EPISODE 23: TERENCE CUSHER AND THE SLIMY LIMEY FINALISTS!

Very soon we'll  be posting the final poll for the almighty Slimy Limeys. In the meantime, we'd like you to enjoy Episode 23. This is the episode where Jim comes off much dumber than usual, we talk some Kung-Fu vamps, Ryan hates on Bride of Frankenstein and all is right with the world of horrors. For a special treat, Ryan plays a bit of trivia with the closing song--why did we choose it? Hmmm?

Seeing as the next episode will be devoted to the Slimy Limeys and our latest top 10 lists, we will not be reviewing films as normal. HOWEVER, you still have some homework. Here are the films we've chosen for next time:

Ryan:

The Legend of Hell House (1973)

Jim:

The Shadow of the Cat (1961)

This gives us all 2 months to find and view these films. The Legend of Hell House should be easy enough to find, but The Shadow of the Cat might be a little tougher. Jim actually recorded this film off of Svengoolie a couple of weeks ago. You're more than welcome to watch it at his house!

Our top 10 lists will be a little different this year--we're going to list our favorite British horror films. We're both very excited about it. As usual, we'd like to encourage all of our listeners to write in and give us your top 10 lists as well. They're always fun to share.

Lastly, during out last Slimy Limey show we had a listener or two Skype in and contribute to the show. If it's something you're interested in doing, drop us a line and we'll try and work it out. Our times might be a little off with our friends in Britain and Europe, but the offer goes out to all.

Peace.
Love.
Wellington.

I FEEL FANTASTIC.

This is probably the scariest thing we've seen online. Good luck.

EPISODE 22: RUDERS IN THE MUE MORGUE

There is a lot of information in this episode.

Amidst the chaos of life, it seems we both found enough time to watch a bunch of horror movies to discuss. We begin with the newest Hammer film, The Quiet Ones, and then seem to work backwards from there to Naschy and on to Lugosi. Just a warning--although we try to be vague about The Quiet Ones, it still may contain some spoilers. You might want to watch the film before listening to us.

We read some quality email for this episode with a great top 10 list, review our movie choices from episode 21 and then move on to talk about the 2nd annual Slimy Limeys.






You'll have to listen in to find out all the particulars about voting, but I've posted all of the films here for you guys (and gals?) to vote on. First off, we need to pick which films you feel should be in the correct categories. Pick one from the loser list to be in the winner list and one from the winners to the losers. Don't care for the poll? It's okay. You can email us or tweet us with your choices as well. You'll notice The Man Who Could Cheat Death and Tower of Evil both in the loser category; since Ryan and I tied on our votes for these films, you get the chance to pick your favorite if you want it to move on to the next voting round.

Enough! Listen and vote!

Jim's choice for next time:

The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974)

Ryan's pick:

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

Email us with questions or comments about voting or anything else you'd like to share.

WELLINGTON!

EPISODE 21: HANDS OF THE RIPPER/THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN

It is HERE.

During this episode, we talk about the petition, some great films that we've watched recently (some British, some not) and, since this year marks the 60th anniversary, Godzilla!

Our films for next time:

Jim: The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959)

Ryan: Tower of Evil (or Horror on Snape Island) (1972) 

WELLINGTON!

DELAYED

We're sorry for the delay in posting episode 21. Ryan has a new project at work and I'm moving into another position (we really do have jobs). We're running a bit behind in our hobbies.

We wish we could just be British horror podcast hobos. Then life would be easy.

We promise to get 21 up as soon as we can.

Thanks,

Jim & Ryan

HELP BRING ESSENTIAL HAMMER BLU-RAYS TO THE STATES!

Our official librarian and good friend, Eric gave us the info on this yesterday.

To say the very least, we're stoked.

We've sent out the message on Twitter, but in case you haven't seen it, Diabolique Magazine has started a petition on their website to bring some of our favorite Hammer films to the United States on Blu-Ray.

We've talked about these titles repeatedly on the show and as it turns out, Warner Bros. seems to be the cause for us not getting the films on Blu-Ray over here.

Bummer.

Well, maybe this is our chance to do something about it. Please click  here to sign the petition. Last time I checked, the petition had a total of 2,046 signatures on a goal of 10,000. Not too bad considering it's only been up a couple of days. Yesterday when I checked there were about 1,700. After signing the petition, make sure you scroll down to read a pretty great article by Bruce G. Hallenbeck on why these movies are so important to the genre.

As a side note, we were pretty excited to get a re-tweet and an actual response from Hammer films simply stating, "@ProfCushing Good show, old chap!" Where we really wish we could take the credit for starting the petition itself, we can't and won't pretend to. It's all on Bruce G. Hallenbeck and the crew at Diabolique. That being said, we'll do our very best to get the word out to support Diabolique and Bruce in this noble endeavor.

We hope you'll do the same.

WELLINGTON!

EPISODE 20: DAMN IT, FRANCO!

Episode 20 has posted. If you haven't downloaded it yet, it's available here. And you know what? It's free too! That's right–all the bullshit, all the love, all the reviews and the Franco hatred you can stand in a two hour episode. All for $0.00. Or €0.00. Or £0.00. Or even 元0.00 for our dedicated listeners in Taipei. 

One editor's note that I'll need to bring to your attention–we talk briefly about Max Deacon's new novel , The Wolf Girl during the first part of the show. As it turns out, there was a problem with email and we only received the last third of the book that Max sent. There are actually about 27 chapters in The Wolf Girl and it's not a "novella" as Jim stated during the episode. Luckily, Jim only made it through the first part of the book and nothing was spoiled. Well, not too much anyway. 

We're looking forward to reading the entire novel and reviewing it for you soon. 

Our film choices for episode 21: 

Ryan's pick:

The Hands of the Ripper (1971) 

Jim's pick:

The Abominable Snowman (1957)

Hey, how about that Macabre Minute on 20? You like Franco? Naschy? Let us know! We'll gladly read your thoughts on episode 21.


WELLINGTON!
