In this, our series final, and second episode of our David Lynch double bill; Alex and Dom discuss David Lynch's work from Wild At Heart all the way up to Twin Peaks: The Return. They also reflect on the season and give their summation of Lynch as one of the most important filmmakers of all time. Thanks for listening to series 2 folks, I hope you all enjoyed it!

In the first Extreme Cinema Podcast two-parter, Alex and Dom discuss the work of one of their favourite directors, the master of surrealism himself, David Lynch. In this first part, they discuss Lynch's place in the popular culture, while talking about his films: Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, and the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. Strap in folks, this is a good one!

If you thought last week's episode was off the rails wait till you hear this week's! Today Dom and Alex take a look at the 1971 fundamentalist Christian propaganda-goresploitation shlock movie If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? Discussing it's idiosyncratic director Ron Ormond, how the concerns of the far right then are still present in their circles today, and generally just lose our minds at all the mental things that happen in this film. This is definitely not an episode to miss!

This week Alex and Dom look at probably the most obscure and possibly the most insane film we've talked about so far, Devil Story!!!! Not gonna lie, this week we just lose our minds over this. I mean I've never seen anything like this, we spend like half the show trying to decipher what on earth actually happens in this film. This'll be a classic episode!!!!

On the first episode back for The Extreme Cinema Podcast, Alex and Dom talk about Alejandro Jodorowsky's acid western El Topo. Discussing its status as a cult classic, it's themes and politics, and about its director, arthouse cinema legend Alejandro Jodorowsky.

We're shaking things up for this mid-season finale. Instead of just talking about one film, we're talking about a whole movement. In the first special episode for The Extreme Cinema Podcast, Alex and Dom talk about the French New Extremity Movement, the origin of the term, notable films and what became of the filmmakers most associated with the movement, such as Gaspa Noé and Claire Denis.
