This month, Sam and Jason welcome producer Heather Buckley (The Ranger, The Sacrifice Game,Blood and Flesh: The Reel Life and Ghastly Death of Al Adamson, amazing special features on the blu-rays you love for the past fifteen-plus years) to discuss the Paul Verhoeven film Flesh + Blood. It’s a wild and expansive discussion about the most violent and upsetting film ever named after a Roxy Music album that covers a lot of ground and fords some surreal technical issues.

Our guest Heather Buckley’s most recent production, The Sacrifice Game, streams on Shudder in North America next week.

This month’s bibliography includes the books Jesus of Nazareth by Paul Verhoeven, Paul Verhoeven Interviews, and Paul Verhoeven by Rob Van Scheers, the television show Black Adder, as well as the following films: Alexander (Stone), Baise-Moi (Despentes/Trinh Thi), Death in Venice (Visconti), The Devils (Russell), The Devil’s Honey (Fulci), Excalibur (Boorman), Lancelot du Lac (Bresson), Little Mother (Metzger), Monty Python and The Holy Grail (Gilliam/Jones), Poison Ivy: The New Seduction (Voss), Sauna (Annila), The Trilogy of Life (Pasolini), and Vice Squad (Sherman).
