Cory usually brings the funk, but today he's got the punk with a pair of movies that warped his young mind way back in the 80s. And he's also brining along film historian and commentary track superstar Marc Edward Heuck in an episode we call CORY'S PUNK ROCK AND SHOCK TIL YOU DROP! (Or at least that's what Bob called it when he hyped it in our last episode.) Cory's first pick is LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS (1982--kinda), a movie most of us discovered on USA Network's glorious NIGHT FLIGHT in the mid-80s. This movie about a defiant girl punk band getting out of their shitty mill town inspired L7 and Bikini Kill to start bands, and even Jon Bon Jovi cites it as an influence. JBJ notwithstanding, our world would be a crappier place without it. Marc contributed two commentary tracks to the excellent new Fun City Editions 4K UHD and Blu-ray release so he will tell you all about the movie that Paramount could not keep down. Then, the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo capture their crazed stage show in the surreal PHANTOM ZONE (1980). And if that wasn't enough, they added Hervé Villechaize and Susan Tyrrell as the king and queen to make it even weirder. Streaming on Roku, Tubi, Plex and more. In the intro segment, Marc tells us what it's like to record commentary tracks, Bob talks about the wonders of digital broadcast with all the MeTVs there, and Cory and Philena extol the virtues of low-budget TV jingles.

Verónica Fernández estrena sintonía propia en Días Extraños —«Weird Science» de Oingo Boingo, ahí es nada— y lo hace abriendo una puerta incómoda: la de nuestra propia biología. Si en la anterior entrega nos preguntábamos qué significa ser una «persona humana», hoy ampliamos el foco para cuestionar algo aún más básico: qué significa ser un individuo biológico. Porque resulta que, mientras tú lees esto, estás dejando rastro. Un rastro físico, real y rastreable, que flota, se posa y persiste allí por donde pasas. Un viaje por la ciencia que estudia lo que no vemos pero está, con aplicaciones fascinantes en ecología, conservación y criminalística… y con implicaciones éticas y filosóficas que harán que mires distinto cualquier habitación cerrada. Y sí, también cualquier tarta de cumpleaños. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Reel Big Fish covers a lot of songs, but is this one of the good ones? There is some disagreements amongst the hosts as well as our guest, Jason Hatfield, from such illustrious bands such as The b Sharps and The Maxies. Which song am I referring to? The RBF cover of "We Close Our Eyes" originally played by Oingo Boingo and appearing on the "Dead Band's Party" Oingo Boingo tribute album.

Dr. Strange Records' Bill Plaster talks Summer Bash and the chaos of booking a festival, punk history, record collecting, Live Strange, and how punk rock can genuinely change lives. Get Summer Bash tix here  |  Follow Dr Strange for Live Strange here Topics Include: Bill Plaster of Dr. Strange Records joins to discuss the upcoming Summer Bash. Punk Rock Bowling's cancellation — visa bans, politics, venue loss — created the opportunity. Bill connected with Gallo, who runs the Fox Theater and the Cathedral in Pomona. The Cathedral: a stunning, refurbished 1921 four-story YMCA venue hosting the event. A massive two-day lineup — 30-plus bands across punk, hardcore, and old-school SoCal. Notable acts include the Effigies, Channel 3, the Skulls, featuring Kevin from Green Day. Every band asked said yes — Bill takes no money, purely doing it for the community. Dealing with booking agents was the biggest headache of organising the festival. Planning started in November; Bill hopes Summer Bash becomes an annual event. The Punk in the Park cancellations discussed — Bill argues protest with your vote, not boycotts. Bill credits Rod for building Dr. Strange's social media profile and making the festival possible. Bill's mentorship philosophy: punk rock can genuinely change lives for the better. The Dr. Strange "family" ethos — making fun of people with love, never punching down. Bill's book discussed — early punk discoveries via Damned, Buzzcocks, and XTC seven-inches. The brutal gang violence at early 80s LA/SoCal punk shows — constantly watching your back. A close call at Spanky's: the guy next to Bill got stabbed during a Guttermouth gig. Biggest missed show regret: skipped Oingo Boingo due to peer pressure from girls in line. Never saw Black Flag — their reputation for brutality genuinely scared him off. Eight years of mail order before opening the store; Voodoo Glow Skulls his biggest-selling record. Live Strange runs Wednesdays and Fridays — the cowbell is Bill's money-back guarantee.

