Ready to get spooky? We're back for the fourth episode of our spooky szn series! Horror aficionado and overall movie buff Tony Southcotte joins us to break down the creepy classic, Hellraiser -- from the folklore that inspired the Cenobites to the visual effects that still hook us in today (pun intended). Let's see how it holds up.Follow Tony @tsouthcotteTwitter: twitter.com/tsouthcotteInstagram: instagram.com/tsouthcotteCheck out Tony's pop culture YouTube channel:Human Echos: youtube.com/humanechoesCheck out Tony's woodworking content @tonysgoodwoodInstagram: instagram.com/tonysgoodwoodTwitter: twitter.com/tonysgoodwoodYouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCUycKEmnrsHhG0nBKJjhe9wFollow the podcast @didthatagewellIG: instagram.com/didthatagewellTwitter: twitter.com/didthatagewellFollow Molly @mollybirdsmithIG: instagram.com/mollybirdsmithTwitter: twitter.com/mollybirdsmithGive us 5 stars, write a lil' review, and let us know what you think!

Yes, it’s me. Marc Hershon. Your host and 100 percent safflower oil for Epi151 of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. We’re back with a Succotash Clips installment, featuring a bumper crop of comedy soundcast clips from around the internet. On tap this week we’ll be featuring The Bernie Sanders Show, Casa Mirth, Center City Comedy, The Chillpak Hollywood Hour, Crash On Your Couch, Guys We F****d, Human Echoes Podcast, and Teen Creeps. In addition, we have a lovely little shoutout from the boys over at The Anti Social Show, Tyson Saner and Hunter Block. As many of you know, Tyson is also THIS show’s Associate Producer – in fact, he harvested almost all the clips for this episode – so having him sing our praises is a little like the lavish praise that gets passed around the White House these days from Trump to Trump. But I’ll take it! We also have a couple of Bursts O’ Durst from our resident political comedian Will Durst. We also have a political song later this episode performed by Not The Presidents of The USA, courtesy of Tommy Royal, late of The Royal and Doodall Show. Plus this episode is being brought to you by Henderson Pants’ new Scavenger Slax! A LITTLE HELP? We are now six years into this mess I call Succotash and it’s incredible how many soundcasts have not only come and gone but how many shows there are currently clogging the soundwaves. My god. If we put out three shows a week I don’t think we could keep up with all of the content being generated these days. But we’ll keep on it, playing clips from shows both new and old, to give you a taste of what’s out there. And I thank you for downloading or streaming us, however you like listening, and whatever other support you can lend is also greatly appreciated. Money can be tight, but it doesn’t cost anything but a few minutes of your time to get up to iTunes to rate and review this show. Five stars helps out immensely in the scheme of what shows get noticed on that service. We’re also on Stitcher so you can thumbs up us there, or give us a big ol’ heart on SoundCloud… you get the idea. If you’ve GOT some money to spare, even a little bit, we’d love your help in offsetting the costs of producing this show. There’s hosting fees, publicity costs, and gas for Studio F. We have a Donate button up on our homesite, http://SuccotashShow.com, which is the most direct way to get us some bucks. But you can also click on the Amazon banner at the top our page next time you do your online shopping and they’ll shave off a tiny bit of whatever you pay them and they’ll send it over to us in a drone. Or just buy a damn coffee mug off from our Succotashery with the show logo on it and we get a little bit from that, too. THE SHOWS Chillpak Hollywood HourYour friends in soundcasting, Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness, the hosts and podcast royalty over at The Chillpak Hollywood Hour, are celebrating 10 damn years in this odd business. In their recent show #520 – five hundred and twenty! – they not only mentioned me… 2) Marc Hershon mention …but they also each reflected back on each of their favorite ten moments during their decade of doing the show. (Also, I just reviewed this particular episode in the This Week in Comedy Podcasts column for Splitsider.com.) The Anti Social ShowA couple of episodes ago we featured a clip from The Anti Social Show, which is hosted by our own Tyson Saner along with Hunter Block. They mentioned Succotash in the wake of that playage and, heck, anytime a show mentions us as thanks for clipping them, that’s a good enough reason to clip them mentioning us, right? The Bernie Sanders ShowSoundcasting used to be the place where just comedians went to vent their spleens, sharpen their wits, and own their thoughts without worrying about bookings, hecklers, and other slings and arrows. But now everyone’s getting into the game, including presidential also-rans. The Bernie Sanders Show has joined the fray and it’s a great platform for Bernie to be…Bernie. One of his first episodes featured him talking with guest Bill Nye, as in Bill Nye, The