If for some reason you need to subject yourself to the gross-out video Alex dropped in the chat while we were recording, here you go: Michael Douglas eats an oyster.

From 1995, this Vanity Fair article about Michael Douglas covers some of the production of Disclosure. Also highlighted are Douglas’s personal struggles at the time, including a reconciliation with wife Diandra (who’d file for divorce later that year).

If you just can’t get enough 90s tech references, check out this history of SiliconGraphics, the company that created a lot of the computer imagery in Disclosure. It’s a UNIX system! You know this!

For more Michael Douglas (dunno why you want more, but you do you), listen to our episode about The Ghost and the Darkness!

199 – Singapore Sling

You’ll need a stiff drink after this one

The director’s official site provides a great deal of valuable context for his work, which has been little seen in the United States. Among others, you can purchase an HD digital download of Singapore Sling.

Related: Jen asserted that the film was “coming soon” to blu-ray, but it turns out it already made it to a special edition German blu-ray back in 2013. That edition appears to be out of print, but the film can be found if you know where to look.

For more visionary sicko shit, listen to our episode about David Cronenberg’s Crash!

198 – Our Worst Favorites, Episodes 1-100

Tim and Jen wrap up their look back at the first one hundred episodes of the show by listing their worst favorites! Yes, you read that right!

The lamentable fan film The Return of the Ghostbusters (aka “The Denver Ghostbusters,” in the same vein as “Terrifier the Clown”) shows no signs of disappearing from YouTube. Your time might be better(?) spent on primo schlock like Godfrey Ho’s Crocodile Fury, or the wildest Florida Man story ever shot on video, Truth or Dare: A Critical Madness. And of course there’s Romeo and Romeo!

The Doomsday Machine is way more enjoyable when it’s riffed by Cinematic Titanic— highly recommended! Watch it free on Tubi.
