Phase Thirteen of...THE HONEYWELL EXPERIMENT!

It’s the summer....temperatures are rising, and people are wearing less.  So to celebrate the hot, hot nature of the season, I sent my lab monkey Chris Honeywell to the Roman Times and The Arena, the 1974 sword-and-sandals epic about gladitorial combat....only with Pam Grier and Margaret Markov and lots and lots of breasts!  Join us in the OcaDecaGonaGon as we discuss this film’s....questionable approach to historical accuracy, the strange ‘comedy’ beats and, of course, the greatness that is one of the true Queens of The Grindhouse!

Meanwhile, Over At Dread Media....#669

Be ready for sexy times this week, as Des and Darryll go for a swim in 2016‘s Harvest Lake and Des gives us a Top Five Erotic Horror Movies!

The trailer is below, as is a discussion of horror films that are basically porn, some porn set horror stories, some true erotic horror stories, and music from Grenouer and Crystal Lake (because it’s my birthday, and nothing makes me laugh more than a screamo cover of a butt-rock....classic?)

Meanwhile, Over At Dread Media....#667

Like Great Movies?  Then you might want to skip this episode as we explore two distinctly...Awful, Terrible, Just Plain Bad Movies.  First up, Des and I try our best to unpack the feature directing debut of one Glenn Danzig, the portmanteau (?) Verotika.  Then I stick around to expand on one of the statements I made in that review with a discussion of Joel M. Reed’s notorious Bloodsucking Freaks!

The trailers are below (I am pretty positive that’s Lloyd Kaufman himself doing the overdub on the Bloodsucking Freaks trailer), as are a discussion of heavy metal comics, a video essay on the Grand Guignol Theater, some classic Glenn Danzig, and Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space covering Falco (no, honest!)
