EPISODE 9: PERFECT DAYS
On this new episode of GHOUL ROULETTE we are drinking sangria in the park and feeding animals at the zoo, that’s right we are discussing Wim Wenders 2023 film Perfect Days. If you are anything like me, you may have seen what film we are covering and assumed this would be another discussion where Evan barely tolerated watching the movie, BUT NO, Evan really enjoyed this one and we BOTH had a lot to say about it! So what else did we discuss? Oh you know, usual stuff .like Halloween and elections and the nature of hope and how hard it is to record a podcast and various other inane stuff. It kind of ruled actually. Check it out, tell a friend, and you can find the list here! Next episode we are discussing a real dark one, The Cremator from 1969.

Ghoul Roulette Episode 8: ACT OF VENGEANCE (74)
WHAT HAS THE WHEEL DONE TO US NOW??? Hey y’all, welcome to Episode 8 of the Ghoul Roulette podcast! On this trigger warning requiring episode we discuss Act of Vengeance from 1974, a movie about a group of women training to enact revenge on sexual assault perpetrating men that somehow manages to be entirely exploitative. If you have questions about the term “the male gaze” this movie might clear those up for you. Other things are discussed including the new rerelease of The Devils, some recent Halloween shenanigans, the Iron Lung show coming up in Portland and, unfortunately, my farts. It’s a real whirlwind of an episode. The wheel chose film number 14 for next episode, Perfect Days from 2023!

Long Weekend? hey, you ain’t kidding! Welcome to episode 7 of your favorite depraved but sweet podcast GHOUL ROULETTE! On this episode we travel to the OZ of legend, that is the land down under, and talk about psychological environmental…thriller? yeah that works, Long Weekend! This was a new watch for me and I had some thoughts for sure, but warning, this movie is not quite as soul crushing as our usual so apologies to the sickos among you. Still, good convo with a ton of other random talk as well. I’ll be honest, I don’t wanna bog these notes down with too much more cause this post is running a little late but thanks for listening and please tell a friend.

Ghoul Roulette Episode 6: MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON
The wheel of pain has chosen a particularly light burden on this, the sixth episode of Ghoul Roulette. Marcel the Shell with Shoes On from 2021 is an almost unbearably cute and sentimental film, based on a series of youtube shorts. We are both kind of in the pocket for Jenny Slate and her ex who directs this movie seems ok I guess. As with most of the supposedly life affirming movies I choose, this one does have a hint of sadness. Nothing too heavy but there is some loss in case you are a lame parent like me and looking for something to watch with your offspring. My daughter LOVED it, but I could see some soft kids getting bummed out. I don’t think we discussed anything I need to link you to but you can always hit us up on Instagram or join our discord server. Our next film, as chosen by fate. is the Ozploitation film Long Weekend, which I have never seen but I am told is “rough’. Cool.

Ghoul Roulette Episode 5: THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK
Hey man, I’m not holding unless you are looking for another incredible episode of GHOUL ROULETTE! This week the wheel of pain has turned and landed us in 1971 New York, and it is dry out there y’all. It is The Panic in Needle Park featuring Al Pacino and Kitty Winn and of course a lot of really sketchy needle work.   Look, this is yet another grimy drug movie Evan is subjecting me to, but to be fair, this movie is really good. I mean, it is bleak and not for the faint of heart, but also really good. Next time we will be discussing Marcel The Shell with Shoes On so get in there and see it so you are ready! Also you can check the list here! Please tell a friend and come back next time!

Ghoul Roulette Episode 4: SUZUME
The light shines on this episode of Ghoul Roulette as we discuss one of Liam’s more life affirming picks, 2022’s Suzume! Hey friends, thanks for joining us again. This episode was recorded basically two weeks ago but as I am writing this I am mid Covid quarantine so like, you are gonna be just fine. Discussion here is pretty good though unsurprisingly Evan was a bit confused by this one. Nest episode will be The Panic in Needle Park so definitely come back and join us!   ok thanks for listening, please tell a friend, leave us a comment or review, and of course find us on Discord. Also, for future reference, here is the list we are working from. Ok thanks and bye!

Ghoul Roulette Episode 3: COCK FIGHTER (74)
Three episodes in and the WHEEL OF PAIN keeps turning. It’s your favorite cinema degenerates, GHOUL ROULETTE, back with a new episode about Cock Fighter, from 1974, starring the incomparable Warren Oates. Very sorry for the delay on this one; parent life got in the way, so this is a bit stale from when we recorded to now. But hey, you don’t listen to this jawn for current events, do you? Probably not. Hey, should I show Evan how to do this and make that lazy punk upload these episodes? Probably, right? Why am I doing all the work on his idea? Time for some restructuring of responsibilities, I bet. Anyway, episode is good and I think you will “enjoy” it or whatever. Remember, if you wanna keep up with the list you can head here! OK, thanks for listening and tell a friend! Peace.

Ghoul Roulette Episode 2: GHOST DOG THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI w/ Garrett Jansen
The WHEEL OF PAIN has lead us to a less painful road as we discuss Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai with friend of the show and charming gentleman Garrett Jansen . REMINDER: you can find our master list of the dark and the light here! For this episode we explore one of my choices, 1999’s classic crime, samurai, hip-hop movie Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai! Curious as to why I picked this movie for my life affirming list? Well, listen to the episode and find out why! Thanks so much to our buddy Garrett for joining and just being a joy of a guest. It’s nice to have someone on who laughs at our dumb jokes since we refuse to laugh at each others. I freaking love this movie and I was glad to get to discuss it. For those wanting to watch ahead, our next episode we will be talking about 1974’s Cockfighter, a movie I am told is great but I walked out of at an Ex-Fest because the animal violence was a bit much for me. NOW I HAVE TO WATCH IT ANYWAY, THANKS EVAN oK THANKS FOR LISTENING AND TELL ALL YOUR DEGENRATE FRIENDS PLEASE