Science Guy. Teen CreepsTyson grabbed us a chunk of Teen Creeps, a soundcast by comedians Kelly Nugent and Linsay Katai. Their focus is Young Adult fiction and in recent epi24, from back in February, they had comedy writer/performer/TV director and soundcaster Alex Fernie as their guest to help them get into The Hardy Boys. Crash On My CouchArden Rose and Will Darbyshire are a couple of YouTube darlings and 20-somethings with Crash On My Couch, a soundcast about conspiracy theories, other cultures, relationships, happiness — a virtual potpourri about slogging though life as a Millennial. For instance, could you have gotten through the next 24 hours without hearing about Pixar Easter eggs? Or the conspiracy theory that all Pixar movies exist within the same Universe? Me neither. Casa MirthSo you’re a comedy soundcaster and you’re saying to yourself, “Hey self! How the heck do I get a clip of my show up on that Succotash thingamabob?” Well, you can do what our friends Dr. Norman Trousers and River Zambezi did and use our direct upload link. They got us an MP3 clip by going to http://hightail.com/u/Succotash and got it right to us, along with this note: “Hey Marc! Thought it was about time we sent in a clip... Just a bit from season 4 episode 1 where River Zambezi and I were discussing the possibility of having a bit of a laugh at a local electrical retailers... all the best :)" Guys We F****dIt’s hard enough to break through the glut of shows in Soundcastland, more today than ever, so one of these days I have to have Corinne Fisher and Kystyna Hutchinson on the show just so I can ask them why they titled their anti-slut shaming show Guys We Fucked. I mean the title makes sense and all BUT most places that distribute show – like iTunes – won’t let you spell out the word f****d. So while the title is attention-getting, even with the asterisks, it makes it hard to get the word out everywhere. But Corinne and Krystyna have a lot of listeners so maybe it’s working out just fine. This clip is from an episode from the end of March entitled, You Were The Queen of Impossible Crushes, and the ladies answer some listener email. Center City ComedyI’ve been hanging around the San Francisco and Los Angeles comedy scenes for, well, a long time now. I don’t get to the clubs very much these days so there’s a whole wave of comedians out there I don’t really know but one thing I do remember is that there is rarely a better time to be had than when you’re hanging out with a bunch of comics, shooting the shit and busting each other’s balls OR ovaries. Some of that spirit is captured every week on the Center City Comedy soundcast, where a passel of Philly comedy comrades — Derek Gaines, H. Foley, Kevin Ryan, Andrew Schiavone, Chris Cotton, and Dave Temple — who are now part of the New York scene, get together and kick stuff, and each other, around. This snippet that Tyson grabbed us is from their Epi166, with the memorable title “The Fatso, The Drunk, and The Wardrobe”. Human EchoesI know I keep yammering about how many soundcasts are out there with more coming online every week, but I’m amazed we’re still finding shows that have been on for years that we’re just now getting to share. Case in point: the Human Echoes soundcast with Tony Southcotte and Alan Berg. The have more than 200 episodes under their belts, where they toss around commentary on movies, genre fiction and, as they put it, “all things weird and wonderful”. In this chunk, it’s revealed that Tony has finally gotten around to seeing Jaws for the first time. (We also learn that Alan has never seen The Godfather.) So now they finally get a chance to talk about that shark movie. TRUMP Here are the lyrics to Trump, as performed by Not The Presidents Of The USA: Trump sat alone on his flabby arse Knowing his appointment to the Whitehouse was a farce With policies that would sound bananas He filled his cabinet with all his pet piranhas He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump He's off his head He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump In Putin's bed Trumps orange head ain't blessed with brains And his policies all come across as quite insane He'll stem the terror across the land By keeping guns and making sure that all the muslims are banned He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump His hands are small He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump He'll build the wall Trump'll take the healthcare you needed so much He'll look you in the eye then grab you buy the crotch He dreams of pissing on Russian sheets Then getting drunk and filling twitter with moronic tweets He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump He never thinks He's Trump, He's Trump, He's Trump He'd bomb the chinks Is this Trump out of his head We think so Is this Trump out of his head We think so Is this Trump out of his head We think so Is this Trump out of his head That’s going to do it for epi151. Thanks for listening and supporting comedy podcasts everywhere, and don't forget to pass the Succotash! Goodbye.
