Description

(Content Warning: The second half of this episode contains discussions of suicide)

It’s time for Unwatchables to dive into some REALLY nasty stuff with an assist from Tom Davies, writer and podcaster for http://AVForums.com. Jörg Buttgereit’s infamously gross cult horror film Nekromantik defied state censors with its gruesome yet empathetic look at necrophiliacs (and the women who love them!), while his follow-up The Death King is an experimental anthology film about murder, suicide, and castrating Nazis (and not so much the women who love them). Are they merely gut-churning provocations, or is there more than meets the severed eye?

You can find more from Tom at http://AVForums.com⁠.

Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

On Unwatchables, two movie enthusiasts tackle the films that have been deemed “difficult” or, for one reason or another, just plain Unwatchable. From extreme horror to punishing art films to notorious box office flops, they’ll test their limits and try to pin down what separates the art from the trolling. (Or maybe just see if Marc can break Seth.) At the end of each episode, we answer the same question: If you could, would you Unwatch this? Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus. Find us at unwatchablespod.com.
