Kings Town Ted
Anthony DP Mann
It's Nature vs Man Round 2...on the card are Deadly Spider and Killer Croc films.
Compromise is the order of the day as we had trouble picking the topic so we'll throw 'em both out this week. Anthony pushes through his arachnophobia to discuss the film of the same name, Kingdom of the Spiders, Tarantula and 8 Legged Freaks while Ted gets to toss out some picks from a favorite sub-genre: Lake Placid, Black Water and Rogue.
It's long overdue so we spend some time going through the 'ol mailbag again. A thank you again to all for corresponding and sending in great comments and suggestions. Last but not least we take a moment to reflect on just what the hell is going on with Joaquin Phoenix (Link to the Joaquin Rap).

NATURE vs MAN 2:
8 LEGGED CROCS

Another year, another snub by the Academy of Arts and Science to the genre of horror.
In response to the 'grand dame' of awards shows, we devoted this weeks episode to an overview of the history of horror cinema. The oversights that occurred, the relation of each category to the genre of horror (perhaps none more reliant upon costume design or makeup), and some of our own selections which could comprise historic nominees. Perhaps the Academy will never be willing to bestow the honor of Best Actor upon Anthony Perkins for portraying Norman Bates but we certainly are. So if the bloated self congratulatory over-indulgence that is the Oscars is not doing it for you then spend some time with us honouring the best of the genre throughout history.
Of course we discuss Friday the 13th '09 but try to stick to the main points, some exciting Nightmare on Elm Street news (concerning Horroretc, not casting rumours), Coraline and more. The show caps off with a trip down memory lane: the They Live Fight Scene between Roddy Piper and Keith David.

You are ALL our children now...
At long last, we have arrived at our Nightmare on Elm Street Retrospective. The plan is to deliver a 3 episode arc revisiting the classic series through all its highs and lows. The Nightmare films represent a a significant phase in our development as horror fans and there is no doubt the original film played a huge role in getting us hooked into the genre. And so with that we begin the retrospective by dedicating this episode to our first feature length commentary track to 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street. Sync up your copy and watch along with us or listen and reminisce about this modern day classic.
Stay tuned for our next installment coming soon.

Part 2 of our Nightmare on Elm Street retrospective series...
It was a great experience to revisit this classic franchise again with a fresh perspective. The argument may be made that the series of sequels which followed the 1984 original failed to reach the same heights in terms of quality and effectiveness. With that in mind however we give fair consideration to Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, Part 3: Dream Warriors and Part 4: The Dream Master. It may have been a void few wanted filled but we spend a solid 30 minutes dissecting Part 2 and theorizing over the potential subtexts to be found.
So this week we offer an in-depth look at the first 3 sequels. We approached this retrospective from the viewpoint that all listeners have seen this series of films but....please be aware the films are discussed in their entirety and as such the plots are thoroughly spoiled.
Stay tuned through to the end to harken back to yesteryear in a special themed instalment of Schlock Corner featuring the Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff.

The third chapter of our Nightmare on Elm Street retrospective....
Continuing on with our in-depth discussion of each installment of the series, this week we cover the highs and lows that came with Part 5: The Dream Child, Part 6: Freddy's Dead and Part 7: New Nightmare...not to worry, the ultimate franchise sequel Freddy vs Jason is covered (again). And of course what over-exposed horror franchise conversation would be complete without reflecting on its short lived television adaptation.
And so our very enjoyable series of episodes dedicated to the Nightmare films comes to a close....sort of. Yes, we have a special treat lined up for episode 76 which may of interest to fans of the series. Please stay tuned.
We close out this weeks episode with a cool little flash animated clip in schlock corner called Kill Fill, check out the link. Special thanks to Dave Bryant for the excellent Freddy artwork, check out more of his work at DaveBryantGo.blogspot.com.
