For our 125th episode we are revisiting The Subspecies Franchise.  With work going ahead on the upcoming Subspecies V we thought it best to focus another show on this 90s Full moon Vampire Chronicle.  Shot back to back with Part 2, Bloodlust is a well crafted counterpart to its predecessor.  With authentic sets and an entertaining balance of humour and malice Bloodlust is certain to sate all vampire fans.  Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Ted Nicolaou's Full Moon gem.

On this show we cover a Lou Diamond Phillips action/horror from 1990.  This film borrows heavily from late 80s resurrected killer movies like Shocker and The Horror Show.  Jeff Kober has a menacingly good time playing Satanic killer Patrick Channing.  The stunts in this movie are way better than a film of this calibre deserves.  This is presented as one of Cash's guilty pleasures.  join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Robert Resnikoff's The First Power.
