| 5/5/26 | Ep. 108 - Man Bites Dog / Natural Born Killers feat. Jesse Hassenger | Film critic Jesse Hassenger stops by UNWATCHABLES for two movies about serial killers and the media that loves them. These blood-soaked satires stirred up controversy for their graphic violence and dark senses of humor when they were released two years apart in the 90’s: 1992’s black comedy mockumentary MAN BITES DOG, and Oliver Stone’s hyper-stylized 1994 crime film NATURAL BORN KILLERS.You can find more from Jesse at https://letterboxd.com/rockmarooned/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 4/21/26 | Ep. 107 - Afternoons of Solitude feat. Roman Pessarov | In an UNWATCHABLES first, today’s episode captures our real-time reactions to 2025’s most gruesome documentary. In honor of our guest Roman Pessarov’s podcast CINEMA STROLLS, we finished watching Albert Serra’s bull-fighting doc AFTERNOONS OF SOLITUDE minutes before hitting record; we discuss the nature of first impressions, how much artistic merit can be found in two hours of animal torture, and why critics celebrated Serra’s stubbornly observational approach to the bloodshed.You can hear more from Roman on Cinema Strolls with Angel Radev and Noura Al Kadri here: https://open.spotify.com/show/3qMnZCAWiJl21BVZQXekmfAnd you can check out his short film here: https://youtu.be/pmOiWENP0EQ?is=ocktF3XB4s-ZfawdUnwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 4/7/26 | Ep. 106 - Birth / The Trouble With Being Born feat. Guy Lodge | Variety’s Guy Lodge returns to UNWATCHABLES for two films that faced similar controversies over their supposedly "irresponsible" use of child actors. Jonathan Glazer’s 2004 drama BIRTH made some viewers uncomfortable with certain scenes between Nicole Kidman and the ten-year-old boy claiming to be her character’s dead husband reincarnated. But that’s nothing compared to our other film, which was pulled from the Melbourne Film Festival over its story of a child android being abused by its owner: Sandra Wollner’s little-seen 2020 sci-fi provocation THE TROUBLE WITH BEING BORN.You can find more from Guy at https://variety.com/author/guy-lodge/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 3/24/26 | Ep. 105 - Nothing But Trouble feat. Nathan Rabin | UNWATCHABLES welcomes back film critic and author Nathan Rabin to discuss one of the most bizarre and reviled so-called comedies of the 90’s. Dan Akroyd’s first and to date only directorial effort was a big-budget bomb that asked the burning question, “what if Chevy Chase starred in THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE?” It may not have been a question audiences were interested in, but it resulted in something so strange and off-putting that some consider it a cult classic: 1991’s NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 3/10/26 | Ep. 104 - Worst Best Picture (Crash / Green Book) | UNWATCHABLES kicks off Season 5 with our pre-Oscars special, where we ask the question: are these the worst Best Picture winners? Both of these films caused controversy when they unexpectedly took home the statue, and both happen to be white liberal filmmakers’ attempts at healing racism in America. What could go wrong? We’ll discuss the Oscars in general, why these films won, and if either of them is actually the most embarrassing movie ever celebrated by the Academy. The nominees are: Paul Haggis’ 2004 ensemble drama CRASH, and Peter Farrelly’s 2018 buddy road movie GREEN BOOK.Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 12/23/25 | Ep. 103 - Cannibal Holocaust / The Green Inferno | For today’s season finale, we're joined by author Caleb Bethea for possibly our longest-awaited episode. Ruggero Deodato's 1980 video nasty CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST is on the shortlist for the most controversial films ever made, from its onscreen animal cruelty to the widespread bans and obscenity charges following its release. We weigh in on whether it’s beneath or slightly above contempt, and how it looks next to a modern homage that tries recapturing that disgusting magic: Eli Roth's 2013 cannibal splatter film THE GREEN INFERNO.You can find Caleb's book at https://maudlinhouse.net/author/caleb-bethea/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 12/9/25 | Ep. 102 - Private Parts / Ringmaster feat. Anthony Crislip | Today we're joined by Anthony Crislip of Akron, Ohio's THE NIGHTLIGHT cinema for the vanity projects of the two most controversial broadcasters of the 90's. Both Howard Stern and Jerry Springer helped reinvent their respective mediums, whether for better or worse, but they only ventured onto the big screen once (and within one year of each other). We see if these *very* 90’s star vehicles are as unwatchable—or unlistenable--as the shows their stars hosted: Betty Thomas' 1997 Howard Stern biopic PRIVATE PARTS, and Neil Abramson's 1998 Jerry Springer comedy RINGMASTER.You can find out more about The Nightlight at https://nightlightcinema.comUnwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 11/25/25 | Ep. 101 - Two by Godard feat. Nathan Gelgud (La Chinoise / British Sounds) | Today we're joined by cartoonist Nathan Gelgud to tackle the most polarizing and some might say Unwatchable period of a legendary filmmaker's career. Jean-Luc Godard was one of the leading figures of the French New Wave, at least until he abandoned narrative filmmaking for experimental political films that alienated much of his audience. We'll be looking at two films from this most controversial of eras: 1967's political docu-fiction LA CHINOISE, and 1969's avant-garde documentary BRITISH SOUNDS.You can find more from Nathan at https://nathangelgud.com/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 11/11/25 | Ep. 100 - Sick / In My Skin feat. Mike D'Angelo | UNWATCHABLES celebrates its 100th episode with film critic Mike D'Angelo, who joins us for two films about the ecstasy of agony. These movies are all about pain of the self-inflicted kind, one fiction and one non-fiction look at the line between self-harm and self-care: Kirby Dick's heart-rending, stomach-churning 1997 documentary SICK: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BOB FLANAGAN, SUPERMASOCHIST, and Marina de Van's 2002 body-horror drama IN MY SKIN.You can find more from Mike at: https://letterboxd.com/gemko/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 10/28/25 | Ep. 99 - Halloween Special feat. Christopher Norris (Exorcist II: The Heretic / Beyond the Door) | On today’s Halloween special, we’re joined by author and visual artist Christopher Norris for two films that are decidedly NOT The Exorcist. William Friedkin's 1973 phenomenon inspired plenty of imitators, but few rode its coattails as closely as these: 1974's Italian-made knock-off BEYOND THE DOOR—a minor hit that was sued for copyright infringement—and John Boorman's official, infamously reviled 1977 sequel EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC.You can find more from Chris, including his latest novel, at https://steakmtn.com/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 10/19/25 | Ep. 98 - Unwatchables Down Under feat. Laura Venning (Wake in Fright / The Nightingale) | Today UNWATCHABLES goes Down Under for two grim Australian thrillers with the help of film critic Laura Venning. These films faced controversy for their upsetting depictions of brutal violence—in one case, the unsimulated kind—but that's nothing compared to what they say about human nature: Ted Kotcheff's 1971 psychological thriller WAKE IN FRIGHT, and Jennifer Kent's 2018 revenge Western THE NIGHTINGALE. | — | ||||||
| 9/30/25 | Ep. 97 - Last Tango in Paris / Blue Is the Warmest Color feat. Steven Bernstein | Today we're joined by filmmaker/author Steven Bernstein for our tribute to intimacy coordinators, none of whom were present for these films. These painfully raw relationship dramas courted controversy not just for their explicit sex scenes, but also for the conditions under which they were shot: Bernardo Bertolucci's 1972 erotic drama LAST TANGO IN PARIS, and Abdellatif Kesheesh's 2013 Palme d'Or winner BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR.

