It is time for another "Lights, Camera, Keyword!" Where the direction of the movie conversation is led by just one word. Where each guest takes the conversation is dependent on their own inspirations and experiences. The word for this episode is: LOST! Dirk is joined by longtime guest Josh Griffith and first time guest Marilyn Morose. Will they discuss times they felt lost in movies? Times movies felt lost? Something else entirely? You will just have to listen!

We are back! Welcome to season 25 of V H US. We are kicking it off in style with Mike White (the host of The Projection Booth Podcast!) We discuss some of the beginnings of Mike's many projects before diving into Adilkhan Yerzhanov's STEPPENWOLF (2025.) A film that dares ask the question "What if there was no good to be found in the world?!?" That's right, things get bleak on this episode but you might not notice because it was just so much fun talking movies with Mike White. Enjoy!

We end this season with an epic episode on musicians in movies. Our wonderful returning guests are Heather Drain and Carmelita Valdez McKoy. We all love music and movies so why not talk about some of our favorite times that feature both. Initially we each were going to bring 5 movie moments that featured musicians but there are TOO MANY! So instead, we each bring 10 and probably talk about 15 more. We cover a lot so hopefully this massive episode will tide you over while we are on break. See you soon for season 25!

This episode we are joined again by Mark Mahoney (guest from our previous episode on Andy Sidaris movies.) We each have selected a movie from Full Moon Features to discuss. We also had a third Full Moon Feature, selected at random, for us to close out the conversation. We talk about all three movies as well as our introductions to Full Moon Features AND MORE!

This episode we kick off a new mini series that is all about the made for TV movies of the 1970's. It is the brainchild of the guest, Rodney Anonymous and what a deranged brainchild it is! We begin with Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell from 1978. Richard Crenna really has his hands full when his family....um....has "interactions" with a dog possessed by the devil. Yeah, let's word it that way! A truly unbelievable movie made for TV so the whole family can enjoy it! We also play a game that will probably make a lot of people sad. ENJOY!

This episode is one of our special interviews where Dirk has a chance to speak with an artist whose work he has admired for quite some time. The guest is musician, composer, artist, record label maestro, and novelist Sam Rosenthal. The conversation ranges from Sam's early beginnings in music to running a record label and more! Lots more, we didn't even mention cats yet. Yes, there are cats! If you are a fan of Sam then I know you will enjoy this conversation and if you know nothing about this wonderful human then I also know you will find much to appreciate in this inspiring conversation. Did we mention cats?!?

This episode we are joined yet again by the legendary Zak Koonce (Auralnauts & Zak's Planet of Garbage.) Which could only mean one thing! That is right, it is time to continue our exploration of H.P Lovecraft movies. If it is based on or inspired by H.P. then we will watch it and discuss it (for better or worse.) We also play what could only be described as the grossest game yet (although our first episode in this series was also an all timer!) Want to share your thoughts? Call or text 503-395-8858!

In this episode we continue our goth movie sequence with Sarah and Carmelita. Every time we also create our own alternative soundtrack for the movie! So we hope you enjoy this episode and seek out the blu-ray as well as the albums by all of the artists we shout out. Support these great artists and labels. Also call the hotline and share your good news! 503-395-8858

For this special episode we have not one but two incredible guests! Dakota Noot and Christopher Velasco are hosts of the Two In The Pinku Podcast. Together they are watching and contextualizing the pinku (independent low budget adult films from Japan) genre. They are both individually artistic and talented but together you have an erotic cinema power couple! (Hopefully they are OK with that title. They are also married!) Both Dakota and Christopher have also contributed to blu-ray releases (separately and together) which we list in this episode. So grab a pen and show some support by picking up those films. The movie follows a man who, in a moment of ecstasy or rage, severs his lover's arm. Once released from prison he sets out to find the man he wounded. Plus it features music by COIL so you know Dirk was going to talk about this one!

For this episode we return to the New Releases & Late Returns format where we first champion everything that is currently bringing us joy from the various realms of entertainment before a look back at a forgotten gem. Our guest is Ryan Gowland of the New World Pictures Podcast. Ryan appreciates movies from multiple genres and is one of Dirk's favorite people to champion movies with. So we hope you enjoy this as much as their partners are annoyed by their collections of physical media. Enjoy!
