Filmed Obscura

Justin Adkins & Chris Herdter

Horror and thriller fans gather around. We invite you to listen as we watch two obscure horror/thriller movies a month and then BLOW YOUR MIND with our thoughts, opinions and insight on the films. Sometimes thought-provoking and informative but mostly ludicrous and fun, Filmed Obscura is your gateway into rare, obscure, hard to find and just plain awesome films (except one-you'll see). We also drink local beer. Thanks for listening. Hosted by Justin Adkins and Chris Herdter.

    Ep. 67: Orozco: The Embalmer (with Evan Przebowski)

    Happy almost Summer friends.  Chris and Justin are back for Chris' final pick on the tougher to watch season of Filmed Obscura.  He brought a very frank and "pull no punches" documentary about Columbia's infamous embalmer...what I mean is Orozco: The Embalmer.  Oh it's direct, in your face, and effective.  The boys were torn on the outcome of the film, but it's effective an disturbing nonetheless.  Watch with caution!  And bring brews...

    Hey everybody!  Filmed Obscura coming back at ya with another special episode.  Coming hot off of their top 5 watches of 2025, Justin and Chris are back to highlight their top 5 new obscure films.  There are many gems in this list and they urge you to check out some of these titles.  Good watches ahead with a nice balance of thrills, sleaze and provocative content...at least they thought so.  Enjoy and cheers!

    Ep. 66: Phil Steven's Lung (with Andrew Puglisi)

    Hello all and welcome back to Filmed Obscura!  Chris and Justin are working to wrap up the Tougher to Watch season of the podcast, and this go-round is Justin's pick.  He tapped into the Unearthed Film's library and found the follow-up/pseudo sequel to a prior film they tackled called Flowers.  That film is Phil Steven's Lung (or Lung 2).  Joining the boys is the one and only Andrew Puglisi, who brought some well-thought out insights into the film and a legendary beverage.  Please enjoy and cheers!

    Ep. 65.5: Top 5 Watches of 2025

    The boys are back at the tail end of January with a special episode of Filmed Obscura.  It's not the Lung episode unfortunately, as some crappy illness poked its ugly head into their business.  But Justin and Chris went old school and did a virtual episode just like the old days.  They tackled their Top 5 Watches of 2025.  It's a worthy addition to the new season.  Please enjoy with a Tall Boy or Northport whiskey.

    Ep. 65: Women's Flesh My Red Guts

    Happy Holidays and New Years fellow listeners.  The boys hope you had a great 2025 and wish you a marvelous 2026.  To start things off with a bang, Chris brought a disgusting Japanese gore film that is sure to push your buttons.  Which film you say, why it's Women's Flesh My Red Guts.  While it may not be Tumbling Dolls of Flesh (which he proposed as well), it was equally disgusting in many ways.  Listening to this podcast is fine, but watching the movie may not be.  View at your own risk...with alcohol!

    Ep. 64: Playground

    Happy late November, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the upcoming Christmas season.  The boys are back for another episode of difficult content.  This month, Justin brought a Belgium film about bullying that really hits home with parents.  So much so...that he's already looking in to signing Lily up for martial arts.  That film is Playground.  It's a direct, visually captivating piece of storytelling with a focus.  It's also a great companion piece with another film that Filmed Obscura tackled (A Better Place), and should be on everybody's radar.  Cheers to all and Happy Holidays!

    Ep. 63: The Bridge

    Happy Fall Folks!  The boys are back with Chris' pick for the new season.  Trigger warning...this episode discusses a film about suicide with real depictions of the events.  It is the definition of difficult cinema.  That film is Eric Steel's The Bridge.  It's the first documentary to be tackled on Filmed Obscura, and boy does it deliver on the goods.  It's unexpected, shocking and poignant.  Please enjoy with caution and understanding.
