The Incredible Two-Headed Podcast

Johnny Duarte of Creepy Kingdom returns for another round serving as my temporary host body. This week the note we've been handed reads "The Kids Aren't Alright" and it's up to us to interpret that. Johnny chose notorious Japanese action flick Battle Royale, while Aaron picked the recent YA rom-com Spontaneous. Whether doing horrible things or having horrible things done to them, kids don't really have an easy time of it this week.

Friend of the show J. Carlos Menjivar makes it a three-peat this time as we discuss a pair of Japanese films offering a couple of wildly dissimilar views of the afterlife. First up is Carlos' pick; Jigoku, from director Nobuo Nakagawa. Followed by one of Aaron's favorite films of all time; After Life, from director Hirokazu Koreeda.

J. Carlos Menjivar is the host of the terrific Dial F For Film podcast, which I've been on a few times. You can find the show wherever fine podcasts are sold, and follow along on Twitter and Instagram @DialFpodcast.

On this week's episode host Aaron Lowe is joined by writer Angela Greco to discuss a culinary pair of films. Aaron brings Stanley Tucci's 1996 indie Big Night, and Angela brings Juzo Itami's 1985 'ramen western' Tampopo.

Grab some snacks, make a meal while you listen, you are going to get hungry.

All the way from Scotland, today's guest-host-body is Ashley Sutherland, actor, life coach, and cohost of the great Choose Film podcast. Ashley and I had a terrifically fun conversation about a couple of serious movies, both centered around the theme of escape.

Ashley's up first with her choice, Room, from 2015, starring Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay. Aaron follows that up with The Shawshank Redemption, box office flop and perennial 'best movie of all time' according to iMDB users.

Ashley can be found on twitter @AshSutherland4 and on Instagram @AshleySutherland. Her podcast, which she hosts with Gary Hewitt (@HewittGPro) can be found on twitter @FilmChoose and Instagram @ChooseFilmPodcast. Follow all of that stuff, you won't regret it.

It's another plus-sized episode this week, befitting our special guest. Joining me all the way from Scotland this week is one half of the great Choose Film podcast, Gary Hewitt. Gary finds himself acting as my host body this week as we chat about a bunch of Man Vs. Machine films. This is actually the opening episode of a special two-parter, and I'll be speaking with his cohost next week.

Faced with this theme, Gary chose Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and I went with Upgrade. Both films are available for rent at most digital outlets.

 

The Choose Film podcast can be found wherever you get your podcasts, and you can find the show on twitter @FilmChoose or on Instagram @ChooseFilmPodcast. Gary can be found on Twitter @HewittGPro. Give them a listen and a follow.

Bunnicula Blanc plays host body today as we discuss a pair of Italian zombie movies that almost bookend the golden age of Italian zombie flicks.

Up first is Michele Soavi's Cemetery Man, or as it's also known, Dellamorte Dellamore (Of Death, Of Love). A darkly comic mix of zombies, sex, and Gilliamesque flights of fancy.

We follow that up with a discussion of Lucio Fulci's over-the-top gorefest, The Beyond (AKA Seven Doors of Death, though please don't watch the film if it bears that title, you'll get a highly watered down American version). The middle film of Fulci's seminal Gates of Hell trilogy, The Beyond is a singular piece of filmmaking from the acclaimed horror director.

This is another slightly longer episode, but we're talking about two movies we both have a great affinity for, so we had a lot to say. 

If interested, you can follow Bunnicula on instagram @Bunnicula_Blanc and of course you can follow the show on twitter and instagram @TwoHeadedPod.

Also considering heading over to SaveOurStages.com and sending a little support towards any local venues that you care about and are missing during this international crisis.

This week's guest host body is Jacob Davison from the Eye On Horror podcast. Together we sit down and discuss a pair of found footage horror films. First up is J-horror staple Noroi: The Curse from director Koji Shiraishi. Then we follow that up with a discussion of Australian mockumentary Lake Mungo, from director Joel Anderson. And of course we finish up with our top 5s of the week.

Jacob's show can be found wherever you get your podcasts, and you can follow along @EyeOnHorror on twitter.

New year, new episode, New Mutants!

Jared Jordan of Metallic Dice Games returns to become our first three-peat guest to talk about a couple of unloved comic book adaptations. Hulk (2003), directed by Ang Lee, and The New Mutants (2020) directed by Josh Boone. 

We let Jared talk about comics, so you know this is gonna be a long one. Consider it a year-end bonus.

It's a special holiday episode this week, wrapping up our string of Christmas movies. Joining me today, as guest and host body, is my partner Amber Keplinger. They've been mentioned plenty times on the show, and they're making their debut today to discuss a few animated Christmas tales, old and new.

It's a bit shorter than normal, a bit looser, but we thought it would be fun to just get together for a brief conversation as a Christmas gift from us here at the Incredible Two-Headed Podcast to you, the listener.

 

You can find Amber and follow their art on Instagram @AMKDesigns, on Twitter @AmberGir, and on their facebook page Art of Amber Keplinger. 

 

The movies discussed today are the 2019 Netflix original Klaus (currently on netflix, naturally), the 1982 British television special The Snowman (currently available on Amazon Prime), and the followups, Father Christmas and The Snowdog and the Snowman, which are both streaming free on youtube.

The Incredible Two-Headed Podcast goes international, as our holiday series continues with Angus Lost, joining us all the way from Japan. Together we discuss a pair of dark Christmas tales with some fairly dark interpretations of Santa. Aaron makes at least one blasphemous statement about a beloved recent Christmas classic, and we talk about Batman a lot more than you might expect. And then we follow it up with our top five dark Christmas movies.

The movies discussed today are Rare Exports (which is available on many streaming sites, several of them free) and Krampus (which is not free, but is available for rental from most digital outlets).