| 9/6/25 | Ep. 95 - The Idiots / Tiptoes feat. Dr. Ethan Lyon | Hollywood has come a long way in depicting individuals with disabilities with candor and respect… these are not those films. Dr. Ethan Lyon joins us for two movies it’s hard to imagine getting made today, though they say a lot about changing ideas of representation and political correctness: Lars Von Trier’s 1998 dark comedy THE IDIOTS, and THE “Gary Oldman as a little person” movie, Matthew Bright’s 2002 romantic drama TIPTOES.You can find more from Ethan at https://letterboxd.com/dz1ga/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 8/19/25 | Ep. 94 - Kissed / Amer feat. Frank Ritz | Today we’re joined by filmmaker Frank Ritz for what Freud would call our “Eros and Thanatos” episode. These two films blur the line between sex and death, including the rare look at necrophilia that’s… actually kind of sweet? The films are: Lynne Stopkewich's 1996 necrophiliac romance KISSED, and Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani's 2009 avant-garde giallo AMER.You can find more from Frank at https://letterboxd.com/frankritz/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 8/5/25 | Ep. 93 - Showgirls feat. Grace Winburne | Today we’re joined by Cinematary's Grace Winburne to help us chart one film’s course from THE defining flop of the 90’s to midnight cult classic to the unlikely subject of critical reappraisal.

