Not Suitable For Anyone

Not Suitable For Anyone

By Patrick Anderson

A podcast about obscure, micro-budget, under-appreciated, or simply inappropriate films. Whether it's horror, sci-fi, dark comedy, or just an all-around genre-bending film, it's fair game. Join me for the latest news and updates in the underground film community, along with great conversations with filmmakers, writers, and fellow podcasters where anything goes!

Episode 49: Corpse STDs, Imposter Syndrome, and Bad Medical Advice - with special guest Tony Coffman

Please welcome Tony Coffman (@tonycoffman on Twitter) to the world of podcasting as he joins me to discuss one of the best horror debuts in history, Excision. Ricky Bates Jr's first movie is a hauntingly beautiful coming of age tale told in that quintessentially Ricky Bates Jr way. He has a truly unique voice in cinema and really succeeded out of the gate.

Excision is available on Amazon Prime, free with ads a number of services, and on VOD: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/excision

Episode 48: The Impossible Gold Ninja Teddy Bomb -- featuring filmmaker & rescuer Justin Decloux

Justin Decloux joins me to chat a bit about his experiences as a filmmaker and as a blu ray distributor in a digital world. Please go check out his site, GoldNinjaVideo.com and peruse his titles. He's got a little bit of everything that anyone could want, from his original films Teddy Bomb (which Leigh Whannel shamelessly ripped off) and Impossible Horror, to future cult classics like Flesh Freaks, Personal Space Invader, and Dinosaurs in a Mining Facility.

If you're a digital guy, check out Teddy Bomb online at http://www.teddybomb.com/ and Impossible Horror at https://impossiblehorror.com/ and give these awesome films a watch!

Episode 44: "Work hard, say 'damn' a lot" and more advice from Josh Stifter

Ok, this week I have an update on some previous crowdfunding projects I mentioned, including the successful conclusion to Fat Fleshy Fingers on Kickstarter!! This week's project is a GoFundMe from the filmmakers behind Silent Shadow, Yolit Rios (on Instagram @yolitsvisionary) and Gary Jay (on Instagram @garyjayjr): (Silent Shadow short: https://youtu.be/q4iFFk6PT8M). They're raising money for a new western short with a black lead. Link below, and I'm trying to get them on the show.

Also covered, briefly, is the trailer for Animosity, the first film from Brendan Steere. He actually won awards for this film at Buffalo Dreams way back in 2013, but it's only now getting released thanks to the smash hit that was The VelociPastor. I also go on a rant about Michael Epstein (https://twitter.com/MichaelJEpstein) sending me down a rabbit hole of obscure 80's rock musicals (titles and links below)

Episode 41: 15 Things You Didn't Know About Rotting Flesh (featuring Éric Falardeau)

I'm back, albeit a bit late because I took some time off over the Memorial Day weekend. But tune in to hear me ramble on about The Mitchell's vs The Machines, which surprisingly turned out to be the perfect movie for me about how weirdos making strange homemade movies will save the world. GO WATCH IT!!

My guest this week is Éric Falardeau. Please visit him at https://ericfalardeau.com/ or on Instagram @Thanatofilms. His debut film, Thanatomorphose, chronicles a young woman who's body begins to decompose while she's still alive. It's extreme, disturbing, gross, and upsetting. And it's also the subject of a fantastic region free Blu Ray release from Tetrovideo: https://tetrovideo.com/shop/thanatomorphose-bluray-edition/


I also plug Arrow Player for the second week in a row. It's really great, so check it out at  https://www.arrow-player.com/, sign up for a free 30 day trial, and use promo code THRESHOLD for 50% the first month after that!

Episode 33: Hosts (available on Shudder!) with co-directors Adam Leader and Richard Oakes

Hosts (with an 'S') just dropped on Shudder and is a wholly original, wholly independent, mean spirited, disgusting, gory, psychological Christmas horror. It immediately fell into the 'must watch' category for me. In fact, barely a half hour or so into this, I was on the phone texting my friends and insisting that they fire it up. And, of course, this has the potential to be confused with the singular 'Host' which took the quarantined world by storm in mid-2020. A bit of unfortunate timing Hosts creators, but for better or worse they stuck w/ the title that carried throughout their project (and actually carries multiple layers of meaning).

And far from being a knock-off, Hosts goes in a completely different direction as a claustrophobic home-invasion thriller. It also leaves the broader world and 'bad guy' motivations as enough of a mystery, with clues along the way, that let you piece together the story on your own. It's a fantastic ride, and a great pickup by Shudder. Please check it out and then give Adam and Richard a listen. What they managed to pull off on only a $20k budget is, frankly, fucking impressive and we should all be looking forward to their next project!

