293 - FREAKED (1993) + FRAUDS (1993)

Hosts Josh and Jamie go solo to discuss two films that played the Toronto International Film Festival Midnight Madness in 1993 (the section of the fest dedicated to genre and midnight movies): Alex Winter and Tom Stern's FREAKED, a vulgar, comedic punk-rock body horror update on Tod Browning's FREAKS for demented 90s weirdo kids + Stephen Elliot's FRAUDS, a diabolical, strange, and energetic funhouse insurance claims investigator thriller starring Phil Collins. Next week's episode is a patron-exclusive bonus episode on Joseph H. Lewis' MY NAME IS JULIA ROSS (1945) and TERROR IN A TEXAS TOWN (!958), you can get access to that episode (and all past + future bonus episodes) by subscribing to our $5 tier on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sleazoidspodcast Intro // 00:00-17:22 FREAKED // 17:22-1:36:22 FRAUDS //1:36:22-2:26:48 Outro // 2:26:48-2:31:14 MERCH: www.teepublic.com/stores/sleazoids?ref_id=17667 WEBSITE: www.sleazoidspodcast.com/ Pod Twitter: twitter.com/sleazoidspod Pod Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/SLEAZOIDS/ Josh's Twitter: twitter.com/thejoshl Josh's Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/thejoshl Jamie's Twitter: twitter.com/jamiemilleracas Jamie's Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/jamiemiller
