Podcast appearances and mentions of Tim Curry

This week we're cracking open Congo (1995), the jungle romp where killer gorillas guard diamonds and a gorilla named Amy talks with a Nintendo Power Glove. Laura Linney's armed, Dylan Walsh brought juice boxes for a primate, and Ernie Hudson is the only one who knows what movie he's in. It's corporate espionage meets theme park ride—and we're digging through the chaos to see why this '90s relic is still echoing through our brains like “Ugly gorilla!

[Verse 1] We took a trip to Congo, thought it'd be a breeze Diamonds in a lost city, easy cash and a jungle tease But then a scream through the satellite feed For Bruce Campbell a quick cameo Killed by the vicious pale ape – oh no! [Verse 2] Amy's a talking gorilla in the mist Joe Don Baker's really pissed Tim Curry sounds like he's from Moscow Winston Zeddemore is British now There are hidden dangers they've all missed. [Chorus] I can't say… I can't say… I can't say… where I'm-a-gonna stay When the gray apes slay [Verse 3] From plane crash landings to high-tech guns To diamond-fueled vapor beams hotter than the sun Jimmy Buffett flew the jet, Peter's eyes are getting wet Amy met a hunky silverback and to the jungle they will run. [Bridge] “Where's Homolka?” “Getting chewed.” “Is that a diamond?” “Not anymore, dude.” “Volcano's bubbling!” “I smell cooked ape!” “Let's go, let's go—before we all get vaped!” [Chorus] I can't say… I can't say… I can't say… where I'm-a-gonna stay When the gray apes slay The ground quakes, the lava flows, (doo-doo-doo-doo-doot!) Yeah, the volcano's gonna blow! It's CONGO!

Send us a textChristian, the lead singer and bassist for The Ritualists, stops by the show to discuss bass playing, the new album Too Pure to Cure, cooking, history, and more.*****NYC-based The Ritualists' upcoming album, Too Pure To Cure (out now) is a trip. Produced and mixed by GRAMMY-winner Mario J McNulty (David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Prince), the album is packed with the band's signature mix of goth, glam, and modern rock, all wrapped up in their larger-than-life energy.Following their darkly danceable single "You Know Better", the band has recently released "The Wake" —a soaring, synth-heavy anthem inspired by classic ‘80s dark fantasy films (The NeverEnding Story, anyone?) and the shimmering hooks of the New Romantic era. Frontman Christian Dryden describes it as a reflection on childhood, resilience, and the ability to pull oneself out of tough situations. And it's already earned praise from The NeverEnding Story theme song's own (and fellow Reybee client) Limahl, who says:"I really like this—a little surreal, very melodic and with a video that has a classic early '80s vibe. The chorus asks, ‘Whoever wakes up?' — well, I just did, to The Ritualists!" Tracks on the album range from "King of Air," a surrealist reflection on feeling misunderstood, to "Every Thread," which juxtaposes cosmic insignificance with the universal pangs of love and envy. And of course, there's the title track, "Too Pure to Cure," which lead vocalist/songwriter Christian Dryden describes as less of a protest and more of a shoulder shrug—it's a declaration of knowing who you are and refusing to be “cured” of it. The Ritualists are Christian Dryden (vocals, bass), Jeffrey Andrew (keyboards), David Andreana (guitars), and Eric Kuby (drums). Too Pure To Cure is available on all streaming platforms today. *****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Tonight on the show, we're diving into a trio of cult-favorite musicals that blur the lines between horror, comedy, camp, and tragedy: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975, starring Tim Curry), Little Shop of Horrors (1986, starring Rick Moranis), and the 2001 filmed stage production of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical, featuring David Hasselhoff in a career-defining dual performance.At first glance, these might seem like wildly different productions—ranging from glam-rock alien chaos to doo-wop-infused plant horror, to a dark, gothic tale of split identity—but together they tell a broader story about how musical theater has embraced monstrosity as metaphor. Each of these works asks: What happens when the line between man and monster blurs? What desires are we really afraid of? And can we sing our way through the madness?Tim Curry's Frank-N-Furter is a force of nature—part scientist, part seducer, part destroyer. Rocky Horror was a revolution in form and content, upending gender norms, mocking genre tropes, and creating an interactive cult ritual that has endured for nearly 50 years. It's a cultural milestone not just because of what it is, but because of what it unleashed—a safe space for the weird, the queer, and the outsider.Rick Moranis' Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors gives us a very different kind of mad scientist: a nebbish pushover corrupted by power, ambition, and a bloodthirsty plant. The film (based on the Howard Ashman and Alan Menken stage musical) blends 1960s Motown stylings with Faustian tragedy, capturing the dark side of the American dream—and warning us what happens when we feed the things that promise us love and success.And then there's Jekyll and Hyde, the most classical of the three, but perhaps the most psychologically intense. Hasselhoff's performance—often memed, but undeniably committed—gives us a musical take on Robert Louis Stevenson's timeless story of duality. It's a sweeping, gothic powerhouse of repression, temptation, and the dangers of scientific hubris—a thematic cousin to both Frank-N-Furter and Seymour in ambition and eventual ruin.Reviewing these three together allows us to trace how musicals have uniquely adapted horror and moral ambiguity to the stage and screen. From parody to tragedy to grand melodrama, these stories use music to heighten emotion, build absurdity, and expose the deep fears and fantasies lurking behind every monstrous transformation.So grab your fishnets, your gardening shears, or your top hat and cane—we're about to explore the darker, stranger side of musical theater, where the monsters are often the ones singing the loudest.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