Composer-rockstar Danny Elfman invites SCORE into his state-of-the-art studio to discuss a lifetime of continuous innovation, from collecting macabre curiosities for his own inspiration to embarking on new musical pursuits with A$AP Rocky (even performing for the first time on SNL).Why Danny searches for the extremes to express human emotion in music, how a Coachella experiment launched a new phase performing next to bands like Tool and Limp Bizkit, and what's the story behind getting all of those tattoos? Plus, finding the voice for Sam Raimi's acclaimed new film Send Help, the anxious percussions of Gus Van Sant's Dead Man's Wire, and the sweeping romance of Luc Besson's Dracula — all at the same time.Also, the harrowing moment with Oingo Boingo in concert that led to him ripping off his shirt in live shows to jam with fellow musicians, and the supernatural energies he taps into when he enters peak creativity.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader in Los Angeles. Production coordination by Kyle Bales and Bryan Williams. Special thanks to Sydney Worden and Melisa McGregor.

Chad Daybell's Love Letters to Tammy EXPOSED: Fiction or Reality? On Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski and the crew unpack Letter Two from Chad Daybell's prison writings, where he devotes the entire entry to Tammy Daybell — the wife he was later convicted of conspiring to kill. Chad paints a glowing portrait of their early romance, marriage, and family life. He gushes over their first meeting, the Oingo Boingo and B-52s concerts they attended, and the book company they built together. He describes Tammy as vibrant, kind, and angelic — almost saintlike in his retelling. But the irony is suffocating: this is the same man convicted of orchestrating Tammy's murder, burying children in his backyard, and plotting alongside Lori Vallow in one of the most infamous cult-driven cases in American true crime. The hosts break down the surreal contradictions. How does a man convicted of family annihilation manage to write love letters that sound like Hallmark scripts? How does nostalgia about “family dance parties” ring when you know what he really did? With sharp banter and biting analysis, this segment reveals the psychological gymnastics of a killer desperate to rewrite his own history. It's unsettling, absurd, and a darkly fascinating glimpse into how Chad Daybell sees himself — and how far he'll go to manipulate even from death row. #ChadDaybell #TammyDaybell #LoriVallow #DaybellTrial #CultCrimes #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeObsessed #PodcastClips #CourtCase #FamilyMurder Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski and the crew unpack Letter Two from Chad Daybell's prison writings, where he devotes the entire entry to Tammy Daybell — the wife he was later convicted of conspiring to kill. Chad paints a glowing portrait of their early romance, marriage, and family life. He gushes over their first meeting, the Oingo Boingo and B-52s concerts they attended, and the book company they built together. He describes Tammy as vibrant, kind, and angelic — almost saintlike in his retelling. But the irony is suffocating: this is the same man convicted of orchestrating Tammy's murder, burying children in his backyard, and plotting alongside Lori Vallow in one of the most infamous cult-driven cases in American true crime. The hosts break down the surreal contradictions. How does a man convicted of family annihilation manage to write love letters that sound like Hallmark scripts? How does nostalgia about “family dance parties” ring when you know what he really did? With sharp banter and biting analysis, this segment reveals the psychological gymnastics of a killer desperate to rewrite his own history. It's unsettling, absurd, and a darkly fascinating glimpse into how Chad Daybell sees himself — and how far he'll go to manipulate even from death row. #ChadDaybell #TammyDaybell #LoriVallow #DaybellTrial #CultCrimes #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeObsessed #PodcastClips #CourtCase #FamilyMurder Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Several acts, like Jimi Hendrix and Elvis, are cut short to make room for the It's a Wonderful Life parody.

Can we actually separate the art from the artist? Well, if you're willing to contort yourself around some pretty terrible behavior, the art you are separating from the artists involved better be worth it. Only the best of the best can get away with being the worst of the worst and have us still wanting to enjoy their art. From bleak to dark, this list and the stories involved might make the squeamish squeam - fair warning! Who else to help us navigate these treacherous waters than our old dear friends from Milwaukee, Chris Van Gompel, DJ Hostettler and Dixie Jacobs.

