This week, the show gets “real.” No, not that kind of real, real as in documentary film real. Wait, wait, wait. I know it sounds boring, but come on! It’s us! We promise we won’t go all Ken Burns on you. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Ken, he just doesn’t have that OTC edge that you have all come to love and expect.)
First up, we have out top six favorite documentaries. As you all know, you can make a doc out of any subject, so it should be an interesting compilation. Then we get into our two reviews.
Our first review is “Metallimania” from 1997. This doc was filmed during the height of Metallica’s career, right after the release of the Black album and just before Load was recorded (the release was delayed a few years after completion.) The majority of the doc is centered on Metallica fans. Now, I know that sounds awful, but, think about this statement towards the end of the film: “Metallica fans, as intelligent as they are diverse. As ugly as they are diverse…” and you have the sense of humor that the doc takes.
Trivia Fact: The Metallica camp fought the release of this doc.

Our second review of the week is for 2002’s Baadasssss Cinema. Made for The Independent Film Channel, this doc takes a look at Blaxploitation films during their very short but very popular heyday. There are many archive as well as new interviews with many people involved in the genre and many of our favorite films are spotlighted. Even though it is under an hour in length, it is packed with information.
Trivia Fact: In Death Proof, Shanna (Jordan Ladd) is wearing a t-shirt with this doc’s logo on it.

Episode #83: Don’t Go In Mrs. Wardh
Episode 83: Don’t Go In Mrs. Wardh
This week, we have another wonderfully inspired episode of Outside the Cinema. We discuss our top six “Because the Box Art Was Interesting” movies. These are movies that we either blind bought or rented because the cover art was intriguing.
After that, we get into our reviews. First up is the 1980 not-quite-a-horror-but-it-still-kind-of-is thriller, “Don’t Go in the House” Directed by Joseph Ellison and starting Dan Grimaldi, this is the tale of a man who loses his mother and seemingly as a consequence, his mind.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080646/
Next up is another in the long line if Giallo’s that Bill has forced Chris to watch. This time, it has a plus going into it. “The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh,” or “Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh” stars Edwige Fenech. Directed by Sergio Martino, this film also stars, um… who cares? Edwige Fenech is in it. What is it about? Some jerk is trying to kill her. That’s all you really need to know. Well, not really. This film also stars Edwige Fenech’s exposed boobs!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066412/
We wrap up the show with listener feedback and then call it a day! That’s the show.
OTC Live will be Wednesday this week. Same time and place, different bat-day.

Episode #79 Solange is Out There
Is this the week friends? Has Bill By Force finally picked a Giallo that will not infuriate Mr. Chris? You will have to listen to find out.
The films covered this week are “What Have You Done To Solange?” and “There’s Nothing Out There.”
First up is 1992’s “There's Nothing Out There.” Written and directed by Rolfe Kanefsky, this is the story of a group of teens (Teens? Really? O.K. whatever…) that try to spend a nice relaxing weekend in a cabin in the woods. Unbeknownst to them, a voracious alien has crashed the party. Fortunately, Mike is well versed in all horror movie scenarios. But, will that be enough?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103077/
Next we have 1972’s “Cosa avete fatto a Solange?” a.k.a “What Have You Done to Solange?” Based on the novel "The Clue of the New Pin" by Edgar Wallace, the screenplay was written by Bruno Di Geronimo and Massimo Dallamano who also directed the film. This Giallo, set in London tells the story of a group of grisly murders. Something connects all of the victims together, but what is it? Can the police and Enrico 'Henry' Rosseni figure it out in time?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068416/
The top six list this week is High School movies. This is a very broad topic, which generates some interesting choices.
