This month, We’re running a two for one special down the Double R Diner… or is it Hap’s? We’re talking about seedy bars, cryptic log-based messages and dead homecoming queens as we’re saddling up in the town of Twin Peaks for all of February! On our first episode, we cover David Lynch’s first foray off the leash with the 1992 Film “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me”. This one’s a near and dear property to the pod, so join us as we gush a bit over the show and yes, David Lynch himself as we marvel at what a waking nightmare this film is. Don’t worry, we’ll give you the run-up you need on the show to understand what the hell is even happening in this movie. Though if you are a fan of Twin Peaks, you may have your own qualms with the film, whether it be it’s aggressively dark tone, focus on sexual trauma, or completely ruining the mystery of the original show. But if you’re willing to look past that, what lies in these secret pages of Laura Palmer’s Diary lies somewhere between the familiar and Lynch’s most confronting film. Truly, there’s no amount of explaining this to you that’ll make a bit of sense, but why not listen and find out just what we love so much about the movie on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

This week on the pod, we’re keeping things light with all manner of monsters, wizards, facists and fetishists as we mainline the 2008 horror/comedy “Tokyo Gore Police” right into our brains. Strap it, because this film is a genuine hoot. From an over saturation of violence, to some genuine freaky kinks on display, Tokyo Gore Police is a film that doesn’t make a lick of sense and that’ just alright with us! We talk about this films love for practical effects; no surprise being the feature debut of Tokyo’s FX wizard, director Yoshihiro Nishimura, and how it frolics in its own depravity. We also can’t help but note the steadied hand by actor Eihi Shiina who brings a genuine intensity to an otherwise fever dream of a movie. This movie is insane, and you will be too! Plus, satires on fascsim, a lengthy discussion on Gooning, and two men try to solve the great debate once and for all; Is. Squirt. Pee? All this and more on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Happy New years you fucking assholes. Brace yourselves because we’re kicking off the year with some deadly serious mommy issues in 2001’s “The Piano Teacher”. Join us as we we run the gamut of conversations on the film from the origins of true degenerate behavior, conflating kink with love, and when it comes to consensual non-consent play, you really don’t need someone who goes off-script. We try to get at the heart of a true white whale in the female incel and ask ourselves the broader question of what does in-fact qualify someone “involuntarily celibate”. Find out what happens when repression meets rage on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our final episode of the year; our Vegas Revue! This week on the pod we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of the all-time cult, sleaze classics in Paul Veerhovens’ “Showgirls”. A film so equally bad and incredible, it defies conventional critique; though that didn’t stop scores of audiences upon its release from doing just that. Join us as we talk about the films abysmal initial release and the ensuing damages it left in its wake, specifically to that of star Elizabeth Berkley’s career. But honestly, we chalk it up to a generation that just wasn’t ready for the camp gold that this film is, and a major misstep on the marketing department with how they sold the film. Plus, aggressive gesturing, so much sex it’s actually a turn off, and one incredibly out of left field sexual assault that really didn’t need to be here! Prepare to be equal parts entertained and horrified, because that’s what we do best here on “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

On this weeks episode, we’re back in the trenches of war; literally. Only this time these trenches are more like a bunker full of Nazis! Yes, we’re strapped in to watch the final days of Nazi Germany as it all comes crashing down on their stupid heads in the 2004 film “Downfall”. Join us as we talk about what a messy queen that Hitler was as we breakdown one of the most nuanced performances of histories greatest monster that we’ve ever seen. While moments of this film work to test the viewers sense of empathy; evoking moments of clarity akin to members of Jonestown in the final days on the compound in Guyana, it never fails to carry the salient reminder that “Yes, they are Nazi’s and yes, they deserve this.” Also discussed, the messiness of humanizing the monster, Fascism as a fashion statement first and foremost, and how DO you say “Goebbels?” ? Come Celebrate the Holidays the only way we know how, with mass death and destruction, here on I Didn’t Need to See that!

