Will (Exploding Helicopter) is back for another double bill. This time taking in two classic B-Movies starting with the inspiration for John Carpenter's "The Thing" let alone his favourite movie of all time "The Thing From Another World". We also look at the giant bug first "Them" as giant ants threaten to take over the New Mexico desert and possibly the world!  All that plus we talk world domination, classic stunt work and feisty ladies and more!!

 Kicking off the new year with author (Wake Up, Maggie)and one half of the Feminine Critique podcast Christine Makepeace making her debut on the show.   First off we have the Soska Sisters neo-grindhouse debut "Dead Hooker In A Trunk" which sees four friends life thrown into chaos and confusion upon discovering the titular dead hooker.   In the second half of the show we look at Brian De Palma's flamboyant rock opera were several classic horror stories including "Phantom of the Opera" and "Faust" are given a unique Rocky Horror style twist.   All this plus we discuss the state of genre cinema, Mumblegore and the appeal (or lack off) of teen dance movies and more!!  *Apologies to the Twisted Twins whose surname I also mispronounce.

Also discussed is Sam Raimi infamous and controversial debut, in which a group of friends accidently unleash an ancient evil with memorably gory results. A film which not only created a Launchpad for his directing career, but also for b-movie legend Bruce Campbell as well, while we also look at its long lasting legacy.     

All this plus Saturday morning cartoons, questionable cash in's, the video nasties scandal and much more!!  ** Sorry about the sound issues at the start, which I hope won't affect people enjoyment too much **
