The Nasty Cast: A Video Nasties Podcast
Film StoriesThe 'Video Nasty' panic of the 1980s in the U.K. helped shape a culture and frame a government, censoring cult, exploitation and horror films for the masses.
Join the Marks (McManus and Adams) as they explore this unique slice of British cultural history, from how it all started, what it all meant, and how - decades later - it still impacts what we can watch.
We're delving into everything from the forming and evolution of the BBFC, the campaigners who fought against them, the changes in the law, then taking a look at the nasties themselves - many for the first time - to see just what at all the fuss was about. How many are misunderstood gems, and how many are best forgotten?
