Visit the world of City Lights Home Video with 1987's Epitaph! Poor Amy has to manage a few more problems than an ordinary teenager: a serial-killer mother with an alcohol problem, a missing father, a hapless granny, a new boyfriend, an undercover psychiatrist infiltrating her family, and a murderous painter intent on revenge! 

This time we revisit the work of Jack Hill with our first foray into fantasy - 1982's Sorceress! When a Merlin like figure rescues twin babies from sacrifice by an evil sorcerer, he sets in chain a cosmic series of events. The twins grow up, gain magical powers, and lead a ragtag team to try and conquer the bad guys. Somehow two sky gods show up, but no sorceress. This one's an absolute mess, but it's also a blast. Enjoy!

Poor Terry. His rapes and murders are misunderstood. Only his overbearing, obsessive mother seems to be on his side. Fresh out of prison, he seeks revenge on those who helped put him there. 

While on hiatus, we recorded a series of conversations that were never published. Now that life has calmed down, we plan to edit these conversations for release as VINTAGE episodes, outside of our normal programming.
In this episode, we explore the uncharted New Mexico desert, home to many hills with many eyes. This early Wes Craven flick is clearly inspired by the success of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Craven's own Last House on the Left. The titular eyes belong to a family that lives primitively, practicing cannibalism and communicating via walkie-talkies. Watch as a "normal American family" grows increasingly desperate in their fight to survive. Trigger warning: there's a burning, cactus crucifixion. Just in case that's at the root of your trauma.

On this episode, we cover 1984's White Fire, a story of diamond heists, martial arts, mob killings, twincest, and stolen identity. Boris and his twin sister Ingrid work for a diamond mine, but are secretly smuggling diamonds for their adopted father. When Ingrid is murdered, Boris and his love interest plan to steal the mythical White Fire - a huge radioactive diamond capable of burning off faces. Their plan involves a mystical commune of women led by a plastic surgeon.

in this episode we discuss the sensitive story of five Italian teenagers on a boat in Miami. Unfortunately, in 1994's Plankton, this boat houses a research laboratory stocked with mutant fish. Also known as Creatures from the Abyss, this is a film you have to see to believe. Where else can you see interspecies romance and reproduction bridging land and sea?
