In this one I review multi-award nominated "The Man in the High Castle" and the disgustingly cool horror film "Excision."

I also make the announcement about how I am about to start having guests on the show talking films and TV with me. After over 100 episodes done by myself, I'm really excited about this!

This first tv show is quite good. It was written by Phillip K. Dick, author of the novel that spurned "Blade Runner." He is as renowned as Ray Bradbury in science fiction circles. It's a story of an alternate ending to WWII, imagining the Nazis and Japan won. How would the world be different. What results is a land of rebels, spying and sneaking in the Third Reich seeking a mysterious "Man in the High Castle." The rebels are assigned to bringing him films that appear to be propaganda showing America and her allies winning the war. There's a beautiful and talented leading actor Alexa Davalos. She is the prime rebel with two other actors holding supporting roles. It's a science fiction show, remember that. It looks historical and period but it's definitely science fiction. I am currently in S2 and I hope  it stays as engaging as it has been thus far. Some of the sci fi stuff is starting to reveal itself. So far I give it an 8/10.

"Excision" is a horror movie that premiered on "Shudder." In the spirit of "Ginger Snaps" it's a coming of age high school movie centering on an actor who has a sick and demented mind. One quirky thing about it is that Traci Lords plays the conservative mother. The movie has tons of blood and flesh. It contains, as I say in the podcast, one of the most disgusting scenes I've ever seen in horror. Even though it has a comedic element, this is creepy horror make no mistake. There is also a secondary element in this girl's mind of sex. Put them all together, along with her desire to be a surgeon, and you have "Excision," a darned messed up film and I loved it. I give it a 9/10.
