Make way for the final episode of Season 2! This time I had quite a sprawling chat about British horror with Dr. Ethan Lyon, whose PhD in Film Studies and British heritage gave us a hefty dose of things to talk about. As selected by Ethan, we cover "The Dark Eyes of London" (1939), "Horrors of the Black Museum" (1959), "The Plague of the Zombies" (1966), "Apaches" (1977), and "Hellraiser" (1987). Diving into issues such as repression, class, sadism, and all other fun stuff that comes with the evolution of UK Horror. Chatting with Ethan was a real treat and I can't wait to have him back on!

This episode features an interview with David Stepanavicius from Atræ Bilis. Their latest album, “Aumicide” (20 Buck Spin), is a dazzling journey through the cerebral heights of "Spiritually Dissonant Death Metal". When David isn’t shredding riffs, he’s also slinging bootleg horror tees with his new venture, Fulci Rots. David and I chat about the state of death metal, writing with psychedelics, and Todd Solondz. Was a blast chatting with him, can’t wait to have him back on! Check it out!

This episode features an interview with Samm Deighan, a writer, film historian, podcaster, and special features content producer for Vinegar Syndrome. Samm's latest book, "Revolutions in 35mm", is a fascinating collection of essays from various writers all focusing on political violence and resistance in cinema. We chat about this passion project of hers, spending time specifically on the Japanese New Wave chapter that she wrote called "Cruel Stories of Youth". This is easily one of the most political and informative episodes so far, getting to chat with Samm Deighan was a real treat and an honour!

This episode features a friendly discussion on one of the most prolific and singular directors to ever come out of Japan: THEE SHINYA TSUKAMOTO! You may know and love him for his cyber-punk masterpiece, TETSUO: THE IRON MAN, but I've got my pal Jeremiah Rosario, a Florida-based filmmaker, to chat about 3 lesser known films by Tsukamoto: Gemini (1999), Haze (2005), and Nightmare Detective (2006). Listen to us obsessives pick apart the themes, the pros, the cons, and the Tsukamoto-isms. Check it out!

This episode features a chat with Kelly Gredner, a fellow podcaster and writer who's been a strong presence in the horror community with The Spinsters of Horror and Our Bloody Obsession (RIP). She's now embarking on her own series, Kelly's Taboo Terrors, where she'll be exploring controversial and transgressive films all with taboo themes. Naturally, I had to have Kelly on to pick her brain about this new series and why the heck she, like so many of us, are drawn to the extreme side of horror.

This sequel drenched episode contains a doozy of a chat with Seth Troyer, a filmmaker, musician, and fellow podcaster based out of Ohio. You may know him from co-hosting Unwatchables, but he’s recently dropped a hilarious experimental short film called “Vertigo 2” that is so meta and bonkers I couldn’t wait to chat with him about it once my head stopped spinning. We dive into all of the problems and miracles born out of creating sequels, the big/weird franchises, and still have enough braincells left for the mysterious career of Alan Smithee. Dive in for a fun brain-scrambling discussion!

WARNING: This episode contains discussions of disturbing and controversial subject matter, including violence and sexual assault.
Dakota Noot is an LA based visual artist who has recently become completely enthralled in the world of Pinku Eigas. These Japanese erotic/exploitation films are incredibly unique, disturbing, and in turn fascinating, so Dakota takes me through his deep dive into the genre as well as focusing on the Queen of Pink - Naomi Tani! This was an in-depth and exhilarating chat about some extremely WTF films. Prepare to hear about some shocking content but also get a notepad ready to jot down some of these wild titles.

WARNING: This episode contains discussions of disturbing and controversial subject matter, including violence and sexual assault.
This episode features a discussion of the underrated Japanese writer/director Takashi Ishii with returning guest Fred Barrett. Fred came on last season to discuss Hisayasu Sato after writing a phenomenal piece on Pink Films for the Big Ship. When I asked Fred to come back for another deep dive, he suggested we tackle Takashi Ishii, who is most well known for writing Evil Dead Trap, the Angel Guts series, and a handful of other seedy crime flicks that came out in the 90's. Who knew that once we looked under the hood of this provocative filmmaker, we'd find a ton of uncomfortable yet striking ideas. We discuss a lot of potentially triggering subject matter, specifically sexual assault, as it's a running theme in his films and with a perspective that may be hard to wrap your head around. So heads up for that! Despite the dark material discussed, it was great to reconnect with Fred and explore these films.

WARNING: This episode contains disturbing and graphic subject matter. If you're at all squeamish, please keep that in mind.
This episode features a lovely chat with Cory DeAn Cowley, the "Lady of Decay", a super talented actor, director, and FX artist whose most recent film "Trypophobic Possession" shocked me to my core with its intense body-horror textural hellscapes. Cory, however, is anything but a scary person and so we had quite the fun chat going through her metal music video origins, insane lengths to create extreme horror, growing up in Tennessee, and much much more. The chat was a blast and with the slate of films she's got coming out, I can't recommend this one enough!

