IFWT #113 - The Zodiac Killer (1971)

Mar 06 2025 67 mins

Yes, yes. David Fincher's film Zodiac may be the definitive film covering the Zodiac killer, but what it cannot boast is the title of the only film made with the sole intention of capturing an active serial killer, which Tom Hanson's 1971 thriller The Zodiac Killer can.

IFWT #112 - Psycho Sex Dolls (2025) [ft. dir David Wilde]

Feb 20 2025 92 mins

In October 2023 we invited Scottish indie filmmaker David Wilde on to the show to talk about his influences, his background in film and, most tantalisingly, the next project he was working on. On this week’s episode, we’re talking about that very film: Psycho Sex Dolls. We’ll ask David all manner of questions regarding the films plot, its characters, themes and all the fascin

Feb 13 2025 68 mins

We're dipping our toes into our very first dive into the world of sword and sorcery, as we take on John Boorman's 1981 classic Excalibur - a favourite of our guest, Cesare Augusto, of the terrific film podcast The Rad Revival House.

IFWT #110 - The Black Dahlia (2006) [ft. James Ellroy biographer Steven Powell]

Feb 06 2025 95 mins

Over the last few months, we’ve had author and James Ellory biographer Steven Powell on the show to discuss both the man himself, and the cinematic adaptations of his work. We’ve talked about Cop & L.A. Confidential, but today we’re getting to possibly the most divisive film born from Ellroy’s work: The Black Dahlia. Based on the infamous murder mystery from 1947, the

IFWT #109 - 10 To Midnight (1983)

Jan 30 2025 71 mins

We're back for another year at IFWT! And for our inaugural episode of the year, we're diving into the Charles Bronson sleaze-fest for Cannon, 10 to Midnight. Ebert may have called this film 'garbage', but is it so bad? Is it reactionary? These are questions that are raised in this appropriately fun episode that deals with a film that has maybe the most ludicrously i

IFWT #108 - Christmas Evil (1980) [ft. Bonkers Ass Cinema, Flixology 101 & Scott West]

Dec 24 2024 109 mins

And so we come to the end of 2024, and in the spirit of the holiday season we’re getting some good friends together, cracking open a few delicious drinks and breaking down a cult classic. Christmas Evil may live in the shadow of its more notorious younger cousin Silent Night Deadly Night, lacking its controversy or increasingly ridiculous follow ups, but we’re out to prove tha

IFWT #107 - L.A. Confidential (1997) [ft. James Ellroy Biographer Steven Powell]

Dec 19 2024 99 mins

We've arrived at the penultimate film in our James Ellroy adaptation series. And luckily for us, we're joined by author of Love Me Fierce In Danger: The Life of James Ellroy, Steven Powell, as we take on Curtis Hanson's 1997 masterpiece(?) LA Confidential - a film that many believe that have been robbed of the Best Picture Oscar by James Cameron's disastrous romance behemoth Titani

IFWT#106 - Aspen Extreme(1993) [ft dir. Patrick Hasburgh and Flixology101]

Dec 12 2024 103 mins

For this episode, we’re bringing on filmmaker Patrick Hasburgh to discuss the little known but highly regarded 90s ski flick Aspen Extreme. It’s name might not mean much to you, but to the citizens of Colorado it’s a beloved icon and, for each successive generation, a rite of passage. Centering on the friendship between T.J. and Dexter, 2 Michigan locals who leave behind the

IFWT #105 - The McPherson Tape/Alien Abduction [ft. dir. Dean Alioto]

Dec 05 2024 101 mins

It's not often we get to sit down and discuss cinema with a person who created an entire genre - the found footage horror film! But here we are joined by the director of The McPherson Tape, Dean Alioto. Dean takes us through the completely insane life that the film took on, including rumours that Dean himself was a government operative, and that The McPherson Tape(then UFO Abductio

IFWT #104 - Cop (1988) [ft. James Ellroy biographer Steven Powell]

Nov 28 2024 97 mins

We’ve always loved diving headfirst into the world of seediness, crime and social degradation on this podcast, and this week is no different. We’re taking a look at the world of James Ellroy, the Demon Dog of American Crime fiction. In particular, the adaptation of his novel Blood On The Moon, Cop. Lloyd Hopkins is, say it with me now, a hardboiled, no nonsense detective that�
