Dave shows Guy SUPER XUXA CONTRA BAIXO ASTRAL aka SUPER XUXA VERSUS THE DOWN MOOD from 1988. This Brazilian film stars the legendary Xuxa, known in her home country as the "Queen of the Little Ones". The target audience for SUPER XUXA is kids, so expect a lot of crystals and rainbows. However, also prepare yourself for an upsetting caterpillar puppet, a dolphin who is worried about his eyes being plucked out, finger-severing, Nickelodeon-esque sewerage sliming, and a damning social commentary on the environment and bureaucracy! To help us unpack all of this, we are joined by SUPER XUXA's co-director, David Sonnenschein! This is a wild one!

Guy shows Dave FATAL TERMINATION, a Hong Kong actioner from 1990! While this is perhaps not the usual thing we cover, it features a single scene that is among the wrongest moments captured on camera and left us both utterly gobsmacked. Also along for the ride: rocket launchers, back-breaking stunts, helicopter chase scenes, sauna beatings, and a bizarre connection to one of our earlier podcast episodes! This is a fun one.

Dave shows Guy HYPER VILLAIN from 2011! This is one of the most upsetting films we've covered in a while and a definite outlier in the career of fake documentary maverick Koji Shiraishi. We follow the titular Hyper Villain, a serial rapist and head-basher, as he prepares to celebrate the anniversary of his first sexual assault. While it sounds unbelievably grim (and it is), this teeters between genres, becoming very blackly funny as it wallows in disgusting obscenity. Join us for another uncomfortable watch!

Guy shows Dave NIGHTY NIGHT 真夜中の悪夢 from 1986! This Japanese anthology horror film was, until very recently, extremely difficult to come by, with information about it online sparse. Guy digs deep, uncovering a lot of information about its production. He even finds the answer to a question that has been bothering everyone on Letterboxd: How exactly did that girl die after just getting a cake thrown in her face? So, join us for strange video game monsters, school girls morphing into monsters, and birthday parties gone awry!

We had Matthew C. Vaughan stick around after our HOUSEBOAT HORROR episode to record a mini-episode about CAT SICK BLUES and its release in Japan! Guy grills Dave and Matt on the behind the scenes of the film and its... uh... mixed response in the years following its release. Enjoy!

Dave shows Guy HOUSEBOAT HORROR, Australia's first (kind of) SOV horror film! And, not only that, CAT SICK BLUES star Matthew C. Vaughan joins us as a special guest! Matt and Dave lecture Guy on the meaning of Australian slang and phrases such as "gronk", "bar up", and "wakey wakey hands off snakey" in-between discussing Mark "Jacko" Jackson, Hey Hey It's Saturday, and this absolute mess of a slasher film.

Guy shows Dave THE FAMILY THAT EATS SOIL from 2005, a film that is most certainly NOT directed Khavn. This is our first trip to the Philippines, and it left our mouths well and truly agape. Little people in diapers, cock fights, children turning into plants, horrific claymation, and, of course, soil-munching—this is a nightmarish deconstruction of a Filipino family that baffled us as much as it entertained us!

Dave shows Guy THE OILY MANIAC. This is our first Shaw Brothers film, and it is a greasy, slippery 70s nightmare set to the tune of the JAWS theme song! Come with us as we unpack the origin story of the Oily Maniac, or Orang Minyak, which takes us to Malaysia and Singapore before we dive into the mad Hong Kong retelling of this weird legend. Lots of strangling, head-crushing, and bicycle-beating ensues! Cue Oily Maniac scream!

Guy shows Dave TAMPON TANGO, one of the most downright strange things we've ever covered. TAMPON TANGO is an experimental porn film from Japan that features meteors dropping from the sky, firecracker tampons, giant peaches, a man playing a guitar with the... uh... wrong body part, a brain-boggling orgy, and relentless close-ups of buttholes. Come join us as we endure a combo of chaos and excruciatingly long dull sex scenes.
