Talk Without Rhythm Podcast

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm continuing with the Patreon Picks with a selection from TWoRP Legionnaire Steven King. Inspired by its recent appearance on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Steve requested I take a look at the 1988 Zombie Buddy Cop Comedy Dead Heat. I opted to pair it with a flick from my youth watching Joe Bob's Monstervision - 1986's The Wraith. 

But before we get into that, Steve and I sit down with his Invasion of the Podcast co-host Paul to discuss the recent controversy surrounding Mr. Briggs, and how that fits into the ever-evolving conversation around the separation of "art" and "artist."

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm continuing the Patreon Picks with a selection from TWoRP Elite Patron Paul of Invasion of the Podcast and Strange Highways. Paul requested we take a journey into Peter Jackson's pre-blockbuster period, before he was all about Hobbits and Elves and was more interested in Puppet Sex and unhinged Jake Busey performances.

To that end, we'll be discussing 1989's Meet the Feebles and 1996's The Frighteners.
