Episodes

Tusk / Clown In A Cornfield 04.05.2026

160. "Right, I'm in the box." From the blue mist emerges old friend and silent partner of the podcast, Igor. He's brought moonshine and a large ornate pipe, stuffed with a rough shag. He and Jamie drink and smoke, dance and laugh amongst the rubble and destruction. Foolishly gleeful, in the face of their own impending doom... Last episode then folks. Last episode EVER! Seriously, we're never doing...

Predator: Badlands / One Battle After Another / Frankenstein / The Home 03.04.2026

159. "Tell me if this is creepy." Hey listeners. You'll remember, when you last left us, that Jamie was trapped beneath the weight of his own crumbling, fragile imagination. Turns out, the foundations of the dungeon was made of something akin to, lets say, strawberry jelly. He's close to death, but has been sustained, by a diet of blue fungi. He crawls, and crawls, beneath the rubble, below the ve...

Hard Boiled / The Black Phone 16.03.2026

158. "The collateral damage in this film is so breath taking." Sad news listeners. Last month, after a particularly vivid, cheese fever dream, Jamie entered the lower bowels of the dungeon. As fore told in his dream, he discovered a brick, marked with a witchy sigil. In a daze, he foolishly removed this brick, only for the entire, ancient structure of the Betamax Dungeon to come crashing down arou...

Christmas Evil / Review of 2025 24.12.2025

157. "Thanks for pissing all over me story, Jamie." Merry Christmas, one and all! If these words could hug you they would, and then in your ear, with smokey whiskey breath, they would whisper, merry Christmas you loveable bastard. So it's Christmas in the dungeon, and wow, do we have a well researched, jam packed bumper episode of Christmas fun for you! To begin with, the dungeon duo have watched...

An American Werewolf In London 15.12.2025

156. "It makes me think of puking up at Christmas." Hiya listeners, welcome, this time round it's a mighty maim feature presentation.

As ever, forever, this podcast contains swearing and drunken opinions that could possibly irritate or offend. Let's hope you find som...

True Crime, Trailers and Toads 08.12.2025

155. "He was taking them from Diddy Manor to Diddy Heights." We're back baby! Thanks for waiting around. The dungeon duo return with another one of those inept, chatter box style episodes. Shoot the shit, sort of thing. Topics up for discussion this time round include; Australian wildlife, recent true crime stories, videogames, hate groups, and the torrid tale of a local prostitution ring, smashed...

Starcrash 11.11.2025

154. "Was there a scrawl?" Hello space opera fans, please join us, for another spectacular maim feature episode of the Betamax Dungeon! This week, the dungeon boneheads tackle the thoroughly unspectacular; Starcrash, from 1978. It's an Italian Star Wars rip off, with the Hoff in it, and a spaceship shaped like a hand, what could possibly go wrong? As ever, forever, this podcast contains swearing a...

Tornado / The Fall Guy / Alien: Earth Finale / Peacemaker / MAFS 08.11.2025

153. "Punch him across in front of a Cortina." Greetings, denizens of the dungeon! It's another one of those, off the cuff, directionless type episodes. Jamie and Fortch chatter the usual nonsense, and recount the fun stuff they've been watching over the last couple of weeks. Also in this episode, more lead fuelled tales of the bleak 1970s. As ever, forever, this podcast contains swearing and drun...

Rob Zombie's 31 29.10.2025

152. "I shouldn't have showed her the tooth." Happy Halloween dunge heads! Butternut squash was the gourd I was thinking of! Its the spooky season, so Jamie and Fortch sat down and tried to make sense of Rob Zombie's 31. Which was quite a task, because this movie is kinda senseless. Also this episode, cannibal chat and kinky foot talk. Sorry. As ever, forever, this podcast contains swearing and dr...

One Battle After Another / Peacemaker / Monster: The Ed Gein Story / Bring Her Back 22.10.2025

151. "Smashing bananas in his face, just to prove he's more ape like." Autumnal greetings dear listener. Welcome to another, shoot the shit, chatterbox style episode of the Betamax Dungeon.
