    IFWT #111 - Excalibur(1981) [ft. Cesare of The Rad Revival House]

    We're dipping our toes into our very first dive into the world of sword and sorcery, as we take on John Boorman's 1981 classic Excalibur - a favourite of our guest, Cesare Augusto, of the terrific film podcast The Rad Revival House.

    IFWT #110 - The Black Dahlia (2006) [ft. James Ellroy biographer Steven Powell]

    Over the last few months, we’ve had author and James Ellory biographer Steven Powell on the show to discuss both the man himself, and the cinematic adaptations of his work. We’ve talked about Cop & L.A. Confidential, but today we’re getting to possibly the most divisive film born from Ellroy’s work: The Black Dahlia. Based on the infamous murder mystery from 1947, the film failed to find an audience when it was released in 2006, despite the big names both in front of and behind the camera, and effectively ended De Palma’s studio funded movie career. We’ll discuss the film’s time period, its cast of characters, the infamous Elizabeth Short murder and of course, the James Ellroy novel on which the film is based.

    IFWT #109 - 10 To Midnight (1983)

    We're back for another year at IFWT! And for our inaugural episode of the year, we're diving into the Charles Bronson sleaze-fest for Cannon, 10 to Midnight. Ebert may have called this film 'garbage', but is it so bad? Is it reactionary? These are questions that are raised in this appropriately fun episode that deals with a film that has maybe the most ludicrously insane 'jack-off' machine. This episode contains contributions from the following people: Gringo Fantastico( @realfantastico on X) Shane Templeton (@wshane23 on X) The Bad Movie Cult podcast (@BadMovieCult on X) @Peteypops82.bsky.social

    IFWT #108 - Christmas Evil (1980) [ft. Bonkers Ass Cinema, Flixology 101 & Scott West]

    And so we come to the end of 2024, and in the spirit of the holiday season we’re getting some good friends together, cracking open a few delicious drinks and breaking down a cult classic. Christmas Evil may live in the shadow of its more notorious younger cousin Silent Night Deadly Night, lacking its controversy or increasingly ridiculous follow ups, but we’re out to prove that it’s a film that’s more than worth a viewing this December. Complex characters, interesting themes and a wealth of behind the scene stories make it perfect for a festive In Film We Trust deep dive. So chuck a few logs on the fire, pour yourself an eggnog and join us in welcoming our good buddies Phil DeGlass, Matt Rotman and Scott West onto the show to round out the year. Merry Christmas everyone.

    IFWT #107 - L.A. Confidential (1997) [ft. James Ellroy Biographer Steven Powell]

    We've arrived at the penultimate film in our James Ellroy adaptation series. And luckily for us, we're joined by author of Love Me Fierce In Danger: The Life of James Ellroy, Steven Powell, as we take on Curtis Hanson's 1997 masterpiece(?) LA Confidential - a film that many believe that have been robbed of the Best Picture Oscar by James Cameron's disastrous romance behemoth Titanic.

    IFWT#106 - Aspen Extreme(1993) [ft dir. Patrick Hasburgh and Flixology101]

    For this episode, we’re bringing on filmmaker Patrick Hasburgh to discuss the little known but highly regarded 90s ski flick Aspen Extreme. It’s name might not mean much to you, but to the citizens of Colorado it’s a beloved icon and, for each successive generation, a rite of passage. Centering on the friendship between T.J. and Dexter, 2 Michigan locals who leave behind their dull jobs to become ski instructors in Aspen, Colorado, where the bond that holds them together will be tested like never before. We’ll talk to Patrick about not only the film itself, but also the strangulations of the studio system, his TV work, which includes the hit show 21 Jump Street, and the wonders and frustrations of writing. But because 1 guest simply isn’t enough, we’re also bringing back our good pal Phil from Flixology101, a diehard Aspen Extreme fan, to share his experiences with the film. So don your thick coats, grab something colourful from the bar, and let’s get this party started.

    IFWT #105 - The McPherson Tape/Alien Abduction [ft. dir. Dean Alioto]

    It's not often we get to sit down and discuss cinema with a person who created an entire genre - the found footage horror film! But here we are joined by the director of The McPherson Tape, Dean Alioto. Dean takes us through the completely insane life that the film took on, including rumours that Dean himself was a government operative, and that The McPherson Tape(then UFO Abduction) was real life footage of a UFO encounter! Yeah, this episode goes that crazy. so buckle in, space folks, this is a fun one!

    IFWT #104 - Cop (1988) [ft. James Ellroy biographer Steven Powell]

    We’ve always loved diving headfirst into the world of seediness, crime and social degradation on this podcast, and this week is no different. We’re taking a look at the world of James Ellroy, the Demon Dog of American Crime fiction. In particular, the adaptation of his novel Blood On The Moon, Cop. Lloyd Hopkins is, say it with me now, a hardboiled, no nonsense detective that’s not afraid to bend the rules. Not only are we dissecting the movie, as is our custom, we’re also speaking with an expert on all things Ellory, Steven Powell, author of Love Me Fierce In Danger, the first biography of this titan of the literary world. So light up a cigarette, grab a cup of coffee and lets get down to business.
