Dread Media

As Monty Python used to say: "And now for something completely different!" This week, Dread Media helps take a stand against those who would put children in danger. Greg Lamberson joins Desmond for a discussion about Victor Salva, director of the upcoming third installation of his Jeepers Creepers series. In the discussion, they wonder why, when there are so many other thriving independent artists struggling to make films on pocket change, theatre chains like AMC and Regal Cinema, as well as producers like Francis Ford Coppola, continue to wholeheartedly support a convicted, unrepentant pedophile. Then, just so things don't drag the entire episode into an abyss of real-world horror, Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a Stay Scary on Green Room director (and upcoming True Detective mastermind) Jeremy Saulnier's early film Murder Party. Finally, Rich the Monster Movie Kid reviews War for the Planet of the Apes. Songs included: "Silver Rocket" by Sonic Youth, "The Ape's Shuffle" by Jeff Wayne Space Shuttle, and "Could

This week, Dread Media once again travels to the world of childhood terror: children we should be afraid of, things children should be afraid of, and the power that some children can have and the world that hates them for it. First, Desmond and Duane look at the young life of a fascist ruler post-World War I in The Childhood of a Leader. Then Rich the Monster Movie Kid gives us a review of a prequel to a spinoff about a children's toy: Annabelle: Creation. Finally, Devil Dinosaur Jr. watches a girl with strange powers hunted by the forces of good and evil in The Visitor. And we've got songs as always: "Obedience School" by Dead Cross, "Little Bastard" by Ass Ponys, "Creepy Doll" by Jonathan Coulton, "Oppression" by Satan, and "Death Whispered a Lullaby" by Opeth.

It's a week of cinematic oddities this week on Dread Media with two weirdo Japanese films and a tribute to the late George Romero sandwiched in between. First up, Desmond and Duane try to go in depth on Sion Sono's bizarre film Tag. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid talks about his love for Romero's labor of love: Knightriders. Then Devil Dinosaur Jr. goes back to 1973 to review the dreamlike rape / revenge animated Japanese film Belladonna of Sadness. Keep Dread Media weird! Songs include: "All of Our Lives Will Get Tried" by Superjoint Ritual, "Tag, You're It!" by Alice Cooper, "Neon Knights" by Black Sabbath, "Sadder than You" by Fig. 4, and "She Lives in Color" by Shooter Jennings.

Welcome to the first post-Europe podcast for Dread Media. It's been at least six weeks since Desmond has recorded a podcast, even though it's only been a week since the last Dread Media. Desmond kicks off the show by running down the Europe trip and then telling a story about the time last night his little dog fought a cougar. And not a fun cougar. A real one. Then, having enough with reality, the show veers into science fiction as Desmond interviews authors David Agranoff and Edward R Morris about their collaborative epic, dirty sci-fi novel out now from Grand Mal Press: Flesh Trade. The guys discuss their influences and their process for collaborating, as well as other projects in an hour-long interview. Then, keeping the sci-fi going, Rich the Monster Movie Kid tells us his thoughts about Luc Besson's return to the genre in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Some cosmic tunes for you: "Enslaver" by Ram, "Slave New World" by Sepultura, "Space Oddity" by David Bowie, and "Space Police" by Edguy. Se

Desmond is back from vacation, and perhaps it's the fact that he's dreading work that he brought this episode to you this week: workplace horror. First, Adam, Desmond, and Jeff look at a movie where an insurance investigator goes looking for a best-selling author who has missed his deadline in their review of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. Then, Desmond goes solo in reviews of corporate horror stories: Bentley Little's novel The Consultant, and James Gunn and Greg McLean's film The Belko Experiment. Then, nothing tells you how much of a hard job filmmaking is than the Astron 6 film about making a movie: The Editor. Tunes include: "Workin' Man" by Hank Williams III, "In the Mouth of Madness" by John Carpenter and Jim Lang, "Grim Business" by Iron Reagan, "The Cutting Room" by Pig Destroyer, and "I Hate My Job (live)" by Butthole Surfers.

What if I told you that you weren't reading these show notes right now? Think I'm crazy? Well, maybe I'm just crazy enough to broadcast these notes and this podcast into your mind! Or not. Whatever. Jeez. Anyway. This week, Chris and Desmond dive into the character actor-laden psychic thriller The Fury. Then Desmond goes solo on another character actor-laden psychic thriller: Firestarter. Enjoy. I'll even beam some tunes right into your brain: "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by Blue Oyster Cult, "Learn to Bleed" by Doyle, "Eyes Ripping Fire" by Danzig, and "Play with Fire" by Cobra Verde.

This week, Desmond may have lost the original episode slated for this week, but that didn't stop him from working harder and producing another one for your listening pleasure. This episode is based around investigative horror. First, Duane and Desmond review The Quiet Ones, where a group of scholars conduct an experiment on a troubled young girl. Then, Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a Stay Scary on The Appointment, where a malevolent force preys upon a family. Then Desmond presents a Dread Media Top Five on fun, weird, investigative pulp horror across all media. Then, of course there's music: "The Experiment" by Prometheon, "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Slade, "My Girl" by Madness, "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion" by Fantomas, and "World Gone Mad" by Life of Agony.

