2025/06/26

We welcome punk filmmaker Charles Pinion onto the show for the first part of a mini-series diving into the shot-on-video works of Charles. Pinion made his mark on the shot-on-video scene of the 1980s with his debut feature Twisted Issues in 1988 - an experimental psychotronic story of a bullied skater who is killed and resurrected, attached to his skateboard(!!!), to enact bloody revenge on his perpetrators. But it wouldn't be right to just dive into Twisted Issues. We wanna know his story! his

The Vanishing stands as one of the most highly regarded European films ever made films, and on this episode we’re inviting on a guest who, quite literally, wrote the book on it. Writer and film critic Christina Brennan, author of The Vanishing (Spoorloos), is going to guide us through the production history, behind the scenes dramas and all the fascinating ins and outs that revolve around what some regarded as one of the scariest and most unsettling films ever made. But what makes it so disturbing

We welcome back to the show, author, filmmaker and musician Nikolas Schreck, who has dropped by to discuss the 2024 revised and updated edition of his 2001 book The Satanic Screen: An Illustrated Guide To The Devil In Cinema. Nikolas has a first hand vantage of the material, as in a former life, he was a practicing black magician, steeped in the occult and was associated with The Church of Satan. It's with this knowledge that he details the cinematic history of the Devil on screen, and even

It’s time for us to travel forward in time to the futuristic world of … 2000!? Death Race 2000 is one of the most famous films to come from the world of B-movie legend Roger Corman, and with an illustrious cast including David Carradine, Mary Woronov and a pre-super stardom Sylvester Stallone, it’s also one of the most well-regarded. There’s lots for us to pick apart here, including the dystopian world, the political landscape, the racers, the cars, the moral implications of violent spectacle and

Wayne is off gallivanting round Poland, so Liam, has recruited good friend of the podcast, Phil, of Flixology 101, to fill the co-host seat, and Liam introduces Phil to Scottish filmmaker Donald Cammell's completely bonkers movie White of the Eye. Starring a returning Cathy Moriarty, who after suffering a horrific car crash, was out of movies for 5 years, and also starring a magnetic David Keith .Is it a giallo? Is it a slasher? I mean, it could be all these things, or none, but by God, we're here

2025/05/08

The French Connection was a departure for director William Friedkin. After the BO failure of The Boys in the Band, he pivoted, and put his learned skills to the emerging zeitgeist grabbing action and car chase film. But this film, is more than its infamous chase scene, it's a terrifically gritty tale of urban decay, set amongst the backdrop of the NYPD and the drug underworld. And lucky for us, we're joined by writer Jason Allison, a retired NYPD narcotics, and homicide detective with over

We're joined by friend of the show Carmelita McKoy, who brings us John Huston's 1964 adaptation of Tennessee Williams's play The Night of the Iguana, and we here at IFWT are spoiled, as Carmelita is a wealth of Tennessee Williams knowledge, so it's only fitting she join us for the dive into a film that bridges that old and new Hollywood.

It’s time for us to return to the delightfully sordid world of Giallo with Death Walks On High Heels. Luciano Ercoli might not be the biggest name ever to grace the genre, but as we’ll prove today, he earned a distinctive position in the world of Italian murder mystery. Alongside long time friend of the podcast, author Marek Z. Turner aka Polizio T Turner, we’ll give this little gem our customary deep dive, and chat a little about the world of giallo cinema in general. Get out your telescope and

2025/04/03

We're taking our first trip into the world of short films on this podcast, and could think of no better way than to dive into the works of Kenneth Anger - a filmmaker of 'cine-poems' who has not only influenced cinema in general, but has arguably produced the first aeon of music video with his film Scorpio Rising. We discuss potentially his magnum opus in Lucifer Rising - a magick ritual put to celluloid and a film with an extremely complicated history.

It’s Baseball Opening Day, and what better what to celebrate this most American of occasions than by bring back a good friend of ours from across the pond to discuss what he considers to be the finest Baseball film of all time: The Bad News Bears. Released in 1976 (and boy you can tell!), it’s a simple yet powerful tale of friendship, camaraderie, wasted potential and the harm that comes from the single-minded pursuit of victory. Joining us for this deep dive is former guest Dan Epstein, an author,

2025/03/20

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.

2025/03/13

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

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.

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.

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

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(

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.

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(?)

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
