Matt Mair Lowery's LIFEFORMED & Fred Olen Ray's ALIEN DEAD

Matt is joined by Matt Mair Lowery, writer of Dark Horse Comics' LIFEFORMED, and Jason Farrell to talk about Matt's 2nd volume of his YA alien invasion opus and all things comics...and Fred Olen Ray's 1980 cinematic train wreck ALIEN DEAD, where a houseboat in a Florida Swamp meets a meteorite that creates flesh-eating zombies...that look like last-minute Halloween costumes. We've said it before and we'll say it again: ED WOOD GOT SCREWED!

Matt Mair Lowery's LIFEFORMED comic.

Jason Farrell's DOUGLAS & DRAGONS, an actual-play Pathfinder podcast

Emperor Ming...now *there* was a villain, not this greasepaint rinky-dink horseshit here

"I can haz Lynyrd Skynyrd album?"

DEATH RUN (A.K.A. MUTANT CITY)

Matt is joined by Jacob Balcom and his cousin Seth Garon to discuss Michael J. Murphy's DEATH RUN. If Jacob were writing for TV Guide, his description would read "The grown-up kid from H.R. Pufnstuf and his girlfriend wake up in post-apocalyptic England to fight a Nazi and cannibals." Do we need to say more about this super-8 doozy?
 

Goodbye, George

We were greatly saddened to learn of the passing of George Romero, the independent auteur director and creator of the modern zombie. His zombie films not only essentially created a new monster, but through that, gave the people of the world an amazing lens with which to look at themselves as individuals, as parts of societies, and, ultimately, as a species. He was a true visionary and a great artist. If you haven't, do yourself a huge favor and watch Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Martin. You will not be disappointed.

DEMONWARP (1988)

Our DEMONWARP episode is now available on iTunes and via this link.

Poor Andy Dick...

Dude looks like he is SHREDDING a wicked solo right here.

DAY of the DEAD II: CONTAGIUM

This 2005 unofficial sequel to Romero's Dead trilogy is potent stuff: first you'll cough, then your skin will peel off, then you'll feel what everyone else who has watched it feels - PAIN. We laughed ourselves silly talking about Thermoses and this inept non-zombie zombie film. Enjoy our hurting...we did.
Available on iTunes or from here (right-click & 'save-as').
We'd like to welcome our new listeners. Thanks for checking us out. If you're inclined, please leave a review on iTunes or mention us in your social media feeds. Thanks!

This is the international sign for "sorry for this horrible movie."

"Smell my fingers...what is that, hotdog?"

NEXT UP:
We watch the made-legendary-by-Patton-Oswalt DEATH BED: THE BED THAT EATS. Be here in 2 weeks!

Treasure of the Four Crowns

It's belated, but we are finally publishing our TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS episode. Get it on iTunes or here (right-click and 'save as').

"This is me excited..."

Featuring the most random ending we've seen on the show...

Next up, we bravely enter the 21st century with the 2005 unauthorized sequel to Romero's Day of the Dead: Day of the Dead 2: Contagium.

EDIT: Scott was pretty sure the star (Tony Anthony) was Robert Romanus, the guy who played Mike Damone in Fast Times at Ridgemont High...who Matt kept referring to as Vic Damone! What do you think? Is Scott crazy? Tell us in the comments!!!

HARD ROCK ZOMBIES

The new, belated episode is here. We missed Kyle, but we had a blast talking to our dear friend from the North, Devin Bruce. The Hard Rock Zombies episode is available through iTunes or here (right-click and 'save as').

Devin's other podcasts: Scotch & Comics -The Listmakers! Check them out!

Anything to get out of this movie, eh, bub?

Yeah. No witty caption is going to top the visual here.

Ep25: CONQUEST...UPDATE...and next

We discuss Lucio Fulci's wild & gory 1983 sword & sorcery film Conquest. You can get it on iTunes or download it from here (right-click and 'save as').

"Is this the right place for the H.R. Pufnstuf auditions?"

 

"Why so serious?"

"I'll be Fabio, you be Mick Jagger"

UPDATE: We have completed our iRiff of Invasion of the Bee Girls. We are putting the finishing touches on it and will be releasing it ASAP. Thanks for all the positive feedback on the preview.

NEXT UP: Kyle takes a break from the show so we'll be joined by Devin Bruce (comics, movie, and booze fan and all-around swell guy) to discuss HARD ROCK ZOMBIES.

(What's So Funny 'Bout) Freeze, Love & Immortality?

We are very pleased to present our FROZEN SCREAM episode. Kyle described it as the celluloid equivalent of peyote. Once you break on through to the other side of this beast, it gets you in its claws and doesn't let go. Available through iTunes or on our Libsyn page.
As always, please leave a review of the show on iTunes or wherever you get it. Thanks! Stay trashy!

"I'm the only reason anyone ever rented this movie EVER..."

Emergency Double Feature

Scott felt that Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (it's just one night, by the way) didn't have enough rotting meat on its Italian bones to fill a whole podcast, so he requested a double feature with The Crater Lake Monster (1977), or, as Matt likes to call it, "The Cracker Lake Monster."

Coming up for Halloween...

Now that we're Stabilized, we're moving on to a classic zombie film from Italy: Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (original title: Le Notti del Terrore, a.k.a. The Zombie Dead, a.k.a. Zombie 3). This film features ancient Etruscan zombies, some impressive make-up, and the greatest mother-son relationship in cinematic history. Enjoy the might and majesty of Peter Bark, the full-grown midget who plays a young boy. Crazy.

Get your Spookies here!

Our discussion of Spookies is available. The episode should appear on iTunes soon. The file can be downloaded directly from here.

EPISODE 02 - THE VIDEO DEAD IS HERE!

Well, we almost met our goal of making the episode shorter than the movie. We'll be re-formatting a bit for Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare to make sure the show is closer to an hour in length. The show is embedded in a player in this message, but can also be downloaded from Libsyn HERE and on iTunes. Happy listening and help spread the word by mouth, Twitter, or wherever you go. We appreciate it.
