Where the Long Tail Ends

Robert, Nat, and Cody are joined by Angela Fabbrini of the Cabin in the Woods podcast to discuss the life, literary work, and films inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft toiled away in poverty and semi-obscurity during his relatively short life, but ended

Nat, Cody, and Robert take a look this month at Richard Stanley's grimy future shock tale Hardware.

Robert, Nat, and Cody are feeling a little devilish and we bring you the fiendish pairing of QUATERMASS AND THE PIT alongside John Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS.

Cody, Robert, and Nat wrap up year three of the podcast by pondering John Boorman's 1974 film ZARDOZ. Of which, the only thing we can be truly sure of is that ZARDOZ somehow exists. We also do some catching up and preview year four. Tagged by NCH Software

Robert and Cody note that it's the 40th birthday of STAR WARS and decide to celebrate the occasion. We decided to take a look at three key influences in TRIUMPH OF THE WILL, THE HIDDEN FORTRESS, and THE DAM BUSTERS. Tagged by NCH Software

And we're back! Well, this took us a little longer to post this episode, only because James is now an international man of mystery. James went on a trip to Canada and so we had to plan around that monumental excursion. If you want to know what James was up to in Canada, you are in luck. You've got an hour of notes to open the show delivered in the kind of meticulous detail we all expect of Mr. Gilham. Trapped! It's been a while since we've had an episode where we have had two films that approach a theme so differently. First up is the underseen gothic, noir thriller, Gaslight. This movie was jam packed with star power (George Cukor, Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotton, Angela Lansbury and Dame May Whitty) , and went on to earn a host of Oscar nominations, but its not as widely known or talked about today as some of its contemporaries. Next, is the Kickstarter funded passion project from horror auteur Rob Zombie, 31. I dare you to find two films that are more different, but they both find their own way to explore the Trapped! theme.

This month, Nat, Cody, and Robert journey back to the 1970s to take in Sun Ra and his Arkestra in 1974's . SPACE IS THE PLACE is ground zero for Afrofuturism, as defined by Mark Dery in a terrific essay which you can read , and which we talk about at some length.

And we're back! What, did we just record two shows in one week? Did we just become best friends? That's right dear listeners, it is the shockingly early return of High and Low Brow. Since we needed to re-record our last episode, we decided to get the jump on this episode and record both episodes back-to-back-to-back-to ... I think I lost track there. This fun little episode is brought to you by James' guilt, as he somehow has never seen the film . So, in a shameless attempt at rectifying that, we dcided we'd go with the theme of Aliens for this episode of High & Low Brow. As you know we always have a theme for each episode, and review two movies. So our other film is the far less known . Now Killer Klowns from Outer Space has a cult pedigree but Progeny has a pedigree of its own. Written and produced by and Directed by , you have the creative team of behind the film. As if that isn't enough, yuou've also got and and  in supporting roles. That's a veritable bonanza for genre film fans. So it makes you wonder why has no one heard of this aliend abduction film? Thankfully, you have High & Low Brow to do the dirty work for you. Thankfully, we enjoy this kind of "work".
