In this latest episode host Kat Ellinger explores the concept of monstrous motherhood and feminine rage in chthonic form for two incredibly complex subversive films. Previously banned in the UK under the heading of video nasty, Andrzej Żuławski's Possession tackles the subject of gothic hysteria and mad love in his usual beautifully excessive melodramatic mode. When Anna (Isabelle Adjani) tries to leave her husband Mark (Sam Neill) for not one, but two lovers, their marriage becomes an ugly battle ground. Meanwhile David Cronenberg's The Brood looks at internalised rage and trauma birthed into murderous children by a bizarre form of alternative therapy (starring Oliver Reed, Samantha Egger, and Art Hindle).

In this episode host Kat Ellinger explores the intersections between Polish director Walerian Borowczyk and British feminist author Angela Carter; especially their shared interest in shapeshifting, fairy tale, eroticism, and female empowerment through embracing the animal within. The main focus of the episode is a discussion of Borowczyk's 1975 film The Beast and Neil Jordan's filmic adaptation of Carter's The Company of Wolves (1984) — the latter co-scripted by the author herself.

We conclude Czechtember 2022 with the 1965 film from Jiri Weiss, 90 Degrees in the Shade. The film was a Czech and British co-production meaning that there is both Czech and English version of the film. It's the story of Alena, a woman who has been involved with a married man who is also her boss. Always a bad mistake, Alena. And one that will lead to a lot of intrigue when Rudolph Hrusinky as Mr. Kurka audits the shop in which they work.Jonathan Owen and Kat Ellinger join Mike to discuss this oddity of Czech cinema.

In a world full of pre-set guidelines the minute you're hatched out, forging your own true path on your terms is something you have to bare-knuckle fight for. In this episode, Kat Ellinger and Heather Drain discuss how discovering punk music and politics helped them kick against the pricks, fight for self-agency, and own their raw creative voice. Life is too short to sell yourself and your soul to those that will never care about you, so let these two guide you on how the art of the uncompromise can set you free.

Heather Drain and Kat Ellinger join Mike to discuss Billy Wilder's Buddy Buddy (1981). The movie is yet another pairing of Walter Mathau and Jack Lemmon. This time they're filling the shoes of Lino Ventura and Jacques Brel in this remake of Edouard Molinaro's L'Emmerdeur. Matthau plays Trabucco, a ruthless hitman, while Lemmon plays Victor Clooney, a milquetoast whose wife left him three months prior. Naturally they get thrown together in the unlikeliest of circumstances and hilarity ensues.The episode features an interview with Miles Chapin and a loving tribute to Klaus Kinski.
