Podcast Description
A movie podcast dedicated to breathing new life into dead formats – interactive movies, made-for-TV stuff, shot-on-video films, that sort of thing. If it’s obscure, bizarre, or almost unwatchable, we want to talk about it.

For instance, the episode on 'Phantasm: Revision' discusses fan edits and narrative theories while addressing appeal to both diehard fans and new viewers.

Dead Formats welcomes back Dakota and Chris from the Two in the Pinku for this very strange episode. They discuss Psycho Hypnosis Ecstasy Part 1 (サイコ 催眠 エクスタシー Part 1), Psycho Trip Ecstasy (サイコ・トリップ・エクスタシー), and Female Criminal Ten-Handed Punishment (女犯十手裏仕置). The first two are part of an erotic hypnosis series created by JAV legend Tadashi Yoyogi and the second is a surprisingly well-crafted Edo period noir action film from King Records.
