Remi Gone Rogue returns to OHCAST for a wild and honest look at the chaos. craft. and character of indie wrestling. From her years in Strongman to stepping into the ring. Remi breaks down the reality of learning to bump. reading an opponent. building a persona. and surviving the grind of weekly shows. She talks about the transition from lifting cars and atlas stones to taking falls. protecting her neck. and finding her voice in front of a crowd.

We get into conditioning. injuries. stingers. Muay Thai. the mental shift from competition to performance. and the pressure of keeping up with younger high flyers. Remi shares stories from Carolina Wrestling Academy. her training under Steve and Colby Carino. and the push that got her through the hardest year of her athletic life.

This is a raw. funny. and very real conversation about what it takes to enter wrestling from a completely different world. The pain. the pride. the fear. the fight. The Hammerlock is back. and Remi brings the fire.

Nick Vince returns to OH!CAST for a deep‑dive conversation into one of horror’s most iconic transformations — his journey from school plays to becoming Chatterer in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. This long‑form geek culture interview explores the origins of his acting career, his early collaborations with Clive Barker, and the creative chaos behind one of cinema’s most unforgettable monsters.

Vince shares vivid memories of meeting Barker in London’s fringe theatre scene, modelling for him during the creation of Books of Blood, and discovering how Barker’s intelligence, generosity, and environmental passions shaped their conversations and creative work. He recounts the moment Barker called with the now‑legendary understatement: “There is some makeup involved.”

This episode digs into the physical and emotional reality of becoming Chatterer — from facial reconstructive surgery informing the character’s design, to the extreme limitations of the prosthetics that forced Vince into a uniquely restrained, unsettling performance. He explains how the teeth were constructed, how the mask was glued and sealed, why KY jelly was involved, and how the lack of sight, hearing, and mobility shaped every movement on set.

We explore the dynamics between the Cenobites, the surprising lack of rehearsal, the technical choreography required to hit marks while nearly blind, and the camaraderie between the actors and Image Animation’s makeup team. Vince also shares rare behind‑the‑scenes stories: the infamous duck pond at Production Village, the rumoured “Cenobite Rap,” and the moment a schoolchild accidentally witnessed Pinhead stepping off a bus.

Along the way, Vince offers thoughtful insight into cult media, the psychology of Hellraiser, Julia’s true role as the film’s protagonist, and why so many women identify strongly with the story’s themes of agency, desire, and transformation.

This conversation is a must‑listen for fans of retro media, science fiction fandom, and anyone fascinated by the craft behind practical effects and performance under extreme conditions. A rich, character‑driven interview that reveals the humanity behind the horror.
