This week we bring you another Vintage episode! I covered the 1964 film ONIBABA with special guest, Ian of CULT CONNECTIONS podcast.

While her son, Kichi, is away at war, a woman (Nobuko Otowa) and her daughter-in-law (Jitsuko Yoshimura) survive by killing samurai who stray into their swamp, then selling whatever valuables they find. Both are devastated when they learn that Kichi has died, but his wife soon begins an affair with a neighbor who survived the war, Hachi (Kei Satô). The mother disapproves and, when she can't steal Hachi for herself, tries to scare her daughter-in-law with a mysterious mask from a dead samurai.

New episodes air in SEPTEMBER!

This week I bring you a vintage episode from nearly 3 years ago - when I discusses the film FREAKS - directed by TOD BROWNING- with my good friend Mike Jones!

When trapeze artist Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova) learns that circus midget Hans (Harry Earles) has an inheritance, she marries the lovesick, diminutive performer, all the while planning to steal his fortune and run off with her lover, strong man Hercules (Henry Victor). When Hans' friends and fellow performers discover what is going on, they band together and carry out a brutal revenge that leaves Hercules and Cleopatra knowing what it truly means to be a "freak."

We have a special appreciation for this film, subscribe today!

New episodes resume in SEPTEMBER! See you then!
