And you can’t beat them Dave.

The only French movies I’ve seen are about people on bikes shouting ‘papa’ and kissing each other to fragmented sounds of women screaming.

Oh, fair enough. I’d avoid the live action Asterix films like the bloody plague if I were you.

I mean French horrors like Satan and all that. Never saw the live action Asterix, but the cartoons rocked my little socks. It taught me that I could do anything with performance enhancing drugs.

Or the French? Not seen the Asterix movies then?

The French, indeed!

Anything by Troma, anything with Massacre in the title and anything with Koreans or Belgians or the French = good times.

What was formulaic about Terror Firmer?

I reckon you could offer me a fair list of decent horrors, SH. I’m not well ventured when it comes to film.

Define ‘minor’, you may have had it coming.

Troma make formulaic rubbish, Dave. I say that as a horror film buff.

I Bought A Vampire Motorbike (or cycle, can’t remember which) was fantastic and starred Neil Morrissey, if memory serves – Dave’s favourite.

I love Troma films, Cannibal The Musical! is my favourite film of all time.

Builds character in a boy. That’s what my father used to say to me as he was belting seven bells out of me for some minor childhood misdemeanour.

Tromeo and Juliet, or anything by Troma is where I seek weirdness.

That’s nothing my Dad used to show me videos of him shagging my mum. “One day son, that will be you.” He’d say with a tear in his eye.

I’m not sure about that, Tombstone. If asked to describe Microwave Massacre, ‘good’ wouldn’t be a word that would instantly spring to mind. That said, I was only about eight when I was forced to watch it by my uncle, so I could be wrong.

Thinking about it, if you forced an eight year old to watch a film like Microwave Massacre now, it’d be considered child abuse. In my day it was just my uncle making me watch an ‘orrible video nasty against my will on pain of monkey scrubs and chinese burns. Never did me any ‘arm, etc.
