  • Episode 12 - Lifeforce, Dolls, Prince of Darkness, The Lamp, Elvira (Halloween Special)

    All right! Our first Radicast Halloween Special--and we totally released it in time for Halloween! Right?! I’ve barely slept these past couple days in order to get this recorded and edited on time, so I can only assume that I totally succeeded. Fuck yeah! So, happy Halloween!

    We cover five (FIVE!) ‘80s horror films in this episode, from classics to delightfully terrible trash you’ve probably never heard of. We discuss and review Lifeforce (1985), Dolls (1987), Prince of Darkness (1987), The Lamp (1987, AKA The Outing), and Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988).

  • Episode 11 - Predator, Adventures in Babysitting (Bob guest)

    Probably our funniest episode so far. Certainly our drunkest.

    Jessica and I recently did that whole marriage thing, but instead of embarking on a honeymoon we sat down with Bob, one of my longtime best friends (ever since he discovered I had a Game Genie in 5th grade), to watch the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, Predator.

    We also discuss another 1987 classic, Adventures in Babysitting (or, as you wacky Europeans know it, A Night on the Town).

    This is the first episode we recorded with our new microphone, so hopefully you can notice an auditory upgrade. However, it might not be too apparent as the three of us had to crowd around the one mic. Hopefully this podcast takes off so we can afford a totally rad multi-mic setup.

    This episode was also a beast to edit, since Jessica was drunk and Bob got progressively more hammered as the recording went on. Lots of drunken rambles, false-starts, and anecdotes, but it shaped up to be one of my favorite episodes.

  • Episode 10 - Labyrinth, Legend

    This time we discuss two very iconic mid-'80s fantasy films that have a lot in common. They both bombed at the box office only to go on to become cult classics. They both star gorgeous "cold" brunettes. And they both are titled a single word that starts with the letter "L".

    I'm speaking, of course, of the 1986 Jim Henson directed Labyrinth and the 1985 Ridley Scott directed Legend.

    Other media we discuss in brief: The Dark Crystal [1982], Phenomena [1985], Seven Minutes in Heaven [1985]
