Show Me Something Wrong

Guy shows Dave WEREWOLF from 1987, not to be confused with the many other films with the same title released around the same time. This one is from Thailand and directed by Sommai Khamsorn. Even if you haven't seen the film, you may have seen a clip from it titled "Greatest Werewolf Transformation Scene Ever". There is more to WEREWOLF than just that scene though. It also features crotch-thrusting...

Warning: This is an especially gross episode. Our third and final mini episode about our recent trip to Tokyo! In this episode, we discuss our visit to Ryuji Yamamoto's izakaya. Yamamoto is an absolute legend of the AV and pinku world and has worked with everyone from Hisayasu Sato to Akio Jissoji. And, most importantly for us, Yamamoto featured in previous Show Me Something Wrong episode, DOG AND...

Dave shows Guy OGROFF aka MAD MUTILATOR from 1983, a French Super 8 slasher. Directed by Norbert Moutier (often credited as N. G. Mount), this film is an insane masterpiece. Every frame is utterly mad with chainsaw fights, incongruous zombies, kid murder, cars being battered to bits, and axes being used in ways they shouldn't. And it's all set to a relentless score that sounds like it was recorded...

The second of three mini episodes about our recent trip to Tokyo! This was recorded after we went out for drinks with Hisayasu Sato and Kôichi Imaizumi. Like minutes after. So, at this point we're like ten beers in and recording the middle of a vomit-strewn Shinjuku street. We share some of the fun stories we heard from Sato and once again discuss our love of his first film DISTORTED SENSE OF TOUC...

Guy shows Dave BLOODY BUNS, a Hong Kong CAT III from 2002. It's a film about a man who murders a family, grinds them up, and turns them into human pork buns. Sound familiar? Yep, BLOODY BUNS is an almost scene-for-scene remake of Herman Yau's 1993 masterpiece THE UNTOLD STORY. Only crappy. So, so crappy. Join us as we lose our minds watching this horrendous film and discuss our love for the brilli...

The first of three mini episodes about our recent trip to Tokyo! This episode was recorded on location in Shinjuku. We discuss the screening of two Hisayasu Sato films: his new film, DEAR KAITA ABLAZE (2023), and his first film, DISTORTED SENSE OF TOUCH (1985). DISTORTED OF SENSE OF TOUCH was a particularly exciting watch as it so rarely shown. After the screening, we were able to chat with Sato a...

Dave shows Guy SOFT SKIN (やわらかい肌) from 1998 directed by none other than Hisayasu Sato, our first returnee director... listen to episode 5: NEIGH MEANS YES if you dare! SOFT SKIN is quite unusual for Sato. It falls (somewhat) outside of the pink genre and, at least at first, seems oddly gentle. However, it's not long before things go haywire with eyeball-licking and a chicken leg being used i...

Guy shows Dave DOG AND AUNT (犬とおばさん) from 1995... sigh... well, we're ready to see our subscribers drop dramatically after this crap. We first became aware of this repugnant film way back in our NEIGH MEANS YES episode, and, after a year and a bit, Guy dredged the gutter and managed to unearth it. DOG AND AUNT is directed by well-known female pinku director Sachi Hamano and tells a sweat-rid...

Dave shows Guy THE BONEYARD from 1991, directed by special effects artist James Cummins. While the DVD cover may feature a goofy zombie poodle, this film is legitimately shocking at times with some of the most horrifying corpse effects in cinema history. Child zombies, Phyllis Diller, gross slime, failed suicide attempts, and psychic trauma–this is one hell of a schizophrenic films!   Follow Show...

Guy shows Dave ZOMBI VIII: URBAN DECAY from 2021 and seriously puts their friendship in jeopardy. This unofficial sequel to Lucio Fulci's zombie classic is truly unlike anything we've covered before (and hopefully never will again). With its slow motion footage of goth-hippy girls dancing topless to rap tunes by MC Dirty D, this is worlds apart from its source material. This film may also hold the...

In this very short mini, Guy shares the jaw-dropping story behind AN OLD MAN AND HIS DOG, a Chinese film from 1993 that was a huge hit when first released. But what makes this seemingly gentle movie about a man and his "big yellow dog" worthy of an appearance on Show Me Something Wrong? Oh boy... this gets dark... Follow Show Me Something Wrong on Instagram and Twitter . Show Me Something Wrong th...

Dave shows Guy SUPER XUXA CONTRA BAIXO ASTRAL aka SUPER XUXA VERSUS THE DOWN MOOD from 1988. This Brazilian film stars the legendary Xuxa, known in her home country as the "Queen of the Little Ones". The target audience for SUPER XUXA is kids, so expect a lot of crystals and rainbows. However, also prepare yourself for an upsetting caterpillar puppet, a dolphin who is worried about his eyes being...

