Kurt Brown, also known by some as Vandal Drummond, introduced me to so much. I look at him as the older brother I don't have and thank him for driving me all over Hollywood to show me some amazing places. He's also the executive producer and researcher of Out In the Ring, a documentary you can get from Vinegar Syndrome.In this episode, we go deep into Skidoo but go off on several tangents, which include Johnny Legend, pre-1970s wrestling all over the world, including Titantes en el Ring, Dr. Jerry Graham and much more. This is one of my favorite episodes because it captures a true conversation between us, two friends who haven't spoken by voice in years.

Welcome to a new feature on the podcast, where I'll have guests come on and defend movies they love, particularly ones that aren't well-loved. When you hear Celeste de la Cabra, you should expect to learn something. I'll let her explain herself: "I'm a leftist, an anti-fascist, an ethical vegan, non-binary, queer, and an atheist. Stating this up front is important because these things are important to me and will naturally inform my biases and analyses. I'm not interested in pretending to be neutral on social issues or politics. I approach every film I watch as a piece of art, rather than just content or entertainment, and I aim to encourage others to do the same."You can find more about her on YouTube, Patreon, Letterboxd and TikTok.This episode, Celeste and I discuss Trog, a movie that many look down on. I was honored to have her on as my first guest and look forward to return appearances.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.Important links:Theme song: Strip Search by Neal Gardner.

Yes, everyone can talk about All the Colors of the Dark and Torso, but let's get deep into Sergio Martino with four of my favorite weird picks from him. Uppercut Man finds Sergio in Miami, making a boxing movie that isn't like any other. Ernest Borgnine, Daniel Greene, Mary Stavin, Giuliano Gemma...Crud Buddies have this posted on YouTube.American Rickshaw is the most perfect of all late Martino movies: shower sex with the jeans on, rickshaws in Miami, Donald Pleasence as a faith healing warthog...get it from Cauldron Video.Graffiante desiderio has Sergio going back to the Giallo but also incest and a dummy drop ending. Craving Desire is hard to find but if you're ready to infest your computer with viruses, go here.Un orso chiamato Arturo has George Segal and Carol Alt. Yes, in a Sergio Martino movie. It's on YouTube in Italian, so learn a new language.Is there a secret prize for finishing this episode? Did I compose a song for it? What are you waiting for?
