The Incredible Two-Headed Podcast: Recent Episodes
Aaron Lowe
Each week your host Aaron Lowe awakes to find his head grafted onto the body of another cinephile. Not in place of their head, just next to it. Together they are given a note with an oft-cryptic topic scrawled on it, and must each pick a movie to discuss that fits that topic. Who is doing this and why? Don't ask us, we just work here. This is... the Incredible Two-Headed Podcast!
Here it is almost May, so it seems like the perfect time to release an episode that was recorded way back in early January.
For this one, I sat down with friends of the show J. Carlos Menjivar and Rik Tod Johnson to discuss our favorite horror films of 2022, and a few other things as well. 2022 was a banner year for horror, so we had a lot to talk about.
Another one I've been keeping in the vaults. This episode was recorded way back in May, for what was originally intended to be a celebration of Christopher Lee's birthday month. You'll hear a few references to the date, to my plans for getting the episode out, and a few other things that aren't particularly timely right now.
Still, this was a fun discussion about a pair of movies I'd never seen before. So join us as we discuss The Magic Christian and Serial, two satires with small roles for Christopher Lee.
Welcome back to The Incredible Two-Headed Podcast, as I continue to clear out the backlog of episodes I've recorded but not uploaded. Keep in mind, during this conversation, that this was recorded almost 6 months ago at this point, so some of the things we talk about might be a bit dated.
But join me and Johnny D. as we discuss a pair of cult musicals, the wonders of Tubi, and I share an idea for a short film that probably should have remained buried in my teen years.
Look at that! Our second episode released on schedule! Things are looking up around here.
Joining me today is the inimitable Joey Clift, a writer/director/producer/performer whose work has appeared on Nickelodeon, Nerdist, Cartoon Network, and soon Netflix, among many others. Joey came by to discuss Prey, the new installment in the long running Predator franchise, as well as stuff himself with shredded cheese.
Joey can be found on twitter @Joeytainment, on instagram @JoeyCliiiiiift (that's six I's), and some of his work, including his short film Telling People You're Native American When You're Not Native is a Lot Like Telling a Bear You're a Bear When You're Not a Bear, can be found on vimeo by searching Joseph Clift.
We're back! Did you miss us?
That's right, we're finally posting our first regular episode of 2022. Although hold up, this isn't quite a regular episode, it's a special report! A coproduction with J. Carlos Menjivar and his Dial F For Film podcast! The two of us actually ventured into the real world and braved Monkeypox, Covid, and Los Angeles parking in order to see Lost Highway, newly remastered, and on the big screen!
As always, if you like this show and would like to hear more of it, why not rate/review/follow us wherever you get your podcasts. It really does help the show.
Welcome back, finally, to a brand new, format-breaking episode! Our first of the new year! For this episode I'm joined by Zeke Perez as we discuss some of our favorite music releases of 2021.
On a technical note, there was a bit of a learning curve on this one. It was a bit more complicated to record and edit than usual, which is why it's fairly late. But I think it came together nicely and I think it's a fun episode. And this is only part one! Join us again in a couple days when I upload the last half of this monster-sized musical episode!
Zeke Perez makes his long overdue return to help me close out the year by discussing a pair of stylish French films from the 80s.
First up is Jean-Jacques Beineix twisty Diva (1981), followed by Leos Carax's sophomore film Mauvais Sang (1986). Both films were part of a filmmaking wave that would come to be known as Cinema du Look, films that favored style over substance. But as you'll see, these movies provide plenty of substance to talk about.
An into the night adventure full of pigeon arsonists, body-building helicopter pilots, the threat of imminent nuclear destruction, eternal love, and more character actors than you can shake a stick at. Plus the return of Rik Tod Johnson for a very special episode.
Rik joins me this week to revive one of our long-dormant writing projects, in an episode that also doubles as a backdoor pilot for a potential spinoff podcast. We're talking Steve De Jarnatt's Miracle Mile, a film that flummoxed audiences in 1988. Were they right to reject this film en masse 33 years ago, or does this film earn its cult audience? Listen in to find out!
Returning champ J. Carlos Menjivar joins me today to discuss a pair of horror films from Mexico. Or at least, that was the initial plan, as it turns out the film I brought to the table wasn't a horror film at all, though it does deal with the supernatural.
Macario, from 1960, is a fantasy tale about a poor woodcutter who befriends Death. After discussing this fundamentally nice film, we drastically shift gears with 1977's Alucarda, an over the top film all about repressed nuns, demonic possession, and lesbian vampires!
J. Carlos Menjivar is host of the terrific Dial F For Film podcast, which can be found on the very same services you found this show!
We're back! Did you miss us?
