ruggero deodato

It has been two years of A Cure for the Common Craig. And it stands to reason that the show could eventually lead to an apocalypse of some sort. So we may as well begin to accept that responsibility, by kicking off year three with the APOCAVERSARY! Can you think of a better way to celebrate, than by featuring an apocalyptic mess of an 80s action trash movie? Futuristic punk gangs from 1994, decapitation, a crystal skull mask, a sunken nuclear sub, people being burned alive, lasers, a helicopter battles a bus, and Atlantis rises from the ocean depths! We put Severin's Blu-ray release of Ruggero Deodato's Raiders of Atlantis (1983) to the AMASS OR MURDER test. And then from there, Nicole's level of desensitization is put on display, as we have a little more fun with Fulci and IMDb's parents guide to violence and gore.

Well this can be a bit of a rough one, but we take a look at Cannibal Holocaust, one of the most controversial movies ever made.  The movie definitely isn't for everyone, but to be fair probably neither are we, anyway we have a great time breaking it down.

Andy and Lucas give this classic film of Ruggero Deodato's, Cannibal Holocaust, a watch and review in this episode.

In 1979, intent on venturing into the vast and unexplored areas of the virgin Amazon rainforest, a small American film crew attempt to make a documentary about the region's indigenous cannibalistic tribes, only to disappear without a trace. As the noted anthropologist, Harold Monroe, and his team of seasoned guides embark on a rescue mission to locate the missing documentarians in the heart of the Green Inferno, fearful tribes that no white has ever seen before will soon start to take interest in them. Inevitably, as the professor unearths more evidence about the fate of the film crew by sheer luck, a desperate battle to recover the raw footage that was paid in blood will commence--after all, the world must know the savage and unspeakable atrocities captured on the riveting unedited footage. In the end, what has really happened to the overambitious explorers, and the shocking final two reels? Written by Nick Riganas
