Worst Date Movies Ever

Myroslava Hartmond is back on the podcast to talk with me about the film she makes all her dates watch: Head-On (Gegen die Wand) by Fatih Akin. Expect an in-depth discussion of Fatih Akin's career, impromptu singing, Nicolas Cage impressions, a total burial of City of Angels and much more. It's hitting another bar on your internal xylophone.

**WARNING** - this episode of Worst Date Movies Ever is a review of Lucifer Valentine's infamous Vomit Gore trilogy: Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, ReGOREgitated Sacrifice, and Slow Torture Puke Chamber. In case it wasn't obvious enough, these films contain very adult themes, extreme gore and (of course) many instances of people vomiting. I strongly advise anyone likely to be upset by the content of this show not to listen.

With that out the way, I welcome you to series 2 of Worst Date Movies Ever! Enjoy!

In the last of the current series, I'm joined once again by Tom Dennett-Cook to talk about, not one, but two films. The film is The Hills Have Eyes, and we compare both films: the original directed by Wes Craven and the remake directed by Alexandre Aja. Which one do we prefer? Are they both bad date movies? Find out here.

It’s nearly Valentine's Day so what better way to celebrate the big day with your significant other than by watching a really bad date movie. Such as The Piano Teacher by Michael Haneke, which I watched with Myroslava Hartmond. 

On this episode, we discuss the film along with Haneke’s overall body of work. Plus, find out what everyone should get Myroslava for Valentine's Day!

I brought Tom Cannon back on the show to talk about one of his favourite things, horror shorts. 26 horror shorts actually as we discuss The ABCs of Death. Featuring shorts by Adam Wingard, Ti West, Ben Wheatley and many more. Some we liked more than others.

I have not one but two guests on this episode as myself, Tom Dennett-Cook and Scott Priestley review some obscure movie called The Evil Dead. It's one of the best horror movies of the 80s, the most famous video nasty and it launched the careers of both Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. But, more importantly, is it a good date movie or a bad date movie? Featuring a guest appearance from my cat

Happy New Year! Do you know where your children are right now? If you take "torture porn", found footage and an after school special and put them in a blender, you get Megan Is Missing. I was surprised how notorious this film was online, especially the last 20 minutes, so I had to see what the fuss was all about for myself.

Experience the best gift you can get this festive season: myself and Tom Dennett-Cook “reviewing” - actually, mostly laughing at the ineptness of - The Beast in Heat. Make no mistake, this is movie is both terribly made and morally reprehensible, but it’s also hilarious. Enjoy!

Really fun show today as me and Scott Priestley talk about one of the goriest movies ever made, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Possibly the only review in history to mention both Ordet and Mac and Me.

I am joined by the managing director of the Triptych art gallery, Myroslava Hartmond, to discuss The Asthenic Syndrome directed by the late Kira Muratova. Muratova is one of the great overlooked directors in the history of cinema so hopefully this will increase awareness of her work.
