Ep.9 Redux: EXPLOITATION HORROR FILMS

Summary: Fear not, we’ll be back with brand new episodes starting September 19th. Meantime, here’s this week’s classic re-dux,  Episode 9, originally released via the now defunct Horror Palace on May 10th, 2012 and entitled ‘Exploitation Horror with Special Guest Vicodin.’ Tom, Billy and Joe take a walk down memory lane in the introductory comments to this epic episode. The original show notes looked something like this: The boys are left alone for episode 009 and things get heavy! Having his wisdom tooth pulled earlier in the day, Maxxacre is hopped up on prescription Vicodin making things a little crazier than usual. After the introductions of our host and co-hosts, the bloodied butchers of The Cutting Room have a great discussion about exploitation favorites Larry Clarke, Harmony Korine and Werner Herzog before they even get started, once again assuring our listeners that the conversations can and will go anywhere! TomaHawk is first up with an introduction to Todd Browning’s FREAKS from 1932. Max gets a bit emotional and Mummy and Grim give you some great history behind this beautiful masterpiece. Maxsacre gasses up the chainsaw for one of the most insane introductions to any movie we have reviewed here: SCREAM, BLACULA, SCREAM. The review moves into a personal and deep discussion about race and culture. Next, we move across the globe to the great country of Japan as our shop sushi chef Billy Grim gives us another stellar intro for Takashi Miike’s 2001 cult classic ICHI THE KILLER. Billy gives us a great lesson on Miike’s career as well. Finally, Joe Mummy unwraps himself and reviews the new dvd release of HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN and brings the show full circle. Have fun folks! The Cutting Room delivers some powerful stuff once again!
