Tape #40 - Xtro
03/17/22 • 95 min
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!

Not So Trash Reviews - Essay #2 - The Love Witch vs. The Male Gaze
The season of love is over and so in the latest episode of the 'Not So Trash Reviews', Johann is joined by fellow Cinephile Eliza Russo to examine the 2016 film 'The Love Witch'. Written, Directed, Produced and Art Directed by Anna Biller, this movie appears to be a sexploitation film on its surface but has a lot to explore about cult mentality, fragile egos and a full deconstruction of the male gaze. But will the film's love take hold? Grab your potions and get ready to dissect this feminist sexy picture.
Original Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - ' 'Hackers' and 'Arcadia'

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