Episode 80 - I Spit On Your Grave (1978) - "What’s that Saying about a Woman's Greatest Fear?”
This week on the pod, we’re packing the car and heading into the mountains for a quiet, secluded little getaway that takes a hard left turn real fast as we watched the 1978 cult classic “I Spit On Your Grave”. Join us as we discuss one of the origin films to coin the term “Video Nasty”, and boy does it deserve that title. Whether it’s the audience watching the film, or the cast and crew on the brutal making of this film, noone comes out of these film feeling good about themselves. While the film does produce one of horrors most memorable survivors in the “Rape and Revenge” (and boy does that Revenge part feel good), we can’t help but wonder through all of director, writer, producer Meir Zarchi’s good intentions to show this story through a feminist lens, just how far can that really go both coming from a male lens and through the level of brutality on display over and over again in this film. Even for this podcast, it’s a bit much. Plus, the porn look of everybody from the 70’s, imagining Kenny Powers and Stevie Little in nearly every frame of this film, and the embarrassment of ED. All this and more on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need To See That!”

Episode 79 - Green Room (2015) - "Strictly Foreskin Heads"
On this weeks episode of the pod, brush up on your code language, find anything you can make a weapon and most definitely do NOT go back for your phone as we watched the 2015 thriller - horror film, “Green Room”. Join us as we discuss just how much research went into this movie by director and writer Jeremy Saulnier to ensure it passed the “Is it Punk enough?” Test. From pulling on his days in hardcore bands, to using his own bands songs in the film this movie puts you right in the crusty, white supremacist filled basements to a downright uncomfortable level. And that’s before all the visceral machete violence begins. Plus, we discuss aging as a man who doesn’t watch sports, tales of the crappy college band shows of yore, and honestly how much are nazis just a bunch of fucking fascist fashion nerds? This and more on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need To See That!”

Episode 78 - The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years (1988) - "The Party's Over"
This week on the pod, we’re traveling back in time and heading west to soak up all the cocaine, booze and tits that 1988 LA has to offer as we watched the documentary “The Decline of Western Civilization Part 2: The Metal Years”. While admittedly neither of us are that impacted by the genre of hair metal (Let alone alive at the time to bask in it’s scarf and leather laden glory), you still can’t help but admire the sparkle in the eyes of the young musicians and fans at the center of this film all doing their damndest to express themselves and follow their dreams. Join us as we marvel at what a mixed bag of characters this subculture at the center of this film appears to be. While at times the 80’s metal scene comes across as a place of rampant misogyny, unreported sexual assaults, alcohol abuse and bands that all sound the same; what does eek through is the genuine passion and an earnest “go for broke” mentality that sits in the spirit of everyone involved in this film. Sure, some are in it for the girls, the money, the fame; but in between the debt, divorces and broken dreams, for 25 minutes on stage each night, these people are gods. Plus, concert regrets, debating whether we’d go vegan or decaf first, and God Bless Lemmy. Are you ready to Rock, on this weeks Episode of “I Didn’t Need To See That!”
