This month, Kris and Donna test their might with a double feature pitting T.F Mou's “Men Behind The Sun” (1988) against Andrey Iskanov's “Philosophy of a Knife” (2008), two films which take very different approaches to depicting the horrors inflicted by Imperial Japan's Unit 731.CONTENT WARNINGS: World War II, Racism, War Crimes, Forced Captivity, Forced Drugging, Cruel & Inhumane Treatment, Torture/Mutilation, Dismemberment, Experimental Surgery, Needles, Electrocution, Child/Infant Abuse/Death, Child Nudity (MBTS), Implied Pedophilia (MBTS), Animal Abuse/Death (Rats, Cats) (MBTS), Actual Cadavers, Autopsy Footage (MBTS), Prison Exploitation (Philosophy), Sexual Abuse, Assault (Philosophy), Pregnancy (Philosophy), Forced Abortion (Philosophy), Suicide (Philosophy)Got questions, comments, stories, or movie suggestions?

Thank Freddy for Wes Craven! On this episode of Kill By Kill, we're getting serious - mostly - about one of the best horror films to emerge from the 1990s, Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Gena & Patrick are joined by Birth Movies Death writer and Horror Movie A Day author Brian Collins as we dig into the pure Hollywood tale of the lengths one master moviemaker will go to torture his leading lady... onscreen, of course. Along the way we talk about eel punctures, stabbing Freddy in the dick, the special hell of Hollywood assistants, and why people misunderstand the connection between New Nightmare and Scream. Plus, we delve into what makes Heather Langenkamp such an incredible star and John Saxon an icon for the ages. Join us, won't you?https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kill-by-kill/id1124379551#episodeGuid=48df4464-a227-4458-be3f-120d62e3fa1cNever fear - new episodes of Kill By Kill are made available every other Friday!

IndieWire's Film Editor Kate Erbland joins Scott to share her reporting on the sexual assault allegations against Aint It Cool founder Harry Knowles. They also consider Alamo Drafthouse CEO Tim League's responses to the revelation that he'd brought Devin Faraci back onto the payroll only a few weeks after the Birth Movies Death editor-in-chief stepped down following allegations against him last year, as well as more stories of protectionism instead of punishment for assailants at the Drafthouse. As several groups came together to talk during Fantastic Fest (see here, here, and here for a start) and online, the biggest questions circle around how the Drafthouse can make real changes in order to value a safe environment for women, how the film critic community can work to actively bring women's voices into the ranks, and whether we can keep an eye on accountability once the initial outrage has died down.

With Michael Douglas' sexy trilogy of FATAL ATTRACTION (1987), BASIC INSTINCT(1992) and DISCLOSURE (1994), American pop noir hit a real hot streak about 25 years back. This week, we discuss the genre hybrid that introduces a flawed Douglas protagonist to his match/demise in the femme fatale's of Glenn Close, Sharon Stone and Demi Moore. On an episode that's real steamy and just as political, we've got a guest to boot. 3:35 - FATAL ATTRACTION, and how Glenn Close wins and loses big 20:35 - Can this podcast handle BASIC INSTINCT? 28:05 - Birth Movies Death writer Jacob Knight guests as our Verhoeven scholar 50:54 - DISCLOSURE won't let you ignore its reactionary politics

Alright.  Okay.  So Devin Faraci is back again.  Remember?  He's that guy who does Birth Movies Death.  That's cool.  So is Myke Chilian.  He's a member of the punk/thrash/folk whatever you want to call it kick ass band The Manx.  That's cool too.  Neil took notes for me cause I wasn't there, but there's something about Cash in a PJ Harvey video and a link to something called "Dog Dick".  Okay.  Enjoy.  Ugh.   Songs   Back in the Trash by The Manx Famous Last Words by Har Mar Superstar Thinking of You by The Thermals Go Home by Summer Cannibals Morrisson's Lament by Jimi Hendrix No Catharsis by Wince Conquest by Eleven Thirty Four Pluto by Les Savy Fav N/A by Paws Lightning Bolt by Jake Bugg Rainbow Hammer by The Manx Breaking Through The Grey by Destination N0where Satisfactory World for Reasonable People Learn more about your ad choices.

