  • Episode 69: Gomorrah (2008)
    Sep 29 2025

    This week, Graham hops in the driver's seat with beset promises to Joe of an exotic destination. And where did they land? In the gang infested suburbs of Naples, Italy. That could mean only one thing, the fellas are talking Matteo Garrone's oppressively grim crime epic, Gomorrah. So tune in for discussions of urban crime, typical vs atypical mafia films, as well as their experiences with shooting firearms, drug robberies, stealing cars, child labor, and high fashion! Check it out!!

  • Episode 68: The Boxer's Omen (1983)
    Sep 22 2025

    We're back and things are about to get weird! Join us as we talk Kuei Chih-Hung's INSANE horror-action film The Boxer's Omen, a film so entrenched in chaos, describing it feels like the ravings of a lunatic. But if's you're a fan of the Shaw Bros, Bolo Yeung, black magic, practical effects, dissolving bats, alligator skulls, creature feature work, eye gouging, head ripping, Buddhism, full moons, boobies, and of course Tawainese boxing, then do we have something in store for you!!