Yes, the long national nightmare is over. After a month-long hiatus, The Incredible Two-Headed Podcast has returned with a brand new episode. This episode was recorded prior to October, and was intended to be the start of our Halloween series. We discuss the 2014 German oddity Der Samurai, and the 2017 Italian thriller Laplace's Demon. Along the way we also discuss a lot of the Halloween plans that never came to fruition, so go ahead and just ignore all that.
Starting with this episode the podcast will be moving to a biweekly format, to hopefully avoid these interruptions in scheduling.
We're back to finally wrap up Summer in the Shadows, and also ease into the October season. Joining us is returning guest Jacob Davison from the Eye on Horror podcast, here to discuss a pair of films that throw horror into the mix with film noir.
Up first, Jacob's choice, is Angel Heart, from director Alan Parker. We follow that up with my choice, Clive Barker's third (and so far final) film as director; Lord of Illusions.
It's the penultimate episode of our Summer in the Shadows series, and J. Carlos Menjivar is here to help us bring this baby home.
Together we discuss a couple of noir-infused films from Japan. First up is Akira Kurosawa's near-masterpiece Stray Dog, a very street-level view of post-war Japan. After that is Seijun Suzuki's gonzo crime flick Branded to Kill. Both great films, and I had a great time talking about them with Carlos.
You can, of course, find Carlos and his opinions about movies on the wonderful Dial F For Film Podcast, available from the very same service you found this podcast!
Old pal Rik Tod Johnson is back with us again as we near the conclusion to Summer in the Shadows.
He joins me for a discussion that is laser focused and tangent free. It's all noir all the time. Well, aside from the fact that our second film, Pennies From Heaven, isn't really a noir at all. But other than that we're on point. Well, aside from the long stretch where we discuss the films of Kevin Smith. Other than that, totally focused.
Oh what am I talking about. It's a rambling, random, tangent-filled 2 hours, as usual when Rik drops by. Come listen to us discuss the noir homage/spoof Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, and the depression era musical drama Pennies From Heaven.
Marianne L'Abbate from Make Mine Film Noir becomes perhaps the quickest return guest we've ever had to discuss a pair of pandemic-focused noirs from 1950. First up, Panic in the Streets from Elia Kazan, starring Richard Widmark, Paul Douglas, Zero Mostel, and Jack Palance. After that, The Killer That Stalked New York, starring Evelyn Keyes, William Bishop, and Charles Korvin.
It's a couple hours of lighthearted escape from the drudgery of our daily lives as we discuss a couple movies about deadly contagions!
Find Marianne and her writings at MakeMineFilmNoir.blogspot.com and you can follow the show on Twitter and Instagram @TwoHeadedPod
We're back in the shadows this week, for a special crossover event with J. Carlos Menjivar of Dial F For Film. Over on Dial F, Carlos it's been the Summer of Kubrick, which this week dovetails nicely with Summer In The Shadows as we discuss Kubrick's early, little-seen noir, Killer's Kiss.
To round out the episode we also discuss Orson Welles' troubled, frequently brilliant noir film The Lady From Shanghai.
Check out Dial F For Film wherever you get your podcasts. And follow the show online @DialFPodcast on twitter and instagram!
The heat continues, and so we rush back to the protective shadows to keep cool and discuss film noir. Today we've got a pair of films chosen by Marianne L'Abbate, from the terrific Make Mine Film Noir blog.
First up is The Dark Corner (1946) starring Lucille Ball, Mark Stevens, William Bendix, and Clifton Webb. We follow that with a discussion of Too Late For Tears (1949) starring Lizabeth Scott, Dan Duryea, and Don Defore.
Marianne really knows her stuff and it was fun to have her on to discuss these two films, and as you can hear, it's almost a requirement that she'll be back to discuss noir in the future. Make sure you check out her website Make Mine Film Noir by following the link.
It's a bit of an odd episode this week, as Rik Tod Johnson of the Cinema 4 Cel Bloc returns for an episode that is nothing but tangents and random musings!
There was a bit of a scheduling snafu this last few weeks, and rather than go another week with no episode, Rik and I got together for 90 minutes of mostly aimless discussion about movies, books, comics, Disneyland, the Fear Street trilogy on Netflix, and what type of alarm we use to wake up in the morning.
I just hit record and am no presenting to you that entire discussion, sans edits. Warts and all, no editing out awkward silences, all of those 'uhm's, or any of the times I get tripped up on words and reset the entire sentence.
Is it of any use to anyone? I guess we'll find out! Back next week with more of our regularly scheduled Summer in the Shadows series.
Summer is in full swing, temperatures are steadily rising. It's not quite the burning hellscape that it will become in August, but we can see it on the horizon. Jump back into the shade of Film Noir and keep cool with us as our #SummerInTheShadows continues.
Back this week is J. Carlos Menjivar, host of the Dial F for Film podcast, and he's brought with him a pair of melodramatic noirs from the great Nicholas Ray.
First up: They Live By Night, a very early entry into the 'lovers on the run' subgenre. Following that, On Dangerous Ground, which matches Robert Ryan's thuggish big city cop with Ida Lupino's gentle smalltown blind woman. Both are great, and we have a great time discussing them.
