NastyPALs 14: Island of Death

Stephen and Adam have a rough time discussing a terrible film. Seriously, don't watch this film. However, do listen to a podcast about it! https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/14-island-of-death

Joker (Review)

There's a central scene in Joker of a protest. A violent, dimly lit and unglorified protest. The uniform of protest is the clown mask, because a man dressed as a clown shot dead three Wall Street workers in public and this has led a, perceived, underclass to take to the streets. Because, in this film, … Continue reading Joker (Review) →

Ad Astra (Review)

Ad Astra is a film that really lives up to its name. The translated meaning, 'To the Stars,' reflects the film's admirable ambition, while the use of Latin reflects its self seriousness and, dare I say, self indulgence. Big budget, idea focused science fiction is inherently ambitious, regardless of quality. In this regard, At Astra … Continue reading Ad Astra (Review) →

NastyPALs Episode 13: Blood Feast

In episode 13, Stephen and Adam go on a pilgrimage, of sorts, to view the first ever gore movie: Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast. Is it good? No. Is it interesting? Most certainly! Now join us as we continue to chant: E-tar, E-tar, E-tar... ISHTAR! https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/13-blood-feast

The Souvenir (Review)

With only four films under her belt, Joanna Hogg has already established herself as a unique and important voice in British cinema. Following her promising debut, Unrelated, Hogg's work has only got stronger with each release and, with the Souvenir, she has completed her first (and hopefully not last) masterpiece. Despite its conventional appearance - … Continue reading The Souvenir (Review) →

NastyPALs Episode 11: Don’t Go in the Woods… Alone!

Stephen and Adam take the deepest academic dive anybody has probably ever taken into the piece of trash that is 'Don't Go in the Woods... Alone!' Don't watch it and avoid those woods - unless you bring a friend, I guess. https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/11-dont-go-in-the-woods-alone

NastyPALs Episode 10: The Last House on the Left

A supposed classic. A famously controversial movie banned for years and censored in the UK until the early 21st century. So, does it hold up? Is it still shocking? Join us, with a special guest, as we dissect Wes Craven's debut feature and explore its impact and legacy. https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/10-the-last-house-on-the-left

NastyPALs Episode 9: The Revenge of the Boogeyman

After being amused by the Boogeyman, Adam and Stephen check out its sequel. Well, this film that claims to be this sequel. Well, this thing that claims to be a film that I guess is a sequel. This is a strange movie.If you wish your sequels were ninety percent flashback sequences directly lifted from the previous … Continue reading NastyPALs Episode 9: The Revenge of the Boogeyman →

NastyPALs Episode 8: The Boogeyman

We're back, for our 8th episode in which we unpick The Boogeyman. Which, it turns out, is delightful. Listen to us drive trucks through plot holes and generally get giddy about our ludicrous enjoyment of this, really rather terrible, film. https://soundcloud.com/user-782108692/8-the-boogeyman