On the latest Secrets of the Sire #Podcast: The moment of truth is here for DC's much hyped bad-guy superhero flick Suicide Squad. But with the reviews in from critics, it's sounding more Batman V Superman than Deadpool. We discuss that and more with Human Echoes Podcast's own Tony Southcotte! Check out an excerpt from [...]

Zombies Have No Respect for Plumbing by Tony Southcotte Zombies have no respect for plumbing. They don’t teach you that when you fill out the paperwork for your apprentice license. Since the plague slowed down, people didn’t see the need to finish off their family members. You just pay a wrangler to tie them up, slap a rubber ball in the mouth, and send them home. They may want to tussle with you every once in a while, but for the most part they just sit there. People hold on to some hope for a cure, but I know better. Christ could raise Lazarus, but Lord knows he wouldn’t try to bring a pork chop back to life. I used to just pull hair out of drains. Use a snake or some other such tool to drag natted balls of bath grime and shaving leave-ins out of bathtubs. This brings me to my current predicament. Standing in the shower of some blue haired granny who just couldn’t say goodbye to her oaf of a husband. I saw him walkin’ in, that festering pile of meat. The red ball in his mouth would have made him look like a pig on a spit, that is, if he still had any natural color left in him. She called to tell me her drain was backing up; that a horrible smell and rusty colored substance was coming through. I figured it was a sewage back up. Not my favorite call, but you can gouge these people and they have to pay Unfortunately for me, it wasn’t sewage. When I start pullin’ the snake back, the white chunks start dropping off the cable, little flaps of raw skin. At this stage, it starts to fall off like a bad sunburn, only meatier. The smell hits me and I want to double over. At least if the worst happens I am in a bathroom and can easily find the can. “Ma’am, do you know anything about this?” I ask, pointing at the muck, retching under the stench. I’m pretty sure more than a couple teeth are in the mess now. “Oh dear. Why don’t you plumbers make these drains good enough?” “Well, we don’t expect you to push the cherished remains of your dead husband down the drain.” “But he needs his shower, his hygiene was never in order, even before his accident. I just pushed it down with my toes.” Now, I normally don’t take kindly to this sort of viscera, or the type of person who puts up with it, but something struck me in that moment. Its brilliance was so simple, but the idea that would revolutionize the in home zombie phenomenon and plumbing as we know it. “Miss, would you like me to install a garbage disposal in here?” “Can you do that?” Yes. Yes I can.
The Human Echoes Podcast celebrates the new year by forcing musical-hating Tony Southcotte to watch the nerdgasmtastic internet phenomenon Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Will its musical stylings melt his crusty heart of stone? No. No they wont. But you should listen anyway as we discuss art history, and answer absurd questions from YOU. Download it in all its awesomeness here. Or quench your need for feed with the RSS. Links to Stuff We Might Have Talked About: Zdzislaw Beksinski Giuseppe Arcimboldo Kevin Eslinger Jacek Yerka Doctor Who on Netflix Epic Rap Battles of History Danny Brophy: Twitter and Podcast (Warning: may contain nut) House of Leaves Next week we'll be looking at the newly released movie/adaption John Dies at the End.

It is a little known fact that most serial killers can be found at community colleges taking courses in Photoshop. This week Al Berg and Tony Southcotte breakdown Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. In keeping with our strict policy of tangents, we also find ourselves fixated on the creations of Joss Whedon, with both The Avengers and Cabin in the Woods. We also talk about what might be the best pure zombie book out there: World War Z by Max Brooks. Next week we will be reviewing YellowBrickRoad, which is available on netflix and on a VHS tapes in your creepy neighbor's outhouse. It really might be easier to stream it.