Guy is back and this time he's joined by his podcasting co-host, Dave Jackson! Guy and Dave are two wild underground horror filmmakers that now both reside in Japan where they conduct their highly addictive podcast, Show Me Something Wrong. In this series, they explore films that they deem "wrong" - ya know, films that are provocative, baffling, controversial, or just completely WTF. Thanks to their meticulous research and friendly rapport, their exploration of each esoteric film is all the more entertaining. I just had to have them on to chat about how these films feed back into their own work and what exactly is up with Japanese p*rn??? This led to some very shocking stories about their adventures attending Pink cinemas. Heads up, this one gets pretty gnarly!https://podtail.com/podcast/show-me-something-wrong/https://allmylinks.com/smswhttps://www.instagram.com/showmesomethingwrong/

This episode features Amy Hensarling and Jetta Weinstein, two podcasting/film-writing buds who both made appearances on the first season. Once I heard the inaugural episode of Amy's new series, She Said/She Said, where Jetta came on to dissect a couple films, I just knew I needed both of them on to discuss a couple horror flicks. Jetta picked William Friedkin's "Bug" (2006") and Antonia Bird's "Ravenous" (1999) and off we went pulling apart the themes and subtext of these two powerful/singular films. Fun was had! Check it out!

WARNING: This episode contains some very disturbing and controversial subject matter. If you're at all squeamish or easily offended, please keep that in mind before listening.
This episode features one of the most intense and provocative discussions thus far as I interviewed Jonathan Doe along with Daniel Valient from the collective White Gardenia. Both artists operate within the extreme horror underground, each with their own prolific output of increasingly shocking work, so when Doe released a documentary on White Gardenia - "The Art of Self Harm" - that made me want to invite them both on and dig deeper into their unique worlds. Again, Proceed With Caution and keep in mind that while Daniel Valient's politics are quite brazen, they do not reflect the politics of Split Your Head or myself. However, this led to a very interesting chat and one that made me want to take a closer look at this devout Christian/Trump supporter who participates in self mutilation for their own art.

This episode features an incredibly inspiring chat with Montreal-based filmmaker Terry Chiu, whose latest feature film Open Doom Crescendo is one of the wildest, weirdest, and most epic movies I've ever seen! ODC is really an "Experience" so singular and bursting with creativity that you'd expect Terry to be swimming in avant-garde art. Instead, Chiu is a devoted fan of the Insidious films and loves superhero movies. It's a refreshing change of pace for me and led to us having loads of interesting conversations about making DIY art and why music might just be the most influential thing to exist. Check out the episode and watch Open Doom Crescendo asap!

This episode features a chat with Finlay Blake, the singer of Last Retch, a death metal band from Hamilton, ON who have just released a brand new EP called Ergotism on CDN Records. Finlay is one scary dude on stage, but the complete opposite of that when he's not making a warpath of guttural destruction with his gnarly vocals. We talk about the Salem witch trial influences of the new EP, all the ups and downs of getting a band off the ground, and our love for the various strains of death metal before diving into a full on chat about extreme horror! Was a treat to chat with the guy and I highly recommend you pick up the EP, it is a banger!

This episode I got to interview Zarrar Kahn whose debut feature, In Flames, has been unleashed in North American theatres as of April 12th. Kahn's film is a doozy of patriarchal oppression, supernatural malevolence, and seething angst, all set in Karachi, Pakistan where two women struggle with the loss of the family patriarch. It's a super impressive debut and gave us plenty to talk about, like wrangling fire stunts, shooting a film during the pandemic, and Kahn's refreshing attitude on genre cinema. We also just gush about our love for films that end "in flames" and so much more! Check out this episode & go see his film now!

This episode's special guest is Rob Jabbaz, a Canadian filmmaker who created my favourite film of 2022 - The Sadness! If you haven't watched it yet, what are you waiting for?? It's one of the most brutal and exhilarating takes on a "viral horror flick" where people are succumbing to a mysterious infection that turns them into sadistic psychopaths. We talk about how his film was received in Taiwan where it was made, his new comic book Black Urn, artistic processes, listening to metal, and the usual mind-boggling questionnaire that really got Rob cookin'.

Second episode of Season 2 and we've got the talented underground filmmaker, David Dawson. David's been carving out a unique style over the past few years, getting his friends together to shoot films that blend drama and horror together in an exciting way. His last film, "Flesh Games", took a Jackass-style mock-doc from goofy hijinx to nightmare cinema. A bit of genre-hopping sculpted to get the senses buzzing, if ya catch my drift. So naturally, David and I spent half the time talking about hardcore punk shows, haha. Don't worry there's plenty here about his films because they truly rule and he's an exciting director to keep tabs on. Either way, fun chat, fun guy, check it out!If you're in the Toronto area, his last film "Flesh Games" will be playing at Eyesore Cinema as part of Terrible Fest on Saturday March 23rd. https://terribletoonietuesday.tumblr.com/https://www.youtube.com/@UCQ5slhAiRq5uyaa-SEZhGqw https://linktr.ee/daviddawsonhttps://srscinemastore.com/products/flesh-games-blu-rayhttps://www.instagram.com/brobocop77/

The first episode of Season 2 is actually the last episode of Season 1! Yes, this particular recording was Frankenstein-ed together after numerous technical difficulties led to failed attempt after failed attempt - but we persevered because 1) THIS GUEST IS STEPHEN F**KIN' GRISCHUK, and 2) Stephen friggin' Grischuk! If you don't know him yet, you will know him soon, an indie horror filmmaker bursting with charm and zany FX. His films are barrels of fun, complete with gnarly gore and wily creatures, but you can always feel like as soon as the take ended, Grischuk and his crew burst into laughter because of how much fun they were having. I'm a big fan of his work and him as a person (he rules). So please, check this out and check out his films and thanks for hopping back. Season 2 is going to be blast!https://www.boxcreepfilms.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6fcbQC3OGwyiwTfP9W-qQAhttps://www.instagram.com/boxcreepfilms/
