Please consider episode 236 to be our late Christmas present to you all! We are looking at two recent films from director Ryan Kruger , starting off with Fried Barry from 2020. This is such a trippy, insane and full-tilt experience that it might leave you scratching your head the first time you watch it.

It has become a tradition around Halloween that we find movies that deal with our ACTUAL fears. For this episode, Mike has revealed his own fear of getting old and the changes that come along with that.

After a VERY long break, we're finally back with a new episode saluting the legendary Roger Corman ! We chose two films he directed that are EXTREMELY different from each other. We start with 1964's science fiction flick " X the Man with the X-Ray Eyes " starring Oscar-winner Ray Milland as a scientist who wants to expand the range of human vision. He develops a serum that he tests on himself that...

It's been a LONG time since our last episode, but we are returning with something VERY special. Steve Barkett is a one-of-a-kind filmmaker who we had never heard of but who left us with two really great examples of low-budget sci-fi magic. We start with his first directing effort, 1982's " The Aftermath ". In the film, Barkett is part of the crew of a spaceship that returns to Earth to find it has...

We are back to college for episode 232! We start off with " The Initiation " from 1984. With a great cast including Vera Miles , Clu Gulager and Daphne Zuniga , it's a twisty little tale of a college student with a cloudy past that all comes to light during a sorority initiation. It's a solid slasher with some fun reveals. We follow that with 1987's " Blood Sisters " from director Roberta Findlay...

Western films made in Italy are very special to us in the cave. They turn the American version of the genre on its ear and give a whole new way to view that era. We look at two interesting examples on this episode of the podcast. We start off with the epically titled " Django Kill! If You Live, Shoot! " from 1967. Directed by  Giulio Questi  and starring  Tomas Milian  as "The Stranger" it's a twi...

Welcome back to the 70's in the cave this time as we celebrate the two films of  Warhawk Tanzania . We start off with  Force Four  from 1975 where Tanzania is part of a 4-person team that are assigned special missions by an unknown group. Their mission in the movie is to recover a stolen African artifact, but to do so is going to require a LOT of martial arts, and this movie really piles it on. We...

As we kick off 2024, we are changing a few things in the cave. We are staying true to our mission of finding strange little movies and telling you about them, but we're making some small adjustments to the overall format. To begin the new year, we're looking at two films about movie-fans who are more than a little bit out of control. As fanatics ourselves, these both struck pretty close to home! W...

Brace yourself for a truly epic episode! As a special gift during the holidays, we bring you a very fond retrospective of the year 2023 and the movies we REALLY liked and the ones we REALLY didn't! But, before we get to that, we spend time remembering the good old days of visiting actual video rental stores and the magic of discovering something new based entirely on the box art or the simple fact...

There is something undeniably freaky about puppets and mannequins. This time in the cave we look at two movies which feature this fact at the core of their stories. We start off with " Magic " from 1978. Directed by  Richard Attenborough  and starring true Hollywood heavyweights  Anthony Hopkins ,  Ann-Margaret  and  Burgess Meredith , and with a script by the legendary  William Goldman , based on...

To celebrate Halloween, we went back to the well for another round of "What Scares You?"© where Julie returned to the creepy land of clowns! We start off with the abysmal " The Clown Murders " from 1976. Directed by  Martyn Burke , who've we talked about before, this is a fully Canadian production with some familiar faces in the cast, including the late great  John Candy ! The story is more compli...

This one has been a long time coming! We have been wanting to cover the work of  Ron Ormond  since we first stepped into the cave, many years ago! He has been slowly gaining more recognition recently and a box set of his films has been released. Starting out on stage, he moved into films and had a successful run making exploitation movies primarily for drive-in audiences. After an accident in a sm...

For the epically-long episode 224 we look at two dark comedies with cannibalism at their core. We start off with the 1980 classic " Motel Hell " from show-favorite director  Kevin Connor . It focuses on "Farmer Vincent" played by  Rory Calhoun  and his sister Ida, played by Porky's-own  Nancy Parsons . They run the "Motel Hello" and are known all across the local area as the purveyors of "Farmer V...

We cross "the pond" to find two unique films from the legendary British film studio " Hammer ". Both movies feature vampires and supple young females, and both are VERY entertaining! We start off with 1971's " Twins of Evil " which stars Grand Moff Tarkin himself,  Peter Cushing , as a crusading member of "The Brotherhood" who is trying to save the souls of everyone in his small European village f...

It's Pride month and we are looking at two really fun movies written by and starring the iconic  Charles Busch ! We start off with " Psycho Beach Party " from 2000 which is a mash-up of the old beach party movies from the 50's and 60's combined with a bit of the "teens running amok" films, but with all of that projected through a modern lens and presented in a campy, tongue-in-cheek send up of all...
