This week on the pod, Look out for frogs, watch out for people wandering in the road and for the love of god, don’t check on the sexual grunts coming form your parents bedroom because we’re going to hell! Join us as we watched the 2015 Turkish surreal horror film “Baskin” and try unsuccessfully to make sense of this hodgepodge of a film. While we do like aspects of this film in more of a “Parts are better than the Sum of the parts” viewing; loose narrative threads and a movie torn between just wanting to be two different films left us with a weird taste in our mouths by the end. When it goes for something like “Hellraiser meets House of 1000 Corpses” in its extreme gore segments, the movies a hell of a good and nasty time! All to often though these moments are cut short by what we dub the “Memory Palace”, surreal moments that try a bit to hard to introduce threads that don’t fully pay off. Plus, discussions on how to pick a perfect end credits song for this movie, How much anime is TOO much Anime, and Aaron learns of the cultural touchstone for Tiny Tim’s “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”.
All this and more on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need To See That!”
