Ep. 123 - Body Melt
WASTELANDS - An Australian B-grade, Punk Rock, Street Trash online radio show hosted by long time partners in slime Adam (085c3n3) Obscene and Mark-O-Mark, pondering punk oddities, b grade movies, and trashy treasures.
In this episode Adam And Mark dial in on the 1993 ozploitation classic Body Melt. A body horror film that for all intents and purposes feels like feels for all the world like the sort of squishy satires seen a few years earlier with flicks like Society, the Stuff and Street trash but with a weirdly wonderful Aussie TV vibe complete with oversaturated colours, throbbing techno music, and deliberate jabs at the artificiality of consumer culture, the 90’s fitness craze and horror films.
In the quiet suburb of Pebbles Court, something odd seems to be afoot when a man who's just enjoyed a tryst with a sweat-covered woman in a tanning room is injected with a strange serum. He promptly starts to freak out after visiting a convenience store, yelling about hallucinations and organ failure before turning into an explosively sludgy mess. A pair of cops, Sam (Kennedy) and Johnno (Andrew Daddo), are called in to investigate as the mysterious pestilence starts to afflict other residents, who are apparently being used as guinea pigs without their consent in a sinister product testing process. All of this is tied to Viumuville, a pharmaceutical health product line and fitness centre where people are encouraged to be at their physical peak. Unfortunately the families and average joes living in the area are destined for even worse things to come... and what about that weird cannibal mutant clan living nearby?