Phil "Wildcard" Andrade: Spitting Truth After Rock Bottom | The Hopeaholics Podcast #264Phil Andrade, known as Wildcard, for a raw and inspiring conversation about his journey from addiction to artistic triumph! A rapper and filmmaker with a 20-year career, Phil shares how his love for music was ignited by influences like Oingo Boingo, Black Sabbath, and Guns N' Roses, shaped by his creative upbringing and his grandfather's encouragement to write poetry and stories. From his turbulent teens, marked by anger, expulsion from school, and a national TV appearance as an alcoholic at 16, to his struggles with paranoia and addiction in the LA rap scene and Spokane, Washington, Phil's story is one of grit and redemption. He recounts haunting moments, like picking up the “Suicide King” card in a trap house, which became a symbol of his past life, and how sobriety has unlocked a new level of creativity, with monthly singles and music videos that inspire others to stay clean. Phil also opens up about the profound impact of his music, with fans crediting him for their own sobriety journeys, and his mission to honor loved ones lost to addiction, like Kim, whose name lives on in his work. Packed with humor, heart, and real talk about recovery, this episode explores the power of following your intuition, taking action on dreams, and creating your own reality.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this week's "Spicy Mode" episode of Grumpy Old Geeks proves that while things change, they mostly stay the same—just with more AI and less common sense. First up in FOLLOW UP, some poor schmoe automaker actually got a federal exemption for automated vehicles. Because what could possibly go wrong when we let robots drive?Then we dive headfirst into IN THE NEWS, a veritable dumpster fire of artificial intelligence. Illinois, bless their hearts, decided to ban AI therapists, probably because even they realized a chatbot won't fix your existential dread. But don't worry, older Americans are totally embracing these digital companions, like ElliQ, your friendly AI sidekick for "happier, healthier aging." Meanwhile, Perplexity is still allegedly scraping websites like it's 1999, and Apple's cooking up a "stripped-down" AI chatbot, probably because all their good AI talent bailed. Even Wells Fargo is deploying AI agents, so now your bank can deny you a loan with even less human empathy. And naturally, the US government is totally on board with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic—because handing over the keys to Skynet to federal agencies sounds like a super solid plan. Oh, and of course, Grok now has a "spicy" NSFW mode, because what else would you expect? And just when you thought it couldn't get any dumber, Microsoft is "cautiously onboarding" Grok 4 after some minor Hitler concerns. Tesla, in a move that surprises absolutely no one, shut down Dojo, their AI training supercomputer. If you're still using ChatGPT for your deepest, darkest secrets, be warned: a single poisoned document could leak all your data. Even the Swedish Prime Minister is apparently relying on ChatGPT for decision-making. In other news that doesn't involve robots taking over, Amazon split up Wondery and laid off a bunch of folks, and Microsoft's Windows XP Crocs are an actual thing. Yes, really.For MEDIA CANDY, prepare for a dose of nostalgia and existential dread. We're talking Rogue One, Nate Bargatze's stand-up specials (because sometimes you just need to laugh), Portlandia, Craig Ferguson, and the OG AI movie, Colossus: The Forbin Project. Netflix keeps canceling everything we love, including Fubar, but hey, The Sandman Season 2 and Wednesday are still here. And just to prove that Hollywood is still stuck in the past, Universal Pictures is threatening to sue Big Tech for stealing their movies for AI. Over in APPS & DOODADS, Google's smart home ecosystem is apparently crumbling, because who needs a cohesive system when you can have a dozen disconnected devices? But hey, OpenAI released a free GPT model you can run on your laptop, so now you can build your own personal AI overlord right at home. And finally, THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE brings us Gravity Falls books and a new Star Wars movie with Matt Smith and Ryan Gosling. Oh, and Weird Science is on Netflix, because sometimes you just need to relive the 80s and pretend AI hasn't completely taken over. So grab your flannel, cue up some Oingo Boingo, and enjoy the show, you analog dinosaurs.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

This week on The Metro, Rev. Jeff Ivins celebrates 20 years of The Metro by doing double shots of the following artists: The Human League, Adam Ant, Living in a Box, Icehouse, Falco, Culture Club, Elvis Costello, Oingo Boingo, Modern English, Berlin, Echo & The Bunnymen, Kim Wilde, Naked Eyes, The Fixx, and finishing off with the Stray Cats.

