Hosted by writer-director Wayne Kramer (The Cooler, Running Scared) and producer Barry Germansky (Marlowe, Riff Raff), Forbidden Films is a podcast about the movies they won't make anymore.


Each week, Wayne and Barry take a deep dive into a once critically regarded film or commercial success that by today's regressive standards is now deemed either problematic or unlikely to ever be made again in the same way. Pushing back against political correctness, the duo bring their own filmmaking experience and love of movies to a lively — and controversial — discussion about living in illiberal times where self-censorship and timidity, fueled by corporate greed and fear of social media blowback, has led to the catch phrase, "They'd never make that film today."


Forbidden Films is a shot against the bow of cinematic cowardice and a clarion call to the industry to start making bold and challenging films again. From the early James Bond films to Saturday Night Fever to A Clockwork Orange and beyond, tune in for some insightful and pugilistic conversations. Rated Mature Audiences Only.


Music Acknowledgement: The Forbidden Films theme is a track called "Ghosts" by renowned film composer John Murphy. It is available on John's album "Anonymous Rejected Filmscore."

    "I like to watch." Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky celebrate peak De Palma: the controversial 80s, where the provocative director and self-appointed heir to Hitchcock takes on Woman Against Pornography, fragile critics, nervous financiers and the MPAA with a foursome of classic films: Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Scarface, and Body Double. The master of the lurid and the extended female walk-and-stalk challenged 80s viewers with his stylized eroticism and hyper-violent set pieces, all while championing the male gaze. In a De Palma film you're never in doubt who is behind the camera, and Wayne and Barry revel in this virtuoso filmmaker's satirical and, often times, cynical vision. The most underrated and misunderstood of the Movie Brats, this three hour ode to sexual identities, political conspiracies, underworld cokeheads and split-diopters is De Palma worship on steroids. Hit the button, as long as it's not the 7th Floor!

  • A Clockwork Orange

    A Clockwork Orange

    "Viddy well, little brother, viddy well." It's time for a little ultra-violence and the old in-out, in-out as Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky take a deep dive into Stanley Kubrick's dystopian masterpiece A Clockwork Orange, a film that brought about global condemnation, moral panic, and snapping censor's shears in response to the legendary filmmaker's adaptation of Anthony Burgess' satirical novel on free will versus totalitarianism. ACO still packs a punch and retains the power to shock and elucidate, even as the film's modern critics remain conflicted over its ultra-stylized violence, explicit nudity, and mixed messaging. Our hosts have been subjected many a time to the Ludovico Technique and remain in awe of this 1971 classic. Press the button, little brother, and all will be revealed.

    "I didn't know there was a pool down there." Join us for part two of our Bond retrospective as Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky keep their Walther PPKs firmly lined up on 007's most threatening villains: the henchmen of political correctness. Our hosts continue to opine on what the Bond movies used to do so well in the 1960s and 1970s and what's missing from the current mission directive: F.U.N. Part two features: You Only Live Twice through Moonraker. Connery to Lazenby to Moore. It's the Biggest. It's the Best. It's Bond and B-e-y-o-n-d!
