The World's Only Podcast™ about bizarre, overlooked, and misbegotten media
Jen and guests Darren and Yfke discuss Paul Verhoeven’s first American film, Flesh + Blood. This being a Verhoeven film, we have no choice but to talk about rape A LOT with this one.
For more Dutch film, listen to our episode on unique horror film The Johnsons!
Jen and Yfke talk to Dutch filmmaker Ate de Jong! de Jong directed the cult classics Highway to Hell and Drop Dead Fred. Here, he discusses the production of Highway to Hell, and shares some wisdom from his long and still ongoing film career.
Jen welcomes filmmaker and burger expert Yfke van Berckelaer to discuss one of about three Dutch horror films, The Johnsons! Yfke provides an excellent survey of the Dutch film industry (it’s not just Paul Verhoeven!) and gives some background on the making of the film, which is a bit of an undiscovered horror classic.
Yfke is a Dutch genre filmmaker who lives in Los Angeles and is obsessed with everything that sparkles and yes, that includes the 80s. She also writes about awesome things for the cult magazine Schokkend Nieuws, and you can follow her burger adventures at www.burgerists.com and @burgerists on Instagram and Twitter.
