The Extreme Cinema Podcast

It's the season 3 finale! So what better way to celebrate than watching the obscure straight-to-video shlock horror movie 'Elves'. This movie is completely unhinged, Dom and Alex desperately try to make sense of it, discussing it's incomprehensible plot, nonsensical script and lazy directing. If you've not heard of this so-bad-it's-good holiday classic, you're in for a treat!

This week on the Extreme Cinema Podcast, Dom and Alex talk about one of Hitchcock's most underrated movies, 'Frenzy'. Discussing its dark humour, on location shooting and superb directing, but also picking apart the unparalleled career of the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock.

Well, we had to do a Guinea Pig film at some point didn't we. This week Dom and Alex tackle the infamous Japanese shocker Mermaid in the Manhole. Discussing its attempts to be more of an actual film than its predecessors, as well as the series as a whole, its legacy, and connection with horror manga.

Welcome back to the Extreme Cinema Podcast! In the season premiere Dom and Alex tackle one of the most infamous cult movies ever made, Caligula. Discussing its many iterations, including the new 'Ultimate Cut' and its mad backstory, but also its themes and whether or not a masterpiece has actually been salvaged from this wreck. Get ready, season 3 of the Extreme Cinema Podcast starts now!!!

In the first Extreme Cinema Podcast two-parter, Alex and Dom discuss the work of one of their favourite directors, the master of surrealism himself, David Lynch. In this first part, they discuss Lynch's place in the popular culture, while talking about his films: Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, and the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. Strap in folks, this is a good one!

This week Alex and Dom look at probably the most obscure and possibly the most insane film we've talked about so far, Devil Story!!!! Not gonna lie, this week we just lose our minds over this. I mean I've never seen anything like this, we spend like half the show trying to decipher what on earth actually happens in this film. This'll be a classic episode!!!!

We're shaking things up for this mid-season finale. Instead of just talking about one film, we're talking about a whole movement. In the first special episode for The Extreme Cinema Podcast, Alex and Dom talk about the French New Extremity Movement, the origin of the term, notable films and what became of the filmmakers most associated with the movement, such as Gaspa Noé and Claire Denis.

In the first episode of the new season of The Extreme Cinema Podcast, Alex and Dom take a look at Takashi Miike's boundary pushing work of horror: Audition. Discussing its themes of gender and Japanese society, as well as its subversion of genre tropes and the mad-man filmmaker at the helm of it, that being Takashi Miike.

Sorry everyone :(

On today's episode Alex and Dom discuss Andrzej Żuławski's cult classic Possession; it's categorisation as a video nasty and what makes its performances and cinematography so great.

This week Alex and Dom talk about the massive horror phenomenon that is Saw (2004); its impact within the horror genre and pop culture in general, as well as discussing the film itself and the ever-weaker batch of sequels that just kept coming.

This week on the podcast Alex and Dom discuss the Hong Kong Category III insanity that is 'Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky', delving into it's place within the cult movie cannon and its artistry, but mainly just trying to our head's around exactly what on earth we just saw!

In today's episode Alex and Dom lose their minds over Jörg Buttgereit's transgressive work of insanity 'Nekromantik'. Discussing what, if anything, the meaning behind the film is, but largely we just spend half an hour trying to work out what on earth we just watched. This is an absolute classic of an episode!
