First and foremost, my deepest apologies for the delay! The holiday season has been tremendously busy for a multitude of reasons (work, family, medical, musical, magical, etc.) and this episode was recorded a few weeks ago, but I believe it was well worth the wait! This time, we have the pleasure of someone with much more experience than us knuckleheads taken out of their hosting seat and placed at the other end of the metaphorical table. The man, the myth, the Mikey, Michael Kent is a dude with the right affinity for the spooky and really adds a lot to the discussion of, but not limited to; Tetsuo: The Iron Man and Shinya Tsukamoto, Australian Hardcore, DIY Capitalism in the form of merch flipping, Japanese Vs. Western Cyberpunk, and gatekeeping nerd culture. Enjoy! Or Don't! Toxic Schlock Podcast Private Hell Ghouli

The 1980s was an era defined by fear of Satan and the Occult, with a prevailing sentiment that we were all surrounded by an evil cabal of devil worshippers. Regardless of the fact that this was fiction, it shaped culture for years to come. In 2009, Ti West released the film THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, where we see what it would like if these evil cults were real. In today's episode of Toxic Schlock we explore what led to the Satanic Panic, and how it shaped an era. We're then joined by Scott Hicks of NC punk band Totally Slow to discuss Ti West's film, and its approach to 1980s aesthetics, nostalgia, and cinema.   Join our Patreon!
