For another freestyle, Paul and Arlo are getting weird. As in “Weird Al” Yankovic, whom Arlo recently saw with their good buddy Kenn Edwards. Arlo recounts the concert moment he'd been waiting for all his life, then Paul discusses the joys and frustrations of the first-ever virtual Slayage conference.

You may have heard of them before: those pale creatures with suspiciously sharp canines that sleep in coffins during the day, hunt people at night, and occasionally transform into bats. Stories of bloodsucking monsters have haunted humanity for hundreds, even thousands of years—but the modern vampire was arguably born when Enlightenment rationality met Eastern European folklore. That's Nick Groom's argument: he's known as the Prof of Goth, and he makes the case that vampires rose from the grave at the same time that philosophy, theology, forensic medicine, and literature were beginning to question what it meant to be human. Why have vampires lingered in the imagination for hundreds of years? Nick Groom joins us on the podcast to open some coffins for answers.

School is back in session, but Buffy is still out of it. That doesn't stop Willow, though, who wastes no time … pimping Buffy out to mild-mannered, eminently forgettable Scott Hope. Maybe Buffy can learn some tricks from the new Slayer in town, for Faith has rocked into Sunnydale to meet the famous “Buff” and get hungry and horny after some Slayage. Unfortunately, a business-savvy vampire and his ancient employer are on her tail, and even two Slayers not be enough.   Hear us discuss… How much fun a teenage-focused opening is! Faith's dynamic with Buffy is so different from Kendra's Mr. Trick makes a great first impression Stephanie really wants more excuses to use the word “kakistos” Giles. GILES. You magnificent, clever, loving bastard  

In this snappy episode, Ernest tells y'all why he's not here for Judge Joe Brown, Wendy Williams, people coming for Sha'Carri Richardson, and more. 

It's our longest episode yet; and once you take a listen you'll understand why. We had such a blast talking "Prophecy Girl" with our super special guest, Jacque, that we didn't want to cut any of it.

Dr. Jeffrey R. Wilson, author of Shakespeare and Trump, now has a much more fun book to talk about, Shakespeare and Game of Thrones! Joining us in the discussion are Dr. Kavita Mudan Finn, a professor and scholar of medieval and early modern literature, and Senior Editor at The Public Medievalist; and Dr. Shiloh Carroll, whose book Medievalism in A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones was published by Boydell & Brewer in 2018, and who's also the associate editor of Slayage, the journal of the Whedon Studies Association. Featuring tips on engaging with Shakespeare the same way we engage with more pop culturey things like Game of Thrones; mutual inspiration from the Wars of the Roses; some helpful publishing tips; playing “Marry/F/Kill: The Shakespeare Edition”; thinking of fan-fiction as “transformative fiction;” thoughts on proposed casting for the Games of Thrones sequels; full-circle influences; proposals for future long-form interpretations of Shakespeare’s plays; and which fans we’re most afraid of: Shakespeare’s or George R.R. Martin’s. (Length 21:27) The post Shakes Of Thrones appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

“I know the world feels like a hard place sometimes, but you’ve got people who love you.”   We live in interesting times, my friends. So returning guest Elizabeth Rambo and I first talk about how we’re both surviving the latest apocalypse, before diving into the uplifting palate cleanser that is Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Six. To lighten the mood we discuss the divisive and possibly controversial(?) episodes 617, “Normal Again” and 618, “Entropy.” In the former, there’s discussion of Didgeridoo Demons,  metacommentary, and how literally to interpret the “Asylumverse.” And in the latter, scary, re-Vengeance Demonized Anya provides some much-needed humor; my Buffy-rage returns with a, well, a vengeance; and gyres widen.   Next: Elizabeth is back for more good fun times as we take on episodes 619, “Seeing Red” [Note: I am NOT looking forward to this one] and 620, “Villains.”     THE BREAKDOWN Run Time: 01:32:05 00:00:55  -  Intro / Guest 00:09:20  -  Main Topic 01:28:20  -  Outro / Next     THE LIBRARY Buffy Goes Dark: Essays on the Final Two Seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Television, edited by Lynne Y.

Thank you to our Co-producer patron Kevin Wetter for selecting this week's topic! This 2009 TV show, helmed by Joss Whedon, was meant to be a thematic exploration of identity and sexuality but many have argued about its problematic story. Was that because of corporate interference or Whedon's own issues with feminist representation? Interested in the media we discussed this episode?

This week's episode we discuss politics, the future of fashion, and upcoming artist!

