Recent Episodes
With rumours swirling about the future of James Bond—from Amazon taking the reins to Denis Villeneuve possibly directing the next instalment—Johann and Edward revisit the world of 007 in this classic revamped episode. They dive into the highs, the lows, and the legacy of Britain’s most iconic spy, discussing most of the men behind the tux and sharing their favourite (and not-so-favourite) moments from across the franchise. From Connery to Craig, gadgets to quips—this one’s got a license to thrill.

Not So Trash Reviews is back from the dead!
After a long hiatus, Johann Chipol returns with a resurrected lost episode, originally recorded almost three years ago! And what better film to make our comeback with than Brian De Palma’s genre-bending rock opera cult classic, Phantom of the Paradise?
Johann is joined by friend of the show and horror filmmaker Liam Banks of Superfreak Media as they explore the film’s glam excess, high camp energy, and enduring legacy. From masked composers and soul-selling producers to the unforgettable brilliance of Beef, this episode dives into what makes Phantom of the Paradise a prime example of high camp cinema.
We’ll unpack the meaning of “camp” itself and explore how De Palma’s film mirrors larger ideas about fame, style, and the price of artistic ambition.
