TRAPPO!

The results are in! Not too long ago, listeners of TRAPPO were asked to vote on whether Jupiter's Purse by emerging artist MATTIE should be inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on, and now it's time to share the final tally with the world! On this episode of the show that talks about stuff on purpose, we're talking about Jupiter's Purse as well as The Night Suite, an EP of gentle piano melodies performed by Canadian composer Stephan Moccio to commemorate World Sleep Day 2022. Did either of these exciting EP's make the cut? Tune in to find out!

In this long awaited episode, Dustin & Ky finally check out 2020's ambitious remake of Castle Freak, produced by Barbara Crampton, star of the 1995 version. Is it any good? Is it the worst thing these guys have ever seen? And is there a re-appraisal of the 1995 film awaiting within? All these questions and (maybe one or two) more will be answered if you listen to this latest episode of the show that talks about stuff on purpose!'

We're opening up TRAPPO's Mail Bag once again as we address viewer feedback! This time around, we're clearing up some misconceptions about our 90s Alternative Mixtape, we discuss Zolita's Evil Angel album, and Metallica's Death Magnetic rears its ugly head once again, as does Uncle Glenn Danzig's Verotika, because we will never be free of either. We also talk about Rosalie Cunningham's music, Rob Zombie's film career, the work of the late Klaus Nomi and Jobriath, Tim Heidecker's quality musical output, and we close things out with a very special email that we will never forget. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotion, so hop on in and enjoy the ride!

In this very special episode, the TRAPPO boys talk about something on purpose: themselves! Inspired by reader feedback, Dustin & Ky tell the long and boring story of how they became the twisted individuals they currently are, and how TRAPPO was born! This isn't a format change or anything like that, so don't worry. It's just a one-time thing that will almost certainly never be repeated, so enjoy it if you want, and if not, no worries. We're just providing you all with a peek behind the curtain if you're interested with this "episode zero", and next time we'll be back to doing whatever it is we normally do around here!