First up, Desmond and Duane look at the upcoming martial arts action / horror film Karate Kill.

This week, we've got another episode of female monsters. Look out, because the female of the species is deadlier than the male. First up, Desmond and Duane study the Danish werewolf film When Animals Dream. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid does a postmortem on Ahmanet in the 2017 Universal reboot The Mummy. Finally, Desmond returns to discuss the procedures involved in dealing with zombies that have thoughts and feelings until they are tempted by flesh, especially when it involves The Girl with All the Gifts.

This week, Desmond and Duane dig into the new horror film Bethany, so much that they had to record a separate spoiler section of their review for the very end of the episode. So stay tuned for that.

Then there's music: "Batman Theme" by Al Hirt, "Psychic Twin" by Gruesome, "Love Won't Desert Us" by Push Kings, and "The Story of Batman" by Adam West. RIP Adam West.

This week, the show that almost wasn't is a really good one. So be thankful that it is. Not "is good," just plain is. Anyway, two films of similar tone and theme are discussed. Desmond and Duane's disagree on things in their review of the Netflix production (and epically titled): I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House. Then, Rich the Monster Movie Kid dives into another slow-burn film dealing with a woman on her own in Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl. Shorter episode, longer titles. It's a thing. Look it up! Also, this episode features the most eclectic mix of music that has perhaps ever been on the show: "Make Me Wanna Die" by The Pretty Reckless, "Baby, Let's Play House" by Buddy Holly, "Lonely Girl" by Lion, and "Strange Little Girls" by Tori Amos.

This week, we begin the show with a giveaway and a tribute to a rockstar. Then Megan and our Dutch daughter joins me for a review of Jordan Peele's debut film Get Out. I mean, you need to know what three white people on a podcast have to think about that one, right? Also, Rich the Monster Movie Kid reviews The Devil's Candy. Finally, I go solo on a review of Walerian Borowczyk's arthouse sleazefest, The Beast. Also, tunes: "Get the Fuck Outta Dodge" by Public Enemy, "Hypnotize" by System of A Down, "The Devil in I" by Slipknot, "The Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold, and "4th of July" by Soundgarden.

This week, Dread Media wants you to be complicit. First off, Desmond interviews handsome author of crime and horror noir Ed Kurtz about his process, why he doesn't like discussing genre (even though I mention it in the show notes), and upcoming adaptations of his work. Then, Duane joins Desmond for a review of the Scandinavian comedic crime film In Order of Disappearance. There are also some tunes: "Give the Mule What He Wants" by Queens of the Stone Age; "Bleeder" by Mutoid Man; "It Snows In Hell" by Lordi; and "The World's Gone Mad" by Handsome Boy Modelling School featuring Del the Funky Homosapien, Barrington Levy, and Alex Kapranos.

It's women in peril / women in captivity week on Dread media. First up, the softcore housewife porn of 50 Shades of Grey meets Eli Roth in Desmond and Duane's review of Deadly Virtues: Love.Honour.Obey. Then Desmond goes solo on two Jess Franco women-in-prison films: Blue Undergrounds three-disc unrated director's cut of 99 Women, and Full Moon Entertainment's Women in Cellblock 9. Finally, Desmond reviews a comic book, this time an aging actress's emptiness at her lack of fame is filled with something sinister in the Image Comics release Glitterbomb: Red Carpet. Of course, there are songs: "Pretty Tied Up" by Guns N' Roses, "Pain of Pleasure / Virtues of Vice" by Vio-Lence, "Island of Domination" by Judas Priest, "Fuck You (I'm Famous)" by Shooter Jennings, and "The Prisoner" by Suicidal Tendencies.

This week, Desmond and Duane highlight two under-appreciated horror gems form the early 1980s. First up, a farmer needs a special ingredient for his roadside fritters in Motel Hell. Then, a man works through his issues with the opposite sex in Pieces. Songs: "Lord, Don't Let Me Die in a Cheap Motel" by Banjo & Sullivan, "Motel Hell" and "1000 Cries Has the Night" by The Browns, and "Hell's Motel" by MD.45.

This week, Dread Media gets topical. First off, Brian Yuzna's 1989 brilliant and gooey satire of the ruling class is never more relevant than it is today in Desmond and Darryll's review of Society. Then, women may often be viewed as sexual playthings by many men, but in Desmond and Duane's review of the Swiss folk horror film Sennentuntschi, we see that they are not to be toyed with. Fun fact about each of today's songs: each track played is the fourth track on its respective album, except for one which is an unreleased cover track. Enjoy: "Control" by Biohazard, "Society" by Pennywise, "Ford Mustang" by Mike Patton, and "The Evil that Men Do" by Iron Maiden. Send feedback to: feedback@dreadmedia.net, or 206.278.5257.
