Episode 139 - Christmas in the Cave

Ho Ho No!!! It's that time of year again, so we have strung tinsel and lights all over the cave. Listen in as we raise a glass of nog and crunch roasted chestnuts as we discuss two twisted tales about that little old elf known as Santa Claus.  We start off with 1984's "Don't Open Till Christmas", from the team that brought us the movie Pieces, this yule log barely floats, but does feature a surprisingly high kill-count and a decidedly family-unfriendly amount of nudity. The film had a troubled past, but none of that excuses it's many flaws and missteps. Instead, turn your attention to 1980's "Christmas Evil". Now THIS is how to do a dark and twisted Christmas story. The story focuses on Harry, who LOVES the holidays and especially Santa. He is a special kind of crazy though, and we get to see the last part of his slide into insanity. This is good stuff and will have you wondering why you've waited so long to see it.
This is our final podcast of 2018 and we want to thank everyone for sticking around for so long. We will be back in 2019 with more weird and interesting movies, so keep writing to us with your thoughts, requests, suggestions, and nude photos.

Happy Holidays and New Years to All!

Episode 138 - Mermaids and Murderers

We focus on noted genre filmmaker, Curtis Harrington on the podcast this time. We start off with his first feature, 1961's Night Tide, starring a very young Dennis Hopper as a young sailor that falls in love with a mysterious woman who seems to leave a trail of bodies in her wake. We follow that up with 1973's The Killing Kind which features a bravura performance by John Savage as Terry, the son of legendary actress Ann Southern. Terry is finally out of prison for a horrific crime, and is finding his head full of thoughts of revenge. These are very different films, but both are compelling and worth searching out. The Killing Kind, in particular, was truly a revelation, but is packed with problematic moments and a list of trigger-warnings as long a mermaid's tail.