Episode 32: Laid to Rest & Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 with Luke Rodriguez

Episode 32: Laid to Rest & Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 with Luke Rodriguez

It's pre 2010, and WHAT the FUCK even IS the INTERNET? Let's be honest, the "story" in the Laid To Rest franchise (does two movies constitute a franchise?) is secondary to the writer/director's primary vocation: special effects. These films basically act as a sizzle reel for Robert Hall's brilliant practical effects work. An industry professional, Hall's credits include horror and sci-fi TV shows like Buffy, Angel, The X-Files, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (where he seems to have recruited much of the Chromeskull series cast like Thomas Dekker and Brian Austin Green), and films like Quarantine, The Crazies, and the Paranormal Activity movies.

Joining me on this journey is legendary podcaster, and one half of the brilliant Modern Horrors podcast, Luke "the Juke" Rodriguez (yes, even when the show was briefly me, Luke, and Jake Parker, Luke was still a full half of the show). I'm honored that Luke decided to emerge from his seclusion for his first podcast in months, and he didn't disappoint. He's full of great information and fun reactions to a ridiculous, but highly entertaining series of films. Be forewarned that there's no deeper meaning at work here .. it's just carnage for carnage's sake. And that's, frankly, just fine because it's so superbly executed. Check out Luke's website, ModernHorrors.com. Completely fan supported and ad-free with their Patreon, so please check it out. He's also on Instagram or Twitter @ModernHorrors.

You can spend way too much on a foreign mediabook, or you can watch both films for free on TubiTV. Part 2 is also available via an Amazon Prime subscription.

Hey everybody! Thanks for coming back for another year of Not Suitable For Anyone. I'm really excited to bring you my top 20 list of movies that most people missed last year. So I got drunk and basically just said a few words about each film. Hopefully it's not too boring. Not in any particular order (other than the order I talk about them), the movies discussed (many of which will hopefully become episodes) are:

  • Butt Boy
  • The Pale Door
  • Anything For Jackson
  • Porno
  • Feedback
  • Sadistic Intentions
  • A Good Woman Is Hard To Find
  • Rent-A-Pal
  • The Swerve
  • Bit
  • Alive
  • Archons
  • Dreamland
  • Vampire Virus
  • M.O.M. Mothers of Monsters
  • Barney Burman's Wild Boar
  • The Dare
  • Peripheral
  • Kindred Spirits
  • Dead Dicks
  • Lake Michigan Monster

I'm too lazy to link them, so just go to JustWatch.com and see where you can find them! And hopefully I'll get a guest lined up for next week.

Episode 17: Tonight She Comes featuring Matt Stuertz

No, it's not the song by The Cars. Matt Stuertz wrote and directed an epic horror comedy mashup called Tonight She Comes that is equal parts The Evil Dead and Friday the 13th ... but throw in 20% American Pie and 1000% more period blood and you start to get an idea of what makes Matt come. It's extremely bloody, extremely funny, and extremely inappropriate for all audiences. If you thought the My Bloody Valentine remake featured a whole lotta labia, strap yourself in and crank the volume for Tonight She Comes because things just got weird.

Catch up w/ Matt .. he's @MattStuertz at both Twitter and Instagram. The movie is available super cheap, or in some cases for free, at the usual sites: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/tonight-she-comes. No US blu ray yet, but there are some European discs floating around. Keep an ear to the ground b/c I'll definitely be talking about this one again once that happens.

And be sure to tune in next week for the start of a very special series that is one week late in the making because I am a complete fucking idiot!

Episode 16: Rondo featuring returning guest Drew Barnhardt!

Episode 16: Rondo featuring returning guest Drew Barnhardt!

Drew Barnhardt was one of my very first guests back in what are now the 'early days' of Not Suitable For Anyone.  He took a chance on me back when very few people I was contacting, Drew included, really knew who I was or what I was about. So it meant a lot to me when he agreed to come back for a second round on the show to talk about Rondo. This film was actually my first introduction to Drew's work, and I enjoyed it so much that I sought out his first film, Murder Loves Killers Too. To this day, MLKT remains one of my all-time favorite slashers, but Rondo will always hold a special place in my heart. It's combination of artful filmmaking with absolutely absurd story-turns and downright filthy dialogue absolutely tickles my depraved sense of humor. Rondo is the kind of movie that revels in depravity while telling a story with some of the most ridiculous caricatures of people I've ever seen. No, it doesn't feel grounded in reality, but who really wants that anyway?

Please look for Rondo on DVD (try https://grindhousevideo.com/products/rondo-dvd?_pos=1&_sid=56ab4909f&_ss=r) or for digital rental or purchase pretty much everywhere (https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/rondo).

Murder Loves Killers Too is also available on Amazon Prime (https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/murder-loves-killers-too) and on DVD (https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Loves-Killers-Allen-Andrews/dp/B001Y44DVS/).

Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not mention Stephen Romano's fantastic artwork (some of which appears in the show's thumbnail). He's definitely worth a look, as is his fantastic book Shock Festival: http://www.stephenromanoshockfestival.com/#

Episode 14: One Cut Of The Dead featuring CinemaSins' Jeremy Scott!!

It's not often you get to talk about one of your favorite movies with one of your closest friends, but I managed to do just that AND get it all on tape for you lovely people. One Cut Of The Dead is one of the most unique and original movies to come along in years, and if there is one person on the entire planet that loves this movie more than me, it might just be Jeremy. It's the kind of movie that just gives us that nice warm feeling down in the cockles of our hearts, and we had an absolute BLAST sharing our favorite moments, asking each other questions, and just laughing hysterically at stuff in the movie, as well as our own insane lives.
It's my first podcast with a fellow movie fan, and, while I always love speaking with writers, directors, and actors, I think I may work a few more episodes like this in because it was just so damn fun to geek out about stuff and get wasted for an hour. Oh yeah, did I mention we're drunk? Because we're fucking lit in this episode, so there's a lot of rambling and other non-sense too. I hope you enjoy it.
Jeremy Scott is the author of The Ables series, which features The Ables, Strings, and Currents, all available on Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Jeremy-Scott/e/B00QHA7M30?
Unfortunately, Shudder's Steelbook of One Cut Of The Dead appears to be out of stock, but a few copies of the Third Window Films Blu Ray are still available from Arrow video: www.arrowfilms.com/product-detail/one-cut-of-the-dead-blu-ray/TWFBD043
It's also widely available for rental or purchase (https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/one-cut-of-the-dead) and via subscription to Shudder (no, I don't have a discount code yet but Craig Engler, let's talk 'mmkay?).

Episode 13: Patrick's #BYOBoxedSet Adventure

Episode 13: Patrick's #BYOBoxedSet Adventure

Disillusioned with a barrage of social media posts about Shout Factory's Friday the 13th Boxed Set, I tried to think of ways to share my feelings on the subject without just complaining or shitting on F13 fans ... In fact, I have no real problem with Friday the 13th, I just had no interest in giving more money to Sean Cunningham's company  for continuing to wring nostalgia from the teat of a franchise while trying to cheat the original screenwriter out of fair compensation. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Use the money that might have gone toward the boxed set and, instead, spend it on low budget, indie genre films! Brilliant! So that's what I did, and I decided to dub it #BYOBoxedSet (as in "Build Your Own Boxed Set"). It was a lot of fun, and I might do the same thing the next time a big viral boxed set gets popular! 

Please join me as I talk in more detail about this journey and my reaction to these films (some of which I have yet to see, and some I saw for just the first time). And please show these films and filmmakers some love!

Briefly, the movies covered include:

Nov 04, 202001:09:36
Episode 12: #1 Serial Killer featuring Koji Steven Sakai (Writer) and Stanley Yung (Director)

Episode 12: #1 Serial Killer featuring Koji Steven Sakai (Writer) and Stanley Yung (Director)

This is my  most personal episode to date because no film has spoken directly to me in recent years as much as #1 Serial Killer by Asian-American filmmakers Stanley Yung and Koji Steven Sakai. There is strikingly little Asian-American representation in horror (and film in general). In fact, this low budget affair, #1 Serial Killer, was the first-ever film to feature an Asian-American serial killer. When Asians leave their native countries and emigrate to America, we have a tendency to blend into the landscape resulting in a certain invisibility. While understandably different--and seldom, if ever, as tragic--than the forms of racism perpetrated against other marginalized communities, stigmatizing and stereotyping are nevertheless dehumanizing behaviors.

I'm thankful for the discussion and really hope you all get something out of it as well. And please check out the movie #1 Serial Killer, available on DVD (https://www.amazon.com/1-Serial-Killer-Tzi-Ma/dp/B00UHJ7KI4) and VOD. Some sites may list it under it's original title (for example, see https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/chink), but in actual VOD outlets, it shows up under the current title (for example, on Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0107OQKIE

You can find out more about Koji's projects, including Santa vs Zombies, at his website, https://kojistevensakai.com/. He's currently filming The Commandos, an action film starring Mickey Rourke and Michael Jai White. Stanley is currently developing a number of projects as well. These are both ones to watch in the future!

Episode 9: Eat Me featuring Jacqueline Wright

**CW/TW: Suicide, self-harm, sexual assault, depression. If you are contemplating suicide or self-harm, please call the suicide hotline in the United States at 1-800-273-8255, or visit suicide.org to find help in your country. **

HOLY COW am I excited for this episode or what! Eat Me is an amazingly powerful film from experienced playwright and stage actress Jacqueline Wright. We are all truly blessed by her decision to bring both her writing and acting talents to the screen, as she stars in this very small cast. The premise is relatively straightforward. A suicidal woman and a violent home intruder test the limits of human endurance and the boundaries of forgiveness over the course of one torturous night. The result is a single-location home invasion nightmare with shocking, visceral violence and jaw-dropping performances. 

