Grindhouse Pizzeria - "Ms. 45"

On Episode 27 of our show "Grindhouse Pizzeria" which is dedicated to all things encompassing various Grindhouse, Drive-In, and Exploitation genres; we will be taking on and dissecting one of the grittiest early 80's revenge thriller fare with "MS. 45" from 1981. Directed by Abel Ferrera (Fear City, King Of New York, Bad Lieutenant) and stars Zoe Lund. This is not just another revenge flick that follows in the wake of the Death Wish franchise as it's rather a midnight cult thriller of the highest order. It's a story about a mute seamstress that goes insane after being attacked twice in the same day and quickly becomes the '45 Killer' on the seedy streets of 1980's NYC. Our discussion is headed off by our regular hosts Tom Komisar and Cameron Scott!

Without Warning - "Universal Monsters"

Welcome to an altogether new show here at Cinema Degneration we are calling "Without Warning." The theme for this show is unlike any other in our lineup. Hosted by Cinema Degeneration CEO Cameron Scott and his co-host, author, voiceover artist, and host of 'The Diabolical Index' Korey Dawson. The theme is simple: Scott calls Dawson out of the blue with no warning as to what the topic of conversation will be...without warning if you will. Scott will continuously test the overall skill and level of pop culture and movie expertise of Mr. Dawson with totally random topics including movies, literature, pop culture, music, art, comics and more. Dawson has absolutely no prior knowledge to these show topics and is going into the discussions totally blind. These shows are a hoot to record, and we hope as much fun for the audience to listen back to. The 6th episode show topic is on "UNIVERSAL MONSTERS". Essentially you are all in for a deep dive discussion on a multitude of films that were based on some of the classic and iconic black and white era of Hollywood Killers. Topics range from a lengthy debate on Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi and the 'Fearsome Five' cavalcade of maniacs with Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Invisible Man, and The Creature. Some of the other films covered range from Bride Of Frankenstein, The Black Cat, THEM!, The Raven, Frankenstein VS The WolfMan, plus more. Included in the festivities are various rants and segways into topics such as the Atomic Age of Horror, Vincent Price, This Island Earth, Hammer Horror, Monolith Monsters, and many more.  Join us!

Howling At The Full Moon - "Don't Let Her In"

On our show, "Howling At The Full Moon", we're going with something a little more recent with our 33rd episode and deep diving into one of the coolest looking feature films ever with the 2021 effort "DON'T LET HER IN" directed by Ted Nicolaou (the Subspecies franchise) and starring Kelly Curran, Lorin Doctor, Cole Penderey and Austin James Parker.  Don't Let Her In is a cautionary tale of what happens when you rent a room to a mysterious stranger that may not be all that she seems. This shorty feature (clocking in at only 61 minutes) is a touch of Rosemary's Baby, a dash of Demon Knight, and a whole lot of Gothic horror awesomeness.  Discussion headed off by our regular hosts Cameron Scott and Full Moon enthusiast Dustin Hubbard as they take a deep dive into a dissection of this Gothic horror romp.

Take Out Edition -"The Pyjama Girl Case"

We bring you the 13th episode of our specialty show "Take Out Edition" where we will explore the realms of foreign cinema.  Our hosts will take you along their travels all over the globe while diving into some of the most lucid storytelling, savage cannibals, vengeful spirits, sadistic killers, and post-apocalyptic zombie-plagued landscapes. Join us as we dissect the classics that prove sometimes fear comes with subtitles.  Our hosts, author and filmmaker Cameron Scott (Post Mortem America 2021) and filmmaker/musician Thomas Berdinski (The Italian Zombie Movie 1 & 2), take you on an Italian voyage on this episode with the 1977 Giallo thriller/police drama "THE PYJAMA GIRL CASE" from writer/director Flavio Mogherini and starring the late Ray Milliand. This cop thriller based on a real murder case from Australia in the 1930's will keep you on the tip of your toes to guess where it's all going.  It's not quite a slasher, not quite a Giallo, and all of a murder mystery.  Cinema Degeneration welcomes you to enjoy some Take Out while we explore the misadventures of Inspector Timpson and his quest for the truth!

Sequel Too, Deja Vu - "Howling 2: Your Sister Is A Werewolf"

On this show, our specialty is sequels, sequels, and more sequels.  From the good ones, to the bad ones, to the really ugly ones, we'll be covering them all!  We've got homicidal maniacs that won't stay in the grave, sci-fi epics whose stories cannot be told in a single tale, and much much more.  For our 26th episode, we'll be taking on one of the most infamously bad sequels in horror history with "HOWLING 2: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF" from 1986, from director Philippe Mora.  This lycanthropic follow to Joe Dante's original "The Howling" stars Reb Brown, Sybil Danning, Judd Omen, Annie McEnroe, and the incomparable Sir Christopher Lee.  It's a vampire movie that is cleverly disguised as a werewolf flick that is BARELY linked to the original source material. In this story a man aides in hunting down a group of werewolves from America to Europe after discovering his sister was one herself! There's werewolf hunters, creepy kids, Sir Christopher Lee as an occult historian, an ear worm of a theme song that plays multiple times, a 10,000 year old witch/werewolf, and tons of werewolf orgies to boot! Sound a little too wild to believe? That's because it is. Join our hosts Cameron Scott and Eric Phillips  as they dissect and take a deep dive into a world of misaligned vampires/werewolves in one of the weirdest sequels and troubled film shoots the likes of which you have ever seen before or likely will see again.