No good deed goes unpunished, and so Michael Holland pays for being such a great guest last week, where we got to discuss one (maybe two?) of the best episodes in the entire series. His penance? He’s back with me again, which is perhaps punishment enough, but in fact he’s here to talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes 508, “Shadow” and 509, “Listening to Fear.” In the former he’s forced to endure the worst CGI snake demon the show ever conjures up, and in the latter he struggles to survive the show’s embarrassing X-Files envy.   (That’ll teach him to be so smart and fun, huh?)   Next: PhD student, Slayage contributor, and fellow Spuffy fanatic Jessica Hautsch returns to discuss episodes 510, “Into the Woods” and 511, “Triangle.”   THE BREAKDOWN Run Time: 01:25:50 00:00:55 - Intro / Guest 00:04:00 - Main Topic 01:18:15 - Outro / Next   THE LIBRARY Library Closed For Filing - Please Come Back Tomorrow   THE LINKS Michael’s Blog - Holland Imaginarium   THE MUSIC “Conversations (feat.

PhD student, Slayage contributor, and shadowy, mysterious Spuffy fanfic author Jessica Hautsch makes her Conversations with Dead People debut! Together we find the titular troublemakers in 407, “The Initiative” to be non-mixy things, possibly even a little bit world-breaky? In 408, “Pangs,” as is usually the case with Thanksgiving gatherings there are things we really love and things we really don’t. And finally, Spike pops the question to Buffy and is welcomed into the family with open arms in 409, “Something Blue.”   What is up with the creepy TA/student power dynamics? Did the show just blatantly foreshadow an important character development in Angel Season Five? And what is even holding Sunnydale up at this point?   Enjoy your ritual sacrifice with pie, everybody!   Next: my good, loud, punk rock friend Kenn Edwards unplugs and joins me to discuss episode 410, “Hush.” The entire conversation will take place via dry erase boards, which ought to make for a pretty interesting podcast.   THE CROSSOVER Angel 107, “The Bachelor Party” and 108, “I Will Remember You”   THE BREAKDOWN Intro / Guest (00:00:00 - 00:00:08:38) Main Topic (00:08:38 - 01:49:30) Outro / Next (01:49:30 - 01:54:40)   THE LIBRARY Library Closed For Filing - Please Come Back Tomorrow   THE MUSIC “Conversations (feat.

Melanie Scala is back and we’re gettin’ all Clan of the Cave Beer in the cemetery this week. It’s a big overture, little show in 404, “Fear, Itself.” Nothing can defeat the penis in 405, “Beer Bad.” And 406, “Wild at Heart” should be considered an emotional hate crime. Somehow neither one of us were drunk during this recording.   Also, hashtag Beeranderthals!   Next: I’m joined by Slayage contributor and Spuffy fanfic author Jessica Hautsch to discuss 407, “The Initiative,” 408, “Pangs,” and 409, “Something Blue.” Things are about to get weird.   THE BREAKDOWN Intro / Guest (00:00:00 - 00:07:50) Main Topic (00:07:50 - 01:49:15) Outro / Next (01:49:15 - 01:55:45)   THE LIBRARY Library Closed For Filing - Please Come Back Tomorrow   THE MUSIC “Conversations (feat.

You may have heard of them before: those pale creatures with suspiciously sharp canines that sleep in coffins during the day, hunt people at night, and occasionally transform into bats. Stories of bloodsucking monsters have haunted humanity for hundreds, even thousands of years—but the modern vampire was arguably born when Enlightenment rationality met Eastern European folklore. That’s Nick Groom’s argument: he’s known as the Prof of Goth, and he makes the case that vampires rose from the grave at the same time that philosophy, theology, forensic medicine, and literature were beginning to question what it meant to be human.

