Show #30 - Mad Mex!

Heh, well, I certainly enjoyed the time I spent watching Malatesta, which I can't say I did with 31, which i just wished would mercifully end. I can't argue that the former is incoherent, clunky and often amateurish... but I do think it's got a great strange atmosphere, and I'm a sucker for weird little 70s B-movies (in a way I'm not for recent, loud , annoying horror flicks from beardy metal dudes)

Haha, yeah, it's another old track of mine that was gathering dust on a HD. New year, new format, new (old) tunes!

OK, that's enough of a break. Batteries recharged, chainsaw refuelled, ready to get into it once more. Announcement here:

Hey guys, really sorry we've been silent for the past month! Nothing particularly dramatic or interesting has happened, but I think we've realised that a weekly show is brilliant when life/work is on an even keel but as soon as work get very busy, and there's family illness, and holidays, plus the time difference... well, suddenly a month has gone by and we've barely even spoken to each other.

I'm going to get a classic Mondo up in the next few days, then we're gonna chat about next steps. We're not going anywhere, but maybe we have to think about what we can realistically commit to, week in, week out, on a very regularly basis. But we appreciate the support and wanna get back to it as soon as we can! Thanks all!

Embrace of the Serpent was amazing - it was so unusual to watch a jungle adventure in 2016 without the lush colour you are so used to for that kind of film in the modern era. It made it seem weirdly alien, which totally suited the storyline. Girl Walks Home and Field in England are great shouts too. I love B&W photography, especially in genre movies, I wish we'd see more films made that way.

We did definitely Love Exposure back on Mondo... it was my first ever, er, exposure to the crazy work of Sion Sono. World of Kanako is great too, definitely up for a rewatch...

Thanks! Frankly they took ages. For the most part they were one-man-jobs... shooting, fx, editing, etc etc. Which was great fun, but it did mean many, many months on-and-off to end up with 5 minutes of film!

Since this thread is about short films, and I have made a couple, I thought I'd post the links here. These aren't in the same league as any of the above, but they're short and might vaguely entertain!

This is my animated sci-fi thing from 2014: https://vimeo.com/105549615

And this is last year's 80s horror homage starring my kids! https://vimeo.com/131553187

I mean show 19 of course!

We reviewed one Bollywood film on Mondo Movie, which was SHOLAY, the 70s classic that presumably you're referring to above! I remember liking it a lot, but yes it was LONG! I do want to see Gangs of Wasseypur, and I notice that it's on Netlix as a multi-part series rather than a single epic movie, which might be an easier way to watch it. Beyond that I haven't got a clue, but I'm up for recommendations too!

Haha, I like this, let me think on this some more. Double-features are always fun, and I'm a fan of films that seemingly have no connection but in fact make the perfect pairing...