“There was always a way that music could speak to me,” says Youth Lagoon's Trevor Powers. “I was really shy as a kid and I had a lot on my mind that I didn't know how to get out. And music felt like one of those cheat codes where I felt like what I could say through one song was a lifetime worth of what was in my brain that I couldn't say any other way.” I was instantly captivated by Youth Lagoon's music when I first heard it more than a decade ago: Trevor Powers' plaintive, childlike voice, the dreaminess and heady sonic textures of his music, the candor in his storytelling. In the years since the Boise, Idaho artist's 2011 debut album, he has continually deepened his ability to make music that soothes and haunts at the same time. His latest album, Rarely Do I Dream, is his best yet, and one of my favorite LPs of 2025 so far. In the conversation in episode 121, Trevor talks about how discovering a trove of old home movies helped inspire the new album, and remind him of the importance of finding the true feeling at the center of a memory. He also discusses growing up hearing artists like Elvis and The Beach Boys and John Denver while being homeschooled, before finally being exposed to bands like Korn and the Offspring and Blink-182 when he eventually attended high school, and later discovering artists like My Bloody Valentine and Oingo Boingo thanks to his uncle introducing him to more cutting edge music. “There's always something that's coming in that's changing not only my thought process, but there's something internally that's awakening my spirit in these new ways and pushing me in all these different directions,” he says. “There could be an endless amount of lifetimes and I can't get it all out, what's up here.”Trevor also shares why he decided to "kill off" the Youth Lagoon Project several years ago, and to instead record under his own name for awhile, and why he chose to resurrect the moniker back in 2022. Youth Lagoon is on tour in the U.S. until mid-May. Get more info here.

This week on The Metro, Rev. Jeff Ivins brings you these artists for your weekly time warp: Pretenders, Sugarcubes, Rod Stewart, Echo And The Bunnymen, Blasters, Plimsouls, Paul Young, ArcAdiA, Fleshtones, Go West, Oingo Boingo, Rank And File, Ministry, Lene Lovich, and finishing off with Haircut One Hundred.

That's right, we've got The Dude hisself: Jeff Bridges. This week on Transmissions, he joins us to discuss his new archival record, Slow Magic, 1977-1978. Listening to the record sounds like eavesdropping on the coolest Hollywood party you've never been invited to: Bridges and co. sound like they are blowing off steam more than making a proper record, their wild music sound, as Bridges' frequent musical collaborator Keefus Ciancia put it, “like The Band playing at CBGB With The Exploding Plastic Inevitable.” There are members of Oingo Boingo on hand, and Burgess Meredith delivering some bewildering and beautiful spoken word. Sourced from an old cassette tape, it was released on Record Store Day by our friends at Light in the Attic, featuring a great set of liner notes by the fantastic writer Sam Sweet, and it's a blast.  Film, music, art, Buddhism—in this conversation, we cover it all and get into some fascinating countercultural tangents, touching on Buckminster Fuller, John Lilly, Ram Dass, Captain Beefheart, and more. It's a fascinating talk and Slow Magic is a tremendous listen, so press play and abide.

We all have vivid memories of our first rock concerts. You know the ones - when you're young, full of anticipation with no knowledge or understanding of the assault on your senses that a great rock show brings. These are the moments we capture on First Concert Memories and for episode 21, we have none other than Brian Slagel. Yes metalheads, THE Brian Slagel who founded Metal Blade Records more than 40 years ago. The first man to put a Metallica song on a commercially available tape. That's how we know Brian. But on this episode, he's taking us back to when he was a 16 year old KISS fan, hoping to get to see his heroes live for the first time. Thankfully, his neighbor Carl Graves (a performer and musician in his own right who would tour with Oingo Boingo in the 80s & 90s) told Brian's mother that he'd take him to the show and make sure he got home safe. So Brian saw his first ever concert - KISS on the Alive! Tour on February 24, 1976. A teenage Brian was blown away by the pyro, the fire and blood spitting demon, the loudness of the Marshall stacks and the spectacle that a KISS concert in 1976 offered. Brian also tells us about getting to know the original members of KISS on a personal basis, which band he's seen over 300x and his killer new podcast - The 100 Songs That Define Heavy Metal.

It was a different time but not THAT different when Richard Elfman decided to bring the wild things he saw on stage with his equally terrifying brother, Danny Elfman's band, The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo and marry their showmanship with the racist cartoons of the past to create the Forbidden Zone! The story of the family Hercules (Ugh-Fudge Banana, Phil Gordon, Hyman Diamond and Virginia Rose, the only one with a SAG card) and their daughter Frenchie (Marie-Pascale Elfman) who live in a house that happens to have a doorway into the 6th dimension. When neighborhood friend, Squeez-It's sister, Renee (Matthew Bright) disappears into the portal, Frenchie decides to check it out for herself. She goes down down down and meets Queen Doris (Susan Tyrell) and her King Fausto who lock her up for different reasons, the King wants a sex slave and the Queen wants to torture her with the help of daughter, The Princess (Gisele Lindley). When her family comes looking for her, they find a world beyond comprehension where you always expect to see a skid mark and the boys are always humpin' - Forbidden Zone, this week on Doom Generation.
