This April was the great Roger Corman’s centennial, so what better time to finally discuss his work on Eros + Massacre. Writer, artist, programmer, and friend of the show Klon Waldrip joined me for an epic conversation about Corman’s…

March 6, 2026 · 2 hr 13 min

I haven’t yet had a chance to talk about New German Cinema on Eros + Massacre, though episodes on Rainer Werner Fassbinder and key figures from his group of collaborators have been high on my list. I could never pick a single favorite…
Eros + Massacre Episode 26: The Best of 2025

January 30, 2026 · 1 hr 33 min

I missed this podcast so much, but finishing a book while keeping on top of my commentary deadlines has been brutal. The episode title — as some of you have probably guessed — is a bit deceptive. This is all about my favorite new-to-me…
Episode 25: Telephone Terror with Erica Shultz

October 31, 2025 · 2 hr 4 min

Squeezing in one last special episode for the Halloween season, this is another subject I’ve been dying to talk about since I started Eros + Massacre. Erica Shultz was kind enough to join me to discuss about a series of ’70s and ’80s…

Kenji Misumi's Sword Trilogy with Curtis Tsui

August 27, 2025

This is an extra special episode near and dear to my heart, since Kenji Misumi has become one of my favorite directors, largely because of the Sword trilogy. Though his name may be unfamiliar to many of you, you have likely seen a few of…

July 9, 2025 · 1 hr 48 min

Chicago film programmer John Dickson, from the Oscarbate podcast and film collective, joined me for another wild discussion of Jess Franco's spy/detective films. This time we're talking about most of the movies in his Red Lips series…
