Episode 185 - Sexually Transmitted Demons

We recorded this episode on Valentine's Day, with love and romance filling our hearts and minds as we looked at two disparate films where sex and demons are connected. We start off with the light hearted goofiness of 1987's "My Demon Lover" where a woman in New York City is struggling to find the right man until she meets a weirdo who's possessed with a demon that presents itself any time he becomes sexually aroused. It's dumb, but fun, and completely forgettable. We follow that up with a modern masterpiece, 2014's "It Follows" where a curse is passed from person to person via sex. The curse causes a demon to relentlessly pursue you, with a goal to violently kill you. The only way to stave off the attack is pass the curse on to someone else by having sex with them. It is a layered parable that still manages to be very scary and fun at the same time. Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes.

Episode 184 - Assemble the Cave

We turn our attention back to one of our favorite genres, the big dumb action-movie!  We talk about two obscure flicks from the 80s that have had a bit of a renaissance lately. We start off with 1982's "Kill Squad" where a team of martial artists team up to find out who attacked their leader. It's fantastic low-budget fun. We follow that up with "Action USA" from 1989 which recently got a blu-ray release from Vinegar Syndrome. It's surprisingly coherent and has a great cast of favorite faces, having fun and causing a TON of havoc!
