This episode we dive into the Bill Zebub’s low-budget psychological shock thriller Breaking Her Will. David struggles through his recap of the film we had finished moments earlier, and Pappy defends his character from “Who would you be?”. Danny continuously tries to force the conversation towards the films soundtrack and set.

n our first interview, we sit down with Mike Diana to discuss his recent documentary – Boiled Angels: The Trial of Mike Diana – and his unique story of art, the law and freedom of speech. Mike’s documentary is absolutely fascinating. There are a few screenings coming up. Please follow the link to find one near you.

Last week, we all took home an empathy quotient designed by Simon Baron-Cohen (affectionately known as Borat’s cousin). Listen in as we discover who is the least empathetic member of the podcast!

Time gets away from us as we dive into part three of Murder Set Pieces. This episode, Pappy leads a discussion on Empathy, we subject the killer in MSP to various psychopath tests and we all get a little homework – filling out individual empathy tests to see who's the least empathetic of the group. We promise this is the last episode on Murder Set Pieces.

Danny deals with pent up anxiety that’s built up since last episode. He almost goes Full Henry when explaining his reactions from part one. Pappy and David play everything from Devil’s Advocate and therapist to listening ears as Danny’s works out his guilt on the air. And we all get ready for a talk about empathy.

David and Pappy try to turn up the heat on Danny, but they're all left somewhat speechless after watching Nick Palumbo's Murder-Set-Pieces (2004) – for reasons they didn't quite expect. They introduce a 3-minute drill plot summary in an attempt to make sense of Palumbo's messy collage of extreme images.

The guys talk discuss how Martyrs was received in France, and begin to learn about European authoritarian censorship boards. Pappy drives a conversation about PTSD and how it’s represented in this film.

Danny is confronted with a film he’s been avoiding for years, but to Pappy and David’s dismay, he’s unaffected. Pappy reveals his cold and calculating nature, and the boys discuss just how far we would go for our friends in a rough situation.

After some research and deeper thought (and reading other people’s reviews), the guys realize that they have been mindbucked™. Pappy provides some thought provoking learning material on Laura Mulvey’s Male Gaze and challenges Danny and David to think about Cutting Moments in a new way.

David and Pappy throw Danny into the deep end with one of the most notorious titles in horror movies and extreme cinema. The guys discover and navigate some implicit themes and are forced to admit that Cutting Moments was an excellent movie, despite their Hot Takes.
