The Brass Unicorn

Like Kane in Kung Fu we wade through the deluge of the 10 backlogged films that we watched since last time, joined by our faithful companion Jake, we verbally tackle this behemoth with rampant hubris.

Ruggero Deodato strikes again with 'Dial Help' his calls-to-the-wall romcom (the 'com' stands for complete nonsense) and our friendly neighbourhood Schwarzenegger camel punches his way through Crom's Country in the classic fantasy romp 'Conan the Barbarian'.

This is part two of our mega recap. We explore the depths of Nicholas Cage's bag of tricks in 'Vampire's Kiss'. Nicholas Cage, ho! We also discuss it up some (films of course).

This our recap of the films we watched over christmas. We talk about films like Multiplicity, Single Santa Seeking Mrs. Clause, Queen of Outer Space and more.

Merry Exploitationmas! This edition we shatter the brass format by not watching a film and instead replacing it with a game or two. We also dust off our Bowie for a brief chat in the attic. So strap on your blood red santa suit and ghostly white beard to deliver our rambling tones to your expectant ears in space blazing stereo!

We embark once again on our parallel quests to complete both the Steven Seagal and Apes boxsets. Keep a keen eye on any simian brother that crosses your path as 'Conquest of the Planet of the Apes' taught us: an intelligent ape can telepathically embue its fellow kind with the motivation to commit minor misdemeanours which in turn lead to the inevitable ape revolution.

Simon's off in some country somewhere so this week it's just Mario and Tom. However in true exploitation fashion we have cobbled together a robot-clone Simon in the form of a terrible sound board. So join us on a journey to tropical lands with Lucio Fulci's 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' and 'Mountain of the Cannibal God'.

Special guests Hannah and Jake join us for our 'Don't F**k With Nature' contemporary exploitation double bill where we watched Sharktopus followed by Birdemic and learned that if we quit playing cowboy with nature and were more like astronauts looking after spaceship earth we could stop SARS.

Lucio Fulci's 'City of the Living Dead' is the main film of the week. Beyond that we recap our Halloween party and the rare instance of leaving the house on a week night to see Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard.

We scrutinise Shatner's allegedly flawless theory of the creation of civilisation and we ask that all important question, 'if you were in Deliverance would you bury or squeal?'
