Cinema Smorgasbord – Bartel Me Something Good – Shelf Life (1993)

On this episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD (the world’s finest Paul Bartel-themed podcast) we’re tackling Paul Bartel’s final directorial feature, the sadly abused (and semi-unavailable) bunker comedy SHELF LIFE from 1993! Born out of a stage-play by stars O-Lan Jones, Andrea Stein, and Jim Turner, Bartel turns it into a wildly visual phantasmagoria of rituals, re-enactments and hormonally confusing games, with a typically wicked sense of humor. Check it out!

The Carnage Report Episode 54: Late Night with the Devil

On this episode of the podcast, Julie and Nick look at the talk show terrors of Late Night Night with the Devil from directors Cameron Cairnes and Colin Cairnes, now on Shudder. Plus, the pair recommend you go watch some found footage films, wax rhapsodic about Chattanooga Film Festival, and discuss trailers galore for Blink Twice, Dancing Village: The Curse Begins, The Little Mermaid, and more. The Cairnes brothers also appear on the semi-regular “The Gate” segment to discuss their film and how they came to horror. Plus, Julie and Nick discuss the strangest things they’ve ever seen on network television. After you’ve listened to the episode, head to Cinepunx to check out clips of what they were talking about!

Cinema Smorgasbord – Further Reeding – The Damned (1963)

Black leather, black leather, kill kill kill! On a brand new episode of FURTHER REEDING we’re digging into the pre-apocalyptic, sea-side pleasures of the 1963 sci-fi classic THE DAMNED (aka WE ARE THE DAMNED), directed by the great Joseph Losey and starring Macdonald Carey, Shirley Anne Field, and – of course – our boy Oliver Reed! It’s about a group of irradiated kids having to live underground as prep for the upcoming nuclear holocaust. Cheery stuff! Have a listen!
