| 02 Jul 2024 | Video Nasties (Part 7) | 02:56:32 | |
It's another big hitter episode but not as we know it. Over the past year I have been putting this show together, knowing that time will be short for me come spooky season. So I compiled my favourite parts from the video nasty series of the top tier, successfully prosecuted films over on Patreon and have put them in order of my least favourite to the movie that I think is the best. All the nasties with a total of 19 guests, a silly amount of booze and the filthiest 39 movies that you ever would see.
Between the interview segments there are various clips from an incredibly important documentary which is actually an episode from the BBC series 'Open Space' in which the public made programmes under their own editorial control. It's an episode called 'Suitable for Viewing in the Home?' from 1984. This gives some detailed context to pretty much all the conversations for this episode. | |||

| 30 Sep 2023 | 2008 (Part 1) | 01:52:09 | |
It's time for one of those massive episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 2008 was a pretty low key year for horror movies. Of course there were tons of them released but except for the likes of Cloverfield & the fifth Saw sequel, I don't recall the world in general going nuts for any of this stuff. Looking at my findings today, it appears that with horror we looked away from America for the real gems . But what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during '08? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and a 5+ hour running time split over 3 episodes.

| 01 Feb 2023 | 1980 (Part 1) | 01:40:23 | |
It's time for one of those massive episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 1980 was massive for horror movies.

| 02 Nov 2023 | 1963 (Part 2) | 01:06:37 | |
It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 1963 was not the most ground breaking year for horror movies, well, as far as the big hitter films are concerned anyways. The highs are really high & the lows are few & far between. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1963? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and over 4 hours of running time split over 3 episodes. This is 1963, A Year In Horror.
| |||
| 14 Feb 2024 | Eye of the Devil (1966) w/ Twin Temple | 00:44:33 | |
I think Eye of the Devil is an undercard for 1966
But there is no denying there is something magical about it. I just can't put my finger on it. J. Lee Thompson directed Cape Fear in 1962, Happy Birthday to Me in 1981 plus a couple of Planet of the Apes movies as part of his genre sweep during his career. Eye of the Devil is often overlooked which is a real shame. When I asked the fantastic satanic doo-woppers TWIN TEMPLE to pick a movie to cover for this show, imagine my delight when they came back with that very choice. YES! Today we are joined by singer Alexandra Jones and her guitarist husband Zach. That's right! It's the time of the Temple. Right here, right now. | |||
| 02 Aug 2023 | 2009 (Part 3) | 01:13:59 | |
It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 2009 was a decent year for horror movies, well as long as your don't mind the French extreme, torture porn, the found footage explosion, j horror and a glut of remakes. The highs are really high & the lows are absolute trash. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 2009? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and a 6+ hour running time split over 4 episodes. This is 2009, A Year In Horror.

| 02 Jun 2024 | Video Nasties (Part 3) | 02:08:50 | |
It's another big hitter episode but not as we know it. Over the past year I have been putting this show together, knowing that time will be short for me come spooky season. So I compiled my favourite parts from the video nasty series of the top tier, successfully prosecuted films over on Patreon & have put them in order of my least favourite to the movie that I think is the best. All the nasties with a total of 19 guests, a silly amount of booze & the filthiest 39 movies that you ever would see.
Between the interview segments there are various clips from an incredibly important documentary which is actually an episode from the BBC series 'Open Space' in which the public made programmes under their own editorial control. It's an episode called 'Suitable for Viewing in the Home?' from 1984. This gives some detailed context to pretty much all the conversations for this episode. | |||

We also chat about the music of the Uniform, touring with Boris & of course his history with horror & he even decides on which is the most 'horror' of the Uniform songs. Rowdy! | |||

| 02 Nov 2024 | 1965 (Part 2) | 01:09:32 | |
It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a three parter anyways. 1965 was a low rent year for horror movies on the whole but some younger hot shot directors were beginning to changed things. A modern flavour was evident in a few of the picks. But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1965? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10.
