Episode 96: Bring Back All Big Tastes
Queen Venerator
We are back after a six (!) month abscence, but we actually have good reasons for it for once. After bemoaning our new tech issues, we talk about big life changes, including Brad moving and subsequently becoming a "thrifting" guy and Sean becoming a chef roaming the wastes of the midwest. We also discuss a bunch of other topics including the cleaning advice subreddit, Brad making a bird wall, the geography of Michigan, Diablo 4, Cherry Falls and Brittney Murphy’s special request, the movie The Kiss, Troma stuff, innocuous horror movie lines, who is the dorkiest quarterback, Sean does...

Queen Venerator
On this episode, our friend Paul joins us again to discuss the 1986 Adam Baldwin, Deborah Foreman, and Wings Hauser (?) vehicle 3:15 The Moment of Truth, the story of a D-II basketball prospect's struggle to defeat the biggest gang of dorks on the planet. We also discuss the wretched scourge of local Cleveland television Big Chuck and Little John, the various fits of Adam Baldwin, the disambiguation of Chooch, watching My Bodyguard in sociology class, Reggie's hat from Phantasm 2, Gene Labell, the ruthless efficiency of the Cobrettes, and the absolutely perplexing Wings Hauser cameo....

Episode 93: Fetch Me 500,000 Gallons of Water | King Solomon's Mines (1985)
Queen Venerator
What happens when a man's creation becomes his agent of destruction? Well, the Modern Prometheus (Brad) finds out when his Frankingstein monster (The Board of Many Things) immediately turns on him as it casts an uncaring eye towards the 1985 Cannon ripoff of Indiana Jones King Solomon's Mines. Despite being directed by J. Lee Thompson (Cape Fear, Guns of the Navarone, Mackenna's Gold, 10 to Midnight), scored by Jerry Goldsmith (Alien, Patton, Chinatown, Papillon), and starring Richard Chamberlain (The Towering Inferno, The Thorn Birds, Shogun), Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct, The Quick and...

Episode 92: Helen Mirren's Giant Bowl of Fruit
Queen Venerator
We're back with another quick B-Sides episode (yeah, it was always called that don't look into it). This time around we discuss incredibly old gum that is prone to disintegrating, a belated 311 Day celebration, The Long Good Friday and its amazing decor, a very silly crime docudrama narrated by Robert Stack, and more nu-metal talk. Yes, of course Puya is discussed, but you already knew that. --- Website: Instagram: Bluesky:

Episode 91: Like a Werewolf in the Weeds | FromSoftware... Sort Of
Queen Venerator
Oh wow. We've got a heater of an episode for you today. This time around, Sean and Brad are joined by first ever Queen Venerator guest Joe to discuss the work of Japanese video game publisher FromSoftware. Kind of. Look, there's a decent amount of discussion about FromSoft throughout their long, illustrious history, and yes Joe does a wonderful job conveying the true emotional pull these games can have on people, and yes we discuss Joe's infamously peculiar FromSoft collection. But lets face it, the Queen Venerator crew get distracted easily, so they break off into a multitude of tangents. The...

Episode 90: Iron City Sixer in an Open Grave | Amazing Stories - S2: E8 - "Go to the Head of the Class"
Queen Venerator
Mother Earth tried to stop this episode from coming out, but we are back after yet another extended absence. Yes, this episode was so powerful the gods tried to silence it by knocking out the power THREE TIMES during this recording. But despite Sean's audio being dealt a mortal wound (it's fine, you'll get over it), we got this thing across the finish line, and this time Sean brought a heater of a topic: "Go to the Head of the Class", the infamous season two episode Steven Spielberg's NBC anthology show Amazing Stories. This episode stars Mary Stuart Masterson, podcast spectre Tom Bresnahan,...

Episode 89: Drinking on That Six Demon Bag | Siskel and Ebert, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and MTV's Fear
Queen Venerator
The podcast is back at full strength as Sean returns to the co-chair on this one. You would think all that time away would give us time to find new and exciting things to talk about, but thankfully we immediately fall back into our habit of talking about garbage no one has cared about for literal decades. This time around there's a long discussion about Siskel and Ebert's At the Movies and the insane opinions of these two maniacs: Pleasantville being better than Saving Private Ryan, Babe: Pig in the City also being better than Saving Private Ryan, Black Stallion being better than Raging...

Episode 88: Top 100 Albums of 2023
Queen Venerator
We're back after a four month hiatus to bring you our list of the top 100 albums of 2023. Is it, at bare minimum, a month and a half late? Yes. By "we" do we mean "just Brad because Sean wouldn't want any part of this nonsense"? Yes again. But whatever, we're doing it anyway. It has been another great year for music, which at this point should not be shocking. We've got incredible team-ups galore, big names from the past making a mark in the present, new names bursting on to the scene, everything and the kitchen sink albums, spoken word weirdness, hip-hop standard bearers still innovating,...
info_outlineOn this episode, we discuss the 1982 Sogo Ishii cyberpunk film Burst City, 1984's Avenging Angel, the album Great Texan by wrestling legend Terry Funk, a week of fantasy football garbage, and a ranking of discontinued fast food items.