Guy shows Dave FATAL TERMINATION, a Hong Kong actioner from 1990! While this is perhaps not the usual thing we cover, it features a single scene that is among the wrongest moments captured on camera and left us both utterly gobsmacked. Also along for the ride: rocket launchers, back-breaking stunts, helicopter chase scenes, sauna beatings, and a bizarre connection to one of our earlier podcast epi...

Dave shows Guy HYPER VILLAIN from 2011! This is one of the most upsetting films we've covered in a while and a definite outlier in the career of fake documentary maverick Koji Shiraishi. We follow the titular Hyper Villain, a serial rapist and head-basher, as he prepares to celebrate the anniversary of his first sexual assault. While it sounds unbelievably grim (and it is), this teeters between ge...

Guy shows Dave NIGHTY NIGHT 真夜中の悪夢 from 1986! This Japanese anthology horror film was, until very recently, extremely difficult to come by, with information about it online sparse. Guy digs deep, uncovering a lot of information about its production. He even finds the answer to a question that has been bothering everyone on Letterboxd: How exactly did that girl die after just getting a cake t...

We had Matthew C. Vaughan stick around after our HOUSEBOAT HORROR episode to record a mini-episode about CAT SICK BLUES and its release in Japan! Guy grills Dave and Matt on the behind the scenes of the film and its... uh... mixed response in the years following its release. Enjoy! Follow Show Me Something Wrong on Instagram and Twitter .

Dave shows Guy HOUSEBOAT HORROR, Australia's first (kind of) SOV horror film! And, not only that, CAT SICK BLUES star Matthew C. Vaughan joins us as a special guest! Matt and Dave lecture Guy on the meaning of Australian slang and phrases such as "gronk", "bar up", and "wakey wakey hands off snakey" in-between discussing Mark "Jacko" Jackson, Hey Hey It's Saturday, and this absolute mess of a slas...

Guy shows Dave THE FAMILY THAT EATS SOIL from 2005, a film that is most certainly NOT directed Khavn. This is our first trip to the Philippines, and it left our mouths well and truly agape. Little people in diapers, cock fights, children turning into plants, horrific claymation, and, of course, soil-munching—this is a nightmarish deconstruction of a Filipino family that baffled us as much as it en...

Dave shows Guy THE OILY MANIAC. This is our first Shaw Brothers film, and it is a greasy, slippery 70s nightmare set to the tune of the JAWS theme song! Come with us as we unpack the origin story of the Oily Maniac, or Orang Minyak, which takes us to Malaysia and Singapore before we dive into the mad Hong Kong retelling of this weird legend. Lots of strangling, head-crushing, and bicycle-beating e...

Guy shows Dave TAMPON TANGO, one of the most downright strange things we've ever covered. TAMPON TANGO is an experimental porn film from Japan that features meteors dropping from the sky, firecracker tampons, giant peaches, a man playing a guitar with the... uh... wrong body part, a brain-boggling orgy, and relentless close-ups of buttholes. Come join us as we endure a combo of chaos and excruciat...

Oh my lord. It's been a full bloody year of Show Me Something Wrong! Back in July of 2022, we released our first episode, MAD FOXES! Come with us on this fun little mini as we discuss the origins and future of the podcast! Follow Show Me Something Wrong on Instagram and Twitter . Show Me Something Wrong theme song by JUNK!

Dave shows Guy MIRACLE BUNNY 1 and 2, marking our first trip to the strange world of gravure idols and image videos. These two videos are early works from the legendary Minoru Kawasaki, the director behind EXECUTIVE KOALA and THE CALAMARI WRESTLER. Come down the MIRACLE BUNNY rabbit hole with us to a fake Hawaii filled with pineapple men, a giant terrifying rabbit puppet, and a magical Eiko Kuroki...

Guy shows Dave KILLER TONGUE, a film about... a killer tongue. This film is balls to the wall lunacy, spattered in bright colours, chaotic sounds, and poodles in drag. It is headed up by the amazing Melinda Clarke in the lead role and features two horror movie greats—Freddy Krueger and Pinhead—tackling male pattern baldness and forbidden romance. Nuns, guns, tongues, this is a lot of fun! Follow S...

Dave shows Guy SKINNER, a film that at first appears to be a typical 90s slasher but soon becomes something much more grim and disgusting. Not only does it feature the brain-melting cast of Ted Raimi, Traci Lords and Ricki Lake, it also contains a scene that is one of the most fucked things we've covered on this podcast. Dave digs deep into the disturbing background of the film's director, Ivan Na...

Guy shows Dave DEATH POWDER, a seminal piece of cyberpunk history! Guy digs deep into the background of director Shigeru Izumiya and unpacks the fascinating history of this wild film, from its connection to Uber Eats to its original VHS/Beta release. Get ready for impromptu musical numbers, androids, and disgusting piles of slimy living flesh! THE MU ARE COMING!  Follow Show Me Something Wrong on...