Fangirls Going Rogue is now an award-winning podcast thanks to our merry band of listeners! We are so excited to be a fan-favorite podcasting ensemble since teamwork has always been part of our message. Come join the celebration in our latest episode. So much has happened since Episode 31. The Rogue One trailer released, Disney XD previewed Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, and Sarah Woloski earned the Kessel Run medal for conquering the Disneyland and Disney World runDisney events. Teresa Delgado helped break down the news, and Tricia Barr shared insights into her first 5K and reading Star Wars: Bloodline. Be sure to tune into Skywalking Through Neverland Episode 118 to hear more about the listener meet-up. After a fun and rousing discussion on Twitter about The Clone Wars Mortis arc, Fangirls Going Rogue takes a deep dive into storytelling themes and symbolism. Inspired by last month's podcast discussion on the Star Wars Rebel finale, Tricia Barr leads an exploration of duality in Star Wars, from good versus evil to selflessness versus selfishness. Can a selfish choice be a good choice? Can a selfless choice be wrong? Is the balance of the Force simply the natural cycle of life and death, as revealed through the tree shedding its leaves and blooming anew on Mortis as the Daughter dies so Ahsoka can live? The tree inspires the Fangirls to ponder other stories where similar symbolism can be found, such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Pocahontas, and Snow White. Want to continue the conversation? You can, using the hashtag #MortisArcLive. An article on Birth Movies Death about Captain America: Civil War storytellers taking inspiration from The Empire Strikes Back sparked opinions on what lessons Star Wars can take from the successful Marvel model. We want to hear your thoughts. Tell us on Twitter. Teresa went outside the box again for another unique characters discussion. Is a lightsaber a character? We have thoughts, and we bet our listeners do too. We are now on Google Play for Android users. As always reviews and rating are our life blood. Thanks for listening, and until next time: Yub yub!

After last month’s episode sharing our initial reactions to The Force Awakens, this month’s episode begins our analysis and discussion of the new movie, as well as the lessons about storytelling and speculation that can be learned from it. Needless to say, we’ll have plenty more discussion of the movie to come in future episodes. Before turning to The Force Awakens, though, we start off the show with a different topic for our meta segment on how to speculate wisely – the Star Wars Rebels midseason trailer for the back half of Season Two. We consider some elements of the trailer that make connections to The Force Awakens to increase interest in Rebels, such as the Jedi crossguard lightsaber, a Jedi temple site, and the appearance of Princess Leia. We also discuss the trailer’s links to prior Star Wars lore, such as a Sith holocron, Twi’lek freedom fighters and Mandalorian warriors from The Clone Wars, and the “Old Master” Ezra encounters. Another feature of note was the social media message shared by showrunner Dave Filoni prior to the trailer’s release, advising fans about its spoiler-heavy content. For the world-building segment, longtime fan of the Empire, Jay Shah, joins us to talk about the First Order in The Force Awakens. In some ways the First Order operates as a direct descendant of the Empire, but in other ways it differs significantly. Some of these distinctions, Jay points out, have significant moral implications for whether fans would feel willing to root for the First Order in the way they may have done previously for the Empire. In addition to the politics and military statuses of the galaxy, we share our views on the individuals who lead the First Order, including Supreme Leader Snoke, Kylo Ren, and General Hux. The storytelling segment focuses on the use of the Original Trilogy’s legacy heroes in The Force Awakens and the hints at their post-Return of the Jedi backstory revealed in the movie. A key touchstone for our discussion is Devin Faraci’s article at Birth Movies Death on the portrayal of Han Solo in the film. Faraci analyzes Han’s character arc in The Force Awakens as a regression to his early Original Trilogy persona rather than progression forward, and maintains that alternative characterizations and backstories for Han could have kept his role in the movie essentially the same in relation to the new generation heroes while making his characterization stronger and more believable to the audience. Our discussion of the legacy Big Three agrees in large measure with the kinds of concerns Faraci raises, and we discuss similar dilemmas with the portrayals of Leia and Luke in the movie, as well as Han. Our plot bunny giveaway draws upon one of the great open questions after The Force Awakens: how missing scenes might be used to reveal or further hint at Rey’s heritage.

*All the President's Minutes* is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 45, I join writer for Rebeller, Fangoria, Dark Moon Digest and connoisseur of movie trash-art, Jacob Knight. Jacob and I discuss to the allure of the idiosyncratic, the dopamine rush of chasing the truth in President's and David Fincher's Zodiac and Jacob advocates for the upcoming documentary Alan Pakula: Going for Truth. *About Jacob Knight* Rising from the sewers of Philadelphia, Jacob Knight is a man out of time currently residing in Austin, TX. When not lamenting the Disneyfication of our current culture, he's usually enjoying a whiskey, watching some form of disreputable trash cinema, or drunkenly perusing one of the few remaining video stores. No matter what, do not @ him. *Twitter:* @JacobQKnight ( https://twitter.com/JacobQKnight ) *Outlets:* Rebeller, Fangoria, Dark Moon Digest, Birth Movies Death ( https://birthmoviesdeath.com/author/jacob.knight ) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
