Straw Dogs (1971) and Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)

Jim and Patrick cover a couple of controversial classics from legendary filmmakers Sam Peckinpah and Lucio Fulci. Rural settings, mysterious outsiders, and the best dummy in film history are featured. 

Wild Things (1998) and Candyman (1992)

Patrick is joined by Jared to discuss the erotic thriller Wild Things and the classic '90s slasher Candyman. Finally Tony Todd has a starring role in this podcast, and not just one of his slapped together cameos. 

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972) and Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971)

Two absurdly long titles make for some very entertaining films, as Jim and Patrick watch and discuss the Samurai/ronin/ninja classic Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance, and the Ennio Morricone-scored giallo with an all-star cast (including two and a half Bond girls!!!): Black Belly of the Tarantula. 

The Raid (2011) and Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978)

Warring martial arts schools, cops vs. gangsters, and the inimitable Jackie Chan. What's not to love in this episode on two Asian action classics - one from Indonesia (though for some reason we say Thailand the entire time), and one from Hong Kong?

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) and Hong Kong Godfather (1985)

Kevin is back, and we get to talk Hitchcock, and Hong Kong movies featuring dummy kids being thrown through windows!

Good Guys Wear Black (1978) and Spiral/Rasen (1998)

Join Jim and Patrick as they delve into the history and origin of Chuck Norris facts, as well as the odd release history of Ringu's first sequel. It's Good Guys Wear Black and Rasen!
