Episode 24--Odds and Sods



Hello, you lovely deviants!


This week, I do something radical. There is no movie review, no scream queen of the week, no news and reviews.


Instead, I offer some original content.


It looks like Cthulhu's gettin' some head...literally.

First up, is Evidently Dungeontown, a collaborative spoof that Dillon and I wrote and recorded about a D&D game gone wrong.



Next up is my partly fiction, partly truthful, story I Wanna Be Malcolm McLaren.


Ads from our sponsors S-Mart and Trader Zombie's Supernatural Foods, are scattered throughout. I also offer up this Talking Points question, "Is the internet the future of television?"


This episode is the shortest of the series so far: only about thirty-five minutes in length.


I wanted to take a break this week from the usual formula, and give listeners a dose of original content. I hope you enjoy this week's installment.

As always, you can listen to this episode, and all episodes, here on the site. Or you can download us from Archive.org

Video of the Week
My short video of crows on Tresure Island in San Francisco.
I may release a second version of this, which will include either voice overs or music. But for now, take in the strangeness of nature.

Episode 11: Moral Panics!

This week: Johnny Zombie and Dillon discuss a range of topics in this episode--from "Let the Right One In," to the satanic panic of the 1980's. This episode focuses largely on moral panics, and their causes. Be it Dungeons and Dragons, heavy metal music, or homophobia--moral panics are an unfortunate part of our culture. The solution that we offer is to learn about other subcultures, from the people who live in them.

Episode Seven--Saturday Morning Cartoons of the 1980's

Good evening, Children of the Night!

This week we have a FULLY loaded show, as we remember cartoons of the 1980's...in a horror, sci-fi, and sword and sorcery vein. We discuss such classic shows as The Real Ghostbusters, Droids, and Ewoks. We also touch on the childhood cultural phenomenon known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which will have its own episode...soon enough).


We also discuss not so classic efforts as Thundar The Barbarian (paging Robert E. Howard! Someone has ripped off our favorite barbarian), and The Dungeons and Dragons cartoon (a diamond in the rough, that could use some polish).  
(Left) Sheila The Rogue, one of the early influences on my redhead addiction. 
Thanks to D&D for my unsatisfied yearnings. (Right) Thundar channels Conan and Luke.    

We also revisit the now famous Time-Life book series, The Enchanted World, in commericals hosted by Vincent Price! (see embeded video).

This is the longest episode of the podcast so far, two hours and four minutes! I hope you have as much fun as Dillon and I did. You can listen to the discussion here, or download us from Archive.org 

As bonus features, I have embeded several videos and links this week.
Such as...
Top Cartoon Crushes

Fugitoid and the TMNT (Scroll back a few pages to get to the origin story of Fugitoid)

In love and monsters,
Johnny Zombie
