A podcast where each episode one of the hosts chooses an obscure, odd, wrong movie to watch that the other hasn’t seen.
The podcast Show Me Something Wrong is created by Show Me Something Wrong. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
We're finally letting you know why we took a break from the podcast—we made a movie! (To be fair, if you follow our socials, that's old news.) In this mini-episode, we discuss the production of our found footage mockumentary: THE UNSOLVED LOVE HOTEL MURDER CASE INCIDENT. A film starring Guy and Dave, shot in Japan, in an abandoned love hotel! It was a wild fast-paced shoot that genuinely left us terrified. We also discuss the future of Show Me Something Wrong!
The film is currently up for pre-sale on Indiegogo!

It's our 50th episode, and, to celebrate this milestone, we're discussing the two movies that inspired this podcast: DOOR and SABAKU!
When we first started this podcast, Banmei Takahashi's DOOR was a brutally underseen, almost forgotten film. Now, thanks to Third Window Films, it has had a second life! Guy unpacks the story of its production company and his own introduction to the film.
We then take a hard violent turn with SABAKU, a vicious queer pinku from the early 2000s. This film has always been shrouded in mystery. Dave digs deep into secrets, focusing on its oddly named director, "Casino", and its connection to podcast favourite, Hisaysu Sato.

Dave shows Guy TALK TO ME, DICKY! from 1992, written and directed by its star Alfred Cheung, a very familiar face to those who enjoy 90s Hong Kong cinema. This film has one of the most jaw-dropping narratives of anything we've covered. Just look at this plot synopsis:
"A policeman learns to talk to his penis (which can talk to other men’s penises) and his penis helps him investigate a rape case."
And yet, despite the wild levels of silliness, we somehow go to some very dark places in this episode, from Hong Kong-Mainland relations to post-Tiananmen Square trauma.

Guy shows Dave I WANT TO EAT from 1994, written by and starring Issei Sagawa, the Kobe Cannibal. This movie is among the bleakest and grossest things we've ever covered. Guy digs deep into the horrible history of Sagawa from his murder and cannibalism of Renée Hartevelt in Paris to his starring role in an AV film, uncovering amazing and unsettling facts along the way. The film itself is a bizarre nightmarish amalgamation of documentary footage, pornographic scenes, and strange gory reenactments. This is about as wrong as it gets...

Dave shows Guy BIG MONEY RUSTLAS and nearly ends their friendship. This is a Western from 2010 starring Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of the Insane Clown Posse. It is a carnival of bad jokes, clown makeup, Jason Mewes pissing his pants, and horse-punching. Featuring some truly baffling cameos from Vanilla Ice to Tom Sizemore to Screech from SAVED BY THE BELL. Dave shares his personal history as an teenage juggalo, and Guy comes close to a full mental breakdown. Whoop whoop?

Guy shows Dave MIND FUCK from 1990 (maybe), directed by Mah Wu Tu (maybe), from China (maybe). This period piece porn film is an absolute mystery. Its existence is totally baffling, and Guy digs deeper than ever to attempt to uncover the truth. Black magic battles, S&M whippings, possessed corpses, the longest shower in history, a buck-toothed hunchback, and a farting ninja—regardless of this film's confusing origins, it is a very fun watch!

Dave shows Guy THE BLACK CAT from 1989, not to be confused with the million other films with the same title. This is the one directed by Luigi Cozzi, the Italian b-movie master and charismatic clerk of Dario Argento's Profondo Rosso Store! This film is a sort-of-kind-of meta sequel to Argento's SUSPIRIA and goes to some extremely strange spacey places. Cue vomit, haunted fridges, incongruous rock songs, and random cutaways to black cats!

Guy shows Dave HAWK JONES from 1986. The tagline for this sums it up perfectly: The movie with the kids in it! Yep, HAWK JONES is a buddy-cop crime caper with a cast made up entirely of tiny kids. Despite being aimed at a young audience, the kids spout sexist quips, smoke cigars, and blast each other to death with guns and grenades. HAWK JONES also features the greatest villain of straight-to-video cinema: THE DESTROYER! This is a fun one!

Dave shows Guy END OF THE WICKED, a Nigerian film from 1999 made by Helen Ukpabio and the Liberty Gospel Church. This is definitely the darkest thing we've ever talked about as Dave digs deep into its disturbing backstory of Christian propaganda and child witch accusations. But not to worry, there's plenty of goofy video effects, vomit-spattered witch make-up, humans turning into guinea pigs, cross-eyed electrocutions, and dog ghosts floating out of dead bodies to keep everyone happy. All that and blood-deprived Beelzebub at the centre of the proceedings. Bring on the trauma!