This week on the podcast, Hell is trench warfare. We’re settling in proper to the new Dad-cast format (for now at least) as we embrace our inner history buffs while still being gluttons for punishment. We watched the 2022 WW1 Epic “All Quiet on the Western Front”. Listen as we discuss the truly inspiring origins of this adaptation and learn just how much work it is to keep an option on a script (we learned something today too!). Oh and don’t worry, we’ll give you some of the cliff notes  of the real world context as best we can in an hour podcast episode about a film. Differences between the original text and this film aside, the film looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous and gets way more graphic than an Oscar picture has any right to be. Also discussed on todays episode, the epidemic of missing editors on films in the streaming age, the battle between selfcare and sleep, and the question everyones begging to know the answer to.. Do you like to read while stoned? All this and more on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Get ready to suck in that muffin top, shed a few pounds and put on your best dress because we’re going to the ball, Cinderella! This week on the pod we watched a body horror delight from this year in “The Ugly Stepsister”. Join us as we discussed the nuanced nature of this messy lead character who only kind of deserves what she’s got coming to her. But let’s be real, in this fantastic depiction of 1800’s Norway (and in any time period really), being a woman is about survival of the fittest; or in this case, the thinnest. From the gruesome depiction of the primitive forms of body modification, to the suffocating societal norms our lead is subjected to, we watch as our leading lady goes to “great lengths” to make herself beautiful as we wince and squirm the whole way. Also discussed on today’s episode, snap decisions while stuck in traffic, parenting tips for Halloween, and do Tapeworms really love milk?

This week on the pod we’re heading down under (Kinda) for a continued discussion on Video Nasties (But, not really) as we watched a classic in both New Zealand film and splatter horror in Peter Jacksons (yes, THAT one) 1992 Horror Comedy, Dead Alive! Join us as we turn our brains off for a putrid good time. It’s a movie that you can see, smell, hear and taste from beginning to end, and you’ll surely want a second helping of this slop! Join us as we laud this as a great pick to put on at a party with your friends, if your friends like dismembered corpses that is. We speculate whether or not this is cannon with Jackson’s remake of King Kong and note more than just one allusion to inspiration from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”. Also discussed, the slapstick “Muppet-ness” of the New Zealand sense of humor, timeless practical effects, and CAN you show hog on instagram? You’ve got more blood and guts than you’ll know what to do with on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need To See That!”

I Didn’t Need To See That: Return of the Dadcast! After a month hiatus while Pete ascends to fatherhood, we’ve replenished our tanks, recharged our batteries and are ready to subject our pure, clean bodies back into the swamp. This month on the pod, we’re dusting off an old chestnut by billing a double header and finally delving into the topic of Video Nasties! What the hell is a video nasty? Exactly what it sounds like. We’re busting open this bag of guts with the movie so controversial it was banned in 46 countries, 1978’s “Faces of Death”. Join us as we ask ourselves, “where does faces of death fit into a modern world?”. Is it rendered obsolete by the onslaught of dead bodies we can see on the internet, or does it serve as a macabre predecessor of something kids of a certain generation have become all too desensitized towards. Also discussed on today’s episode; horny spam texts, how to survive in a scam economy, and the joys of fatherhood. All this and more on this week’s episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Youth is wasted on the young, especially when the youth is too wasted to remember what the hell happened. This week on the pod, we’re closing out Bummer Summer with the granddaddy of cautionary tales to the restless youth of America with Larry Clark’s 1995 film “Kids”. Join us as we revel in the horror of what it’s like to experience this film through the lens of adults and reminisce on our own teenage fuckery. We’ll cover the very messy and questionable production history of this film and how the final product feels at once a true authentic representation of teens in America, and outright exploitation of those same teens. It’s a mixed bag to say the least. Also discussed in today’s episode; Just how much sex are teens actually having, separating the nostalgia from the child pornography, and is there really any ethical way to depict teens as they truly are? Also, Kids; wear a damn condom! All this and more on this week’s episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”
