  • Excellent extreme cinema podcast

    Been listening to John and Matt since the beginning of their run and it’s one of my favorite casts of all time. They explore some of the more subversive, sleazy and underground areas of the genre, but even if you have no plans to see the films, it’s fun to hang out with them for a few hours a few times month.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hisayasu Sato 3 with Split Your Head Podcast
Q: How do restorations like Vinegar Syndrome box sets affect the reception of Sato's films?
Restorations bring sharper visuals and more reliable transfers, which reveal details that heighten appreciation for Sato's craft, while also re-igniting conversations about consent, censorship, and the ethics of distributing extremely explicit material in contemporary markets.
Hisayasu Sato 3 with Split Your Head Podcast
Q: What makes Hisayasu Sato's work a good entry point for new viewers today?
Viewers often respond to Muscle as a gateway because it signals Sato's energetic, punk-infused approach and then invites them to explore his broader pink film catalog with an understanding of how sexuality and violence are used to probe power dynamics and social taboos.
Mild Symptoms 27: Jesse R. Slade on Tape Face_mixdown

Mild Symptoms 27: Jesse R. Slade on Tape Face_mixdown
Q: Where did the idea for Tape Face come from, and how much of that is autobiographical?

Q: So just to get a little background, like what kind of got you into wanting to make movies and act and things of that nature?
