The Schlock and Awe Podcast

This week on S&A Lindsay & Bede vs The Living Dead - Bede create their own Vanity Project with a Double of Craig Denny's The Astrologer (1976) & John De Hart's Champagne and Problems (1993). Do you want a film maker who doesn't know what they are doing? A film guided by numerology, no context for scenes, grotesque sex scenes and a very drunk Wings Hauser? We have that and more. These men had a dream and too much money and we are thankful for it.

This week on S&A Lindsay and Preston Mitchell go the way of Revenge in a Double of  Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) & Park Chan-wook's Olddog (2003). This is a Double of many things. The rules and philosophy behind it - the Japanese & Southern Korean Rules. What does it mean to be a warrior and using spirits of the past, whether as tutors or to fuel vengeance. There is a lot going on.

This week on S&A Lindsay & Action 4 Everyone's Mike & Max look into the different seasons of Sam Raimi with his Send Help (2026) & A Simple Plan (1998).

This week on S&A Lindsay & Robb Antequera head down into the underground of 1990s DTV Action with Don the Dragon's Ring of Fire: Blood and Steel (1993) & Gary Daniels' Riot (1996). This is a Double of a specific kind of action star. But it is also a Double of Budget Action Film Making, making action on the fly and how each movie handles each persona. Oh so much more round kicking and revenge than you are ready for.   Original Graphics Nadine Whitney Original Music Anthony King    Please rate, review and subscribe Schlock & Awe on your favourite podcast platform to help the show

On this week's S&A Lindsay and Luna Rossi Films & This is Film's Carlo be leaping. It's a bonkers mid naughties French double of Pierre Morel's District B13 (2004) & Louis Leterrier's Unleashed (2005). This is an action double that looks at a time and a place, but also a style of action and the history that lead up to it. It's my favourite kind of Double to cover. So much leaping!
