This week on the podcast, we’re celebrating Pete’s birthday by treading into some uncharted Waters… John Waters that is as we watched the tentpole film of John Waters’ Trash Trilogy with 1972’s “Pink Flamingos”. Fam, this film’s got it all. Sex, rape, incest, human trafficking, cannibalism and that’s all within the first hour! It’s not that long of a film so it’s really the bulk of the film, but you get the idea. And boys and girls, don’t you skip that final scene, it’s a real treat! Join us as we wonder why it’s taken us to cover a John Waters film on this show, as his work is really the seed from which so many other things we love comes from! An independent filmmaker whose inspiration stems into all manner of art, film, queerness, and hey, even the likes of the Jackass fella’s look up to him. He’s your favorite artists, favorite Artist. But we’d be remiss if we spent all this time talking about Waters and not his putrescent muse, the queen of filth herself, Divine. For, without Divine, does Waters make such iconic trash cinema? What’s Van Gogh without the night sky, Springsteen without New Jersey, H.R. Geiger without the penis? Get ready for kink, kitsch, and oh yes… Kunt, on this.

This week on the pod, pack your bags, hop in the car with your closest gal pal because were headed to a secluded house for the weekend to… Study? This week we watched the 2003 French Horror film High Tension! Join us as we finally take this opportunity to dive into the genre of New French Extremity Horror; a genre with some very familiar entries if you’ve been listening to the pod for while! While we meander down these halls of French cinema we also take a stroll down Pete’s own memory lane of how impressionable this film was on him as an up and coming horror fan in the 2000’s. And while High Tension may not be the gnarliest, the most offensive or that sort of “one and done” kind of film, it serves as an interesting turning point in the genre; one where French films influence American Films that then again influence French films. It’s all one big international conversation and the text reads blood, guts and chainsaws! Plus, we talk about the major continuity flaws of this film and it’s (Spoiler!!) twist, Aaron and Pete soft launch their new YouTube channel ideas, and finally, we tackle the real issues at hand, the ones dividing people across borders: Male Circumcision! Dicks aren’t the only thing getting cut on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”

Follow us, through space and time as we journey our way out of the black lodge, through the void and make our return… to the town of Twin Peaks. This week on the pod we’re continuing our Twin Peaks coverage as we jump 25 years into the future and watch Twin Peaks - The Return, Episode 8. Where Fire Walk With Me tackles David Lynch in one of his more darker shades covering personal traumas and spilling a bit if the mystery, our episode today finds us in quite the opposite end of the Lynchian spectrum. In the Return, we find ourselves at the hand of a creator who’s making no compromises and holding nothing back. He doesn’t care if you’re following him, but your’e along for the ride whether you like it or not. And “Part 8” of the limited series serves as a sort of nexus of that journey. It’s part origin story of the show, part abstract art, part horror film, but all Lynch in his most unbridled iteration yet. Describing it does no justice, so honestly, go watch this one yourself. Oh, and before we forget.. Got a light?

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?
