#NewEpisode

Extended editions. Extended opinions. We revisit The Lord of the Rings and lovingly argue about endless endings, wobbly CGI, botched Witch-kings, and why Fellowship still wipes the floor with Return of the King. 🎄⚔️

Prometheus (2012)
Dir. Ridley Scott

A crew of "brilliant" scientists travel across the stars to meet humanity’s creators, immediately prove they’re catastrophically bad at their jobs, and get wiped out by black goo, bad decisions, and an android who absolutely read the manual.

Hatchet for the Honeymoon (1970)
Dir. Mario Bava

Five Dolls for an August Moon (1970)
Dir. Mario Bava

Bava turns a giallo whodunit into a sun-drenched exercise in chic nihilism brimming with poison, paranoia, and bikinis, where brains are optional and murder is the main agenda.

Kill, Baby... Kill! (1966)
Dir. Mario Bava

A skeptical doctor and an uneasy inspector investigate a village terrorized by a vengeful ghost child, uncovering superstition, guilt, and a curse that punishes disbelief with sudden death.

The Whip and the Body (1963)
Dir. Mario Bava

In a fog-soddened castle full of secrets and sadomasochistic tension, a cruel aristocrat returns from the dead to torment the woman who loves and fears him. Guess who Christopher Lee plays 🤔

The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963)
Dir. Mario Bava

Bava's proto-giallo in which a wide-eyed American tourist in Rome appears to witness a murder mixes mystery, paranoia, and shadowy goings-on into a witty, black-and-white dress rehearsal for Italian thrillers to come.

Black Sunday (1960)
Dir. Mario Bava

Bava kicks off Italian gothic horror by ressurecting a centuries-dead witch with a spiked iron mask and a serious grudge, unleashing a hypnotic nightmare of fog, torture, and doomed beauty. The colour pallete might be missing, but the mood is unmistakable.

Black Sabbath (1963)
Dir. Mario Bava

Three gorgeously creepy tales unfold like a haunted pop-up book, with Bava turning shadows, candles, and velvet curtains into weapons of pure dread, proving you don’t need monsters when your lighting is this evil.

Planet of the Vampires (1965)
Dir. Mario Bava

Oozing with Bava-ish visual style and atmosphere, two crews land on a spooky colour-soaked planet where the locals hijack corpses, turning space exploration into a gothic séance with ray guns & fog machines.

Blood and Black Lace (1964)
Dir. Mario Bava

A parade of impeccably dressed models wander into exquisitely lit doom as a faceless killer treats the fashion world like a runway for murder, all amidst a velvet-soaked ballet of colour. Masterful.

Trading Places (1983)

A pair of fossilized billionaires play God with human lives for fun, swapping a Wall Street snob and a street hustler just to see what breaks first. Turns out it’s dignity, social class, and the global orange juice market.

The Lost Room (2006)

Who remembers this absolutely cracking Syfy Channel miniseries? Supernatural objects, weird cults, a missing child, a desperate father, and a magical key. Great stuff.

A haunted industrial laundry press starts eating employees, forcing a frazzled cop and an occult-enthusiast ice-cream man to confront pure evil… in the form of workplace health & safety violations.

Heat (1995)

An obsessive LA cop & a perfectionist master thief 'fall in love', leading to the world’s most intense coffee date. Meanwhile, a crew of criminals tries to retire via a slightly excessive bank withdrawal that turns into a shooting range at rush hour.

Mute Witness (1995)

A plucky mute makeup artist stumbles onto an apparent snuff film set before scarpering through the streets of Moscow, outwitting crooks, killers, and bureaucracy with nothing but sheer panic and impeccable timing. It’s Hitchcock by way of Benny Hill, only with more scalpels.
