Whether it's comparing two films with some sort of tenuous connection on our double feature format episodes Twin Picks, diving deep into the the history of the genre with Midnight Marathons, or watching in awe/terror/confusion/annoyance at the biggest pieces of shit ever made in The Slop Bucket, there’s no film these creatures of the night aren’t ready to welcome into the family.

    THE DIRTIES feat. Parker & Flynn from Collective of Underground Movie Lovers !!

    it’s a film nerd coming-of-RAGE - and dear friends of the pod Parker and Flynn are here ta dish the dirt !! Pls welcome back the Underground Film Collective (Parker Constantine and Flynn Boffo), who have travelled ALL the way from Sydney to creep inside the studio and talk THE DIRTIES - Canadian indie maverick Matt Johnson’s directorial debut. Balancing big edgelord laughs and profound empathy for its characters, this (very) dark comedy sees Johnson and Owen Williams playing bullied teens whose fantasies of revenge spiral into sinister action. If (like us) u just got into NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE ETC, or loved Johnson’s BLACKBERRY and OPERATION AVALANCHE, this emo cinephile high school diary will rattle n impress you. AND it’s just been released in a nifty Umbrella box-set with brilliant essays from Flynn and dear pod pal Ivana Brehas!!! We r all mad about Matt and keen to break down those tantalising, sometimes wafer-thin barriers the filmmaker sets between his IRL self and his striving film bro characters. listen up to hear us tryin to keep up with the Johnson(s)!!!

    Twin Picks: FROGS x SLUGS

    It’s about that time…the time…for SLIME… Comparing two swampy creature features, Noah and Eliza wonder if there are some animals that simply are not scary enough to power a horror movie. Juan Piquer Simon’s 1988 movie SLUGS sics millions of black, writhing, gooey gastropods on a small town of hilariously hateful and rude characters, resulting in some gnarly SFX moments and sexual subtext. But 1972’s FROGS doesn’t have nearly enough critters!! It’s got Sam Elliott and an interesting bayou mansion setting, but not enough actual webbed-hands-around-throats action :( Which film is the scariest and the squishiest? Do these movies actually make us care more about the environment or just wanna stomp it to death? How did Noah overcome his childhood leech fear ? All good questions but u won’t get answers today, we’re talking about other frog and slug stuff you couldn’t possibly comprehend. U can listen in and try though. ribbit. SHOW NOTES: TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC: Noah’s critter movie recommendations: The Bay , Long Weekend, Tremors Eliza’s assorted shrieking frog memes (sorry I could not find the actual amazing clip in question of one chill frog and one loser frog battling one another maybe it was a dream who knows): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM-GEnvlkRM + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaLTeyPFP_0&list=PLxCZu_T6u7IYWUsagWNHr7kWGe8O9kFrf&index=378 + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV5o1E8NPMQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV5o1E8NPMQ)VISIT-OUR-WEBSITE = midnightscreeningproductions.com Become ONE_OF_US here on Patreon INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK LETTERBOXD midnightscreeningproductions@gmail.com Sound: Anthony Carr Art: Kazuki Komatsu NEXT EPISODE = Midnight Marathon: BRIGHT FUTURE x RETRIBUTION // Kiyoshi Kurosawa Part 3
