Be warned this family friendlier cut keeps the additional Patreon entries, one of which features gory content I'd usually censor (there isn't really any way to do that on this occasion). If you are watching with kids, or gore just isn't your thing, I'd consider the YouTube cut....

New episode of the Patreon podcast with Andy Last, and this time we're talking about R.O.T.O.R.
This is one of my favourite 1980s genre movies of any kind: the movie The Terminator could have been; and that RoboCop wishes it was. I can't recommend it enough.
Thanks as always to host Andy Last. He does the production on these and ...

The concluding part of the Maxploitation (very) deep dive. I'm sorry this has taken so long, thank you for your patience. I can't let a project get this out of control again as it's too much time between videos!
FYI this is the uncut/uncensored version, and things do get fairly strong. There's a family friendlier version coming shortly. 2025-09-30 12:13:57 +0000 UTC View Post
I want to share some older podcast appearances without swamping my feed, so I've gathered the ones I can remember doing into this post!

2025-07-22 11:06:52 +0000 UTC View PostLet's say, just for example, that the latest Borrowing Blockbusters is currently clocking in at around two hours in length: would you rather see it as one very long episode, or two quite long ones? Or does it make no difference?

I just checked out the start and it made me fold into a mortified husk, so I can't bear to watch any more. There was a last minute kerfuffle with some confusion and tech issues, but I can't blame anyone other than myself. To be honest I'd like to bury it, but I said I'd post it so here it is. Going to run and hide now.

I know the 'Best Worst' videos are a little lightweight, but I'm able to produce them far more quickly than the deep dives, and they allow an opportunity to focus on really specific subjects.
Between the Mad Max and Brucesploitation Borrowing Blockbusters I'm going to do one on funniest death scenes, so any suggestions are more than welco...

So Mad Max is next, and Brucesploitation after that. Both are monsters, so I'll probably follow them up with something smaller before tacklin...

Everything seemed to go ok at the film festival. I was only marginally embarrassing with Gale Anne Hurd, and the 'Jawsploitation Live' thing seemed to go well. Not sure I was very good, but the audience were laughing so I won't complain. I believe it was video'd, so it will appear here on my Patreon hopefully some time this week.

Just a short thing. I'm still working on the Mad Max Borrowing Blockbusters, which (needless to say) is going to be pretty long!
I knew I'd have to take a break before launching into the final edit, and that's what this video's for.

I recently appeared on the Movie Oubliette podcast to talk about Toby Hooper's space vampire fiesta Lifeforce, which was more interesting but no less flawed than I remembered. I'm a big fan of this show. The idea is to watch and discuss a movie that bombed, and then decide whether it should be released from the cultural oubliette (which Google t...

I see there's some trouble with buffering. This is an alternative link to the same video hosted on a different YT channel. FYI this is not 'adult restricted' (wondering if that's something to do with the buffering somehow...?) so it will probably get removed at some point. Hopefully by then whatever is causing the buffering will be resolved.

I see a few people are having buffering issues. I'm not an expert, but the video is hosted on YouTube, so if you haven't cut out Patreon and tried watching there, maybe give it a go. I will re-up a new version today addressing the usual little issues, so I hope that will fix whatever this buffering problem is.
I just wanted to say happy new year, and thank you once again for your support in 2024. I'll never get over the fact there are people willing to share some of their hard earned in order to make it possible for me to do this. I literally wouldn't be able without you.
