    Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Andrew Law (of Boonta Vista) discuss virtual reality sci-fi horror/crime-thrillers with a double feature of Kathryn Bigelow's cyberpunk tech-horror apocalypse meets voyeuristic, conspiratorial L.A. noir STRANGE DAYS (1995) and Tarsem Singh's gruesome serial-killer-of-the-week procedural meets therapeutic dream-sharing surrealism THE CELL (2000).

    323 - THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK (1972) + WENDIGO (2001) ft. Esther Rosenfield

    Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Esther Rosenfield (of Get Cynical and The Lost Broadcasts) discuss lo-fi independent horror films about folkloric forest beasts with a double feature of Charles B. Pierce's spooky regional faux-documentary about the Arkansas bigfoot THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK (1972) and minimalist indie-horror legend Larry Fessenden's unnerving mix of emotionally cogent family drama and hallucinatory cannibal cryptid B-horror fable WENDIGO (2001).

Keep it sleazy

SLEAZOIDS is one of the only cool movie podcasts. Josh is the brains and Jamie is the heart, giving us their weekly thoughts on genre flicks from a hyper intellectual and a primal emotional perspective. Josh always delivers on these really granular insights into film photography and visual storytelling techniques great directors employ, noting the way that they’re able to manipulate our eyes. Even the nastiest, grimiest zero-budget fare is plumbed for that hint of genius you can find just about anywhere if you really look. Every single episode Jamie has an idea about the way that sound and music is used in a film that blows me away. It’s film shows like this one that really prove that craftspeople work their asses off making movies, and that means there’s almost always something valuable to be found in a movie, even if it’s deemed “disreputable” by prudish critics.

The guests range from soft spoken film critics and academics to delightfully unhinged horror superfans.

SLEAZOIDS is the type of pod that makes you wish you had more friends to talk about movies like this. Great stuff from two good old Ontarya boys.

Vastly entertaining
