Psycho Hypnosis Ecstasy Part 1 (1985) and Female Criminal Ten-Handed Punishment (1994) with Two in the Pinku
Dead Formats welcomes back Dakota and Chris from the Two in the Pinku for this very strange episode. They discuss Psycho Hypnosis Ecstasy Part 1 (サイコ 催眠 エクスタシー Part 1), Psycho Trip Ecstasy (サイコ・トリップ・エクスタシー), and Female Criminal Ten-Handed Punishment (女犯十手裏仕置). The first two are part of an erotic hypnosis series created by JAV legend Tadashi Yoyogi and the second is a surprisingly well-crafted Edo period noir action film from King Records.

Guyver: Dark Hero (1994) with Nerds, Geeks, and the Kitchen Sink
Dead Formats is joined by DK and Chris from Nerds, Geeks, and the Kitchen Sink to discuss Guyver: Dark Hero (1994), the often overlooked direct-to-video sequel to the Mark Hamill cult classic, The Guyver (1991). This film has an amazing practical effects pedigree, ridiculous fight choreography, and stars Solid Snake himself, David Hayter, in his first film role. American tokusatsu at its finest!

The Hellstrom Chronicle (1971) with Brantley and George
Chris is joined by Brantley from Horror Drafts and George from The Best Little Horror House in Philly to discuss the 1971 Oscar-winning, apocalyptic horror, pseudo-nature documentary The Hellstrom Chronicle (1971). They discuss the ethics of documentary filmmaking, how the Academy often gets things wrong when it comes to documentary features, and the current state of docs as an art form. Is The Hellstrom Chronicle really even a documentary? Is it an outright comedy or a subversive commentary on the power of rhetoric and the dangers of following charismatic personalities? Which bug is the grossest? One thing's for sure, this episode is "throbbing with obese sexuality" and you won't want to miss it!
