I'm joined by Astrid Budgor to talk about three genre films from the early 80s that thrum with deep-seated disgust and fear of sex. This kind of thing often goes unaddressed in genre fiction criticism, aside from a "woah, weird!", so I'm delighted we had this discussion. The three films are Scream For Help, Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker and Incubus Sponsor: peoplewatching.ca Email: [email protected] Subscribe on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-units/id1241776225?mt=2

We never talk about it - it's taboo. " - A dark Stranger, Julien Gracq
