Explicit content warning
05/31/20 • 38 min
Man, 2020 gets more and more crazy every day. We have premature easing of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in England, protesting and riots in the US and Elon Musk built a good rocket. It's a weird and scary time indeed but for now, Andy and Mitch are locked away, continuing to bring you content.
So, without further ado, MINISODE 105!
Topics this week include Arrow Video's release of Lucky McKee's excellent THE WOMAN, SLAUGHTER HIGH, Smoky Thriller Friday takes a backseat to our LIVE watchalong and Mitch continues his 90s side-quest with THE RAGE: CARRIE 2!
Also, there's another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES!
Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below...
We also announce the film and guest for this week's main episode.
In addition to all this, we dig into your posts and messages in the Feedback section and tell you what you should be watching as we look at what's arriving on streaming platforms this week!
Please note that this podcast may contain strong language and even stronger Scottish accents.

104: Open Windows (Mitch v Andy)
HEY! Rejoice! For better or worse it looks like lockdown is easing a little. Things are looking up, y'all! Well, that is until the next inevitable lockdown! BUT that's a ballache for the future. We are focused on the here, the now, on EPISODE 104!
Anyway, our guest this week is a RETURNING guest. A horror writer, an occasional doer of musical things and one of the hosts of the podcast STRONG LANGUAGE & VIOLENT SCENES...
It's MITCH BAIN!
His chosen film? OPEN WINDOWS!
We all know Mitch loves a tech-horror. That's no secret. So it should come as no surprise to learn that he has gone for TimeCrimes and Colossal director Nacho Vigalondo's 2014 "webcam" mystery, Open Windows!
This might well be a contentious issue as we did into the film, which stars Elijah Wood, Sasha Grey and Neil Maskell! Can Mitch come out on top and win Andy round? Dive in and see!
The synopsis is as follows:
An actress refuses to have dinner with a fan who won a date with her in an Internet contest.
In return, a man posing as her campaign manager, helps the winner to follow in the footsteps of the actress from his own computer.
Please note that this episode contains strong language, conversations of an adult nature and EXTREMELY Scottish accents.
