    IFWT #115 - Symptoms (1974)

    IFWT is finally diving into the world of Spanish cult filmmaker Jose Ramon Larraz. 1974 was an important one for the filmmaker, releasing two seminal horror movies, Vampyres, and the psych-horror slow burn Symptoms, starring daughter of horror icon Donald Pleasence, Angele Pleasence. And it is Symptoms we'll be giving the deep dive, but with two films sharing many similarities, we'll be sure to talk about Vampyres, too.

    IFWT #114 - Following (1998)

    Before he had multimillion dollar budgets, before he had IMAX cameras, before he had some of the biggest names in Hollywood beating down his door, Christopher Nolan was just a plucky young student who dreamed of being a director. So in 1998 he gathered a bunch of friends, scraped a few thousand quid together and made Following, a neo-noir crime thriller that announced him as a talent to watch out for.We’ll be giving our thoughts on Nolan’s career as a whole, his merits as a filmmaker as well as diving into Following’s story, its non-linear timeline, its cast of characters, and the themes it explores

    IFWT #113 - The Zodiac Killer (1971)

    Yes, yes. David Fincher's film Zodiac may be the definitive film covering the Zodiac killer, but what it cannot boast is the title of the only film made with the sole intention of capturing an active serial killer, which Tom Hanson's 1971 thriller The Zodiac Killer can.

    IFWT #112 - Psycho Sex Dolls (2025) [ft. dir David Wilde]

    In October 2023 we invited Scottish indie filmmaker David Wilde on to the show to talk about his influences, his background in film and, most tantalisingly, the next project he was working on. On this week’s episode, we’re talking about that very film: Psycho Sex Dolls. We’ll ask David all manner of questions regarding the films plot, its characters, themes and all the fascinating background information on both the production itself and the Kickstarter campaign that made it possible. Ready to get your freak on? Then what are you waiting for!?

    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.
