21. Touch of Death (1988)

Dave shows Guy TOUCH OF DEATH from 1988. This might be the most disgusting, misogynistic, and hilarious movie ever made by Lucio Fulci. From the ass-end of his career, this bonkers black comedy stars Brett Halsey, star of RETURN OF THE FLY and many, many, many Italian genre films. Halsey chainsaws and smirks his way through the film, leaving Dave and Guy utterly gobsmacked by his comedic chops. What a phenomenal nightmare of a film!

20. Hellroller (1992)

Guy shows Dave the absolutely baffling 1992 shot-on-video stupidity that is HELLROLLER. This film is so haphazard and cheap, yet it features some shockingly big names. Guy unravels the reason why this bizarre oddity has a whole lot of scream queens in its cast and discusses the hysterically catty tale behind its making. (Note: We both had extreme hayfever when this was recorded, so apologies for the vocal fry.)

Mini-Episode: Mike Diana Came to Japan!

Whoa! This is not a regular episode! Mike Diana, comic artist and director of BLOOD BROTHERS (the film we covered back in episode 16) came to Japan! Dave went along to his screening of BLOOD BROTHERS and post-show Q&A in Kyoto and shares some bonus tidbits about the film and Diana's future plans!

19. Suburb Murder (1992)

Dave shows Guy SUBURB MURDER, a CAT III trip to hell from 1992! This mean-spirited film is the classic blend of harrowing violence and mind-numbing stupid that you would expect from the genre. However, the real life inspiration behind its story is absolutely shocking, turning this into one of the most exploitative films in Hong Kong cinema history. We dig deep into its distressing origin story. Enjoy?

18. Metal Days (1986)

Guy shows Dave METAL DAYS, an early work from 1986 by the legendary Shozin Fukui (964 PINOCCHIO, RUBBER'S LOVER). We dive deep into its production, Guy's personal connection with Fukui, and why the film is yet to be released (and its possible future). Thanks to the piles of Japanese materials Guy sifted through and direct discussion with Fukui, this is probably the most in-depth breakdown of METAL DAYS you're going to find online!

17. The Murder Secret (1988)

Dave shows Guy THE MURDER SECRET from 1988. Spoiler warning: Guy does not have a good time. THE MURDER SECRET is a made-for-TV (but not actually shown-on-TV) horror film from Italy with some jaw-dropping not-safe-for-TV gore and a very strange production history. While Lucio Fulci did not direct the film, we can safely say if you're a big fan of his work, you've likely seen scenes from THE MURDER SECRET. Find out why in this extra silly episode!

16. Blood Brothers (1989)

Guy shows Dave BLOOD BROTHERS from 1989, directed by Mike Diana. Diana is the best known as the first person to receive a criminal conviction in the United States for "artistic obscenity". This ridiculous conviction was targeted at his underground comic books. But before his trouble with the law, Diana utilised that same "artistic obscenity" in zero budget movies starring his family members! Strap on in! This is a wild one!

15. A Haunted Turkish Bathhouse (1975)

Dave shows Guy A HAUNTED TURKISH BATHHOUSE from 1975, a jaw-dropping mash-up of pinky violence and ghost cat horror. Toei Company puts together a great team for this. They stole Naomi Tani from Nikkatsu and threw the brilliant Kazuhiko Yamaguchi in the director's chair to give us a colourful, blood-soaked revenge trip. Featuring a vengeful cat monster that looks like the lead singer of a glam rock band!

14. Red Spell Spells Red (1983)

Guy shows Dave RED SPELL SPELLS RED from 1983. Imagine if CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and EVIL DEAD had a baby, which then got stung by hundreds of scorpions and went into anaphylactic shock. The result would be RED SPELL SPELLS RED—a sickening journey into the chaotic world of Hong Kong black magic cinema!

13. The Bucks Party (1978) with Steve Jodrell

Dave shows Guy THE BUCKS PARTY from 1978. THE BUCKS PARTY is a criminally underseen Australian film that follows the increasingly disturbing antics of a beer-soaked bachelor party. It is a tense Wake-In-Fright-like trip to macho hell. We are lucky enough to have a special guest this episode, as Steve Jodrell, director of THE BUCKS PARTY (and many more great films and TV shows), comes on board to discuss his work!
