2023 was maybe our most surprising year yet! Little did we know we would discover a specific theme and boy do we have a lot to say about it. Joe and Graham sit down to chat their favorite new releases for the year, favorite first time watches, and get a little unfocused. Which was actually perfect because it let topics such as physical media, theater viewings and a while lot more bubble to the surface. 

We get a welcomed visit from Jason Stein, member of Dads from the Crypt podcast, and he takes us beyond the pale by recommending a literal hell of a first watch for two of us: Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Join us as we discuss this controversially graphic, offensively vulgar, and undeniably beautiful and well-crafted film.

We're back with another episode of Short Ends! This time Joe & Graham discuss Sam Fox's gross out short film Fck'n Nuts which takes the terrifying concept of meeting the parents and brings it to wonderfully silly levels.

Graham and Joe had the pleasure to sit down with Bomani J. Story, the writer and director of 2023's The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster to discuss his first feature, the film festival gauntlet, the importance of identity, and adapting a literary classic. 

Friend of the show, Natalie returns to join Graham to do something shocking. Get Joe to watch a new movie released in 2023. This episode we are talking 2023's The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, a contemporary spin on Mary Shelley's classic tale of science and control. 

Pour yourself a cocktail and travel down the Lucinda River with Joe , Graham, and new guest to the show, Rachel from the Zombie Grrlz Podcast Network as they discuss 1968's The Swimmer. The gang talks pool parties, deconstructing traditional masculinity, and surrealism in film. Cheers to the first time!

Saddle up and hit the trail with us for a brand new episode where we discuss Sam Peckinpah's ultraviolent western The Wild Bunch. Graham is our episode's first timer and we go into depth on the subversive, bloody drama while touching on the idea of "Dad films", the importance of animal safety, and the awesomeness of Warren Oates. 

Joe and Graham sit down to discuss 2014's The Guest, a genre bending mix of action, horror, and comedy. Really it was just a great excuse for Graham to see it for the first time and for the guys to talk about Lance Reddick, a character actor for the ages.

Jody swings by Short Ends to talk about the microbudget horror anthology Spookie Dookie, a film full of gross out horror and wonderful commericials.

Joe and Graham sit down to watch the 80's slasher Alone in the Dark, a movie with a wonderful cast and fortunately for all of us, not that piece of garbage from Uwe Boll.
