quite interesting.  It fits rather nicely into Fulci's eclectic mix of films.  After that, they discuss an uber obscure, arthouse slasher from the 90s that exists in a world all its own:  Star Time.  This entry is even more interesting...but for different reasons.  Tune in to find out the Filmed Obscura thoughts.  Special shout out to Josh Pryor for the substitute intro song this month:  Josey Wales.  It fit the episode so nicely.  Enjoy!
