A Serbian Film (ft. lampyman101)
September 19, 2021 12:00 - 2 hours - 82.9 MBIt's the last episode of Season 3 and it's definitely not one to miss as I'm joined by Glenn Criddle, a.k.a. lampyman101. Glenn's the first YouTuber I subscribed to back in 2009 who talked about disturbing films, such as the Video Nasties. The first half of the episode is an interview with Glenn covering many topics, such as why he started his channel, how YouTube has changed, advice he'd give to people looking to start their own channel, and a lot more, including times he's received death ...
Antichrist
August 11, 2021 14:00 - 2 hours - 101 MBWhoever said you can have too much of a good thing clearly never listened to this show. I've brought Myroslava Hartmond back onto the show once again to talk about Antichrist and the films of Lars von Trier. Listen to over 2 hours of quality content as we discuss von Trier's career, Myro's dislike of Willem Dafoe, foxes, and much much more. Check it out!
Grotesque
July 28, 2021 16:00 - 38 minutes - 27.1 MBI love talking about movies in depth as much as the next man, but sometimes it's more fun to do a quick review. On this episode, I'm covering a very nasty film, GROTESQUE by Koji Shiraishi. I'm a big fan of Shiraishi's early film, Noroi: The Curse - did I enjoy Grotesque? Listen to find out! WARNING - lots of graphic content in this one. Blame the film
Audition
July 18, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBI've talked about how Eli Roth was inspired by Audition, so why not go straight to the source? Myroslava Hartmond joins me on the show once again to talk about Takashi Miike's most famous film, and notorious disturbing movie. We talk about the differences from the book the film's based on, its gender politics and, of course, the infamous last 30 minutes. Torture porn starts here - even if the wrong lessons were taken from it. A really fun show which I hope is listened to by a billion peopl...
Martyrs
July 11, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBI watched Martyrs in 2009 and it left such an impression on me that I was scared to watch it again. What happened this time? Find out in this raw episode
Irreversible
June 27, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBI've brought Myroslava Hartmond back on the show to talk about one of our favourite directors, Gaspar Noe. His most infamous film is Irreversible, a film which features one of the most harrowing rape scenes in film history. So a very very bad date movie then. There's a lot more to it though, as we discuss. One for fans of French cinema.
The Devil's Rejects
June 16, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBIt's the last of my Lionsgate series. On this episode, I'm reviewing The Devil's Rejects by Rob Zombie along with all of Rob Zombie's other films. As anyone who's listened to my podcasts before knows, I've never been a huge fan of Rob Zombie's films. So, this episode features THE TRIAL OF ROB ZOMBIE - featuring 5 charges regularly levelled against his films. Is he guilty? Let the trial begin!
Hostel
June 06, 2021 13:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MBIn the second of my Lionsgate series, on this episode I'm reviewing HOSTEL by Eli Roth. Eli Roth isn't a director who's work I've enjoyed in the past - has that changed over time? Find out here, plus quick reviews of Hostel: Part 2 and Part 3
Saw
May 30, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBTom Cannon joins me on this episode to talk about SAW, one of the biggest horror movies of the 2000s. Is it a bad date movie? No. Why am I reviewing it then? Good question. Over the next 3 episodes, I'm going to be covering 3 movies from the 2000s from the 3 biggest new horror directors of that decade. All 3 movies were released by Lionsgate and were part of the so-called "torture porn" cycle. If you're a Saw fan, kick back and relax for for the next 2 hours as me and Tom talk about Saw an...
Cargo 200
May 23, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBOn the 8th anniversary of the passing of Aleksei Balabanov, I thought it was appropriate to review one of his best known - and most controversial - films, CARGO 200. I'm joined by Myroslava Hartmond once again to discuss the film, as well as Balabanov's filmography and legacy in Russian cinema. Plus, why we both love Mark Kermode and his flappy hands.
The August Underground Trilogy
May 16, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 48.3 MBIt's been a while, but I'm back with a brand new series of Worst Date Movies Ever! On the show today, I'm reviewing the August Underground trilogy directed by Fred Vogel. These are 3 of the most disturbing and controversial films of all time, so not a show for the faint hearted...
