Speakeasily vs. the '80s

The Speakeasily gang is back to resurrect another camp classic with schlockmeister director Frank Henenlotter's 1990 master-piece, FRANKENHOOKER! Is this a gritty update to the Frankenstein mythos or a po-mo feminist manifesto? Is any of us more than the sum total of our parts? WANNA DATE?!

Speakeasily vs. the ‘80s returns to your $hitterverse after having left you alone for way too long and for no good reason! We're back, baby, and we're here to talk about Michael Gottlieb's Mannequin (1987) with our guest, performance artist Annalyn Bond. There comes a time in every boy's life when he falls in love with his own fiberglass creation, and we guess that's what this movie is about. But really, we're just here for Hollywood because he's one BAD GIRL.

Speakeasily vs. the '80s will be back soon!!

Are you ready to have a BALL? Speakeasily Vs. The ‘80s welcomes returning guest, comics industry maven, professional nerd, and furball expert, Jann Jones to discuss Critters 2. Cashing in on the Gremlins creature feature craze, Mick Garris’s 1988 follow-up to Critters, is truly a peek ‘80s trash experience with its ferocious man-eating balls, intergalactic bounty hunters, a Crite-killing centerfold, EDDIE DEEZEN appearance, and of course – the star of the movie, a mega Critters Ball.

Speakeasily Vs. The ‘80s welcomes Joe Donohoe (writer, nurse, former taxi driver, and publisher of Specious Species magazine) for a BRAINZ-fueled discussion of Dan O’Bannon’s game-changing zombie punk hit, Return of the Living Dead. With its goth punk soundtrack that’s all killer no filler and a tomb-strippin’ Linnea Quigley, this is a modern horror classic we dig to no end. Where Rasputin’s preserved member, Doctor Manhattan’s bouncing dong, and Bananabots fit in, is up to you to decide.

Speakeasily Vs. The ‘80s welcomes no-budget film auteur Davenzane Hayes to discuss 1984’s sword and spaceship classic Ice Pirates! Join us as we contemplate how mechanized castration, robot pimps, Bruce Vilanch, and the Knights Templar all ended up in this pile of post-apocalyptic piraty poop. Warning: listening to this episode may increase your risk of contracting Space Herpes. And crabs. And Olestra fat substitute.

Bonnie Bloomgarden of the mystical rock band Death Valley Girls joins us for a very special episode of Speakeasily Vs. The ‘80s. Together we somewhat bravely tackle the controversial and stylized movie about teen murder, disaffected stoners, and the dark morality of peer pressure – 1986’s River’s Edge. There’s also Goth talk, Little White Doggie talk, Occult vs Positive Thinking talk, and so much more.
