At The Devils Ball

HOW'D IT GET BUUUUURNED? We're beginning a Nicolas Cage month with the over-the-top madness of the remake of THE WICKER MAN and put our ability to find the positive in anything to the test. Again. We discuss some admittedly good performances, the strong score by Angelo Badalamenti and, of course, Cage's baffling and amazing performance.

May The Fourth Be With You! Or some such! This week, the guys attempt to aim their positive and constructive attitudes towards Episode One, a difficult film to say the least, and talk lightsaber duels, toxic fandom, and imperial senate intrigue.

Wrapping up Julian Sands Tribute Month with ROSE RED, the charming but awkward (and long) made-for-tv Stephen King miniseries. The guys discuss the effortless charm of Sands and talk the really incredible performance by Matt Ross, as well as dropped plotlines, puppet ghosts and shamefully outdated autism tropes. We insist you stay a little longer!

Julian Sands tribute month rolls on with GOTHIC, the surrealist drug-trip fictionalization of the famous weekend where Mary Shelley conceived (important word there!) "Frankenstein." The guys are joined by the incomparable Jamie Alvey to discuss the fascinating literary figures, themes of sexuality, relationship and gender issues and more. Check the film out and give it a listen, won't you?

Julian Sands tribute month rolls on with the audacious and delirious WARLOCK:THE ARMAGEDDON, featuring what is possibly the most iconic role Sands ever played. The guys discuss 90's fashion, gender roles and the delightful energy of the whole affair, and remain hopeful of Sands safe return.

All this month is Julian Sands month on the show. Along with filmmaker Mi Chelle Nessk, the guys respectfully discuss the body of work of the actor while remaining hopeful that Sands is okay, and discuss WARLOCK, the '89 cult film that made Sands a horror icon.

Ode to Clive Barker concludes with the cult favorite "Nightbreed," a strange film about even stranger Canadians. Joined by Sammaeal's better half Jenn, the guys discuss the film's sadly evergreen themes of violence and intolerance against those who are "different", it's appeal to the fan base, and bizarre costume choices. And David Cronenberg.

Ode to Clive Barker continues as the guys attempt to ride The Midnight Meat Train, a strange adaptation with strange and occasionally questionable choices! The guys break down the emotionally scattered but occasionally effective little story, with topics of Bradley Cooper, CGI Gore and Vinnie Jones growing barnacles. Don't miss it! Or do, I'm not your Father.

Clive Barker Month continues with LORD OF ILLUSIONS, a movie Nathaniel calls "an ambitious and occasionally perplexing film," and Sammaeal and guest Paul Steadman of INVASION OF THE PODCAST and STRANGE HIGHWAYS love. The guys talk tacos, the investment of actors in their roles, crushes on Scott Bakula, and much much more. 

The guys begin a month of Clive Barker conversations with the often confounding but occasionally entertaining RAWHEAD REX. Stumbling through what is a fairly lightweight film, the guys attempt to discuss themes, explosions and the act of urinating on priests.
