TotalCultZone Presents

Returning to Frightfest this week I'm joined by Captain J to talk about "Broken Bird", the opener of this years festival.Talking about a horror movie that has so many twists and turns without spoiling it proves challenging so were hopeful we sold it well... if not you can stay right to the very end where we give you 2 whole minutes of spoilers that may entice you in, I should point out that with only 2 minutes on the clock to do this we don't even scratch the surface of everything that happens.To find Captain J online, hire a Private Dick, he aint easy to track down.To find me, TotalCultZone.Com lots to see on the stack nowBROKEN BIRD marks the feature directorial debut of actress Joanne Mitchell, who for 30 years has honed her craft as a horror storyteller.  BROKEN BIRD is a feature film adaptation of her & Tracey Sheals's 2018 award-winning short SYBIL, written with the help of Dominic Brunt (Wolf Manor).This rich, disturbing tale steps into the life and mind of Sybil Carmichael. Sybil is quiet, creative soul. Her hobbies are taxidermy and poetry. She works in a funeral parlor with the deceased. She likes dead people. They understand her.At just ten years old, she experienced a massive trauma in a tragic accident which took away the family she adored. Now, an aching loneliness prevails in a void which she seeks to fill. She has her hobbies, which is nice... But poetry and a vivid imagination only provide a temporary escape from the harsh realities of a lonely life.Reality and reason are slipping away from Sybil and her ‘dark desires’ become more and more insatiable. Her fascination with the dead takes a dark and strange twist. And in a horrific climax of gothic proportions, she finds her own kind of happiness and contentment with the people she keeps as company - the dead people.Sybil is masterfully portrayed by Rebecca Calder (Kandahar/Memory) in a riveting nuanced performance in which she captures all of Sybil’s quirky, unsettling behavior. She is supported by an incredible cast featuring James Fleet (Four Weddings & a Funeral), Sacharissa Claxton (Avenue 5) and Jay Taylor (Misfits).MusicTatami: OutrunMusic from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/outrunLicense code: WL5SKQKGCYUROHRM

In this episode I'm trying out a new thing, a mystery movie, reaction and review. As I bring on Rich Whitehouse AKA Sunset Skip AKA RIch N'Famous AKA Jake Crotchstomper to have a chit-chat and make them watch a random movie. Along the way we'll learn all sort of little things about his life and loves in the wrasslin world.It's hard to do a Mystery movie when you doing a podcast though and need to list credits, but I doubt anyone gets this far into the notes anyway. We watched "Backyard Dogs" it's not really a film, more a moment of magic capture on Film... Hi8 video tape by Robert Boris, a man who once directed Rob Lowe and Alley Sheedy in sports comedy classic "Oxford Blues" and Nick Nolte as a Dirty Hippie. It stars people straight outta the 90's and a Power Ranger, with music by people who hate music.Sunset SkipInstaTwittFaceAll my stuffTOTALCULTZONE.COMMusicBackyard Dogs Theme tune- LGMLocal Elevator · Kevin MacLeodLocal Forecast - Elevator Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Tatami: OutrunMusic from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/tatami/outrunLicense code: WL5SKQKGCYUROHRM
