Episode 57 - Evil Dead Trilogy - Sam Raimi
Ahoy there!  Heads up, Jon cocked up his audio so it's the back up mic here.  Join Cammie and Jon as they shamble their way through The Evil Dead trilogy.  We are drawing closer to finding friends of the podcast Dave and Doc but the path is awash with danger.......and booze.
86 minutes | Feb 4, 2021
Episode 56 - Re-Animator - Stuart Gordon - 1985
Ahoy there.  As Cammie and Jon try and find lost friends of the podcast Dave and Doc, they decide to have a little break form the relentless search.  What better way to do that than crack open a beer, talk Re-Animator and drift into sweet oblivion.

Episode 54 - A Bay of Blood - Mario Bava - 1971
Ahoy there!  Been a little while since we checked in from the boat but we're back.  This time round we are on Mario Bava's classic A Bay of Blood.  Will this blueprint for the slasher flick still feel as influential in 2020?  Already got some other episodes in the bag, so regular updates should be back.
53 minutes | Nov 12, 2020
Episode 53 - Tenebrae - Dario Argento - 1982
Ahoy there!   Been quite a while since we weighed anchor to release a new episode.   We are back in style with the Argento classic, 1982's Tenebrae.  The James Ferman inspired history on the UK censorship scene makes a comeback in this one.  Quite an odd history and one that places it at the forefront of the video nasty era.  Deserved or not?  Let's find out.

Episode 49 - House - Steve Miner - 1986
Ahoy there!  This time round Join Cammie and Jon as they take a look at the 1986 horror comedy, House.  As seems to be the tradition on these lockdown episodes much nonsense is talked.  If you don't want to hear us ramble on and get straight into the film, skip to the 20 minute mark :) Stay safe.

Episode 46 - Lords of Chaos - Jonas Åkerlund - 2019
Ahoy!  Still stranded on the ship with no sign of shore leave The Captain and Jon are still on the chain.  This time round we are having a dabble with Jonas Åkerlund.  More precisely his 2019 film surrounding the Norwegian Black Metal scene back in the 90's.  The Captain and Jon were very aware of the scene back in the day so what will we make of this?  Note of caution...this is a hell of a ramble so stick in. The film chat will happen.  At some point.  Eventually.

Episode 42 - The Lost Boys - Joel Schumacher - 1987
Back on the chain after our little trip to Colour Out of Space and it's a hefty vintage number from the 80's in the shape of Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys from 1987.  How much more 80's could this be?  None.  None more 80's.  Will we survive the sensory overload of 80's imagery to piece together some sort of coherent chat on this film?  Spoiler......not very likely.
46 minutes | Mar 7, 2020
