Filmed Obscura
Horror and thriller fans gather around. We invite you to listen as we watch two obscure horror/thriller movies a month and then BLOW YOUR MIND with our thoughts, opinions and insight on the films. Sometimes thought-provoking and informative but mostly ludicrous and fun, Filmed Obscura is your gateway into rare, obscure, hard to find and just plain awesome films (except one-you'll see). We also drink local beer. Thanks for listening. Hosted by Justin Adkins and Chris Herdter.

Episode 62
Welcome to the end of summer folks. Booo that...but to help ring in your Labor Day weekend, the boys are back with the fourth episode of the new season. It was Justin's pick this time and he went with the original Japanese gore film: Jigoku (aka The Sinners of Hell). This film is arthouse to the max and may not be for everyone. Justin wasn't shy to note that he was NOT in the mood for it when they watched it on the very pretty Criterion disc, but it carries a gravitas of beautiful imagery and powerful messaging that shouldn't be missed. It's also quite gory for the time. Now is a good time to grab that Asahi Extra Dry and dive in to Jigoku! Happy Labor Day to all and enjoy!
