This week on chaos in podcasting The Iron Sequel I am joined by Aaron and Carlee from the Hit Factory Podcast. Hit Factory is a podcast that focuses on the politics and films of the 90s, the decade in which I CAME ALIVE! It was a true pleasure to talk in depth about growing up in the decade and the media that helped shape us as people. I was fortunate enough to stumble across Aaron and Carlee when I was close to closing my Twitter and their humour and outlook on life made me rethink my decision as it has been great getting to know them both. 

Please check out Hit Factory as they have covered some incredible films with fantastic guests and can be found wherever you get your podcasts. This will be my first monthly episode moving forward as it is so much more manageable and gives me time to prepare and edit with some breathing room. Enjoy!

This week on the most chaotic podcast on earth I am joined by my dear dear friend Mr. Andrew Taylor Carr. Andrew was my first ever guest on The Iron Sequel and his choice of film could not be any more different! It was great to catch up and see how his podcast 'Sons of Selvedge' is getting on. 

Most importantly we talked at length about the podcast that helped make us into the budding cinephiles we are today, The Gentlemens Guide to Midnite Cinema. We owe a lot to Will and Sammy so was nice to reflect on the glory days.

This week I am joined by Dr. Adrian Smith from The Wild Wild Podcast. Adrian is an Italian genre fanatic like myself. His podcast covers sub genres of Italian madness over a series. He has just finished his series on The Iron Sequel favourite the Poliziotteschi. 

We gushed over Rome and meeting Luigi Cozzi and a little concerning discussion surrounding collector fandom and how it's getting a little out of hand. 

FYI I have been plagued by internet Gremlins of late so more than once there is a small stutter. Apologies.

This week I am joined by Bill Ackerman from the Supporting Characters podcast. Supporting Characters is part of the Now Playing Network and Bill's guests range from writers through to producers and fellow podcasters. The roster of guests Bill pulls together is nothing short of spectacular if you're a fan of every aspect of film. I initially reached out because we have had quite a few crossovers in terms of guests. 

As someone still fairly new to the podcasting game it was wonderful to hear how Bill puts his episodes together and actually gets industry types onto his show. It was a really special chat and if it wasn't for the extreme heat (and time zones) we could have talked for hours. Enjoy!

This week I am joined by Twitter buddy Giles Edwards. Giles happens to be a producer and has worked on two very well received genre films THE GIRL ON THE FLOOR and BROADCAST SIGNAL INTRUSION. It was great to get a sneak peek into how the industry works and how the past few years have impacted production of films. He also dispelled the myth that all producers are strung out madmen working 23 hours a day. 

Giles enthusiasm for film is deadly infectious and this is the longest chat I have had in sometime. Enjoy!!

Regular programming has resumed! This week I am joined by a true genre expert, a Cannon Films expert to be precise. Austin Trunick has just released his second book about Cannon Films this time covering the years 1985 through 1987. His books are a true source of EVERYTHING Cannon from interviews through to unseen images. Cannon has played a huge part in my film education from a very young age and to get to speak to a truly knowledgeable person on the subject was nothing short of a genuine treat. Give his Twitter account a follow for great pictures, lobby cards, anecdotes and more. 

We also gush over Fun City Editions yet again in the recent watches segment. This was an editing nightmare as I was convinced I'd forgot to record correctly!

Yes, you read it correctly. This is a one off solo episode about TOP GUN: MAVERICK. A film that has had a serious impact on me since seeing it on it's release. It's pretty much the perfect sequel and I guarantee everyone will have an amazing time with it. 

I just had to get this off my chest with a short free speaking episode. Enjoy!

This is week is the first of many "hang out" episodes in which I invite someone from social media circles to talk about film. First up is Dylan aka Balthazar Bee on Twitter. We share very similar tastes especially 70s cinema and when he was talking about todays pick on Twitter I had to extend an invitation.

This week I am joined by The Reverend Terry from VideoReligion.net. Video Religion is a love letter to trash, horror, genre and the most bizarre films you're ever likely to see. I first came across Video Religion browsing for specific horror images and stumbled across his blog which is a treasure trove of madness. His site also has reviews and links to other social media and folks he frequently collaborates with. It's a treat to just dive in!

This week I am joined by music expert and collector Tony Giles. I've been a fan of Tony's reviews and the open window into his collection and taste. He is also one half of the Tony and Scott podcast and has a YouTube channel called "The Record Room" in which he reviews albums, soundtracks and special picks from his collection. If you're not following him you're in for a treat when you just see how dedicated he is to the humble record. 

It's always pleasing when someone's journey into music and film is similar to my own and it was a great to finally get behind the mic together.

This week I am joined by British podcasting royalty. Jordan McGrath has been talking about film since time began and I was a huge fan of 35mm Heroes back in the day. He has also tried his hand at print with Verite film magazine and has recently been talking film with his wife on His Film Her Movie. The latter watches a recommendation from their partner and they talk about their opinions. They recently finished a Heist season which brought up some interesting picks. 

I was very nervous to talk about this weeks film as I explain on the podcast but Jordan was a wonderful guest who brought a real passion and knowledge to the discussion.

Very different feel to this weeks episode. No sequel, music, intros or recent watches but a chat with the author of 'Blood in the Streets' Dr. Austin Fisher. Austin is film culture historian covering the history and politics in cinema within the USA and Italy. I reached out with my usual email and Austin's response was to have an open chat surrounding the 'Poliziotteschi' and the 'Anni di Piombo'. 

I really felt I had to be on my A game for this episode but Austin was a delight to talk to and really helped flex my cinematic history muscles. Enjoy.

IT'S EPISODE 30! On this weeks episode I am joined by Troy and Brad from the Not a Bomb Podcast. Not a Bomb is kind of a spirit animal to The Iron Sequel in which the guys talk about films that were panned and or underappreciated. It's a wonderful listen with two guys who are passionate about their love of cinema. We also talked about how we've crossed paths over the years due to the GGTMC and subsequent podcasts. A really lovely laid back chat with two great guys and I can't wait to inflict a personal choice on an episode with them in the future.

On this weeks episode I am joined by my dear friend Rachael Nisbet. Rachel is one of the true leading voices on Giallo and Italian genre cinema and looks at the films from a fashion/architectural eye. Watching her career in writing through to podcasting and into the blu-ray release market providing commentaries and essays has been nothing short of a treat. Her Podcast, Fragements of Fear, also looks at some of the lesser celebrated Gialli with her co-host Peter Jilmstad. If you have bought a Giallo from Arrow or Vinegar Syndrome recently then the chances of Rachel providing some content is very high! 

Please enjoy our chat and maybe be a little patient as this is the first real time we've talked during our friendship so we go a little all over the place BUT you get a snapshot Morrissey impression from yours truly.

Never one to stop there she also is a writer for releases and hosts a podcast of her own. We had a really lovely chat even with her film of choice which I was stupidly being cautious around.

If like me you're prone to a blind buy then look no further than Fun City as I guarantee you'll love the films

During lockdown he displayed his musical talent on his YouTube channel Low End Theory. 

We had a blast ripping apart the Woodstock 99' doc and talking about 80s excess and synth soundtracks.

Vinegar Syndrome is one of the finest distribution labels going and the staff have such a unique passion for genre cinema that shows in the films they release. Releases vary from exploitation, horror, giallo, monster madness and............the odd porno. If you don't know about the label then do yourself a favour and blind buy any release and I am 100% certain you'll be entertained. 

Myself and Jeff had a wonderful chat with Steven Seagal as the butt of most jokes and we also spoke of our love for 90s cinema.
