Split Your Head

This episode's special guest is Rob Jabbaz, a Canadian filmmaker who created my favourite film of 2022 - The Sadness! If you haven't watched it yet, what are you waiting for?? It's one of the most brutal and exhilarating takes on a "viral horror flick" where people are succumbing to a mysterious infection that turns them into sadistic psychopaths. We talk about how his film was received in Taiwan...

Second episode of Season 2 and we've got the talented underground filmmaker, David Dawson. David's been carving out a unique style over the past few years, getting his friends together to shoot films that blend drama and horror together in an exciting way. His last film, "Flesh Games", took a Jackass-style mock-doc from goofy hijinx to nightmare cinema. A bit of genre-hopping sculpted to get the s...

The first episode of Season 2 is actually the last episode of Season 1! Yes, this particular recording was Frankenstein-ed together after numerous technical difficulties led to failed attempt after failed attempt - but we persevered because 1) THIS GUEST IS STEPHEN F**KIN' GRISCHUK, and 2) Stephen friggin' Grischuk! If you don't know him yet, you will know him soon, an indie horror filmmaker burst...

This extra special episode I've got Jared Auner from Mondo Macabro (& Neon Eagle Video) to talk about their upcoming Halloween Sale and Flash Bundle dropping on October 20th. We go over all their bangers, overlooked gems, as well as hints at what's to come during the sale and in the new year! We also dive into other films, music, and the meaning life, but don't worry if you're just wanting the...

This episode might be the funniest one yet as I welcome the three dudes that produce one of my favourite podcasts: Unwatchables. Seth Troyer, Marc Dottavio, and Tony Scarpitti take extreme/challenging/avant-garde/wtf cinema analysis to a whole new level and I brought them on to pick their brains on what it's been like to endure films like Salo: 120 Days of Sodom and Space Jam: A New Legacy. We had...

This episode's special guest is none other than Payson Power from death metal astronauts, Tomb Mold! Payson also runs the horror & cult film long-sleeve shirt company, BodyBags, so we spent way more time gushing over Charles Bronson flicks than putrid riffs but plenty of time was still spent on Tomb Mold's brand new album, The Enduring Spirit, as well as his instrumental math-pop project, Dayd...

Fred and I dive deep into the Japanese answer to Cronenberg (if every film wa...

Jetta Weinstein joins us for an episode on the exploitation directors Mike and Roberta Findlay. Starting with their early sexploitation origins in the early 60's to Roberta's output of campy horror in the 80's (after Mike sadly was killed in a freak helicopter accident). Jetta's knowledge on these two filmmakers is astounding, which led to a fantastic chat. Be sure to check out her profile on Lett...
