The Summer of Rollin continues...but this time, Jean takes a detour.
Episode 576 moves away from vampires and into two radically different films from Rollin's early career: Schoolgirl Hitchhikers (1972) and The Iron Rose (1973).
One is a bizarre softcore comedy packed with nudity, slapstick, sexual liberation and some decidedly uncomfortable attitudes towards women. The other is, in my humble opinion, one of Jean Rollin's greatest ac...
The Summer of Rollin continues...and Jean Rollin is starting to become Jean Rollin.
In Episode 575, we journey into The Shiver of the Vampires (1971) and Requiem for a Vampire (1971), two films that show Rollin evolving from an experimental filmmaker finding his voice into an auteur who has seemingly discovered exactly what kind of cinema he wants to make.
With The Shiver of the Vampires, Rollin pushes further into his fascination wi...
The summer begins...and with it, a journey into one of the most singular, poetic and uncompromising voices in horror cinema.
Welcome to The Summer of Rollin, a brand-new multi-part retrospective celebrating the dreamlike, surreal and unmistakably gothic films of French auteur Jean Rollin, using the stunning 4K UHD restorations from Indicator as our guide through his extraordinary filmography.
In this opening chapter we travel back to...
In this episode of Podcast Under the Stairs, we turn our attention to the sci-fi horror-comedy Cold Storage, a fast-paced, fungus-fuelled creature feature packed with B-movie thrills, dark humour, and plenty of gloopy gore. Blending elements of horror, comedy and sci-fi, the film comes from writer David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man) and director Jonny Campbell (Dracula), delivering a high-energy genre mash-...

Duncan is back looking at one of the most overlooked entries in the Hammer Film Productions catalogue. Demons of the Mind (1972) has steadily grown in reputation as a bold, unsettling and genuinely ambitious piece of gothic horror.
Directed by Peter Sykes and written by Christopher Wicking, the film trades traditional monsters for psychological decay, repression and inherited madness. Robert Hardy delivers a powerhouse perform...
Duncan is back to review a late-era entry from Hammer Film Productions, Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb which stands apart from the studio’s earlier monster-led formula by reworking classic Mummy lore through a more psychological and intriguingly subversive lens. Directed by Seth Holt and based on a story by Bram Stoker, the film shifts the horror inward centred on identity, possession, and female power. Arriving during a p...
Duncan is here to review a fascinating outlier in the Hammer Film Productions catalogue, Fear in the Night trades gothic horror for something far more intimate and unsettling. Directed by Jimmy Sangster, this psychological chiller leans heavily on atmosphere and performance, with Judy Geeson delivering a genuinely gripping turn as a woman unsure whether she’s being hunted or losing her grip on reality. Supported by the ever-r...

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
