Episode 2 of The Nasty Cast: A Video Nasties Podcast is now live
Welcome back to The Nasty Cast.
In the early 1980s, horror, violence and exploitation leapt off the cinema screen and into the home, triggering moral outrage and cultural meltdown, as the UK film industry, press, politicians and campaigners battled for control of the nation’s viewing. Decades later, the legacy is a still ongoing discussion about the power, influence and danger of films.
In episode 2, we take a look at the BBFC – their origins and evolution over the years, their role in the Video Nasties panic, and how they’ve adapted to modern media trends.
You can listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or your podcatcher of choice.
