  • 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. If there had to be any feedback I’d say I think it’s ok to walk through the plot a bit deeper and spoil the films- I don’t this anyone will mind. I’ll continue listening as long as they ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jim Van Bebber
Q: What are your opinions on Sony ending physical disc productions for the PlayStation in 2028?
There's concern about losing ownership of digital copies and the broader shift away from physical media, but the discussion also notes niche preservation efforts and the value of physical editions for collectors.
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
Q: How hard was it to shoot the finale concert while choreographing all the kills and effects?
He confirms it was very challenging, detailing coordination with performers, special guests, and the logistics of on-location shoots to capture the performance dynamics.
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?
He describes Tape Face as largely drawn from real experiences working in a record store, with a strong autobiographical component and dialogue that mirrors his own observations and interactions.