This week in the Video Dungeon, we're heading to the Great Tree to track some Unicorns! Come take a deep dive into the mystical world of Ridley Scott's Legend – but not just any version – we're talking about the Director's Cut. With a darker tone, restored scenes, and a haunting score by Jerry Goldsmith, this cut brings new life to the cult classic starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and the unforgettable Tim Curry as Darkness. In this full movie review and analysis, we break down how this version transforms the story, characters, visuals, and score into a true fantasy epic. Tony from ‪Hack The Movies‬ joins our fellowship to restore the balance of light and dark! Is the director's cut of Legend the best version of Ridley Scott's cult classic?

In this week's Mostly Film, we're pitting two Hollywood heavyweights against each other in a cinematic showdown: Tom Cruise in Legend (1985) vs. Leonardo DiCaprio in Body of Lies (2008).First up, we go deep into The Casting of Legend—a pre-Top Gun Cruise donning long locks and fairy-tale armor in Ridley Scott's surreal fantasy epic. We'll talk about how he nearly passed on the role, the version of the film he actually preferred, and how Legend gave us a rare look at Cruise in the fantasy genre—though Tim Curry's devilish performance may have stolen the spotlight.Then we shift gears into the gritty world of Body of Lies, where DiCaprio goes full-on CIA in Ridley Scott's modern spy thriller. From gaining 25 pounds to demanding on-location shooting in Morocco, Leo's dedication was real—and so was the intensity. We'll cover how this film fits into his “gritty realism” era and why his performance is considered one of his most underrated.Plus, we're breaking down The Performances, The Direction, and The Critical Reception—how both actors were shaped (or overshadowed) by their directors, the worlds they stepped into, and the legacies these films left behind.Is Cruise's ethereal Jack a forgotten fantasy prince? Does DiCaprio's Roger Ferris deserve more love in the spy thriller pantheon? You decide.It's fairytale forests vs. Middle Eastern war zones. Light vs. Lies. Cruise vs. DiCaprio.

Fantasy February is once again upon us and, this year we thought it would be fun to take a look at pulp heroes in a sort of urban-fantasy setting. So, to kick things off, we take a look at 1994's The Shadow. Starring Alec Baldwin, John Lone, Tim Curry, Ian McKellan, Johnathan Winters and Penelope Ann Miller the film, set in 1930s New York City, finds The Shadow (Alec Baldwin) as he battles his nemesis, Shiwan Khan (John Lone), who is building an atomic bomb. Listen in and find out what we thought!
