    Sep 11 2024

    On Episode 28 of our show "Grindhouse Pizzeria" which is dedicated to all things encompassing various Grindhouse, Drive-In, and Exploitation genres; we will be taking on and dissecting what we here consider to be one of the all time great exploitation flicks with 1982's "Basket Case". Directed by Frank Henenlotter (Brain Damage, Bad Biology and Frankenhooker) and starring Kevin VanHentenryck. It's a gruesome and ghastly tale of a young man and the formerly conjoined and murderous twin brother that he carries around in a wicker basker around 1980's NYC! This savage story of Duane and twisted brother Belial even spawned two infamous sequels. Our discussion is headed off by our regular hosts Tom Komisar and Cameron Scott! Join the two of them as they take a deep dive dissection of this gritty exploitation effort! Come on in at the Grindhouse Pizzeria, pull up a chair, and grab yourself a slice!

  • Take Out Edition - "Trauma"
    Sep 4 2024

    We bring you the 14th episode of our specialty show "Take Out Edition" where we will explore the realms of foreign cinema. Our hosts will take you along their travels all over the globe while diving into some of the most lucid storytelling, savage cannibals, vengeful spirits, sadistic killers, and post-apocalyptic zombie-plagued landscapes. Join us as we dissect the classics that prove sometimes fear comes with subtitles. Our hosts, author and filmmaker Cameron Scott and filmmaker/musician Thomas Berdinski, take you on yet another Italian voyage on this episode with the 1993 Dario Argento directed "TRAUMA". Trauma stars Asia Argento, Christopher Rydell, Piper Laurie, Brad Dourif, James Russo and Frederic Forrest. It's not quite a slasher and not quite a Giallo, and all of a murder whodunnit shrouded in mystery that is "a new dimension of fear." Cinema Degeneration welcomes you to enjoy some Take Out while we explore the misadventures of Aura's search for the murderer who killed her parents and the price she'll have to pay for the answers! Join Us!

  • Without Warning - "Friday The 13th Franchise"
    Aug 28 2024

    Welcome to an altogether new show here at Cinema Degneration we are calling "Without Warning." The theme for this show is unlike any other in our lineup. Hosted by Cinema Degeneration CEO Cameron Scott and his co-host, author, voiceover artist, and host of 'The Diabolical Index' Korey Dawson. The theme is simple: Scott calls Dawson out of the blue with no warning as to what the topic of conversation will be...without warning if you will. Scott will continuously test the overall skill and level of pop culture and movie expertise of Mr. Dawson with totally random topics including movies, literature, pop culture, music, art, comics and more. Dawson has absolutely no prior knowledge to these show topics and is going into the discussions totally blind. These shows are a hoot to record, and we hope as much fun for the audience to listen back to. The 7th episode show topic is on the most legendary of slasher franchises with the "FRIDAY THE 13TH FRANCHISE". Essentially you are all in for a deep dive discussion on the entire Friday the 13th film saga including the remake and Freddy VS Jason. We'll talk all about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Topics range from lengthy debates on favorite characters, most memorable kill scenes, theories and tidbits and trivia, everything about ole Jason Voorhees (including our favorite version of Jason), Mama and Papa Voorhees, Tommy Jarvis, Creighton Duke, Roy, Crazy Ralph plus more. Included in the festivities are various rants and segways into topics such as the the Road Warrior, Halloween and Jamie Lloyd (in relation to F13), Freddy Krueger, Cheech & Chong, Sherlock Holmes, She's So Pretty 1 & 2, Real Men, Phantasm and much much more. Join us!

  • Howling At The Full Moon - "Dollman vs Demonic Toys"
    Jul 9 2024

    On our show, "Howling At The Full Moon", we're going with something a little on the controversial side of things with a film that is highly contested by many Full Moon fans deep from within the Paramount days with our 35th episode and the 1993 effort "DOLLMAN VS DEMONIC TOYS." Directed by Charles Band himself and starring Tim Thomerson, Tracey Scoggins, Melissa Behr and Phil Fondacaro. Dollman vs Demonic Toys was the huge super-ultra-mega crossover flick that tied up some loose ends from Dollman, Bad Channels, and Demonic Toys. Some feel this was the greatest crossover event in the history of film and others...not so much. Join our discussion headed off by our regular hosts Cameron Scott and Full Moon enthusiast Dustin Hubbard as they debate and talk about their general love for this movie.

Ravenwolf Towers is a cautionary tale of what happens when you take a job at a mysterious hotel that plays host to a valecade of Full Moon characters including Mascaro the Clown, Ivan Ivanoff and hunter extraordinaire, a family of cannibals and the insidious Dr. Lorca. This feature began life as three episodes of a web series that is as of yet unfinished and then was edited down into this thrilling 80 minute feature. Discussion headed off by our regular hosts Cameron Scott and Full Moon enthusiast Dustin Hubbard as they take a deep dive into a dissection of this Gothic horror romp.
