#017 - Tex Avery: Of Mice, Wolves, Bunnies, Squirrels… and Men
Lusty wolves, sadistic squirrels, neurotic pigs… This week on the podcast, we're diving into the gleefully deranged universe of Tex Avery. If it was Disney who built the church of animation, it was Avery who spent his whole career slinging eggs at it. As a creative force, Tex Avery didn't care about character, didn't care about plot, didn't even really care about the rules of cinematic continuity. He cared about one thing and one thing only: landing the laff. We trace the evolution of t...

#016 - Hardcore Auteurism: The Films of Gerard Damiano
As we kick off our second season, we're tackling the bizarre and beguiling career of the filmmaker who built one of hardcore cinema's most serious and ambitious bodies of work. A Navy veteran and Queens hairdresser turned director, Gerard Damiano is regrettably best remembered today for the adult film that became a controversial cultural touchstone of the 1970s, Deep Throat (1972). But across the so-called "porno chic" boom of that decade and into the '80s, Damiano produced a run of lo...

#015 - Lino Brocka in the Claws of Melodrama
For our season-one finale, we dive into the blazing world of Filipino master Lino Brocka, a filmmaker whose furious, hothouse melodramas and searing social issue films feel every bit as lively and vital today as ever. From his unlikely path through poverty, missionary work, and theatre to a fiercely prolific film career under the Marcos regime, Brocka forged a politically charged cinema of desire, exploitation, and resistance that still isn’t nearly as widely seen in the West as it should be....

#014 - Poetry of Depravity: A Deep Dive into Nikkatsu Roman Porno
Wet lovers, sex hunters, tattooed flowers, feline nights… This week on the podcast, we're tackling Nikkatsu's Roman Porno line—the cinematic desire machine launched by one of Japan's oldest and most prestigious studios, which produced more than 800 softcore erotic films in the 1970s and 1980s. Operating under a set of rules that both constrained and contributed to artistic freedom, Roman Porno allowed many young and ambitious filmmakers, screenwriters, and cinematographers to develop their cr...

#013 - Jocelyne Saab’s Cinema of Ruins and Resistance
On the podcast this week, we're talking about Jocelyne Saab, a pivotal figure in the history of Lebanese cinema, whose pioneering work shifted between television reportage, documentary, ripped-from-the headlines popular cinema, photography, and gallery work across a career shaped by Beirut and the Lebanese Civil War. Her early films captured this upheaval, the Palestinian liberation struggle, and other crucial regional political happenings of the time with rare immediacy, while her later work...

#012 - Atıf Yılmaz: The Great Journeyman of Turkish Cinema
This week, Outskirts Film Podcast ventures into the catalogue of one of Turkey’s most prolific filmmakers, Atıf Yılmaz.

#011 - Edward Yang's Confucian Confusions
One of the undeniable masters of 1980s and 1990s cinema, Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang has only grown in stature since premiering Yi Yi at Cannes in 2000 and his untimely death in 2007. This week on the Outskirts Film Podcast, we revisit Yang’s seven films—drifting through Taipei’s glass office towers and bustling streets, tracing lives caught between intimacy and urban alienation—and set out in search of our own path through these dazzling formal labyrinths.

#010 - Santo and Outskirts vs. The Evil Cinema Canon

Spooky castles, mad scientists, mind-controlled zombies, sexy vampire women, and bravura international art heists: a whole, wide world of Santo - folk poet of lucha libre - awaits you.
