  • 1. Tape #44 - Mommie Dearest

    01:51:53||Season 5, Ep. 1
    Welcome to the Final Season of the Trash Tapes podcast! As part of the journey to finally giving the podcast a proper send off, we kick off with the granddaddy of camp trash, as the boys take on 1981's Joan Crawford Biopic 'Mommie Dearest'. On this melodramatic episode, Johann is joined by Ed to see how this biopic is both a horror film and an unintentional comedy. From Faye Dunaway's method acting, the sheer drama, the ropy dialogue, the horror of child abuse, the production stories, its connection to the LGBTQ+ Community and THAT infamous scene... So much is happening! But is this camp classic the biggest mother of them all or is it just a nightmare? Come along and scream with us! NO WIRE HANGERS!Want to join the Cult Film Club?

  • 6. Not So Trash Reviews - Essay #6 - High Class Visions: Eyes of Laura Mars (feat. Darrell Buxton of Cine-Lit Podcast)

    01:16:00||Ep. 6
    On the latest episode of the 'Not So Trash Reviews', Johann is joined by Film Historian and co-host of the Cine-Lit podcast Darrell Buxton to look deep into the 'Eyes of Laura Mars', Hollywood's attempt at the high class Giallo with an early script by John Carpenter starring Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones. Not only will be explaining how underrated this gem is without spoilers but we will also be using this film to examine Culture Status Theory. What is the film attempting to say about glamour? What is considered as high society? Can sleaze and trash be considered art? Does controversy create cash? We will be attempting to find the answers to these questions with the visions this movie can give us.If you want to hear more from Darrell Buxton, check out the Cine-Lit podcast here (https://shows.acast.com/cine-lit)Original Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - ' 'Hackers' and 'Arcadia'Original score for Eyes of Laura Mars by Artie KanePrisoners performed by Barbra StreisandWant to support the show?

We explore the acting performances of Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Jake Gyllenhall, examining what they bring to the table with their unique approaches, as well as going under the magnifying glass and David Fincher's directing style and ask the questions... is he an auteur filmmaker and was this the film that finally cemented it?

  • 6. Tape #42 - Hudson Hawk

    01:27:43||Season 4, Ep. 6
    With the sad news of Bruce Willis' retirement, Johann and Ed decide to pay tribute by examining his personal passion project, 1991's Hudson Hawk. Whistle a tune, plan a heist and prepare for looney tunes antics with this multi tonal hot mess of a project. Known for its troubled production due to the constant changes by the star himself, clashes with the director, producer and walk offs with fellow actors, it made for at least a 'unique' experience. So come along and face the many varieties of villains in this caper. Now... where is my cappuccino? Want to support the show?

    58:24||Ep. 4
    On the latest episode of the 'Not So Trash Reviews', Johann is joined by Filmmaker Sophie Black to explore the representation of vampires through the lens of 2013's 'Only Lovers Left Alive' by the legendary director Jim Jarmusch. This film is beautiful in its complexity and explores deeper themes of love, death, history and the rock star lifestyle, all remixed together into a not so typical take on the vampire genre. So grab your favourite vinyl record, relax into your sofa and feel the rush of the blood type O Negative in this excellent deep dive into this unique Gothic tale.

  • 3. Not So Trash Reviews - Essay #3 - Berberian Sound Studio: The Horror of Sound Design

    49:40||Ep. 3
    On the latest episode of the 'Not So Trash Reviews', Johann is joined by Post Production Sound Engineer William Peter Henley to use their combined knowledge of sound to audibly examine the 2012 film 'Berberian Sound Studio' by Peter Strickland. This film is both a love letter to audiophiles with scenes of Foley, dubbing and post sound but also a dark psychological exploration of trauma, exploitation and the power of psycho-acoustics. So plug yourself in, level your mixer and prepare to scream with this special soundscape of talk, sound and music.If you want to know more of William Peter Henley work, check out his website (https://www.williamhenley.co.uk/) or follow him on his socials @WilliamHenley97Original Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - ' 'Hackers' and 'Arcadia'Interview of Peter Strickland by CurzonWant to support the show?

  • 4. Tape #40 - Xtro

    01:32:29||Season 4, Ep. 4
    It is time to look up at the stars with this special lost episode of The Trash Tapes! This time, Johann and Ed explore the 1982 surrealist sci fi, Xtro! We examine everything from its gore, its surrealism, its goofiness, its full blown nihilism and also just how wonderfully Middle Class British it all is... oh, and it has clowns, cocoons, body horror, and the weirdest melting alien roaming the countryside. But is this movie out of this world or just a head trip? Come along and take a look. Not all Extra Terrestrials are Friendly!Want to support the show?