Guy shows Dave WEREWOLF from 1987, not to be confused with the many other films with the same title released around the same time. This one is from Thailand and directed by Sommai Khamsorn. Even if you haven't seen the film, you may have seen a clip from it titled "Greatest Werewolf Transformation Scene Ever". There is more to WEREWOLF than just that scene though. It also features crotch-thrusting zombies, cinema's worst wig, and a cackling witch with a massive chin. This film is as cooked as it gets.

Warning: This is an especially gross episode.
Our third and final mini episode about our recent trip to Tokyo! In this episode, we discuss our visit to Ryuji Yamamoto's izakaya. Yamamoto is an absolute legend of the AV and pinku world and has worked with everyone from Hisayasu Sato to Akio Jissoji. And, most importantly for us, Yamamoto featured in previous Show Me Something Wrong episode, DOG AND AUNT! Yamamoto was both fun and terrifying to speak to. Also featured in this episode: a long tangent about free gyoza and a discussion of our nightcap with Shozin Fukui.

Dave shows Guy OGROFF aka MAD MUTILATOR from 1983, a French Super 8 slasher. Directed by Norbert Moutier (often credited as N. G. Mount), this film is an insane masterpiece. Every frame is utterly mad with chainsaw fights, incongruous zombies, kid murder, cars being battered to bits, and axes being used in ways they shouldn't. And it's all set to a relentless score that sounds like it was recorded in a lunatic's basement. Dave digs deep into Moutier's fascinating backstory, discussing his work outside of OGROFF.

The second of three mini episodes about our recent trip to Tokyo! This was recorded after we went out for drinks with Hisayasu Sato and Kôichi Imaizumi. Like minutes after. So, at this point we're like ten beers in and recording the middle of a vomit-strewn Shinjuku street. We share some of the fun stories we heard from Sato and once again discuss our love of his first film DISTORTED SENSE OF TOUCH. Enjoy!

Guy shows Dave BLOODY BUNS, a Hong Kong CAT III from 2002. It's a film about a man who murders a family, grinds them up, and turns them into human pork buns. Sound familiar? Yep, BLOODY BUNS is an almost scene-for-scene remake of Herman Yau's 1993 masterpiece THE UNTOLD STORY. Only crappy. So, so crappy. Join us as we lose our minds watching this horrendous film and discuss our love for the brilliant original that it rips off so poorly!

The first of three mini episodes about our recent trip to Tokyo! This episode was recorded on location in Shinjuku. We discuss the screening of two Hisayasu Sato films: his new film, DEAR KAITA ABLAZE (2023), and his first film, DISTORTED SENSE OF TOUCH (1985). DISTORTED OF SENSE OF TOUCH was a particularly exciting watch as it so rarely shown. After the screening, we were able to chat with Sato and hear a few exciting tidbits about his career.

Dave shows Guy SOFT SKIN (やわらかい肌) from 1998 directed by none other than Hisayasu Sato, our first returnee director... listen to episode 5: NEIGH MEANS YES if you dare! SOFT SKIN is quite unusual for Sato. It falls (somewhat) outside of the pink genre and, at least at first, seems oddly gentle. However, it's not long before things go haywire with eyeball-licking and a chicken leg being used in a very alarming way. This is truly one of his best and weirdest works!

Guy shows Dave DOG AND AUNT (犬とおばさん) from 1995... sigh... well, we're ready to see our subscribers drop dramatically after this crap. We first became aware of this repugnant film way back in our NEIGH MEANS YES episode, and, after a year and a bit, Guy dredged the gutter and managed to unearth it. DOG AND AUNT is directed by well-known female pinku director Sachi Hamano and tells a sweat-ridden tale of the love between an aunt and an Old English Sheepdog. This is a real film. We promise. And we're very, very sorry.

Dave shows Guy THE BONEYARD from 1991, directed by special effects artist James Cummins. While the DVD cover may feature a goofy zombie poodle, this film is legitimately shocking at times with some of the most horrifying corpse effects in cinema history. Child zombies, Phyllis Diller, gross slime, failed suicide attempts, and psychic trauma–this is one hell of a schizophrenic films!

Guy shows Dave ZOMBI VIII: URBAN DECAY from 2021 and seriously puts their friendship in jeopardy. This unofficial sequel to Lucio Fulci's zombie classic is truly unlike anything we've covered before (and hopefully never will again). With its slow motion footage of goth-hippy girls dancing topless to rap tunes by MC Dirty D, this is worlds apart from its source material. This film may also hold the record for the most stock footage ever used in a feature film. Enjoy our descent into madness as we watch a spider make a web for ten minutes.

In this very short mini, Guy shares the jaw-dropping story behind AN OLD MAN AND HIS DOG, a Chinese film from 1993 that was a huge hit when first released. But what makes this seemingly gentle movie about a man and his "big yellow dog" worthy of an appearance on Show Me Something Wrong? Oh boy... this gets dark...

