Episode 29: ‘Body Melt’-Smells Like Cinematic Sadness Podcast

Smells Like Infinite Sadness

On this week's installment of the long-delayed follow-up to our ’Smells Like Cinematic Sadness' series, co-host Damon Shell and I look back at ‘Body Melt,' a 1994 Ozploitation horror cheapie about dietary supplements with very unfortunate side effects.

A poor man's exercise into the splatstick oeuvre ala pre-LOTR Peter Jackson, 'Body Melt' is full of bad gross-out effects, a plot that never quite comes together and a tone that makes it hard to figure out what is intentionally funny vs. what inspires unintended guffaws.

It's some really weird s**t and we dive headfirst into this grotesque curiosity that has lost none of its power to keep your attention.

If after listening you're so inclined, you can order the Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray edition by clicking here. It's also streaming on Amazon Prime.