After listening to this one, be sure to check out the Dial F. For Film podcast, every episode is a winner.
Summer is here, the world is on fire, and to help you all stay cool we're sticking to the shadows this year. It's Summer in the Shadows here at the pod, as we begin our long series on film noir. Joining us today for the first entry is our old pal Rik Tod Johnson.
We're talking guns today, with discussions on the Alan Ladd/Veronica Lake hitman flick This Gun For Hire from 1952, followed by the highly suggestive Gun Crazy from 1950.
It's takin' care of business time here at the Incredible Two-Headed Podcast, and this week we've got a short filler episode to explain what's going on with the podcast these days. We've got big plans for the summer and we're previewing them here in a brief chat with our old pal Rik Tod Johnson.
After that, I threw in a little bonus deleted scene from last week's episode with Dolores Quintana. Our discussion about the self-censorship of streaming platforms led to a pretty interesting tangent about William Friedkin, The Exorcist, and the hypocritical morality of CBS procedurals. It was great stuff, but the episode was already going long and I figured we should just get to the movie discussion a bit quicker. So here it is now for your enjoyment!
We'll be back next week with a regular episode, the beginning of our Summer of Darkness series.
An episode months in the making! An episode so massive it took two weeks to edit!
Dolores Quintana (finally) joins me to discuss a pair of crazy nun dramas. Up first is Black Narcissus, from the incomparable team of Powell and Pressburger. After that we discuss Ken Russell's shocking, too-hot-for-Warner Bros portrait of the downfall of Urbain Ganier; The Devils.
This episode was a lot of fun to record, and we each had a lot to say, so instead of editing it down or splitting it into two, I'm just releasing the whole thing as one file.
Dolores Quintana is a writer whose works appear in Nightmarish Conjurings and Fangoria,
Johnny D. makes his triumphant, long awaited return to The Incredible Two-Headed podcast, bringing with him a topic, and a favorite movie.
It's all about stunts today! Stunt performers, impressive stunts, stunt-heavy movies, movies ABOUT stunts, we cover it all. Well, mostly we cover the 1978 Burt Reynold's comedy Hooper, and the 2007 Quentin Tarantino oddity Death Proof. But we talk about that other stuff, too.
You probably thought that our Master of May-nace series was going to end in May, didn't you? Well, you were wrong!
It's a special post-May wrap up for our monthlong tribute to the one and only Vincent Price! And joining me for this special meandering conversation are friends of the show J. Carlos Menjivar of the Dial F For Film podcast, and Rik Tod Johnson!
It's a particularly focused episode this time, as we talk about Vincent Price and nothing else! There are certainly no discussions about the viciousness of Moose, bloody SNL skits, or how we remember the word 'onomatopoeia.' Save those digressions for bonus episodes, we're laser focused on this one!
Here it is, the penultimate episode in our monthlong tribute to Vincent Price.
Bunnicula Blanc returns to the show to discuss a pair of movies from the year 1959, which was a busy year for Vincent. Up first his House on Haunted Hill, one of two successful collaborations with William Castle. Following that we discuss The Bat, another whodunnit which shares a lot of similarities with House on Haunted Hill.
Welcome back to our monthlong tribute to the Master of Menace, Vincent Price. It's the Master of May-nace month here at the Incredible Two-Headed Podcast!
One of the most well-known parts of Vincent Price's career was his string of Roger Corman directed adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories, and no discussion of his career would be complete without bringing up those classic films. So of course, we won't be discussing them today!
Instead, we're focusing on two films that tried, in one way or another, to piggyback off of the success of that cycle of films. Up first, The Haunted Palace, titled after the Poe poem, but in actuality based on the Lovecraft story The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. After that, we discuss the classic British horror film The Witchfinder General, which was retitled in America to The Conqueror Worm.
Welcome back to Master of May-nace, our monthlong tribute to Vincent Price!
Things are a little different this week, as we discuss three, count 'em three movies! And only one of them stars Vincent Price! What's going on?
What's going on is that we're discussing all three filmed adaptations of Richard Matheson's novel, I Am Legend. The first of those, The Last Man On Earth, starred Vincent Price as the titular last man. After that we've got Charlton Heston in The Omega Man, and Will Smith in I Am Legend.
Which film will come out on top? Listen on to find out!
J. Carlos Menjivar is the host of the Dial F. For Film Podcast, which you can find wherever you get your podcasts. You can also follow the show on twitter @DialFPodcast
Master of May-nace month begins here at The Incredible Two-Headed Podcast! Or, should that be May-ster of Menace? May-ster of May-nace? No, that's just silly.
Whatever you want to call it, it's our month-long tribute to the one and only Vincent Price! We've got a lot of movies to talk about so let's just jump right into it here, with returning guest Rik Tod Johnson. Together we discuss a pair of landmark films in Price's horror career, 1971's The Abominable Dr. Phibes and its sequel, 1972's Dr. Phibes Rises Again.