Dave shows Guy SUPER XUXA CONTRA BAIXO ASTRAL aka SUPER XUXA VERSUS THE DOWN MOOD from 1988. This Brazilian film stars the legendary Xuxa, known in her home country as the "Queen of the Little Ones". The target audience for SUPER XUXA is kids, so expect a lot of crystals and rainbows. However, also prepare yourself for an upsetting caterpillar puppet, a dolphin who is worried about his eyes being plucked out, finger-severing, Nickelodeon-esque sewerage sliming, and a damning social commentary on the environment and bureaucracy! To help us unpack all of this, we are joined by SUPER XUXA's co-director, David Sonnenschein! This is a wild one!

Guy shows Dave FATAL TERMINATION, a Hong Kong actioner from 1990! While this is perhaps not the usual thing we cover, it features a single scene that is among the wrongest moments captured on camera and left us both utterly gobsmacked. Also along for the ride: rocket launchers, back-breaking stunts, helicopter chase scenes, sauna beatings, and a bizarre connection to one of our earlier podcast episodes! This is a fun one.

Dave shows Guy HYPER VILLAIN from 2011! This is one of the most upsetting films we've covered in a while and a definite outlier in the career of fake documentary maverick Koji Shiraishi. We follow the titular Hyper Villain, a serial rapist and head-basher, as he prepares to celebrate the anniversary of his first sexual assault. While it sounds unbelievably grim (and it is), this teeters between genres, becoming very blackly funny as it wallows in disgusting obscenity. Join us for another uncomfortable watch!

Guy shows Dave NIGHTY NIGHT 真夜中の悪夢 from 1986! This Japanese anthology horror film was, until very recently, extremely difficult to come by, with information about it online sparse. Guy digs deep, uncovering a lot of information about its production. He even finds the answer to a question that has been bothering everyone on Letterboxd: How exactly did that girl die after just getting a cake thrown in her face? So, join us for strange video game monsters, school girls morphing into monsters, and birthday parties gone awry!

Guy shows Dave THE FAMILY THAT EATS SOIL from 2005, a film that is most certainly NOT directed Khavn. This is our first trip to the Philippines, and it left our mouths well and truly agape. Little people in diapers, cock fights, children turning into plants, horrific claymation, and, of course, soil-munching—this is a nightmarish deconstruction of a Filipino family that baffled us as much as it entertained us!

Come with us as we unpack the origin story of the Oily Maniac, or Orang Minyak, which takes us to Malaysia and Singapore before we dive into the mad Hong Kong retelling of this weird legend.

Guy shows Dave TAMPON TANGO, one of the most downright strange things we've ever covered. TAMPON TANGO is an experimental porn film from Japan that features meteors dropping from the sky, firecracker tampons, giant peaches, a man playing a guitar with the... uh... wrong body part, a brain-boggling orgy, and relentless close-ups of buttholes. Come join us as we endure a combo of chaos and excruciatingly long dull sex scenes.

Guy shows Dave KILLER TONGUE, a film about... a killer tongue. This film is balls to the wall lunacy, spattered in bright colours, chaotic sounds, and poodles in drag. It is headed up by the amazing Melinda Clarke in the lead role and features two horror movie greats—Freddy Krueger and Pinhead—tackling male pattern baldness and forbidden romance. Nuns, guns, tongues, this is a lot of fun!

Dave shows Guy SKINNER, a film that at first appears to be a typical 90s slasher but soon becomes something much more grim and disgusting. Not only does it feature the brain-melting cast of Ted Raimi, Traci Lords and Ricki Lake, it also contains a scene that is one of the most fucked things we've covered on this podcast. Dave digs deep into the disturbing background of the film's director, Ivan Nagy, which makes SKINNER all the more skin-crawling!

Dave shows Guy TOUCH OF DEATH from 1988. This might be the most disgusting, misogynistic, and hilarious movie ever made by Lucio Fulci. From the ass-end of his career, this bonkers black comedy stars Brett Halsey, star of RETURN OF THE FLY and many, many, many Italian genre films. Halsey chainsaws and smirks his way through the film, leaving Dave and Guy utterly gobsmacked by his comedic chops. What a phenomenal nightmare of a film!

Dave shows Guy THE MURDER SECRET from 1988. Spoiler warning: Guy does not have a good time. THE MURDER SECRET is a made-for-TV (but not actually shown-on-TV) horror film from Italy with some jaw-dropping not-safe-for-TV gore and a very strange production history. While Lucio Fulci did not direct the film, we can safely say if you're a big fan of his work, you've likely seen scenes from THE MURDER SECRET. Find out why in this extra silly episode!
