Show Me Something Wrong

We pop back in-between film shoots to say hi for a short little mini! The historic Shinsekai Kokusai Gekijo is closing down! This repulsive grub hub of pink films and men skulking about for love has been a staple of Shinsekai for the last 75 years. Guy and Dave head there to pay their respects and watch LOOK INTO ME aka WIDOW'S PERVERTED HELL (1991), a usually impossible-to-see Hisayasu Sato film....

And just like that, we're on a break again! In this episode, we discuss why we're taking a break, our highlights and lowlights of the season, and the rip-off films we didn't get the chance to feature.  We hope you've enjoyed the season. Please stay subscribed! We'll be back. And while we're gone, please throw us a cheeky rating and review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!  Follow Show Me Something Wr...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! To wrap up this season of the pod, Dave shows Guy MIZERY from 2023, directed by Daddy Love. This gender-swapped version of Stephen King classic MISERY is a true Tubi trip to hell, replete with a complete lack of foley, incomprehensible plotting, and fumbled lines left in the edit. Dave tr...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Guy unfortunately shows Dave JUNKO from 2017. JUNKO is a retelling of the horrifying Junko Furuta concrete-encased high school girl murder case... from India. Yes, you read that correctly... INDIA. From long baffling tangents to impromptu musical numbers, this is undoubte...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Dave shows Guy TITUS ANDRONICUS from 1998... or 1999... a Shakespearean adaptation shot on video in a warehouse in Tampa, Florida. This episode has been in the works for a long time with Dave digging through defunct websites and hunting down cast members. So much mad stuf...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Guy shows Dave DIABOLICAL INHERITANCE aka HERENCIA DIABÓLICA aka MEXICAN CHILD'S PLAY, a Mexican killer doll movie from 1994. This lethargic outing doesn't have that much in common with film it's supposedly a "rip-off" of, but it does feature the "world's smallest actor"...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Dave shows Guy GUMS, a 70s porno parody of JAWS that destroys every braincell it comes in contact with. To say that this film is cooked is an understatement. This is a relentless barrage of puppets, giant floating members, horrific sex scenes, and blow-up dolls... all tol...

Guy had a wonderful week and shares it with Dave in this cheeky little amuse-bouche. Topics covered here: Shozin Fukui's PINOCCHIO 964 cinema run, the future of METAL DAYS, Yumika Hayashi screenings, the DVD release of Hisayasu Sato's DISTORTED SENSE OF TOUCH, and signing someone's pipe.

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Guy shows Dave ROH aka SPIRIT, an Indonesia HELLRAISER rip-off from 1989. This truly is a blow-by-blow recreation of the original horror classic, only with added colourful goo, moustaches, and floppy fake dead bodies. With a film this thin, prepare for some of our most ba...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Dave shows Guy BACH KE ZARA aka BOLLYWOOD EVIL DEAD. Yep, two EVIL DEAD rip-offs in a row! It's from 2008... or 2006... long story. And it is, of course, from India. BOLLYWOOD EVIL DEAD has had a profound effect on Dave over the last decade and a bit, playing on his mind...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Guy shows Dave BLOODY MUSCLE BODY BUILDER FROM HELL, perhaps better known as THE JAPANESE EVIL DEAD. It's from 1995 (kind of), directed by and starring musclebound hunk Shinichi Fukazawa. This film is a true work of love, and its incredibly drawn out making of is a testam...

In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels, and wrong adaptations! In this episode, Dave shows Guy LADY TERMINATOR from 1988 — Indonesia's take on THE TERMINATOR with added lasers, black magic, eels, ripped off willies, madcap effects work, and lengthy musical tangents. This is a wildly entertaining film... and the tales behind its creation are equally w...

We're finally back! In Season 2 of Show Me Something Wrong, we're focusing on rip offs, unofficial sequels and wrong adaptations. In this episode, Guy shows Dave HOMOTI from 1987 — a film that lies somewhere between Turkish soap opera and a (maybe?) progressive LGBTQ+ rendition of E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL. Regardless of what genre you put it in, it is most certainly a goddamn nightmare as its ti...

