The Severin Films Podcast

The Severin Films Podcast goes scorched earth, catches disco fever and meditates on a monolith: Join David, Amy & Andrew as they enter the nuclear codes for our Worldwide UHD Premieres of THE WAR GAME and THREADS, including a visit by filmmakers Craig Mann & Robert Nevitt to discuss their Bonus Disc documentary SURVIVORS: THE SPECTRE OF THREADS. Then Team Sev is stayin' alive for a discosploitation celebration of our DISCO ITALIANO Collection, followed by Spectacular Optical's Kier-La Janisse on her premiere release A YEAR IN A FIELD. And in the second round of 'Hammer It Out', our hosts each rank their Top 3 nuclear holocaust movies with an aftermath playlist by DJs Alfonso and New Wave Dave inspired by this month's announcements.

Starting 2026 and Severin's 20th anniversary off with a BANG... figuratively and literally! Join the Sev Team as we delve deep into the gutter to reveal some lost films by Andy Milligan and reveal what was really in the Ark of the Covenant... Turns out it was three Indiana Jones rip-off films by the Italian master Antonio Margheriti. 
We're also joined by co-directors of THE DEGENERATE: THE LIFE AND FILMS OF ANDY MILLIGAN Josh Johnson and Grayson Johnson, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival last year. Available for the first time on home video with 4 lost films from Andy Milligan all making their disc debut. The savages at Severin are coming for your wallet and the soundtrack is provided by DJ Alfonso with a new episode of Rendezvous After Hours!
