Episode 58: Lone Star (1996)

Oh Mama, we're serving up an extra-sleazy slice of cinema this week: Burial Ground, the Nights of Terror! It's a zombie invasion, done Italian style, as the moldy, maggot-covered dead arise and feast on the brains of our hapless cast of characters (including a young weirdo with an Oedipus Complex). Blood, guts, zombies, and a dash of incest make up this cinematic stew in this week's episode of Videodrome Cinema!

Episode 57: Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (1981)

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K as we rejoin Bill and Ted, a pair of good-natured goofball metal-heads, on their adventures through time. This time around, the duo (with a little help from their slacker daughters) must write the perfect song that will save all of reality. A music-driven comedy featuring a strong nostalgia factor for fans of the original films, but how does it hold up after 20+ years? Find out this week on Videodrome Cinema!

Episode 56: Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)

This week, we dive into the seedy neon-blue world of Ken Russell's "Crimes of Passion". Part satire, part sexploitation sleaze-fest, this story of a professional woman moonlighting as a hooker by night explores the terrain of human sexuality, the fear of intimacy, and the fear of being stabbed by a crazy street preacher with a Razor-Dildo. Check it out!

Episode 55: Crimes of Passion (1984)

Sexual obsession and ruthless ambition make a deadly cocktail in this week’s film, “To Die For”. Nicole Kidman has dreams of big-network TV glory. When her husband gets in the way of her plans, he’s got to go. Using sexual manipulation, this blonde pied piper lures a troupe of misfit teens into a sordid murder plot. Join us and our special guest, Mike Galloway, on our look at this darkly comedic true-crime tell-all by celebrated director, Gus Van Sant.Apologies for the poor sound quality of this episode. We had some internet recording technical difficulties.

Episode 54: To Die For (1995)

It’s the end of the world this week on Videodrome Cinema Podcast, as we take a look at 1991’s bizarre and polarizing “The Rapture”: an exploration of the Christian conception of the Apocalypse and one inveterate sinner’s struggle to adopt and maintain faith in the face of Earthly horrors and a silent God.Is it a hokey bible-thumping faith picture or a scathing indictment of religion? You decide!

Episode 53: The Rapture (1991)

Step into the ethereal world of the mythological Old American West, as we look at the strange and morbid relationship between legendary outlaw Jesse James and his future assassin, Bob Ford. A story of deranged celebrity worship and murder told in the gilded style of ancient Greek tragedy.

Episode 52: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

The stakes are high and the blood runs thick on this week’s vampiric episode of Videodrome Cinema. We’re taking a look at George A. Romero’s under-seen horror cult-classic, Martin (1978). This tale follows a troubled youth (who may or may not be a vampire) and the clash of wills between him and his fanatically religious uncle. It’s the old-world vs the new, in this revisionist vampire take, where there is no magic, no fangs...only a boy with a pocketful of razor-blades and a taste for human blood.