I'm back from my little mini-vacation and headed into the shadows. Just in time for summer, we've got an episode about film noir for your enjoyment!
Jessica Scott joins me to discuss one of her very favorite films noir, Detour, while I counter with twisted neo-noir Blue Velvet.

It's a special crossover episode with the Dial F. For Film podcast! Kaiju takeover culminates with this special roundtable with J. Carlos Menjivar and Rik Tod Johnson as we discuss the newly released Godzilla Vs. Kong, Legendary's Monsterverse, and all things kaiju and beyond!

On this, the second part of our Kaiju Takeover, I am joined by J Carlos Menjivar of the terrific Dial F For Film Podcast. We prepare for Godzilla Vs. Kong with a pair of movies that attempted to reboot the iconic titans for a new generation.
Up first is King Kong from 1976, starring Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges. After that we discuss Return of Godzilla from 1984, and we dip our toes into discussing the Americanized version of that film, Godzilla 1985.
Also over on Dial F For Film this week, you can hear the two of us discussing the original Gojira and it's American re-edit. What did I tell you? It's a Kaiju Takeover!
It's a kaiju takeover here at the Incredible Two-Headed Podcast, as we psych ourselves up for the Godzilla Vs. Kong premiere.
For week one of this three week event, Rik Tod Johnson returns to discuss some groovy kaiju silliness in The X From Outer Space and War of the Gargantuas.
For once, I'm not the one who brings up Twin Peaks!
On this ultra-brief little bonus snippet, Sir Hatchporch bond over our shared childhood fascination with horror movies, despite being a bit too scared to really enjoy them. Then we talk about the art of horror hosting, and a couple of people who are keeping the tradition alive and well.
Just a little tidbit to tide you over until our next episode.
Take a walk on the wild side as we venture down some poorly lit cinematic alleyways. Sir Hatchporch joins me to discuss a pair of disreputable action films, and all things grindhouse.
The main films discussed are 1978's Mr. No Legs (AKA Gun Fighter) and 1977's Death Promise (AKA Slumfighter). Along the way we take plenty of digressions and discuss our top five "grindhouse" films.
Sir Hatchporch can be found on Twitter @SirHatchporch, and you can find his film reviews on letterboxd at https://letterboxd.com/sirhatchporch/
Welcome to our first ever bonus episode!
Believe it or not, I do edit these shows, and sometimes when the episode is going what I think is too long, I have to cut some stuff out. Some of that stuff I still like, and I do regret losing it from the conversation. So when that happens, I'm going to be putting out these little bonus episodes.
I hope you enjoy this little lost snippets, where Cory and I talk about closure in longform entertainment, our varying levels of cowardice when it comes to horror, and I go off on another Twin Peaks tangent.
See you all on Friday for another regularly scheduled episode.
There's something rotten in Denmark, as returning guest Cory Pilawski and I sit down to discuss a couple of irreverent takes on Shakespeare's melancholy Dane.
We discuss all things Shakespeare on this week's episode, first with a discussion about the 1983 comedy film Strange Brew, and then a conversation around the 2008 satire Hamlet 2. After that, we give a bunch of further viewing recommendations if you're looking for more creative takes on the Bard's works.
Returning guest Zeke Perez shows up to discuss a couple of martial arts movies from the lands of Down Under. First up is the 2002 New Zealand comedy Tongan Ninja. After a brief break we come back to discuss the 1975 Australia/China coproduction The Man From Hong Kong.
This is just the first in what will hopefully be a string of martial arts themed episodes this year, so join us on the start of our world tour!
It's another plus-sized episode this week, as Rik Tod Johnson joins us for the big 2-0. It took twenty episodes to get Rik on the show, but I think you'll agree it was worth the wait.
Rik brings his vast movie knowledge to the table as we discuss a pair of films about making films. Or more specifically, films about chaotic movie sets.
Up first we discuss the almost-lost 1941 Universal picture Hellzapoppin', and we follow that up with a discussion of Richard Rush's elusive film The Stunt Man.

