Welcome to the episode 4 of Bede & Sam Vs. The Video Nasties. A podast on the Bede Vs. The Living Dead network where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Sam Inglis explore all the films that made the U.K. notorious and infamous Video Nasty list.
After tackling their first American film on the previous episode of the podcast, your hosts Bede & Sam go back into the well of Italian horror cinema for the next film from the DPP list. Not only is one of the big heavy hitters of the Video Nasties, it's also a higly influtential one from the horror genre's greatest filmmakers. For this episode, Bede & Sam take a look the legendary Mario Bava's 1971 proto-slasher film A Bay Of Blood.
What makes this particular episode special, is that your hosts have their fest ever guests on it. Joining Bede & Sam to discuss this Mario Bava classic, are first time guests returning guests Lindsay Wilkins (Schlock & Awe) and Matt Konopka (KillerHorrorCritic.com). Highlights include Lindsay & Matt explain now they became aware of the Video Nasty controversy, how A Bay Of Blood was precursor to the slasher sub-genre, dabating whether the film's a plot is a little too complicated, the scene that was homaged (or ripped off) in Friday The 13th Part II, what the film is trying to say on a thematic level, Sam's hatred of the ending and so much more.
