Hell's Belles from Kat Ellinger and Heather Drain was a riotous, raucous evocation of the love of films and music. They extol the importance of art in nourishing our souls, whether it be punk rock, the films of Lamberto Bava or the godliness of Tom Atkins.
Into the Unknown - The Fantastic Life of Nigel Kneale by Andy Murray (@mrgeetsromo.bsky.social) is a thorough biography of one of Britain's most talented writers. It also beautifully captures the joy of Kneale's relationship with the equally genius, Judith Kerr.
The Question In Bodies from Howard David Ingham does exactly what it says on the podcasting tin. Exploring the body and gender in the current cultural landscape. An intellectually invigorating journey from the author of the best books on genre cinema, We Don't Go Back.
Broken Mirrors Broken Minds by Maitland McDonagh was one of the earlier attempts to explore the films of Dario Argento. It remains one of the best.
The Cannon Canon w/ Geoff Garlock and Frank Garcia Hejl were working their way through every film associated w/ the legendary Cannon (as well as other regular diversions). This was a really funny, warm-hearted & insightful ride into the land of Golan & Globus that sadly came to an indefinite hiatus.
The Slasher Movie Book by Justin Kerswell is a fantastic introductory text to the world of slasher films covering a wide range of films from the classics to the little seen.
The Iron Sequel by James Lawrence was a podcast that explores the film sequel in all its often overlooked glory from the ridiculous to the sublime. It journeys from Grease 2 to the various Rambos, Supermen to Police Academy 2 to Demons 2 and much more besides.
A Violent Professional - The Films of Luciano Rosso by Kier-La Janisse (@kierlajanisse.bsky.social) is a breezy run through the films of the titular Italian character actor. A wonderful ode to a man who traversed the world of Italian genre cinema seemingly popping up everywhere.
Fragments of Fear by Rachael Nisbet and Peter Jilmstad is a wonderful dissection of the more obscure gialli from the genre's inception up until the near present. Just as rewarding for the Giallo novice as it is the connoisseur. A podcast as inclusive as it is insightful.
