413: Experiment in Terror [1962] Movie Discussion

We all know director Blake Edwards here at Spoiler Filled more for his crazy comedies, but he does have a few extra things tucked into his bag of tricks. Things like the neo-noir Experiment in Terror, a surprisingly effective thriller from 1962. (Yeah, we thought it was gonna be a horror movie too) This time around we discuss: how to better explain to someone you work with mannequins in your apartment, whether we have ever seen realistic physical therapy portrayed in a movie made before the 90’s and how do they expect us to take the villain cross-dressing as an old woman seriously.

412: Freddie as F.R.O.7 [1992] Movie Discussion

Some of us here at SFFCH LOVED this film when we only had small, not fully formed brains decades ago. Somewhere over the years, the memories faded and it was lost to obscurity. But this week, like a terrible repressed memory, this film claws it’s way back to the surface and we must deal with consequences it brings. Freddie as F.R.O.7 is a baffling animated film that dares you to try and comprehend some of it’s wacky decisions, decisions that include: an unexplainable anthropomorphic frog car that’s in love with the main character, a Loch Ness Monster musical number, the use of the worst pop songs available in 1992 and using more stereotypes in one film than we have ever seen before.

411: The Small World of Sammy Lee [1963] Movie Discussion

This week we turn the big eye of SFFCH on The Small World of Sammy Lee, a British crime dramedy from 1963 about a cheeky chancer and his desperate attempts to raise a lot of money in a short time to not be beaten to a pulp. Will he succeed or succumb to his brutal fate? Come and find out in our discussion involving: being surprised at the production value of a strip club, wondering whether ‘background actor in a striptease’ is the best job in the world, pondering what happened to all that cool smoking that used to happen in films and lots of us all not understanding gambling.
