"Welcome to a classic From The Hip format show, its been a hectic few weeks with a lot to get caught up on. We begin with Tony sharing an update on the progress of his latest film project and explanation of our comings and goings which has caused the delay in getting a new episode up. Our wandering watch list conversation began with thoughts on Iron Man 3. A spectacle following in the massive wake of The Avengers really deserves some attention (and Ted tries hard to keep the nitpicks in check).
Spoiler talk for IM3 from 11:42 to 14:25
Things progress with Maniac (2013) which was a pleasant surprise that rose above a filmmaking technique that could have been rejected as gimmick. We get pretty grim talking about some truly disturbing real life horror and its fictionalized account – Philosophy of a Knife (2008) which recreates the atrocities committed by Unit 731 over its 4 hour (!) running time. To try conveying the nature of this real life nightmare from the darkest corners of world war 2, we discuss the documentary Unit 731 – Nightmare in Manchuria. A difficult subject but must be seen.
We bounce around a couple of small indie releases as well including It’s In The Blood (2012), an odd creature feature (minus the creatures) starring Lance Henriksen, and Mulberry Street (2006) which takes the core premise of a 28 Days Later style infection horror but delivers blood-thirsty rat-people instead of zombies… oh yes, rat-people. All this and a re-watch of Signs (2002) too.
We announce our first premium episode at the end of the show: please check it out at www.horroretc.bandcamp.com
We have always tried to offer something in exchange for those who support the show and our concept was for this special release to be in keeping with that philosophy."
