    In this long-delayed episode of the Bodacious Horror Podcast, Gill and Roscoe are joined by horror historian, author and all-round excellent person Frank Dello Stritto to talk all things Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, with a particular focus on "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein". In discussing his latest book - "I Saw What I Saw When I Saw It" - Frank reflects on his time growing up in the suburbs of New Jersey with the omnipresent companionship of TV re-runs, Shock Theater presentations of classic horror movies and the faded stars of Saturday afternoon matinees. Frank talks about the formative power of film and TV, and along the way we discuss everything from "Chico The Rainmaker", "The Cisco Kid" and "The Lone Ranger" through to "The Twilight Zone", "Frankenstein meets the Wolfman" and "American Horror Story".

    This week those vampiric vaudevillians Gill & Roscoe are sinking their teeth into three blood-curdling epics, namely "Dracula" (1931), "Dracula (Spanish language version)" (1931) and "Martin" (1976). As well as in-depth discussion of the Tod Browning/Bela Lugosi classic, we also look in detail at the myriad of special features on the Blu Ray. As ever, we spoke about a whole range of other topics, including the "Oldboy" remake (2013), adaptations and remakes in general and free-running in the community urban environment.

    This week your mechanised Masters of Ceremony Gill and Roscoe return to take on two very, ahem, different tales of science run amok. First up, we have the latest Aaron Eckhardt joint, "I, Frankenstein" (2014), and to discuss this we are joined by our good friend Ideal Cynic, who has some rather 'colourful' views to share. Next, we take on the controversial reboot of the "RoboCop" (2014) franchise, and are joined by the slightly less antagonistic Duncan from The Podcast Under The Stairs. *SPOILER WARNING* RoboCop spoilers appear from 01:14:20 - 01:24:58.

    This week, Gill and Roscoe are joined for an evening of polite conversation and barely believable tangents by the writer and director of "Children of a Darker Dawn" and "The Ecstacy of Isabel Mann", Jason Figgis. Jason proved to be the perfect guest, discussing his wide-ranging influences and his unique approaches to film-making while also bringing to the table a wealth of anecdotes featuring Sir Simon Marsden, John Hurt CBE, Mike Leigh OBE, John Boorman, Danny Boyle and more! We recorded this before Christmas, but some gifts are worth waiting for, friends... "Children of a Darker Dawn" is available now on region free DVD from Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

    Gill and Roscoe are back, rested, recuperated and ready to usher in another year of horror-hipsterisms for the frighteningly unfashionable. Join your hapless hosts as they once again brave the racks of Europe's Number One Single Price Retailer to bring you two more Poundland pulse-racers, "KFZ: Kentucky Fried Zombies" AKA "Die-Ner (Get It)" (2009) and "Some Guy Who Kills People" (2012). As if that wasn't enough, we're once again delighted to be joined by our dear friend and disrespected colleague, Bodacious Horror's Genuine Nerd, Thomas Hughes. Like the Ghost of Christmas Past, Thomas brings with him "Santa's Slay" (2005), starring WCW legend Bill Goldberg, and like old Ebeneezer, Gill and Roscoe vow to change their ways for good. One for the ages? Probably not, but there's plenty of good stuff to come in 2014. Thanks for sticking with us.

    This week's very special episode of the Bodacious Horror Podcast sees your clueless comperes catapulted into chronological chaos, as Gill's Nicholas Lyndhurst-inspired meddlings with the fabric of space and time kickstart a chain of events which unwittingly spark World War 3. Faster than you can say "jump the shark", they hatch a plot so convoluted that even JJ Abrams says it isn't a sustainable premise for a series. In an effort to repair the damage to the timeline caused by their foolish actions, Gill & Roscoe present a special episode dedicated to the most celebrated time traveller of them all, The Doctor! Along the way, your erudite emissaries discuss "The Three Doctors" (1972), "The Five Doctors" (1983), "Remembrance of the Daleks" (1988), "Dimensions in Time" (1993), "Doctor Who: The Movie" (1996), "The Curse of Fatal Death" (1999), "Time Crash" (2007), "Night of the Doctor" (2013) and "Day of the Doctor" (2013). Nobody puts The Doctor in the corner.

In recognition of this admittedly sketchy provocation for patriotism, our focus turns to this sceptred isle, with 3 science fiction shockers sprung from the fertile pastures of this green and pleasant land. First up we have the UK and Ireland's own Godzilla clone "Gorgo" (1961), followed swiftly by England's answer to Alien Resurrection, "Xtro" (1983), and closing out with the alcohol-themed horror comedy "Grabbers" (2013).

Don't call it a comeback - we've been here for years! Well, one year, to be precise, and as such it's also our belated one year anniversary show, featuring some nice messages from friends near and far! We also find the time to discuss some films, including the cult gore classic "Highlander" (1986), the notorious slasher "Brazil" (1985) and the tame-by-comparison "Event Horizon" (1997).

Join Gill and Roscoe as they discuss the infamous "Amityville Horror" (1979) and the recent blockbusting James Wan joint "The Conjuring" (2013).
