Do You Believe in Magic? Season 10 wraps up with underground cult classic Furious! Martial arts heroes battle aliens from the Astral Plane for control of the universe (at least according to the summary we found online).

A woman is chased and murdered by white guys dressed in Mongol-like attire. The female’s brother, Simon (Simon Rhee), a martial arts teacher who lives in a shack near a martial arts school, sets out to avenge her death. Under the guidance of his master (Phillip Rhee), Simon’s search for revenge turns into a spiritual quest filled with mystery, deception, and above all, action!

Also included: Evil magicians who shoot chickens out of their hands; people transforming into talking pigs; martial arts masters flying around like Superman; soldiers dressed up like members of the band Devo; opponents turning into giant, fire-breathing dragons; and a subplot of how an alien race turns humans into chickens to lower food costs for their chain of restaurants.

Those are all real things that happen in this movie! As far as we can tell!

As always, the KFEB hosts provide ratings for the films that are based on the fun, enjoyment, and craziness of the film. These scores are tabulated and an on-going grid will keep you up to date with the search.

On the latest episode of the We Talk Music podcast Brett & Mo are joined by Steve "Lips" Kudlow of the mega influential band Anvil.

Vocalist and guitarist Lips was Immortalized in the award winning 2008 documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil along with his childhood friend, drummer Robb Reiner. Since it's release the band's visibility has grown exponentially, and with that the band has continued to turn out excellent heavy metal album after at excellent heavy metal album.

Their 18th studio album, Legal at Last, is out on February 14, 2020 from AFM Records.

With that Lips joined us for an inclusive interview covering a wide variety of the thoughts foremost on Lips mind, such as:

* How the band's advocacy for hemp is much more than people presume

* His frustration with people who accept what they're told instead of taking the time to form their own opinion

* How the animation on the Nabbed in Nebraska video came together

* The meaning of the song I'm Alive and how the band is still kicking ass

* The lack of money in the music industry

* Why other documentary's don't have the same impact that Anvil's did

* His thoughts of a couple of key scenes from the film

* Some incredible stories you must hear as only Steve "Lips" Kudlow can tell them

* How he's a proud Canadian

This is only a small sample of what we cover. It's a long conversation because it's incredible, as Lips is an incredibly thoughtful and candid interview.Don't listen to it for us, listen to it for yourself. You deserve it. Life has changed a lot for Anvil since the movie came out. But son't worry, Lips and Robb will always stay the same, and we're eternally grateful for that.

Do You Believe in Magic? It's a magical mystery tour of America in Warlock The Armageddon, the sequel to the almost-completely-unrelated Warlock.  

Every six hundred years, a great evil has the opportunity to escape and unleash Armageddon. A group of five stones has the power to either free the evil, or banish it for another six centuries. An order of modern-day American Druids battles with a Warlock determined to unleash his father upon the world.

Julian Sands stars as the Warlock! Who self identifies as a witch. But also drinks blood at one point. And is a demon, we think. 

As always, the KFEB hosts provide ratings for the films that are based on the fun, enjoyment, and craziness of the film. These scores are tabulated and an on-going grid will keep you up to date with the search.

So sit back and enjoy the laughs as KFEB wonders where they know Julian Sands from? 

After listening to this episode on Warlock The Armageddon, check in with The Octagon, our on-going ranking of the movies covered in KFEB.

Everyone's fifth favorite Superman, Julian Sands.

Pyogenesis' singer, guitarist and founder, the ultra talented Flo V. Schwarz, is We Talk Music's latest guest, and we couldn't be happier.

One of the founding fathers of gothic metal, Pyogenesis's discography has spanned a wife variety of musical genres. As led by Flo V. Schwarz, they've evolved from death metal, to alternative rock, to pop punk over the years.

The one and only Flo V. Schwarz.

Now back with their newest album, A Silent Soul Screams Loudly, the band has completed their Steampunk inspired trilogy with an Avant-garde / melodic metal sound. It's a perfect complement to the other two albums of the trilogy, A Century in the Curse of Time and A Kingdom to Disappear.

Many topics are discussed during the interview, including:

* How the new album is a compliment but also stands alone from the other two parts of the trilogy

* The writing process of Flo V. Schwarz

* How the label he created, Hamburg Records, has evolved into handling talent

* What the success of Hamburg Records allows him to do with regards to Pyogenesis and his philosophy for the company

* Giving everything you got with the singing and how taxing that is

* Tour plans and how they relate to A Silent Soul Screams Loudly

And that's just part of what we cover, there's also:

* What musical genres Pyogenesis may pursue in the future

* Where he suggests a new listener should start if checking out the band's discography

* What kind of control he can and can't take in the making of the music videos

* The story behind how Lord of the Lost's Chris Harms came to do a duet with Flo on Modern Prometheus

* The influence listening to Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time had on him, and how he wanted the album cover of A Silent Soul Screams Loudly to have a similar effect

* Flo's reasoning behind why no live Pyogenesis will ever exist

Our many thanks go to Flo V. Schwarz for his generous time spent with us, and be on the look out for much more We Talk Music coming your way soon.

Hey yo, it's Mario Lochert on the newest episode of We Talk Music. And he's on the air and in your ear with your hosts Mo and the King of the Casters, Mr. Brett Podcast.

Mario Lochert is the bassist and founder of the German power metal band Serious Black, who's new studio album, Suite 226, is out now and available everywhere.

This is a lot of fun as Mario has a sly sense of humor that caught your normally adaptable hosts way off guard. Take a listen to hear that as well as other topics such as:

* The theme of mental health that the songs of Suite 226 address

* Which songs are outliers to that album theme

* The toll writing and singing the lyrics took on vocalist Urban Breed

* Urban Breed's charisma

* Tour and set list plans

* How the very cool When the Stars are Right music video came together

* Keeping it light even when you are Serious Black

* The Heavy Metal scene in Germany and the rest of Europe

* Looking back at the acoustic album First Light

All this, plus the strange Case of Mario Lochert's  age. This podcast is a good one folks, and that's a promise from We Talk Music to you.
