Dissect the Direct

A gyro-copter, a boomerang and a scarcity of fuel. George Miller's dystopian classic goes under the knife for our 35th episode.

Road rage and revenge in an almost post-apocalyptic world. We take a scalpel to the film that started a 45 year long franchise and shaped our culture's view of what the end of the world would look like.

Pleasure and pain. Angels and daemons. We put Clive Barker's phenomenally successful supernatural horror on the slab for our 33rd episode.

We complete the Nicolas Cage trilogy with this gloriously silly popcorn action flick for our 32nd episode.

 We put this ultra-violent sword and sorcery tale of old on the slab for our 31st episode.

For our 30th episode we put the campiest superhero film of all time under the knife. Hawkmen, a villain with a Fu Manchu moustache and booming performance from Brian Blessed.

Supernatural terror in 80s suburbia. We examine this iconic horror classic and the rumours of the curse that plagues its franchise in our 29th episode.

Dobermans, booby traps and a shared national trauma. Hollywood's most famous fictional Vietnam war veteran is placed lovingly on the slab for our latest episode.

We put this silly sci-fi comedy under the scalpel in our 25th episode.

A severed head, a dead cat and a useless security guard. We dissect the Lovecraftian video nasty that drew snorts of derision before it commissioned two sequels and its own Broadway musical.

Swords, sorcery and silliness. The Go-Go brother of Cannon flew too close to the Mattel sun with waxy wings in this critical and commercial failure that sank their company in the late 1980s.

We do our part to reclaim this cinematic artefact from the clutches of Neo-Nazis and wide eyed conspiracy nuts in our autopsy of this low budget science fiction horror.

Disney and Warner Bros go under the scalpel in our trip down memory lane to Toon Town.

We meant to get this out before Xmas but were busy with other projects. We pick apart the Christmas movie that became the template for most of the action films between 1989 and 1996.

Anarchic Christmas chaos is under the scalpel in this episode. It's always after midnight somewhere.

We take a scalpel to one of Tom Hank's earlier films when he was still best known as a comedy actor. The film deals with issues of paranoia, xenophobia and mundanity in suburbia. Something... Daily Mail... something... Reform UK. Write your own fucking satire.

Join us for our 17th pod where we take a scalpel to the story of a nerd's Pyrrhic attempt to get laid. This episode marks the one year anniversary of our project.

Our 14th podcast takes you to a re-imagining of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World which takes place in a futuristic Los Angeles. It's also an action flick with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. We've covered our bases.

Festival season is now over so we jump back into the pod for our 13th episode with the nostalgia inducing original TMNT film. It's weird and hasn't aged well but it's still a lot of fun. Sometimes the jokes write themselves...

The final film of the original Evil Dead trilogy goes under the scalpel and we take a few swings at Braveheart too in the intro. Same timeline, innit.

We cut open a Pre-Nolan Batman film for your geeky pleasure. Not suitable for little ears though. Soz.