We're finally letting you know why we took a break from the podcast—we made a movie! (To be fair, if you follow our socials, that's old news.) In this mini-episode, we discuss the production of our found footage mockumentary: THE UNSOLVED LOVE HOTEL MURDER CASE INCIDENT. A film starring Guy and Dave, shot in Japan, in an abandoned love hotel! It was a wild fast-paced shoot that genuinely left us t...

In case you didn't listen to the last episode... don't worry. We're not gone. We're just having a little rest. We'll be back with more nonsense soon.

It's our 50th episode, and, to celebrate this milestone, we're discussing the two movies that inspired this podcast: DOOR and SABAKU! When we first started this podcast, Banmei Takahashi's DOOR was a brutally underseen, almost forgotten film. Now, thanks to Third Window Films, it has had a second life! Guy unpacks the story of its production company and his own introduction to the film. We then ta...

Our 50th episode is coming up soon, so we thought we'd take some questions from you all! In this mini, we talk about everything from our favourite death scenes in movies to the war of convenience stores in Japan. Enjoy and see you in a week for number fifty!

Dave shows Guy TALK TO ME, DICKY! from 1992, written and directed by its star Alfred Cheung, a very familiar face to those who enjoy 90s Hong Kong cinema. This film has one of the most jaw-dropping narratives of anything we've covered. Just look at this plot synopsis: "A policeman learns to talk to his penis (which can talk to other men’s penises) and his penis helps him investigate a rape case."...

Guy shows Dave I WANT TO EAT from 1994, written by and starring Issei Sagawa, the Kobe Cannibal. This movie is among the bleakest and grossest things we've ever covered. Guy digs deep into the horrible history of Sagawa from his murder and cannibalism of Renée Hartevelt in Paris to his starring role in an AV film, uncovering amazing and unsettling facts along the way. The film itself is a bizarre...

Dave shows Guy BIG MONEY RUSTLAS and nearly ends their friendship. This is a Western from 2010 starring Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of the Insane Clown Posse. It is a carnival of bad jokes, clown makeup, Jason Mewes pissing his pants, and horse-punching. Featuring some truly baffling cameos from Vanilla Ice to Tom Sizemore to Screech from SAVED BY THE BELL. Dave shares his personal history as an t...

Guy shows Dave MIND FUCK from 1990 (maybe), directed by Mah Wu Tu (maybe), from China (maybe). This period piece porn film is an absolute mystery. Its existence is totally baffling, and Guy digs deeper than ever to attempt to uncover the truth. Black magic battles, S&M whippings, possessed corpses, the longest shower in history, a buck-toothed hunchback, and a farting ninja—regardless of this...

Remember our episode about SUPER XUXA CONTRA BAIXO ASTRAL? The Brazilian movie starring Queen of the Little Ones, Xuxa, and a whole lot of puppets? Well, Guy has uncovered a very upsetting urban legend about a piece of Xuxa paraphernalia and child murder! Come join us for this spooky mini!  Follow Show Me Something Wrong on Instagram and Twitter . Show Me Something Wrong theme song by JUNK!

Dave shows Guy THE BLACK CAT from 1989, not to be confused with the million other films with the same title. This is the one directed by Luigi Cozzi, the Italian b-movie master and charismatic clerk of Dario Argento's Profondo Rosso Store! This film is a sort-of-kind-of meta sequel to Argento's SUSPIRIA and goes to some extremely strange spacey places. Cue vomit, haunted fridges, incongruous rock...

Guy shows Dave HAWK JONES from 1986. The tagline for this sums it up perfectly: The movie with the kids in it! Yep, HAWK JONES is a buddy-cop crime caper with a cast made up entirely of tiny kids. Despite being aimed at a young audience, the kids spout sexist quips, smoke cigars, and blast each other to death with guns and grenades. HAWK JONES also features the greatest villain of straight-to-vide...

Dave shows Guy END OF THE WICKED, a Nigerian film from 1999 made by Helen Ukpabio and the Liberty Gospel Church. This is definitely the darkest thing we've ever talked about as Dave digs deep into its disturbing backstory of Christian propaganda and child witch accusations. But not to worry, there's plenty of goofy video effects, vomit-spattered witch make-up, humans turning into guinea pigs, cros...
