We're back with part one of Sean's pick: the 1995 sci-fi movie Evolver, starring Ethan Embry, John de Lancie, Paul Dooley, and William H. Macy. This movie may seem like a dumb, mediocre PG-13 horror movie at first glance, but in reality its a dumb, pretty good rated-R horror movie. We also discuss the history of Vidmark/Trimark Video, big salads, and how John de Lancie made the world's most evil Pokemon.

And sometimes those guys are video games.

It's our yearly tradition here at Queen Venerator as we're counting down our Top 100 Albums of 2022. To say that this was a good year in music would be a massive understatement. This was one of the best years in music in recent memory. A lot of great albums didn't make the cut, which is kind of insane considering there are 100 albums listed here.

And what a 100 they are.

Dance bangers from across Africa, ambient bedroom projects, a ton of hip-hop, wild free jazz, midi-infused pipe organs, fiery hardcore punk, modular synths for days, ear-shattering electronics, the smoothest desert blues, a guy rummaging around in a box for an hour, and so much more. Enjoy!

This is part two of our discussion of the August 12th, 1989 edition of Memphis Wrestling TV. It is time for our main event, and my god is it a winner. Our main event sees "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel square off against Nightmare Freddie aka a Ric Flair rip-off gimmick vs. a guy in a Freddy Krueger costume, and yes it is as glorious as the description makes it out to be.

Does it take five minutes for an actual move to be performed in this wrestling match? Yes.

Is Freddy the good guy here? Of course he is.

Is Buddy hungover? Almost certainly. 

Is there a run-in by Jason Voorhees? POSSIBLY.

Also, as this is still Queen Venerator, we also discuss Arby's, Wendy's, the American Yakuza film series, and the many sports films of Ron Shelton. Good stuff.

We're back with another pick from Brad on this episode, and we are goin' to R-A-S-S-L-I-N. Yes, he didn't learn his lesson the first time. This time he drags Sean to the thriving metropolis of Memphis, Tennessee for an episode of CWA TV from August 12th, 1989. Is this episode taking place in a tiny TV studio? Yes. Did they shoot this at 10AM? Yes. Are the wrestlers visibly hungover? Of course. This is an episode of the promotion's B-show during a period of decline, so no one's got their working boots on today, but that doesn't mean that this is a bad show. Far from it. We have early appearances of Dustin Rhodes and the Undertaker, the much-discussed Dirty White Boy, and, of course, Ronnie P. Gossett. We also get a ton of local commercials on this video, from local country buffet Po' Folks to Cheerwine to news reports on what to do with your organs after you die. Fun stuff all around.
