Subversive Cinema

By: Art Hall
  • Summary

  • There are a lot of films out there, so it's only natural that a decent amount of strange content exists. These are the films we examine. Each week, I sit down with a guest and we take a look a one of these weird, whacky, or downright wrong cinematic entries. Each of them has something about it that makes it special — I call it the "Subversive Sauce" — and that is recipe we try to break down. Is it scientific? Absolutely not. Will you learn things you didn't know? Maybe. Might you hear about films worth checking out? Most definitely. Tune in and see what the subversion is all about!

  • Subversive Cinema Trailer
    Jun 10 2021

    Coming July 30th to a podcast platform near you...

    A show about the weird, whacky, and downright wrong entries in cinema history. Join me, Art Hall, as I sit down each week with a guest to discuss a film and try to figure out its Subversive Sauce — the things that makes that film stand out.

    Sure, there will be spoilers about these films, but trust me, you will want to hear about these gems. Learn about these films with the show, then watch them for yourself and get the full experience. Heck, let me know what you think of them and if you have a subversive film to recommend drop me a line on Instagram.

    Subversively yours,

    Art Hall

  • All-American Murder (1991)
    Jul 31 2021

    A story about love, snakes, fire, and questionable police work.

    Listen in as me and my guest, Dan, drill down into the nitty gritty of this straight-to-VHS classic.

    Directed by Anson Williams (Potsie Weber in Happy Days) and written by Barry Sandler (a few things you've probably never heard of), All-American Murder follows Artie Logan as he tries the navigate life at a new college campus. Throw into the mix a sudden fling with the Dean's wife, questionable love-at-first-sight with campus queen Tally Fuller, and it would seem that Artie isn't making the best choices. When a fiery murder sets campus and police tensions ablaze (pun intended), Artie decides the only person who can crack the case is none other than... himself.

    Yep. Oh, and it features Christopher Walken at his best level of Walken while handling a hostage situation.

    This film is bananas and is available on Blu-ray. Hear about it here then get the film and see it for yourself. You will not regret it.

  • The Human Centipede (2009)
    Aug 6 2021

    A story about a doctor, his lovely Three-Dog, a dream, and the wonders of modern medicine.

    Listen in as me and my guest, Chris, dive into the dirty details of this polarizing work of modern-day horror.

    Written and directed by Tom Six (Human Centipede I, II, & III), the first entry into the Centipede triptych follows Jenny and Lindsay as they holiday in an unspecified area of Germany only to find themselves stranded in the woods on their way to a club. Enter Dr. Heiter, a dude with an O.R. in his basement and some pretty f*cked up ideas. Dr. Heiter "saves" the girls from a rainy night only for them to find themselves strapped to gurneys in his basement ready to be sewn ass-to-mouth to each other and a truck driver.

    Yeah. It's like that. The fun and adventure only get crazier from there!

    This film is equally horrific and gross, but nothing compared to its sequel (discussed later in this season). Find the trilogy on Blu-ray and see for yourself why people either love or utterly hate this film.