Romper Stomper
April 04, 2020 18:00 - 1 hour - 76.1 MBOn the show today, I've brought back Myroslava Hartmond to talk about one of her favourite movies of all time, Romper Stomper. This is the film that launched Russell Crowe from Australia into Hollywood stardom; making movies, making songs and fighting around the world! Plus, an interview with me. Yes, me. I asked Myro to interview me about all things Worst Date Movies Ever, films and Greg Knox. Find out about my favourite films, where Worst Date Movies Ever came from, my history, having Asp...
Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS
March 08, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBTom Dennett-Cook is back on the podcast to talk about his favourite subject, Nazis. This time, we're reviewing the daddy (mummy?) of Nazisploitation movies - Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. We dedicate this episode to Ilsa herself, Dyanne Thorne, who passed away earlier this year
Come and See
January 18, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 72.9 MBOne of my favourite kinds of movie is the Soviet war movie, and my favourite Soviet war movie is Come and See, so it made sense to bring Myroslava Hartmond back on the show to talk about it with me! I also wanted to talk to Myro about the H R Giger exhibition in Kiev she helped organise, the journey of bringing it to Kiev, and her role in the Ukrainian art scene as managing director of the Triptych gallery. If you wanted to know more about Myro, this is the show for you. Of course, you sho...
Desperate Living
January 04, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBAs Staind said, it's been a while... Tom Dennett-Cook returns to the show to talk with me about the John Waters movie Desperate Living. But, as well as that, the first part of the show is an interview with Tom about how we met, his blog/radio show Reviews From the Outer Rim, cult movies, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and many other topics. It's an awesome interview but, if you want to go straight to the Desperate Living review, you can skip to 36:47
Freddy Got Fingered
August 11, 2019 11:00 - 52 minutes - 36.7 MBA very different kind of movie for the show today. Carl Rowland joins me to talk about Freddy Got Fingered; a movie which has been described as both the worst movie of all time and a Dadaist masterpiece: which is it? Is it a good or a bad date movie? How long do we stay on topic? How much does Carl hate DC? Find out here
Gutterballs
July 10, 2019 08:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBI'm back after a short break to talk about Gutterballs: a Canadian slasher film that takes place at the world's emptiest bowling alley. If you like swearing, this is the film for you!
Zoo
May 29, 2019 19:00 - 42 minutes - 19.9 MBDo you love animals? Of course you do. But would you want to watch a documentary about people who love animals... a little too much? That's what I brought Tom Cannon back on the show to talk about. One for all the horse lovers out there!
Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom
May 19, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 30.8 MBTom Dennett-Cook is back on the show to talk about one of the most controversial and infamous films of all time, Pier Paolo Pasolini's Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Another one not to listen to while you're having dinner...
Excision
May 09, 2019 04:00 - 44 minutes - 21 MBI’m happy to be joined on the show by Lucy Buglass of the Lucy Goes to Hollywood blog and podcast to talk about Excision by Richard Bates Jr. If you like blood - and who doesn’t - this is the film for you.
Head-On
April 29, 2019 21:00 - 1 hour - 34.4 MBMyroslava Hartmond is back on the podcast to talk with me about the film she makes all her dates watch: Head-On (Gegen die Wand) by Fatih Akin. Expect an in-depth discussion of Fatih Akin's career, impromptu singing, Nicolas Cage impressions, a total burial of City of Angels and much more. It's hitting another bar on your internal xylophone.
The Vomit Gore Trilogy
April 21, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 31.5 MB**WARNING** - this episode of Worst Date Movies Ever is a review of Lucifer Valentine's infamous Vomit Gore trilogy: Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, ReGOREgitated Sacrifice, and Slow Torture Puke Chamber. In case it wasn't obvious enough, these films contain very adult themes, extreme gore and (of course) many instances of people vomiting. I strongly advise anyone likely to be upset by the content of this show not to listen. With that out the way, I welcome you to series 2 of Worst Date Movies Eve...
