Episode 3 - The Mary Whitehouse Experience

Episode 7 - Child's Play 3

Welcome back to The Nasty Cast On this episode we're joined by guest Rob Yeomans to discuss a controversial non-Nasty, Child's Play 3. This unassuming horror sequel was caught up in a media frenzy following the horrific murder of a British toddler by two school boys. Despite having no connection in any way to what happened, British tabloids and campaigners laid the blame squarely on the film, leading to a depressing re-run of the 80s Video Nasties hysteria. Despite their best efforts and subsequent claims, Child's Play 3 was never banned or censored in the UK. We take a look at the film itself, as well as the media storm that followed.

Episode 6 - The Funhouse

On this episode we're taking a look at Tobe Hooper's The Funhouse. From the director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this is a VERY tame horror that really didn't deserve the 'Video Nasties' label. Was it all down to a case of mistaken identity?

Episode 5 - Cannibal Holocaust

Welcome back to The Nasty Cast After our 4-part weekly introductory episodes, we're now moving to monthly releases as dive into the nasties themselves. And we're kicking off with perhaps one of the most notorious - Cannibal Holocaust. The film is as groundbreaking as it is infamous, featuring perhaps the first use of the 'found footage' gimmick, extreme fake gore, and even more extreme real animal cruelty. Does the film still stand up today, does the director's message and intent get lost among the blood and guts, and does it deserve its reputation?

Episode 4 - They Fought The Law, And The Law Won

In the early 1980s a battle began over the nation's viewing. The home video market was booming, and the unsatiable demand was met by a sudden influx of cheap, often explicit and violent films. The relentless press campaign against nasties started to have an effect, with police seizures and prosecutions increasing, while politicians on all sides worked to pass the Video Recordings Bill into law, which would forever change how films were censored and consumed in the UK Content Warning: Due to the nature of the material being discussed, some listeners may find some content may be offensive Host/Editor: Mark McManus Co-Host: Mark Adams Theme Music: Droppin Buckets by Nyck Caution - ⁠⁠epidemicsound.com⁠⁠ [https://www.epidemicsound.com/] Original Logo Design: Elliot Marriot - ⁠⁠linktr.ee/elliottt93 [https://linktr.ee/elliottt93]
