Ghoul Roulette

WHAT HAS THE WHEEL DONE TO US NOW??? Hey y’all, welcome to Episode 8 of the Ghoul Roulette podcast! On this trigger warning requiring episode we discuss Act of Vengeance from 1974, a movie about a group of women training to enact revenge on sexual assault perpetrating men that somehow manages to be entirely exploitative. If you have questions about the term “the male gaze” this movie might clear those up for you. Other things are discussed including the new rerelease of The Devils, some recent Halloween shenanigans, the Iron Lung show coming up in Portland and, unfortunately, my farts. It’s a real whirlwind of an episode. The wheel chose film number 14 for next episode, Perfect Days from 2023! Also you can check the list here! ok thanks for listening, and leave a comment or join the discord!  

Long Weekend? hey, you ain’t kidding! Welcome to episode 7 of your favorite depraved but sweet podcast GHOUL ROULETTE! On this episode we travel to the OZ of legend, that is the land down under, and talk about psychological environmental…thriller? yeah that works, Long Weekend! This was a new watch for me and I had some thoughts for sure, but warning, this movie is not quite as soul crushing as our usual so apologies to the sickos among you. Still, good convo with a ton of other random talk as well. I’ll be honest, I don’t wanna bog these notes down with too much more cause this post is running a little late but thanks for listening and please tell a friend. Cinepunx also has a discord server you can join and tell us what you love and what you hate about the show! Ok, well, have a chill week…OH WAIT, what movie are we doing next episode anyway? Oh no, don’t tell me it is Act of Vengeance aka Rape Squad! It is? Shit. YOU CAN CHECK THE LIST HERE!!

The wheel of pain has chosen a particularly light burden on this, the sixth episode of Ghoul Roulette. Marcel the Shell with Shoes On from 2021 is an almost unbearably cute and sentimental film, based on a series of youtube shorts. We are both kind of in the pocket for Jenny Slate and her ex who directs this movie seems ok I guess. As with most of the supposedly life affirming movies I choose, this one does have a hint of sadness. Nothing too heavy but there is some loss in case you are a lame parent like me and looking for something to watch with your offspring. My daughter LOVED it, but I could see some soft kids getting bummed out. I don’t think we discussed anything I need to link you to but you can always hit us up on Instagram or join our discord server. Our next film, as chosen by fate. is the Ozploitation film Long Weekend, which I have never seen but I am told is “rough’. Cool.

Hey man, I’m not holding unless you are looking for another incredible episode of GHOUL ROULETTE! This week the wheel of pain has turned and landed us in 1971 New York, and it is dry out there y’all. It is The Panic in Needle Park featuring Al Pacino and Kitty Winn and of course a lot of really sketchy needle work.   Look, this is yet another grimy drug movie Evan is subjecting me to, but to be fair, this movie is really good. I mean, it is bleak and not for the faint of heart, but also really good. Next time we will be discussing Marcel The Shell with Shoes On so get in there and see it so you are ready! Also you can check the list here! Please tell a friend and come back next time!  

The light shines on this episode of Ghoul Roulette as we discuss one of Liam’s more life affirming picks, 2022’s Suzume!  Hey friends, thanks for joining us again. This episode was recorded basically two weeks ago but as I am writing this I am mid Covid quarantine so like, you are gonna be just fine. Discussion here is pretty good though unsurprisingly Evan was a bit confused by this one. Nest episode will be The Panic in Needle Park so definitely come back and join us!   ok thanks for listening, please tell a friend, leave us a comment or review, and of course find us on Discord. Also, for future reference, here is the list we are working from. Ok thanks and bye!  

Three episodes in and the WHEEL OF PAIN keeps turning. It’s your favorite cinema degenerates, GHOUL ROULETTE, back with a new episode about Cock Fighter, from 1974, starring the incomparable Warren Oates. Very sorry for the delay on this one; parent life got in the way, so this is a bit stale from when we recorded to now. But hey, you don’t listen to this jawn for current events, do you? Probably not. Hey, should I show Evan how to do this and make that lazy punk upload these episodes? Probably, right? Why am I doing all the work on his idea? Time for some restructuring of responsibilities, I bet. Anyway, episode is good and I think you will “enjoy” it or whatever. Remember, if you wanna keep up with the list you can head here! OK, thanks for listening and tell a friend! Peace.

The WHEEL OF PAIN has lead us to a less painful road as we discuss Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai  with friend of the show and charming gentleman Garrett Jansen . REMINDER: you can find our master list of the dark and the light here! For this episode we explore one of my choices, 1999’s classic crime, samurai, hip-hop movie Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai! Curious as to why I picked this movie for my life affirming list? Well, listen to the episode and find out why! Thanks so much to our buddy Garrett for joining and just being a joy of a guest. It’s nice to have someone on who laughs at our dumb jokes since we refuse to laugh at each others. I freaking love this movie and I was glad to get to discuss it. For those wanting to watch ahead, our next episode we will be talking about 1974’s Cockfighter, a movie I am told is great but I walked out of at an Ex-Fest because the animal violence was a bit much for me. NOW I HAVE TO WATCH IT ANYWAY, THANKS EVAN oK THANKS FOR LISTENING AND TELL ALL YOUR DEGENRATE FRIENDS PLEASE

Spin the wheel, take a chance, who knows what dreams you will find. Yes it is finally here, the inaugural episode of GHOUL ROULETTE, the podcast where your two goofy hosts spin the wheel of pain and see if what they find is bleak or joyous…cinema wise. You can find the master list here! Basically, in case you are very new to this, Evan and I have put together a list of 60 movies, 30 from each of us. Evan, as he is like to, chose some of the darkest movies he could think of. They actually span the range of bummer cinema, from the depressing to the gruesome. I, on the other hand, tried to pick movies that made me feel good OR others suggested as life affirming movies. Granted, some of these choices will seem weird, but the goal was not to rely SOLELY on the sappy and instead to also feature the fun and the triumphant. For this episode the winds of fate have blown us to 1981’s Christiane F a German film depicting the true life story of a young women sucked into addiction in Berlin in the late 70s. It is a huge fucking bummer, but also pretty good? Check it out and let us know what you think. To be honest, as a lame dad this movie was a real trial for me, and I was a little worried that this was maybe too close to a D.A.R.E. movie but it is effective and really well done. Anyway, thanks for listening, please tell a friend, and join us next time to see what the fates have dealt us on the WHEEL OF PAIN..and sometimes pleasure

All good things come to an end…and even ridiculous shit like this podcast gotta go. Thanks for joining us on this trip, we appreciate you very much! The summer may be over, but the Ghoul adventure will continue very soon. For now, enjoy me complaining about this movie and Evan admitting that it is maybe not great, but he still has affection for it. Sorry if this is late, today has been a mess and I am stressing about so much stuff. Still, it is nice to know that you may listen to this, remember something gross from this film, and maybe feel as bad as I do. Solidarity I guess.

Look out everybody, it’s another guest episode! On this awesome episode we are joined by John Hades who you may know from DEVIL MASTER, SCARAB, or FINAL RESTING PLACE. This dude rips and really is making music in Philly that much more sick, BUT ALSO He is an OG fan of the Coffin Joe movies which is exactly what we needed for this episode! Thanks John for joining us, you were just a joy to have as a guest, and folks please go check out his music. If you have never seen a Coffin Joe movie, maybe check those out as well.
