    Shatter Dead w Evan Dean Shelton + VOIDCON

    Explicit

    Horror author, Noise/black metal musician, and event organizer Evan Dean Shelton joins us to talk about Scooter McRae's cult classic, zombies that are just sort of annoying, the difference between horror and self-help fiction, the need for freedom of expression, writing as a magical implement, story as a container for darkness, telling tales as a cosmic digestive process, and more. VOIDCON is an indie horror, noise/metal, creator convention going down on October 13-14 in Huntington, WV and it's shaping up to be a hell of a first year. Scooter McRae's latest film will be screened, Stark Raven will be in attendance, some of our favorite indie authors will be there, bands, snacks. If you're into this scene, or even curious, you don't wanna miss it.VOIDCON Info & TicketsEvan's Podcasts:The Lurking Transmission / PatreonDa Art of Storytelling / Patreon

    DONATE<3We were delighted to chat with our astrologer friend Mel Priestley about probably the best monster flick of all time. We discuss when, and how much, to worry about astro timing in magic and the traps that come along with spirit work as a primary source of income. Plus Mel runs a chart for the movie itself and we delve deep into the universality of "the floor is lava", the strange implications of a cult classic being released amidst Mercury retrograde, and the alarming potentialities of horror films with a Diana Walsh Pasulka-esque metaphysics in mind. This is an all-timer, to be real with you.Mel's Website, where you can book a session.Mel's Insta

    DONATE<3Coffee snobs. High tinkering. A great prequel to Evangelion. Machines: the new middle man. Is Hideaki Anno the Godzilla of Anime? Summer Time Rendering is the Groundhog Day of Anime (minus the ending). Bad trip sounds. The retail path to enlightenment. The ever deepening insidiousness of glitter. Splash is a weird movie. The Tom Hanks contiguous universe. Watching waves. Scandinavian lighting.

    DONATE =)After his last appearance for Videodrome, we decided to bring the show to his backyard with a very place-based movie. Owen brings some great stories, lore, and reflections on both this wild film and his own neighborhood, near which the movie was shot. It was cool as hell to get the local tea on some of these references and archetypal commentaries.Hobo King Kill 33. The Lady of Los Angeles and other composite beings. Roles akimbo. Making Frodo cry. Nepotism is just networking. The Great Sky Hand. The high price of super powers. Star spirits. Angel magic. Dream amulets. Magical powders. Tips on using Rev’s angel oil. Metaphysics of big spirit elevations. Bird gang wars. And a lot more.
