The People Under the Stairs scared the absolute crap out of me as a kid. I remember watching it when I was, like, 7 years old. Yeah. Huge freaking mistake.

Also, I feel the need to add that Oliver does NOT sound like an 18 year old xD

Good suggestions overall, except that Vertigo is a boring mess, famous only because it's famous. The plot is silly, the characters are overdone but played seriously, and there's hardly any suspense. I left it running but went on to something else about halfway through. If people haven't seen many Hitchcock movies, start with Psycho, Rear Window, and Dial M for Murder.

I like Rear Window the best because there's an Everyman character who gets pulled into a seedy mystery in his own back yard, kind of like Blue Velvet.

Great episode and a fantastic choice for a guest. Oliver's movie knowledge is just amazing for his age. Thanks for educating me!

When i heard Pete mention Rubber on the podcast and saying that it's a strange movie with strange humor, I paused the podcast right away and watched the whole movie from begining to end and.........I LOVED IT! What kept me interested the whole time was the weird humour. Sure the movie had no point, but that WAS the point. Nothing had a reason. "No fucking reason". But also I can see why some people don't like it.

I also just finished watching A Serbian Film and...WOW. This is truly the most fucked up movie I've ever seen. I saw the 98 minute version so I guess I missed the most grusome parts. But it was still screwed up. I mean there was necrophilia, pedophilia, raping of a newborn("It's new genre. Newborn porn.") and literally skullfucking. That one review was right. The Human Centipede really is like The Carebears compared to this.

Speaking of The Human Centipede, I really have to disagree with Oliver on this one. I thought it was a well made suspensful horror film, with an interesting premise. Dieter Laser was awesome in his role as the doctor, but I wouldn't say that he was the only reason to see the movie. Full of cliches, sure, but an interesting watch nonetheless. Not so sure about the sequel though. haven't seen it yet, but I doubt I'll like the movie as much as the original. But i still wanna see it. It's one of those movies that pushes the limits of cinema, that's why it's a must see. And thankfully the third film will be the final one. And after that, 15 years later, maybe Six will make a prequel trilogy. With Jar Jar Binks...

There are a few horror films that I wanted to mention that weren't mentioned on the podcast.

How about Lars von Trier's Antichtist(2009). That movie also has some pretty disgusting moments in it, but unlike some previously mentioned movies, the violence isn't it's main focus. Avoid the film if you don't like artsy films, because the plot is really kind of thin. Antichrist really has only 3 chracters(and one of them dies in the very beginning) so it'll make you feel kinda isolated. I'd recommend it, I liked it. Oh, and just a warning. The opening shot of the movie is a close-up of William Dafoe's cock going into a twat and out again in slow motion. You've been warned.

Next, how about Mum and Dad(2008). It's a British horror film that's about some pretty screwed up parents and their screwed up children, who lure a young woman,who happens to be an immigrant, into their house. And in that house they'll start torturing her and treating her like she was one of the children. The dude who plays the dad character, Perry Benson, does a fantastic job at being one creepy fuck. And the other actors handle their roles pretty well too. Another great film.

Of course I can't go on without mentioning David Lynch's Eraserhead(1977), which just happens to be my favorite movie of all time. Again a very artsy and disturbing film(at least for its time). I recommend this to any horror fan.

And one movie I feel needs to be mentioned is The Devils Rejects(2005) by Rob Zombie. I consider it one of the best horror movies of the last decade. It has a lot of dark comedy, great characters and awesome music. Check it out!

And what was the name of that anime horror film. One of them was Wicked City, but what was the other one?

And one more thing i need to mention is that, I really don't get Johnny's hate towards the Mario Kart series. And I know it's been said before, but Capcom is doing the exact same thing with Street Fighter. Actually Capcom is even worse. While Nintendo releases one Mario Kart(a different game every time) per system Capcom pumps out a trillion different versions of the same game. There are slight alterations, but it's the same fucking game.

HOLY SHIT! This is a long post. Well, no need to make it any longer.
