This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm diving into a double-dose of foreign horror with 2015's Baskin from Turkey and 2016's The Wailing from South Korea. Fair warning: this episode was the product of two failed recording attempts, ungodly heat, and a killer thunderstorm. It was not meant for the land of the living.

On this episode of the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast the Cancer Man and I discuss two films featuring distinguished British actors going wildly against type by playing Nazis: 1998's Apt Pupil and 2016's Green Room.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm bringing my Satanic month full-circle by returning to witchcraft in cinema. On deck are two films considered by Mark Gatiss to be part of a "folk horror" movement in the UK: 1968's Witchfinder General and 1970's The Blood on Satan's Claw.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm continuing on my exploration of Satanic Cinema with two offerings from Roman Polanski: 1968's Rosemary's Baby and 1999's The Ninth Gate. And since Roman Polanski is a...controversial figure in the history of cinema (what with the time he drugged and raped a 14 year-old girl) I'll be revisiting an old yet still evolving conversation about the cognitive dissonance that results from admiring the art of a terrible human being.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm joined by Dynamo Marz and Johnny Wolfenstein of Trick or Treat Radio. Our topic today is two Korean-born men who managed to overcome racial adversity and rose to the top of their chosen calling in Japan.
First up, we have Mas Oyama - founder of Kyokushin Karate, inspiration for the Street Fighter character Ryu, and subject of the 2004 biopic Fighter in the Wind.
Next we have Rikidozan, perhaps the most influential pro-wrestler who ever lived and, appropriately enough, the subject of the 2004 film Rikidozan.
Finally, I'll be dropping some important information concerning the future of TWoRP. You'll want to hear this folks.