I first came across Eat Me when I reviewed it for Modern Horrors back in 2018, and got acquainted with Jacqueline not long after that when I interviewed her around the time of the movie's release. Links to the review and that original interview are below. I'm so glad I had a chance to catch up with her again, so we could look back on how much the world has changed in just a few short years, and how the film may be received differently now. But it's message is just as poignant as ever. 

You can find Eat Me to rent or purchase on most digital platforms, and on DVD from Amazon. Links are below. You can also find Jacqueline online at @jacquelinewrite

Episode 8: Interplanetary featuring Chance Shirley

Episode 8: Interplanetary featuring Chance Shirley

The NSFA Podcast takes a trip to East Hollywood (a/k/a Birmingham, AL) to visit with the one and only Chance Shirley. He and his production company, Crewless Productions, have released a trio of genre films, including Hide and Creep, For A Few Zombies More, and today's film: Interplanetary.  Promising monsters and mayhem 40 million miles from earth, Interplanetary follows the misadventures of the men and women employed by Interplanetary Corporation as they live and work on Mars in the year 2182. It's a delightful sci-fi office horror comedy, that feels a bit like Office Space meets Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Be sure to check it out (easily available on Amazon) and stay tuned for an upcoming blu ray release!

Episode 5: Murder Loves Killers Too featuring Drew Barnhardt

Episode 5: Murder Loves Killers Too featuring Drew Barnhardt

Murder Loves Killers Too is one of my favorite titles of a movie ever. Drew Barnhardt's first feature is a low budget, high effort love letter to that intersection of films where slashers meet Barry Lyndon. It's filled with ambitious set pieces, practical effects, one-shots, and musical montages, not to mention a heavy does of wry, absurdist humor. 

Unlike last week's film, this one is much lighter. It's a fun watch for slasher fans, with some dumb humor and smart camera work. There's really not much to spoil here, so you can probably get into the episode and still have a good time watching it, but either way please check this film out and support it. You already have access to it if you're an Amazon Prime user in the US.

Drew's second film, Rondo, is also well worth a watch, and will be the subject of a future episode.

Check out Murder Loves Killers Too on VOD or DVD. https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/murder-loves-killers-too

Episode 4: Our Evil

Episode 4: Our Evil

After back-to-back interviews, it's back to just me alone at the mic. Patrick's on an island with my favorite Brazilian horror film, Our Evil.

Our Evil is a small, Brazilian horror film that I discovered from Luke Rodriguez over at Modern Horrors. It's from first-time filmmaker Samuel Galli, and everytime I watch it I come away even more impressed. It pushes some boundaries with torture scenes and a character study of a real sick bastard. A lot of the movies covered on the show up until now have been more lighthearted, but this one is H E A V Y. 

It's also quirky in that it does include several dramatic tonal shifts. Another example of something that couldn't possibly have come from the studio system because it breaks too many "rules." But in this case, I think it works to tell a really dark, depressing tale in a more palatable way. This movie unfortunately got zero press coverage when it was released in the states, and still doesn't have a US physical release, which is a damn shame. But check it out on Amazon prime or VOD outlets. I think you'll find it worth your time. https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/our-evil

Lastly, drop me a line .. @NFSAPod or @FinHorror on Twitter, or notsuitablepod@gmail.com. Let me know how you heard about the show, or if there's a movie you want me to cover!

Episode 3: Camera Obscura featuring Aaron B. Koontz (writer/director)

Episode 3: Camera Obscura featuring Aaron B. Koontz (writer/director)

Aaron B. Koontz's latest feature, the horror-western mashup The Pale Door is available in theaters and digital platforms NOW. He also produced and co-directed an anthology feature called Scare Package which you can stream right now on Shudder. But his first film, Camera Obscura, is absolutely phenomenal in its vision, ambition, and blending of dark, morbid, and comedic tones. It also features an amazing cast, including Christopher Denham, Nadja Bobyleva, Catherine Curtin, Noah Segan, and Chase Williamson.  Check it out on Amazon or Blu Ray: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0721CLG99/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r

Episode 2: Molly -- featuring Writer/Director Thijs Meuwese

Molly is probably, dollar for dollar, the best superhero movie no one's ever heard of. But it's time for that to change. It's Turbo Kid meets Hobo With A Shotgun on the Fury Road. The action is rough and messy, the dialogue is zany and delivered with bizarre pizazz (legit, one of the characters didn't speak English and learned her lines phonetically), and the set design is fantastic and flawless ... And that's before we get to the final 30 minute long set piece one-shot! This is a unique, ambitious film that more people definitely need to see.
