Black Tribbles

Wrapping up our Apocalypse series with the most depressing scenario we could think of - the cosmic apocalypse and the honest truth that we mean nothing. The Ghouls are talking about how the universe can kill us, how we've only been here a moment and how the end is nigh! We watched Lars Von Trier's Melancholia to really get into the mood and to top it off, watched The Universe TV Show's episode on the Cosmic Apocalypse.

Roy and Chanell Burton of the delicious Jawn Appetit podcast bring their marital joy for the muscled stars of syndicated weekdays in the 80's - He-Man and the ThunderCats - into the studio for lessons, singing and good times.

The Hero Complex crew are giddy with delight over the smorgasbord of MARVEL news coming out of SDCC 2019. Plus - a special guest from the West Coast: Two people, One great name.

Special interview along with radio show Pulling Focus host Gretjen Clausing where we talk with Ashlee Blackwell, horror movie expert and founder of the website, Graveyard Shift Sisters. We talk to her about representation in horror, black films/directors/actors and the unique approach to telling our stories through genres like horror.

This week we talk about the comments made by President Trump towards "The Squad". The Squad is a diverse group of freshmen House of Representative made up of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Illahn Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. What does the American dream mean when you have Americans telling other American to go home? We also talk about the 50 year anniversary of the Moon landing and the latest announcements from Marvel phase 4.

This week the Ghouls are talking about the good, green Earth and how we're destroying it leading it to inevitably strike back with natural disasters and resource depletion. We talk the films Soylent Green (It's people!) and The Day After Tomorrow (which turns out was actually today). Is Climate Change real? What does NASA have to say? Was M. Night Shyamalan right when he made a film about the trees killing us?!

Its the end of the world and we are telling you all about it. This week the Ghouls are tackling the nuclear holocaust - including information on Chernobyl, Hiroshima and the real-life lack of fail-safes our own government had when handling the big bombs. We watched Chernobyl (HBO) and the classic Kubrik fun-time apocalyptic romp, Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

BILL & BETH of The Roddenberries and MOLLY, the kitschy soul behind Adopt-a-Tribble, join the Tribbles in remembering Star Trek the 70s Animated Series, but it's all an excuse to boldly trek as we have never trekked before.

Is Kraven's Last Hunt the next Spiderman movie? Do we need a Thor Four like the ones before? Who Stark will take home the gold? It's all GUTTER TALK baby!

SPOILER ALERT - Spiderman: Far From Home gets a full review and examination by Len, JD and Brandon plus HBO Max and the live-action Mulan.
