Mike and Tara deliver a wide-ranging deep dive into cult film, transgressive video, and adult cinema. The format—a different film gets discussed every week, every few weeks they interview a pivotal figure of the filmmaking underground. Fans of boutique labels, SOV, and golden age porn take note. Great jokes, unique perspectives, sick movies.
I like a lot of cult film podcasts, but this has quickly become one of my favorites. The main reason? The hosts. They have such a great chemistry and a clear love for the films they talk about. Plus, I discovered HONK! magazine because of them, and it’s my absolute favorite thing ever 🤘

the best there is. hooked already and eager for more!
