The Six and a Half Feet Under Podcast, affectionately known as the "Six Point Five," offers enlightening, informative and possibly profane discussions about B-films as art, entertainment and social barometer. Author Jeffery X Martin hosts this monthly show, with a rotating panel of experts and some surprise guests. It's thought-provoking entertainment for film lovers, schlock apologists and movie mavens of all kinds.
In this short but insightful interview, Director of the Knoxville Horror Film Fest, William Mahaffey talks about some of the machinations of running a film festival, what movie first scared him and what Knoxville can do to become the Next Big Thing.
What happens when you combine four geeks, liters of alcohol and questions from the listening audience? A giant mess, pretty much. But not one of those horrible messes that you have to wait until the next morning to clean up; one of those okay giant messes that just looks people had a good time and, oh look, there's Ricky's shirt. We thought he lost it. THAT kind of big mess.
So, if you wanna get a little messy, join X and his guest panel of guests (Mike Maryman, Corey Graham and Mark Scofield) as they answer real questions sent in by their listeners and drink real large quantities of booze.
It's the six point something or other.
Join X and his guests Jamie D. Jenkins, Iris Walters and Cootie as they have a frank, raw and raucous discussion about the place of gays, women and fat guys in horror, action and science fiction films. Is "fat guy" really a sexual stereotype? It is now, kids. Shove this into your earholes and thank your political correctness later!
This time on the sixpointfive, X talks with James Branscome and Billy & Fisty about the sub-genre of Italian horror known as the Giallo. It's a high-level discussion about some low-brow movies. They discuss what a Giallo is, favorite films and actors, and most importantly, who has the best bush. If you are offended by pubic hair, or graphic discussions of pubic hair, it may be best for you to avoid this episode.
