Escape from the Toffee-Penny-Faced Commando

There’s a particular kind of film that exists in the shadowy corners of cinema, where the plots are wild, the morals are questionable, and the production stories are often stranger than fiction. That’s the territory explored in The Brass Unicorn, a comedy podcast hosted by Mario, Tom, and Simon. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a pub with three friends who have just emerged, slightly dazed, from a marathon of the most bizarre movies ever committed to celluloid. Their conversations are less about dry critique and more about shared bewilderment and affection for this uniquely absurd genre. You’ll hear them dig into the peculiar charms and undeniable worries of exploitation cinema, from dubious fashion choices to hilariously convoluted narratives, all delivered with a blend of incredulity and genuine love for the subject. The discussion often spirals into related tangents about culture, trivia, and the sheer oddity of it all, making for a consistently entertaining listen. Tune into this podcast for a weekly dose of camaraderie and comedy, all filtered through a very specific and wonderfully weird cinematic lens.
