About Top Notch Nonsense Genre Film Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Top Notch Nonsense. A Genre Film Review Podcast.
Top Notch Nonsense is a genre film podcast hosted by married couple Michael and Maranda — dedicated to the strange, the screwed-up, the obscure, and the gloriously unhinged corners of cinema history.
Every episode, we pair two films connected by a shared theme, narrative, or filmmaker — then proceed to analyze, moralize, judge, and lovingly shit-talk them in equal measure. We've covered John Waters, Giallo, erotic thrillers, holiday horror, exploitation cinema, B-movies, and a lot of things that probably shouldn't exist but do.
Smart but never pretentious. Hilarious but never shallow. We love what we mock — and we mock what we love. New episodes every Sunday Night/Monday Morning. Come watch the weird stuff with us.
