I Spit on Your Podcast

In this episode, we are traversing the gritty sensory overload that is the fascinating world of Japanese Cyberpunk with two powerful films from the 1980s, Death Powder (1986) and Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1988). We will be discussing the loss of identity and the new world of flesh when man infuses with metal or metal becomes flesh, as well as touching upon the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in connection with these films.

As far as necrophilia films go, none are more recognizable than German filmmaker, Jorg Buttgereit's, Nekromantik. Epitomizing underground transgressive cinema, Nekromantik shows us the sensual side of the paraphilia, giving us a film with a legacy of sexual depravity and iconic imagery. A cerebral exploitation film that forces us to witness sex, death and body fluids, and how they cum together so perfectly. Can we fuck the fear of death away? My guest for this episode is Éric Falardeau! Éric has written and directed short films, music videos, the cult horror feature Thanatomorphose (2012), which has won him several awards in film festivals. He also wrote the porn-horror movie The Thing from the Lake (2019). Éric has guest-curated exhibitions at the Cinémathèque québécoise and published volumes on erotic cinema, the history of special effects in Quebec and on body fluids in gore and pornography. He is currently working on his second feature film!!!

It's time to crack open a cold one as the first official season of Kelly's Taboo Terrors is in full swing! In this episode, I am revisiting the often reviled necrophilia short film by director Nacho Cerda, Aftermath (1994). A powerful film without dialogue, Aftermath says wonders about the desecration of the body after death and how violent brutalizing corpses can be. Is this post-mortem rape or just another way to seek revenge? We discuss this and more on the inaugural episode of your new favorite film podcast. My guest for this episode is the Masked Menace from the Quality Violent Cinema podcast, Goblin O'Riley. With his lack of cinematic knowledge and even less of a personality, Goblin has kept his role in the QVC universe just by showing up. He's also the deeply disturbed brain behind Red Lust, aka Bloodlust XXX, and is 1/3 of the brains behind Slave Dolls 2: Red Rooms, now available from New Film Order. When not ruining podcasts or filming disgusting fetish gore/porn, he can be found reading about psychology, philosophy, and esoteric knowledge. He also has a cat named Django, and she's pretty rad.

Intro Music: Robeast by Dance with the Dead Artwork by: Jess Hrycyk Editing work by Jessica

In this episode, we will discuss how Season of the Witch is representative of the dual nature within women seen in the archetypes of The Witch versus The Wife. We will explore the role of the wife in western culture and the societal expectations placed upon women in the 1970s. Also popular during this time was the rise of occultism and witchcraft among these (primarily) white women due to the independence it created. As well, we will examine the image of the witch as representative of feminism and sexual freedom that could be seen taking place during the Sexual Revolution (1960-1980) in which Season of the Witch takes place. As we watch Joan move from the role of a desperate, constrained housewife/mother to a sexually liberated witch, Season of the Witch suggests that she potentially traded one gilded cage for another. How does Romero's perspective about these roles compare to that of two alternative women living their unconventional lives in 2021? This is what we intend to find out in probing the more obscure and underrated 1973 film. Enjoy and welcome to our dark side... Intro Music: Robeast by Dance with the Dead Artwork by: Jess Hrycyk Editing work by Jessica

Historically, female vampires were portrayed as predatory lesbians or as subservient to a Master in the form of Dracula. They were the Brides, a means to bring victims to the male vampire. Modernized versions of the Brides have them liberated from any Master and are unconventional women fighting against the patriarchy and the “traditions” that try to keep them submissive. Female vampires of the 2010s show us the full spectrum of these women - they are taking back the night. Through the films Bit (2019), Byzantium (2017), and Bliss (2019) – We see the Rise of Carmilla.

Frank Baum and the World of Oz, the film as gateway horror and the age-old question: When is it a good time to introduce children to the horror genre?

In this episode, join us as we go deep into the woods to explore Robert Eggers' The Witch (2015). This New England folktale took witches, Satanists and horror fans by storm, and for good reason.

We will discuss the themes of Black Phillip as the symbol of Satan, Satanic Witchcraft and its Empowering force, womanhood, motherhood, even Anti-motherhood. The Witch - our Sinister Rebel - is one of the oldest fighters against paternal domination with an important relationship to Satan. She will Reign & Hex the Patriarchy!
