  • GOOD, GREAT or GARBAGE: Jim Steinman's "Bad For Good"

    Dustin & Ky have returned for a deep dive into late legendary rock music producer and composer Jim Steinman's only solo album, 1981's Bad For Good. In the process of dissecting this fascinating musical oddity, your hosts fall down a rabbit hole and not only discuss Bad For Good, but also Steinman's career in general and how this single album is something of a keystone whose elements can be found all throughout the man's later works. So if you're a big fan of Jim Steinman, his collaborations with Meat Loaf, or even Barbra Streisand, there's something for everybody in this latest episode!

    You can continue the conversation by commenting on our official blog and telling us what you think of Bad For Good and the rest of Jim Steinman's oeuvre, or if you're feeling more verbose, you could send us an email at [email protected], or you could always visit us on Twitter or Instagram to keep up to date with all things Trappo, if you were so inclined.

  • Glenn Danzig's "Verotika"

    On this week's episode, your hosts Dustin & Ky go "under the influence" and discuss legendary metal & punk pioneer Glenn Danzig's feature directorial debut: 2019's Verotika. Is this already notorious cult shocker worthy of its "so bad it's good" reputation? Should it be spoken of in the same breath as such luminaries as The Room or Troll 2? That's what we're here to find out in this extended discussion. Spoilers abound!

    You can continue the conversation by visiting our official blog and leaving a comment, telling us what you think of Verotika, and while you're there, tell us what movies you think are worthy of the "so bad it's good" label. You could also send us an email at [email protected], or you could visit our Twitter or Instagram feeds and stay abreast of all the latest TRAPPO. shenanigans, if you were so inclined.
