    Split Your Head - Season 4 - Episode 51 - Interview with Kalil Haddad (Victim of Circumstance)

    Welcome to Season 4! Our first guest is Toronto-based filmmaker, Kalil Haddad, whose He Never Dies cycle of short films has been bursting brains with their acidic mix of queer themes and transgressive provocations. Often employing techniques of collage to a kaleidoscopic degree, Haddad mines the past with images of vintage gay erotica, morbid reality, and wistful nostalgia. It's a lot to chew on which made for an extremely compelling chat where we narrowly escaped peeling back the curtain a little too much a few times. Check this out now and get a glimpse into Kalil Haddad's singular world.  https://kalilhaddad.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kalil.haddad/ Watch "Taking of Jordan" here: https://www.le-sigh.com/issue-14-kalil-haddad-fan-wu-en Watch "His Smell" here: https://www.labocine.com/films/his-smell-2023 Spilt Your Head is proud to be a part of the Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network.

    Split Your Head - Season 3 - Episode 50 - Interview with Lucky Cerruti (Boxcutter)

    This final episode of Season 3 features an interview with Lucky Cerruti, a NY-based indie horror director whose newest film, Boxcutter, is one doozy of an ambitious feature. Feeling more like an anguish-filled grindhouse drama than a schlocky horror flick, Cerruti has taken a huge leap forward making for a highly compelling chat. We delve into the traumas that inspired the script, his directorial methods, and why this is such a groundbreaking achievement for him. We also got to talk shop about current death metal obsessions and then wrapped things up with one of the most provocative questionnaire conversations ever to happen on the show.

    Split Your Head - Season 3 - Episode 49 - Interview with Victor Gabriel (RFN Pictures)

    Warning: Lots of potty-mouthed humour in this episode. This episode features a chat with Victor Gabriel, indie horror director and head honcho of RFN Pictures. As RFN stands for Reel F**kin' Nightmares, expect a lot of swears and a lot of silly vulgar humour, but also expect a fun chat! Victor's previous film "Blood Gorge" was a retro slasher homage and a gory hoot, but his next feature, "Hellmare", looks to take his ambitions to a whole new level. Built off of an incredibly entertaining concept, as well as Gabriel's trademark gory hijinks and crass humour, I'm just foaming at the mouth to see this when it finally hits the big screen! We had to keep this one short due to technical difficulties, but the homie Victor will be back.

    Split Your Head - Season 3 - Episode 48 - Discussion on Pain in Cinema with Dr. Ethan Lyon & Jetta Weinstein

    WARNING: Contains discussions on violence, sexuality, and potentially triggering subject matter. This episode features a discussion on films about Pain with two returning guests, Dr. Ethan Lyon and Jetta Weinstein! We cover Stephen Dwoskin's documentary on various examples of pain, "Pain Is..." (1997); Monika Treut & Elfi Mikesch's fictional tale of S&M power dynamics in "Seduction: The Cruel Woman" (1985); and Kirby Dick's documentary on Bob Flanagan, the masochistic performance artist who died from cystic fibrosis, in "Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist" (1997). All 3 of us offer wildly different takes and analysis of these challenging and provocative films. It's a compelling episode, to say the least! https://letterboxd.com/dz1ga/https://letterboxd.com/theironcupcake/ Spilt Your Head is proud to be a part of the Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network.

    Split Your Head - Season 3 - Episode 46 - Discussion on Pink Films with Dakota Noot & Christopher Velasco

    WARNING: CONTAINS DISCUSSIONS OF POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING OR UPSETTING CONTENT INVOLVING SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND GRAPHIC SEXUALITY This episode sees the return of Dakota Noot and his husband Christopher Velasco, two LA-based artists that have been taking the deepest dive into Japanese pink films. With their podcast, Two in the Pinku, they've been documenting their discoveries, and now Dakota's writings on pink films have started to pop up in releases, such as 88 Film's most recent blu-ray of Tokyo Emmanuelle. With the announcement that Dakota is starting to work on a book on gay pink films, naturally I needed to have these two maniacal experts on to expand my perception of one of the most transgressive and intriguing genres to ever exist. Dive in! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2436488https://www.instagram.com/twointhepinku/https://88-films.myshopify.com/products/tokyo-emmanuellehttps://www.instagram.com/dakotanoothttps://www.instagram.com/caver83/https://letterboxd.com/dakotanoot/https://letterboxd.com/caver83/https://www.dakotanoot.com/https://www.christopheravelascophotography.com/ Spilt Your Head is proud to be a part of the Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network.

    Split Your Head - Season 3 - Episode 45 - Discussion on Abel Ferrara with Fred Barrett

    This episode features long-time friend of the show, Fred Barrett! Fred is a writer based out of Germany with some of the most fascinating film analysis and he's come on to wax off about Abel Ferrara. I've been a huge fan of Ferrara's earlier moody genre flicks and grindhouse bangers (King of New York, Ms. 45, etc) but I've struggled to get into most of his work post-Bad Lieutenant. Fred and I cover all of his eras in chronological order, leading to a poignant discussion about how to approach these challenging and highly subjective films.

    Split Your Head - Season 3 - Episode 44 - Interview with Brewce Longo (Vick & Tarstar's Scarecrow Factory)

    This episode features an interview with Philly-based "mumblegore" filmmaker, Brewce Longo! Brewce has been churning out wild horror flicks that have a unique mix of drama and hangout vibes setting them apart. His latest, Vick & Tarstar's Scarecrow Factory, dives even deeper with a meta take on filmmaking that shows both the slimier side and the disappointing side of low-budget productions. We talk shop about 90's teen horror, SOV cinema, and eating bugs. Check it out & go to one of the screenings for his latest film! https://linktr.ee/bloodsickproductionshttps://www.instagram.com/bloodsickproductions/https://diabolikdvd.com/https://makeflix.com/ Spilt Your Head is proud to be a part of the Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network.
