Dispatches from the Weird

Hey there loyal listeners! This week Lono and Ian change things up a bit in preparation for Scares That Care weekend. We go over some news and ramble a bit in typical WBD fashion, but then we go on to spend the rest of the episode going over what’s coming up this weekend. We go over events, guest lists, and just some general ideas for how to get YOU involved at the con. With some cool tunes thrown in for good measure of course. Have any contest ideas for us at the con? Are you gonna be there and wanna know how to track your favorite heroic hosts at the event? Drop us a line at [email protected] and let us know!

In this week’s episode of We Belong Dead, we reveal some big news because WE’RE DOING A LIVE PANEL SHOW AT SCARES THAT CARE!!! WOOOOO!!!……ahem… We also get almost as excited as that as we geek out over the newly released Ash Vs. Evil Dead trailer (seriously, this looks perfect) and go over some other horror news as well. And to keep that AvsED train rolling, our director spotlight is on none other than Mr. Sam Raimi. We then proceed to recast the fantastic In the Mouth of Madness, Lono discusses his twisted summer flick pick, we play some groovy tunes, and then wrap up the show with one of the best movie pitches to date. And the pitch is orchestrated by none other than Mr. Modern Goldilocks himself – Lono! No, really! And don’t forget, if you wanna send some ideas for the con or just general ramblings our way shoot it over to us at [email protected] “So I watched The Incredible Mr. Feebs last night.” – Ian

“Goddamn it.” -Lono

Once again our intrepid hosts are forced to being an episode by paying tribute to another great lost force in the genre, Art Weingertner himself, the awesome Rick Ducommun. Further along in this trip, Lono reveals his classy invitation to help beta test AMC’s streaming horror service, SHUDDER! Ian forces Lono to borrow a werewolf film starring Mario Van Peebles! With his music choice this week, Ian opens many Doors while bringing out early-mid 90’s band impressions from Lono! We actually have a slew of horror news (and Ian explains exactly what a “slew” entails)! Our director spotlight this week is the inimitable Brian Yuzna (and Lono brings a lot of love to frequent Yuzna collaborator, and too often overlooked artist, Screaming Mad George!). Lono then kicks off our summer horror trailers with a great Corman classic. Our heroes try our best to sidestep racism while re-cast Big Trouble in Little China! What would Alan Moore sound like when singing “Aqualung” at karaoke? Find out here! Lono unleashes Unknown Hinson on the listeners, and at LONG LAST has a pretty damned good pitch to Ian, with many twists, turns,and a great Rob Zombie tune no one knows! The boys wrap things up by reading waaay too many of their own tweets (sorry!) and encourage you all, as always, to send us yer salt! Trailer requests, FMK games, Critiques, Desires, and all that other junk, throw it all over to [email protected] and, of course, 1000 thank yous for listening!

“And as always…what am I doing?” -Lono

We kick off this episode with the unfortunate tradition of spotlighting a horror film titan who has left us while leaving behind a great body of work. This week the great Sir Christopher Lee has passed on and we spend some time celebrating his career.

Then we move on to brighter topics by doing a director spotlight on the often disregarded but nonetheless talented Jeff Burr, recast the fantastically grotesque Dead Alive, and then Ian gets Lono all aflutter with his pitch for Re-Animator 4.
