About this listen
Filmjitsu puts a (fashionably late) final piece of candy into your Halloween haul with a review of the 1987 no-budget German exercise in poor taste, Nekromantik. Yeah, it’s about what it sounds like, and yes, it goes exactly where you think it will. But could anyone have predicted that Mike would react so violently to Jay’s cinematic claymore that he’d end up in the hospital? Mike recounts how this infamous slice of exploitation horror led to an actual emergency room visit before the guys count down their Bottom Five Romantic Horrors, a repugnant roll call of films that make love and disgust uncomfortably inseparable. (Spoiler: David Cronenberg shows up because of course he does.) As usual, things wrap with a spirited round of Dueling Double Bills before Mike reveals what’s next for Jay on the upcoming—and somehow still holiday-themed—episode. Yes, the podcast that wields films as deadly weapons has leapt straight from “Happy Halloween” to “Happy Holidays” faster than the seasonal aisle at Target. And honestly… what’s more hurtful than that?