Class is back in session and this time we are going to try to talk smart about a dumb movie!  Truth or Dare made a whole bunch of money, but it wasn't exactly a deep film.  It did use a very interesting motif in horror called "the liminal space" and today we are going to discuss how that space works and why it made Truth or Dare an engaging movie. Show Notes: 2:20- Tyler just watched the new Blumhouse movie Unfriended: Dark Web, head on over to Signal Horizon and read his review. 3:00- If you haven't heard of author Robert Aickman he comes very highly recommended.  Tyler really liked his short story: Mark Ingestre: The Customer's Tale.  It has been reprinted quite a bit, most recently in The Late Breakfaster's and Other Strange Stories by Robert Aickman. 3:50- Mike really likes a Brian Evenson story you can find in Aickman's Hiers.   4:10- Mike is reading a new collection that is on Kindle Unlimited called Lost Highways, but it had to take a back burner when get got Vastarien Issue #2 in the mail.  He is always excited to talk about Ligotti and Vastarien, so check out why he thinks the Vastarien Literary Journal is the most exciting thing in horror literature right now. 5:30-  Orrin Grey is an author that both Mike and Tyler really like right now, you can check out the short story "The Granfalloon" in The Best Horror of the Year Volume 10. 6:45-  Dark Corners of the Web: Some free short fiction that goes along with Truth or Dare is the excellent episode of PseudoPod that just came out, The Fainting Game by Nino Cipri. 13:15  Jeff Wadlow was also involved in Kickass 2 and The Strain.  How did he get mixed up in Truth or Dare?  Most likely money. 17:45- The Canadian Journal of Career Development has a great article about liminal spaces entitled Constructing the Future in the Liminal Spaces Between Adolescence and Adulthood: Responsibilities, Careers, and Social Contexts by Amanda Benjamin, José Domene, and Kim Landine.   26:30- Tyler drops his "unified theory of Truth or Dare" at this point.  It is super interesting and believe it or not he did come up with it off the cuff. 35:15-  Yes, there is a periodical named Slayage that is put out by the Whedon Studies Association.  Michael Starr's excellent article about liminality and The Cabin in the Woods can be found here to prove it. 38:00-  Tyler references the Stephen King short story, "The Jaunt" which is easily one of King's greatest short works.  It was written all the way back in 1981 and it is still fresh today, you can find it in his collection Skeleton Crew which is probably on your bookshelf right now.  If it is not, buy a copy over on Amazon. 41:00-  Not going to link to anything by John Edward because he is a fraud.  Don't give him any of your money, but if you would like to support The Horror Pod Class and SignalHorizon.com that would be super cool and you can do it over on Patreon.   44:30-  Mike talks about Ligotti (of course) and Matt Cardin's excellent analysis of "The Shadow at the Bottom of the World."   55:15-  Wan't to give us a shout out?  Maybe a shout down?  You can connect with us over at the Horror Pod Class Facebook group!    

Paul and Arlo continue to swing through this year’s superheroic Four-Color Flashback to discuss Spider-Man: Origin of the Hobgoblin, joined by FreakSugar managing editor Jed Waters Keith. This early ‘80s story, primarily written by Roger Stern and drawn by John Romita Jr., finds Peter Parker faced with the emergence of a horrific new villain in the grotesque figure of the Hobgoblin. Who is this masked man? Who knows! In true Parker fashion, Spidey tries to unmask Hobby while snapping pix for the Bugle and juggling his crazy love life. The gang discusses the convoluted behind-the-scenes drama surrounding the Hobgoblin’s identity, the evolution of JRJr, how Peter Parker is kind of a huge ladies’ man for being such a dork, and more. Plus, Paul attended this year’s Slayage conference, while Arlo and Jed are reading a whole mess o’ comics.   Next: Jurassic World 2: Even Assic-er.   THE BREAKDOWN 00:00:00 - 00:42:55  - Intro / Banter 00:42:55 - 02:12:27  - Main Topic 02:12:27 - 02:15:35  - Outro / Next Week

Switching it up a bit this week! After (almost) 20 years of listening to power, this week Sounds Curious returns to the source of one producer’s love of televisual media –the series that sparked a lifetime of research: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This special episode is a through-composed audio essay capturing but a few of the manifold ways in which power is demonstrated, negotiated or perpetuated through sound and silence in the series. From thematic music and underscoring, foley and sound design, the audio in the series is a rich palette – even before we add voices. As for voices, we get out of the way and “let her speak for herself” as we celebrate the power to interrupt, disrupt, invert and subvert power, not unlike apocalypses, through the layers of narrative, sound and music. Inspired by several published video essays on the series, we strip away the visual layer and revel unabashedly in the multilayered audio worlds present, recomposed and often juxtaposed as meditation on the myriad ways power is expressed through diegetic and non-diegetic sound. But mostly, it’s a love letter to the sonic dimensions of a series that posed a million questions about media and culture we may spend a lifetime answering. Links to all the episodes and performances featured in this essay, along with further watching, listening and reading based on the essay themes over at the show notes at bansheemedia.com

Deidre, Chrystal and special guest Brent discuss the Emmy Awards, the dragging of a soap star and a piece of a uh, politics.

Just taking a guess here, but you probably don't want to go to Hell. Probably don't want to rule it, either. And neither does Lucifer, the original fallen angel himself, which sets in motion the events of The Sandman: Vol IV - Season of Mists. Pop culture academics (and Wanna Cook? authors) K. Dale Koontz and Ensley F. Guffey join Paul and AJ for another installment of their Four-Color Flashback series exploring Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. The gang finds much to discuss, whether it be the assortment of mythological envoys sent to The Dreaming, Dream's reunion with one-time lover Nada, or even, uh, the Merkin. Plus, Dale and Ensley went to Slayage, which was the opposite of Hell. Though the squirrels might beg to differ. Next: we'll be chatting about independent film and local business with a representative of Akron, Ohio's brand new Nightlight Cinema.
