***LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED***

Listen in as me and returning guest & resident Human Centipede "expert", Chris, discuss this dry heave-inducing sequel.

Written and directed by Tom Six (Human Centipede I, II, & III), the sophomore entry in Six's triad of repulsion currently holds a 17 out of 100 Metascore. Entertainment Weekly called the film "the sickest B movie ever made," while New York Magazine said it was "a sick joke taken to extremes." Love it or hate it, this film I definitely worth talking about, whether it be in abject disgust or demented glee.

It tells the story of Martin, a parking garage attendant who lives with his loveless mother and his only friend, a pet centipede. He is obsessed with the film The Human Centipede and keeps a carefully crafted scrapbook in honor of his favorite story. After being pushed to the edge by his mother, his doctor, and seemingly the world, Martin sets out to make his own 12-person centipede. What follows is an audio/visual decent into filth, pain, and extremity. Not to mention a creative way to use sandpaper...

The film is currently available on Amazon Prime and Blu-ray.
