“Entertaining, sometimes brilliantly funny…” Chortle.co.uk

More?! Surely not! Hello Ban Fans! Its me, your horror host Richard Asplin. Just dropping by for a moment to offer you a free glimpse into the newest “XXX-Rated Extras” “Bonus Episode. For those with a fascination of what goes on BEHIND the camera, how low-budget horrors get from script to screen and why so much VHS on the Banned list was badly lit and crackly recorded by wobbly cameras on cardboard sets…the answers revealed! We’re taking a hilarious look at the bonkers budgets and painful productions that created our favourite nasties and explaining how you could have made Blood Feast 20 times over for the cost of Avengers-Endgame catering budget…

The full show is of course available exclusively for subscribers – a club you can join via Patron or Apple Podcasts.

But to tempt you, here’s a little slice…

From the studio that somehow brought you 'Downfall' (the last days of a meglomaniacal insane fascist lunatic) and 'Willy Wonka' (the last days of another meglomaniacal …oh you get the idea), probably the goriest yet campest piece of Teutonic soft-core silliness and fairy tale filth!

While 70’s barmy Britain served up the soft, saucy sex-comedies of Robin Asquith and Fiona Richmond, from Germany we have this! What happens when classic fairy tales of princesses and enchantment meet nubile naked booby woodland rumpo along with talking dogs, dopey dwarves, sexy spells and very horny toads?

It’s exhausting, it’s humourless, it’s joyfully ridiculous.

Imagine Disney replaced Rachel Zegler with Kenny Everett.

And then let Sid James & Co borrow the set of The Princess Bride for a dirty weekend.

Add some giant comedy cocks and “einer Chuckle Bruden” and tah-daah!

Straight from the DPP List 3 bin-bag…it’s a hilarious romp through the Grimm side of Euro-smut…episode 7 of Let’s Get The Banned Back Together – THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SNOW WHITE!

Well it couldn’t stay fun for long. On the flip side of the silly splattery slapstick, the movie monsters, fake blood and prosthetics…this. The first true 'exploitation' in our 'exploration'.

A nasty little exercise in soft core women-in-prison unpleasantness, the movie that launched the thankfully short-lived nazisploitation trend, from the director of Mondo Bizarro, Love Is A 4 Letter Word and Hollywood’s World Of Flesh. This early effort virtually created this unpleasant Women In Prison genre of exploitation picture, whihc brought us 1971s Women in Cages and 72s The Big Bird Cage both giving the world an early glimpse of the legendary Pam “Foxy Brown” Grier.

WHO are the two brave women sent to enemy territory to be picked up and imprisoned?

WHAT is the weapons-grade secret they have been sent to retrieve from poor Martha Grossman?

HAS this entire piece of nonsense really been shot on one cardboard set over a weekend?

HOW MANY times can they claim this is a true story shot on location when it clearly is snuffy titillating drivel knocked up by a bored theatre group?

HONESTLY - the German Shepherd is the only watchable thing in it. And he still looks like a wrong ‘un.

God bless the BBFC who got rid of this forever. If you want to know how and why, join me for an adults only edition of Lets Get The Banned Back Together – Episode 5. LOVE CAMP 7