Friend of the show J. Carlos Menjivar makes it a three-peat this time as we discuss a pair of Japanese films offering a couple of wildly dissimilar views of the afterlife. First up is Carlos' pick; Jigoku, from director Nobuo Nakagawa. Followed by one of Aaron's favorite films of all time; After Life, from director Hirokazu Koreeda.

All the way from Scotland, today's guest-host-body is Ashley Sutherland, actor, life coach, and cohost of the great Choose Film podcast. Ashley and I had a terrifically fun conversation about a couple of serious movies, both centered around the theme of escape.
Ashley's up first with her choice, Room, from 2015, starring Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay. Aaron follows that up with The Shawshank Redemption, box office flop and perennial 'best movie of all time' according to iMDB users.
Ashley can be found on twitter @AshSutherland4 and on Instagram @AshleySutherland. Her podcast, which she hosts with Gary Hewitt (@HewittGPro) can be found on twitter @FilmChoose and Instagram @ChooseFilmPodcast. Follow all of that stuff, you won't regret it.
It's another plus-sized episode this week, befitting our special guest. Joining me all the way from Scotland this week is one half of the great Choose Film podcast, Gary Hewitt. Gary finds himself acting as my host body this week as we chat about a bunch of Man Vs. Machine films. This is actually the opening episode of a special two-parter, and I'll be speaking with his cohost next week.
Faced with this theme, Gary chose Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and I went with Upgrade. Both films are available for rent at most digital outlets.

