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 that it’s a film that’s more than worth a viewing this December. Complex characters, interesting themes and a wealth of behind the scene stories make it perfect for a festive In Film We Trust deep dive. So chuck a few logs on the fire, pour yourself an eggnog and join us in welcoming our good buddies Phil DeGlass, Matt Rotman and Scott West onto the show to round out the year. Merry Christmas everyone.

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 Titanic.

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 their dull jobs to become ski instructors in Aspen, Colorado, where the bond that holds them together will be tested like never before. We’ll talk to Patrick about not only the film itself, but also the strangulations of the studio system, his TV work, which includes the hit show 21 Jump Street, and the wonders and frustrations of writing. But because 1 guest simply isn’t enough, we’re also bringing back our good pal Phil from Flixology101, a diehard Aspen Extreme fan, to share his experiences with the film. So don your thick coats, grab something colourful from the bar, and let’s get this party started.

Yeah, this episode goes that crazy. so buckle in, space folks, this is a fun one!

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’s not afraid to bend the rules. Not only are we dissecting the movie, as is our custom, we’re also speaking with an expert on all things Ellory, Steven Powell, author of Love Me Fierce In Danger, the first biography of this titan of the literary world.So light up a cigarette, grab a cup of coffee and lets get down to business.

We’ve been on a bit of a hiatus these last few weeks, but we’re back now for more discussin’, dissectin’ and deep divin’. In our episode on The Wild One we talked about the teenage rebelliousness and ‘Whadda ya got’ attitude of the 1950s, and this week we’re talking about the teenage apathy and ‘who cares’ attitude of the 1980s. Joined by a good friend of the podcast, Scott West, we examine this overlooked study of adolescent angst, examining its central plot, it’s characters, the conflicts they’re going through and the real life circumstances that encouraged our guest to suggest this film to us in the first place.So grab yourself a beer, round up your supposed friends and light up some Feckweed.

This week we turn our attention to 1953's The Wild One. A film so influential it not only spawned an entire film genre, but also influenced a whole youth movement. And surprisingly, in 95 episodes of this podcast, this is the the very first time we feature a Marlon Brando picture!
We were also lucky enough to have the participation of our friend Newman from the Movies 4 Dayz podcast, and Phil of the terrific website Flixology 101.

Considering the 2 of us live in a rural area, it seems appropriate that the next film we’re covering takes place deep in the forest. And what woodland area could possibly be spookier than that of Ontario, Canada? That’s right, this week we’re taking a look at not just a new horror film, but a new horror sensation. In A Violent Nature comes from first time feature length director Chris Nash, and it follows, quite literally, a killer brought back from the dead and seeking bloody vengeance on, what else, an unsuspecting group of campers.Its pacing and central conceit have deeply polarised audiences, with some calling it fresh and innovative while others have deemed it slow, artsy and pretentious. What do we think of it? Light up the campfire and we’ll tell you all about it.

After spending a week in the mysterious rooms and winding corridors of The Overlook Hotel, then 7 days in the seedy clubs and dive bars of Los Angeles, we felt a little homesick. So upon returning to the welcoming damp and drizzle of our native Scotland, we decided to take a look at a film set in our homeland, and for that, we selected Neil Marshall’s survival action horror cult classic Dog Soldiers. With author and fellow film lover Matt Rotman (@Bonkersasscin ) accompanying us, we’re venturing out into the wilderness of Luxembourg, sorry, Bonnie Scotland, where we chat about the director, the actors, the story, the practical effects and the place it maintains in contemporary cinematic history. Don your camouflage, grab your gear and let the mission begin.
