Don't Touch My Coffin

It's Shaw Brothers time at Don't Touch My Coffin. The guys make their triumphant return by examining two extremely different martial arts movies from the most legendary studio in the business. Since neither has a number in the title, how are we going to know which is better? Guess you'll have to listen to find out.

Can Tom Selleck's 'stache stand up to the powers of Satan? Tom and Mark are gonna find out and more importantly, whether or not the movie is any good. Join us for the biggest skeleton in Magnum, P.I.'s closet with Daughters of Satan.

It stars Rosie Grier, features a great car chase, and invented hip hop. What more could you ask from a junky 70s movie? Join Tom and Mark for our review of The Thing With Two Heads. OpeningTheme: Drifter @Nada Copyright Free Music

This is one of our two or three favorite episodes of the show: Jesse Yanniel joins us to discuss a little-seen masterpiece of Canadian cinema. Shoot could have changed the world if anyone had actually seen it. Listen to the Coffin guys discuss Shoot, starring Cliff Robertson and Ernest Borgnine.

It's one of cinema's all-time greats and makes for a great filler when previously scheduled events go awry. It probably also has the best soundtrack in film history. Tom and Mark discuss what makes Deep Red the ultimate Giallo, and a definite high water mark in Dario Argento's career. OpeningTheme: Drifter @Nada Copyright Free Music

We give Joe D'Amato another chance at greatness, after we were disappointed by Papaya. Does this Italian gross-out movie live up to its potential. Join us for an afternoon of eye-gougings, organ removals, stabbings, and stranglings when Tom and Mark review Beyond the Darkness. OpeningTheme: Drifter @Nada Copyright Free Music

Can Tom be converted to the cult of Jesus Franco? Is this at least better than Eugenie? And which one is The Diabolical Dr. Z, anyway? Enjoy this returnee from the vaults, newly remastered to sound better than ever. OpeningTheme: Drifter @Nada Copyright Free Music

In the mid-70s, John Boorman lost his damn mind. Zardoz and Exorcist II: The Heretic might be the craziest movies ever made with studio money, and we're here to discuss these two products of a deeply creative (and sometimes misguided) mind. Enjoy our dive into the most distinctive one-two punch in studio history, and get a couple of podcast recommendations from Tom and Mark. OpeningTheme: Drifter @Nada Copyright Free Music

In the 60s and 70s, Japanese cinema was taken over by a genre of sexually explicit, narratively interesting films that attracted audiences in droves. It's a little seen genre in America, but we cover three of the best-known, completely different "pink" films: Go Go Second Time Virgin, Sex & Fury, and the impeccably-titled Terrifying Girls High School: Lynch Law Classroom. Explore a type of film you didn't even know existed and broaden your horizons with Don't Touch My Coffin. OpeningTheme: Drifter @Nada Copyright Free Music

We cover three strange rock and roll movies: The Monkees' Head, Frank Zappa's 200 Motels, and The Ramones' Rock and Roll High School. Can Tom convince Mark of the essentialness of Frank Zappa's music? Can Mark convince Tom that the Ramones are decent live performers? Find out on this classic from the vaults.

Trash cinema becomes literal in this one, with a city made of garbage and a cast that your mother would have warned you about, if she'd known they existed. It's John Waters' Desperate Living, and its on Don't Touch My Coffin.

Tsui Hark's first film is a martial arts/slasher/giallo with a black-gloved killer murdering people with butterflies. It's crazy, and we have a great time discussing it and pondering why more people haven't seen it.

Live from the International House in Philadelphia, we cover the first slasher film in history and talk about our favorite holiday horror movies. 

A manifesto of sorts, explaining why we love the junk movies of this particular era, and what they have to still offer us today.

How far would you go to watch naked women dance desultorily? If you're anything like the Coffin guys, you would even go so far as watching Orgy of the Dead, written by the legendary Ed Wood. It's not so fun to watch, but definitely fun to talk about.
