THE SOHO CINEMA CLUB

SATAN'S SKIN vs BEAST IN THE CELLAR - A Double Bill Battle!

Taking their cue from actual 1970s cinema double-bills, the SOHO team look at two of the U.K's TIGON tales of terror, 1971's BLOOD ON SATAN'S CLAW (a.k.a SATAN'S SKIN) and BEAST IN THE CELLAR (a.k.a. THE CELLAR). Yes, this was a real double bill, and we have the Quad poster in our cinema to prove it. Listen now and find out what gets Jared so excited about SATAN'S SKIN, what Sean found so creepy, why Miles insists on referencing Jerry Lewis and Peter Sellers and if you truly believe two old spinsters should get away with murder! More fun cinematic chit-chat from the three musketeers of celluloid criticism.

Worst Movies Ever Made - MIGHTY PEKING MAN (1977)

In this episode our SOHO CINEMA CLUB team of cinephiles Miles Flanagan and Jared Carlson sit through what may be the worst movie ever made. Or at least one of them. The epically titled, and six million dollar budgeted MIGHTY PEKING MAN. Released in 1977 to cash in on the KING KONG craze, due to the 1976 Dino De Laurentiss remake, this low budget Shaw Bros. feature film has to be seen to be believed. Or at least heard! Hong Kong filmmaking apes Hollywood with a glamorous jungle girl, monster-suited mayhem, animal cruelty and some really sloppy make-up. Thankfully our intrepid team watch the film so you don't have to. See what they have to say, find out more about the making of the film and discover whether or not this is truly cinematic garbage. And why. Enjoy!

Worst Movies Ever Made - SLAPSTICK OF ANOTHER KIND (1982)

This episode our SOHO CINEMA CLUB team of cinephiles Miles Flanagan, Nick Chomicki and Jared Carlson sit through what may be the worst movie ever made. Or at least one of them. Starring an amazing ensemble of A-List comedy stars - Jerry Lewis, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Orson Welles and Jim Backus (to name but a few) - and based on the comic political novel "Slapstick" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the question is "How could this movie possibly fail to be funny?" Our intrepid team watch the film so you don't have to. See what they have to say, find out more about the making of the film and discover whether or not this is truly cinematic garbage. And why. Enjoy!
