SHOWNOTES: Welcome to Season Five of Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast! Starting off the spooky season, we finally dive into controversial West German horror exploitation film NEKRomantik! Released in 1987 to defy the extreme censorship laws of West Germany, this infamous cult movie is, well... it's about exactly what it sounds like...
