Happy New Year from Severin Films!

This is just a fun discussion of our top 5 favorite releases from 2025 as we get ready to welcome 2026, our 20th anniversary!

Our biggest and best Black Friday Sale yet warrants an equally epic podcast! Join the Sev Team as biblical liberties are taken, Mario Bava is exalted, partial arts are praised, vampire hitwomen are unleashed, Tadashi Yamashita is renamed, Eddie The Flying Gimp returns, Barbara Steele is restored, and UHD Upgrade Sunday delivers 4K greatness.

We're also joined by author and Severin producer Kier-La Janisse to discuss the German juvenile delinquent classic NORTH SEA IS DEAD SEA as well as the landmark radical sci-fi of THE FINAL PROGRAMME, and filmmaker/film obsessive Nicholas McCarthy (THE PACT) to delve into the mind-roasting vanity project WTF*ckery that is STUDENT CONFIDENTIAL. As if all this weren't enough cranberry sauce for your soul, DJ Alfonso spins the sonic orgy that is Rendezvous After Hours!
