• IFWT #125 - Interview/Twisted Issues(1988) w/ dir. Charles Pinion.

  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 formative years, his influences, how he came to make Twisted Issues, and the Cinema of Transgression scene he soon found himself a part of.

  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? Join us as we discuss, dissect and deep dive the characters, story structure, symbolism and legendary ending, all of which have put this movie on the highest and most deserving of pedestals.

• IFWT #122 - Death Race 2000 (1975)

  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 whether or not the ending means a happier world for its citizens, or simply the same old misery in a different costume. Start your engines folks, cos we’re going full speed ahead on this one!

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 to make a argument for the merits of this hypnotic masterpiece(??)