Bunnicula Blanc plays host body today as we discuss a pair of Italian zombie movies that almost bookend the golden age of Italian zombie flicks.
Up first is Michele Soavi's Cemetery Man, or as it's also known, Dellamorte Dellamore (Of Death, Of Love). A darkly comic mix of zombies, sex, and Gilliamesque flights of fancy.
We follow that up with a discussion of Lucio Fulci's over-the-top gorefest, The Beyond (AKA Seven Doors of Death, though please don't watch the film if it bears that title, you'll get a highly watered down American version). The middle film of Fulci's seminal Gates of Hell trilogy, The Beyond is a singular piece of filmmaking from the acclaimed horror director.
This is another slightly longer episode, but we're talking about two movies we both have a great affinity for, so we had a lot to say.
If interested, you can follow Bunnicula on instagram @Bunnicula_Blanc and of course you can follow the show on twitter and instagram @TwoHeadedPod.
Also considering heading over to SaveOurStages.com and sending a little support towards any local venues that you care about and are missing during this international crisis.
This week's guest host body is Jacob Davison from the Eye On Horror podcast. Together we sit down and discuss a pair of found footage horror films. First up is J-horror staple Noroi: The Curse from director Koji Shiraishi. Then we follow that up with a discussion of Australian mockumentary Lake Mungo, from director Joel Anderson. And of course we finish up with our top 5s of the week.
Jacob's show can be found wherever you get your podcasts, and you can follow along @EyeOnHorror on twitter.

It's a special holiday episode this week, wrapping up our string of Christmas movies. Joining me today, as guest and host body, is my partner Amber Keplinger. They've been mentioned plenty times on the show, and they're making their debut today to discuss a few animated Christmas tales, old and new.

Together we discuss a pair of dark Christmas tales with some fairly dark interpretations of Santa.

And then we follow it up with our top five dark Christmas movies.
The movies discussed today are Rare Exports (which is available on many streaming sites, several of them free) and Krampus (which is not free, but is available for rental from most digital outlets).

Cory brings The Muppet Christmas Carol to the table, and I subject her in turn to a perennial favorite from childhood, Scrooged. We follow that up with a discussion of our go-to Christmas movies; movies we watch every single year around this time.

Aaron chooses the 2001 film Happiness of the Katakuris, from gonzo auteur Takashi Miike as his "monstrous" musical, while Zeke sticks closer to the topic at hand with the 2015 fantasy/horror/musical The Lure, from Polish director Agnieszka Smoczynska.

In this special Halloween crossover, Aaron is joined by and to J. Carlos Menjivar of the Dial F For Film Podcast. Together they watch a pair of not-quite-Nosferatu films of varying quality.
First up is Nosferatu in Venice, a sorta-but-not-really sequel to Werner Herzog's 1979 film Nosferatu. After that the pair discuss George Romero's is-he-or-isn't-he vampire film Martin. One of them is a classic movie, the other is a movie as well.
This is a followup to the most recent Dial F For Film Podcast, in which Aaron and Carlos discuss four classic vampire films. You can check out Dial F For Film on right here on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts. Give him a follow on Twitter and Instagram @DialFPod

This week Aaron finds himself cohabitating with his pal Zeke Perez. The secret word of the day is Scarecrows, and they each settle on a pair of films to discuss. Dark Night of the Scarecrow and Scarecrows, to be exact. A made-for-TV shocker and a direct-to-video shlocker, but each featuring murderous men stuffed with straw.
