HORROR MOVIES WITH T&A
Tony and Adam embark on a podcast adventure and instantly realise that quality, factual and intelligent conversation isn’t as easy as it looks. Despite this they persevere with their horror movie based waffley chit-chat, taking time out to discuss a randomly chosen horror movie each episode with varying results. Keep telling yourself.....it can only get better, it can only get better, it can only get better.
Episodes
Now this is Humanoids from the Deep (1980) a film directed by Barbara Peeters and Jimmy T Murakami and produced by Roger Corman. Yet another infamous movie to make it onto the UK’s video nasties list, ah the good old days, when people who were desperate to be offended could decide what you could or couldn't watch.
This is yet another film that highlights the animal kingdoms general poor form. Tony and Adam take thei...
What does this say about men, everything, nothing, something? Well all of these and bugger all! But does it do it in style or not or does it? Annoyed by this description? well that’s men innit!?
Basically this is about male pregnancy and the challenges it presents. Like a modern version of Junior.
This is Men from 2022, a film by Alex Garland and this is something perculiar.
You get to see Kinear’s junk as well, which s...
Tony and Adam explore the Knights Templar and focus on the first entry in this horrifying movie series. Tombs of the Blind Dead is an intriguing 1972 Spanish horror film, directed by Amando de Ossorio.
The dead rise up and cause local villagers all sorts of headaches. Watch open mouthed as they rock up n shake things down a little. If you thought a fulci or a romero zombie moves slowly, these are not moving at all, t...
A Christmas treat for our listener, a little gem that has been dusted off and hung upon the tree, this is Christmas Evil directed by Lewis Jackson.
And take a bow Mr Brandon Maggart, you sir are the next true Santa Clause.
So this festive period Tony and Adam take great delight in sprinkling some of their own special sparkling fairy dust on this under-appreciated chrimbo classic. It’s a present you just can’t put a pr...
Its exciting times for the T&A boys, their first Halloween special, and they've opted for Rick Rosenthals spooky sequel Halloween 2 (1981). Join us this halloween as we walk the hallways of Haddonsfield Memorial hospital. The night Michael came home yet again.

To celebrate episode 33 Tony and Adam explore a film from the eighties that will shake you to your very core. More Ozploitation goodness with Next of Kin: Directed by Tony Williams. It will rock your world and make you rethink your whole belief system. Like the matrix it will make you question the very fabric of reality. At its very heart is a film that is nothing and everything all at once.
Yep thats it, thats Next ...
Tony and Adam present a run-down of their favourite Video Nasties. This promises to be a little bit special. A beautifully crafted slice of Pod, unlike some of the nasties that at times seem to have been thrown together by a halfwit.
Video Nasties a glorious time for VHS tapes; you know VHS tapes a lovely physical thing you could hold in your hand and caress.
Alice, Alice?, who the f**k is Alice! Well we’ll investigate via our highly intuitive chat/review/spew.
Alice Sweet Alice (76) aka Communion aka Holy Terror aka Mask Murders is a movie lovingly brought to us by Alfred Sole. This Giallo / slasher hybrid got caught up in the UK's Video Nasty debacle and never had a proper video release until 2003. So its time for the T&A boys to give it some long overdue attention.
Do you come from a land down under? Well do you?! Time for some Ozploitation and there’s no better place to start than Camp 47. Tony and Adam take a break from human hunting to talk about Brian_Trenchard-Smith’s 1982 film Turkey Shoot. It will be bootiful really bootiful (Bernard Mathews turkey ref).
One American legend (Vincent Price) and a selection of british screen icons put on a show for Tony and Adam, and oh what a show it is. This is Theatre of Blood and this is easily their best episode yet, it sets a new bench mark in production values and sound quality. They've already decided that this is the one that they'll definitely submit for consideration in this year annual podcast award thing.
Trailer 2, some newer clips to wet your appetite! Bon appetite nom, etc.
These Zombies really put a shift in and they plot n scheme throughout; quite impressive really. This is Umberto_Lenzi’s 1980 crazy effort Nightmare City. The debate on whether Zombies should run rages on and in conclusion Tony n Adam agree on very little.
It really is hot in the city, as Billy Idol once said, TONIGHT!
Tony and Adam are on campus, unraveling the mystery of the 'filthy jigsaw killer'. This is a Juan Piquer Simón movie and this is Pieces.
Pieces - a poem in bits
A horror?
In parts, yes
A puzzling dance?
Like a jig…..saw?
A tableau?
Motionless spare figures after the kill
A good film?
Pieces (of the movie) are shit, but a piece of shit?
Tony and Adam instantly fall in love with this cheesy slice of 80s horror. John Grissmer's Blood Rage is a film that really get these guys cranberry juices flowing. It's even got a tour de force performance by Louise Lasser, a film that should be savoured every thanksgiving.
Tony and Adam have produced an episode that everybody is talking about. Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala bring us Goodnight Mommy, a moody little psychological horror that deserves some attention. .........A slow burner; well until 5 minutes from the end. As a special bonus we give the remake a small chat. I know we are spoiling you!

Tony and Adam take a dive into A Bay of Blood from horror legend Mario Bava, not only was it one of the first slasher films but is also one of the original banned video nasty 72. We don't have enough time to go through all its aka's now, Twitch of the Death Nerve, Bloody Deeds etc.
Suffice to say this influenced a lot of films.

Underneath the streets of wherever are a race of mutants. Tony and Adam chat about CHUD, a film by Douglas Cheek, they are undecided, is it a thoughtfully written ecological statement? Or maybe a study of how some members of society can sometimes become forgotten.
Above all else this film sets out to demonstrate just one thing - CHUDs like to paaaaarty!
People die, then they don’t die. Dead and Buried (81) lovingly brought to life by Gary Sherman and written by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett of Alien fame! One of the original video nasty 72 that explores themes like mortality and how communities can become a little bit murdery when they egg each other on. It also confronts us with our fear of needles, harpoons and lumps of wood round the back of the head. Tony and Adam...
Take your most extreme emotions and physically manifest them as a bunch of marauding homicidal shell suited rotters. Look like blue meanies as well! Most of the people in this Cronenberg classic are shitbags.
This is The Brood, this is Psychoplasmics and this is Tony and Adam. You get what you pay for in this completely free episode.
