To get us in the mood for some 1980s horror, we take a rambling trip back to November 1982 to sample the music in the charts the week Creepshow was released!
It's crap film time again, and we are chatting about Ken Russell's frankly bonkers adaptation of Bram Stoker's Lair of the White Worm starring Amanda Donohoe, Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi, and a terrifying strap-on! 1980s horror doesn't get much more mental than this!

It's cult time time again, and we hit to road to look at the early Steven Spielberg classic Duel starring Dennis Weaver and the bloody big truck!

In this very very sweary episode, we look at our first movie that has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes - The Ridiculous 6.

WARNING - this podcast contains very strong f****** language from the c****** start!
It's cult film time again, and this time we are back to the 1980s for a slice of Arnie sci-fi action! Yes it's The Running Man, directed by Paul Michael Glaser - Starsky himself - and loosely based on the Richard Bachman novel, which itself was really a Stephen King novel. Bad impersonations and some very bad language ensues...