| 7/22/25 | Ep. 92 - Two by John Boorman (Deliverance / Zardoz) | Today we're joined by Cinematary's Zach Dennis for the wild, weird, and (in one case) horrific films of director John Boorman. We take a look at his harrowing Hollywood breakthrough, 1972's disturbing survival thriller DELIVERANCE, and then its truly bizarre cult sci-fi follow-up: 1974's Sean Connery-starring ZARDOZ.You can find more from Zach at https://www.cinematary.com/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 7/8/25 | Ep. 91 - Family Annihilators feat. Elena Lazic (Natural Enemies / The Stepfather) | Film critic Elena Lazic joins us for two films about “family annihilators,” the real-life phenomenon of husbands and fathers who kill their entire families. We discuss a long-unavailable 70’s downer, as well as it’s darkly comic slasher-film counterpart: Jeff Kanew's bleak 1979 drama NATURAL ENEMIES, and Joseph Ruben's 1987 horror film THE STEPFATHER.Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 6/30/25 | Ep. 90 - Straw Dogs / Elle feat. Amy Hensarling | Amy Hensarling of WATCH THIS LIST returns to discuss two films mired in controversy for their depictions of victims of sexual violence. Sam Peckinpah's 1971 thriller STRAW DOGS has been both criticized and defended for decades for its notorious depiction of a woman seemingly embracing her attacker. We consider what it’s trying to say about men, women, and humanity as a whole, plus how it’s answered by another film: Paul Verhoeven's 2017 psychological thriller ELLE.Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

| 6/10/25 | Ep. 89 - Conservative Media feat Sami Gold (What Is a Woman? / Lady Ballers) | Today we’re diving deep into the bowels of THE DAILY WIRE’S film imprint with help from writer and conservative media expert Sami Gold. Our subjects are one “documentary” and one “comedy” that truly test the title of our podcast: 2022's WHAT IS A WOMAN?, a piece of transphobic propaganda hosted by conservative anti-personality Matt Walsh, and 2023’s LADY BALLERS, an anti-woke sports comedy that somehow hates women even more than trans people.Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.

| 5/27/25 | Ep. 88 - Megalopolis feat. Bilge Ebiri | Francis Ford Coppola is no stranger to highly publicized cinematic debacles, but few have been as long in the making as MEGALOPOLIS. The GODFATHER director put up $120 million of his own money to fund this decades-old passion project, a philosophical sci-fi epic plagued by trouble all the way from production to its disastrous reception. With help from VULTURE’s Bilge Ebiri, we consider whether it's another misunderstood masterpiece— or if it was understood very well indeed.You can find more from Bilge at https://www.vulture.com/author/bilge-ebiri/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.

| 5/13/25 | Ep. 87 - Two by Joel Schumacher feat. Jason Bailey (Falling Down / 8mm) | Critic Jason Bailey, author of Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend, returns to UNWATCHABLES for two controversial films by the late, um, great(?) Joel Schumacher. 1993's FALLING DOWN may be THE angry white man vigilante thriller, a Rorschach test that either examines or celebrates racially charged grievance. Then there’s 1999's bleak psychological thriller 8MM, which answers the question: what if SE7EN shared a director with BATMAN & ROBIN?You can find Jason's book, Gandolfini: Jim, Tony, and the Life of a Legend, at https://mzs.press/SIGNED-Gandolfini-Jim-Tony-and-the-Life-of-a-Legend-by-Jason-Bailey-Hardcover-NEW-p730146973Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.

| 4/29/25 | Ep. 86 - Targets / Tower feat. Vikram Murthi | Today we’re joined by film critic Vikram Murthi for two very different films inspired by the 1966 University of Texas tower shooting. First up is 1968's Boris Karloff-starring TARGETS, the directorial debut of Peter Bogdanovich that featured a fictionalized version of the shooter just two years after the tragedy; and then 2016's TOWER, an animated hybrid documentary told entirely from the ground view of the victims and those who acted to save them.You can find more from Vikram at https://x.com/fauxbeatpoetYou can support us on Patreon at patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.

| 4/15/25 | Ep. 85 - Beauty and the Beast / Alice | Today we go down the rabbit hole of the Czechoslovak New Wave with two dark, grimy, surreal versions of beloved fairy tales. First up is the 1978 horror fantasy BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (or literally, THE MONSTER AND THE VIRGIN), from THE CREMATOR’s Juraj Herz; then Jan Švankmajer's demented stop-motion take on Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, 1988’s ALICE.Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.

| 3/18/25 | Ep. 83 - The Cable Guy feat. Matt Singer | Today author and ScreenCrush editor Matt Singer returns to discuss one of the oddest detours in a legendary Hollywood career. When THE CABLE GUY came out in 1996, Jim Carrey was on one of the hottest streaks in cinema history; fans just didn't know what to do with a dark comedy/thriller that made him into a full-blown creep. We talk about why it was considered a flop, where it falls in the careers of both Carrey and director Ben Stiller, and if it really IS that weird.You can find more from Matt at https://screencrush.com/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.

Jodorowsky made some of the most bizarre and controversial cult films of the 1970's, and we'll be discussing perhaps his two most notorious: 1970's phantasmogoric acid western EL TOPO and 1973's psychedelic odyssey THE HOLY MOUNTAIN.You can find more from Bryan at https://www.whatapicturepod.com/Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.You can support us on Patreon at patreon.com/unwatchables to get access to exclusive bonus content and weigh in on what we watch next.Find us online at www.unwatchablespod.com or shoot us an email at unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com.
