This time we are talking about the fever dream gore fest from Lucio Fulci, The Beyond. The guest is Jason R Donnelly and we dive into Fulci's life and history. They Beyond is a film that while filled with A level gore is also a bit of an art film. It's also a haunted house film which fits perfectly with releasing it on Halloween.
A little strawberry lager to go with a deep dive into this cult classic "The Beyond," from Italian director Lucio Fulci. So grab a drink and join Andy and Lucas here for the conversation that follows into this "advanced fever dream!" The movie goes a little like this...The cellar of an old hotel is built on top of the door to the beyond. Bloody zombies roam there. A young woman who is heir of the hotel wants to restore it, but she is confronted with a series of strange events. A painter has a lethal fall, the plumber vanishes, and her friend breaks his neck. When she escapes to the hospital of a friendly doctor she doesn't know - a nightmare is waiting there... Written in part by Matthias Luehr. Special thanks to Ash St. John for the theme music.

We're back! We discuss recent films we've seen and then dive into the amazing hellscape that is Lucio Fulci's The Beyond! We bask in the glory that is David Warbeck! We recoil in terror at the gooey-gory set pieces! We dig into the eyeball trauma that Fulci ramps up to 6000% in this film! There's zombies! There's head trauma! There's carnivorous spiders! There's satanic painters! There's ghost dogs! And so much more! Plus we're joined by two very special guests!
We did it guys; insert-arbitrary-number-here of episodes! After brief discussion of the weather and disease, our intrepid hosts mine the same evergreen wells as previous casts: FFX! Dr. Dekker! There are also some recommendations of The Witness and A Ghost Story, before the cast takes a sideways flying kick into the world of anime - Death Note, Naruto and Paranoia Agent all get a healthy natter-about. Also, the King of Segues makes a triumphant return... by accident. This week's focus was of course Lucio Fulci's The Beyond - a dripping good time set in Swamptown, Louisiana. Following a rather inconvenient case of bricked-in-warlock-in-the-basement, the owner of a hotel that happens to be on a gateway to Hell gets some people in to renovate, who soon find their employment being... dissolved. Gruesome practical effects and the customary eye-gauging scene are deployed with aplomb here, so maybe don't sit in the front row. Plus, what an ending - nighmare fuel. Follow us, friend, on a boat trip to the bayou, and while you're at it, git outta mah state!

Our next stop on Italian Horror Month is Lucio Fulci's THE BEYOND! Join us as we review the film, get mixed up with more giallo titles, and pay tribute to David Bowie.
In this episode of Watch.Read.Listen., we discuss Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy and explore both the things we like about and the things we don't. Overall, it doesn't work as a trilogy, and we wonder what would have been different if 1) Guillermo del Toro had stayed on to direct and 2) if these had been two films instead of three. We also look at these as adaptations of Tolkien's book. In our This Week section: Duane: Selected Shorts podcast for March 30: "The Sun and the Moon", Far Fetched Fables podcast episode 100 features a story by Michael Moorcock, and Star Wars Rebels David: Shudder horror movie service, Lucio Fulci's The Beyond
Lucio Fulci's The Beyond stars Catriona MacColl as Liza who opens a hotel built on a hellmouth in Louisiana. This proximity to a center of evil only helps spur some pretty strange occurrences and maybe a few lapses in judgment along the way.