The Hills Have Eyes
February 20, 2019 00:00 - 57 minutes - 26.7 MBIn the last of the current series, I'm joined once again by Tom Dennett-Cook to talk about, not one, but two films. The film is The Hills Have Eyes, and we compare both films: the original directed by Wes Craven and the remake directed by Alexandre Aja. Which one do we prefer? Are they both bad date movies? Find out here.
The Piano Teacher
February 10, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 34.1 MBIt’s nearly Valentine's Day so what better way to celebrate the big day with your significant other than by watching a really bad date movie. Such as The Piano Teacher by Michael Haneke, which I watched with Myroslava Hartmond. On this episode, we discuss the film along with Haneke’s overall body of work. Plus, find out what everyone should get Myroslava for Valentine's Day!
The ABCs of Death
January 30, 2019 00:00 - 47 minutes - 22.2 MBI brought Tom Cannon back on the show to talk about one of his favourite things, horror shorts. 26 horror shorts actually as we discuss The ABCs of Death. Featuring shorts by Adam Wingard, Ti West, Ben Wheatley and many more. Some we liked more than others.
The Evil Dead
January 21, 2019 00:00 - 57 minutes - 26.6 MBI have not one but two guests on this episode as myself, Tom Dennett-Cook and Scott Priestley review some obscure movie called The Evil Dead. It's one of the best horror movies of the 80s, the most famous video nasty and it launched the careers of both Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. But, more importantly, is it a good date movie or a bad date movie? Featuring a guest appearance from my cat
Megan is Missing
January 07, 2019 00:00 - 37 minutes - 17.5 MBHappy New Year! Do you know where your children are right now? If you take "torture porn", found footage and an after school special and put them in a blender, you get Megan Is Missing. I was surprised how notorious this film was online, especially the last 20 minutes, so I had to see what the fuss was all about for myself.
The Beast in Heat
December 19, 2018 19:00 - 46 minutes - 21.8 MBExperience the best gift you can get this festive season: myself and Tom Dennett-Cook “reviewing” - actually, mostly laughing at the ineptness of - The Beast in Heat. Make no mistake, this is movie is both terribly made and morally reprehensible, but it’s also hilarious. Enjoy!
Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
December 09, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 28.3 MBReally fun show today as me and Scott Priestley talk about one of the goriest movies ever made, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Possibly the only review in history to mention both Ordet and Mac and Me.
The Asthenic Syndrome
November 28, 2018 18:00 - 57 minutes - 26.9 MBI am joined by the managing director of the Triptych art gallery, Myroslava Hartmond, to discuss The Asthenic Syndrome directed by the late Kira Muratova. Muratova is one of the great overlooked directors in the history of cinema so hopefully this will increase awareness of her work.
The Holy Mountain
November 15, 2018 21:00 - 38 minutes - 18.2 MBCan a movie be too weird to be a good date movie? That's what me and Tom Dennett-Cook discuss on this episode of Worst Date Movies Ever as we review Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain.
The Human Centipede
November 04, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 28.5 MBYou get three films for the price of one on this episode as myself and Tom Cannon review all three Human Centipede films: First Sequence, Full Sequence and Final Sequence. Surely, all three are terrible date movies? - at least that's what Tom Six would want you to think. Plus, stick around until the end for bonus No Holds Barred!
The Human Centipede 1, 2 & 3
November 04, 2018 00:00 - 1 hour - 28.5 MBYou get three films for the price of one on this episode as myself and Tom Cannon review all three Human Centipede films: First Sequence, Full Sequence and Final Sequence. Surely, all three are terrible date movies? - at least that's what Tom Six would want you to think. Plus, stick around until the end for bonus No Holds Barred!
Cannibal Holocaust
October 19, 2018 23:00 - 50 minutes - 23.7 MBWelcome to the worst date movies ever! On this episode, I’m joined by Tom Dennett-Cook to discuss Cannibal Holocaust: one of the most infamous video nasties of all time. Considering everything that happens, this surely has to be one of the worst date movies ever?
