The Lost Boys Commentary

Episode 38

Tuesday, July 23, 2024 • Duration 01:23:25

Who wants to know? Michael wants to know

HI BILLY! What's the one movie that gets mentioned on this podcast more than any other? Long time listeners will hardly be surprised to hear that we've recorded a Lost Boys special. Join us as we luxuriate in the sexy vampire goodness, 80s style!

What's Kiefer Sutherland like in real life? Has Billy Wirth cast a spell over all women of a certain age? Who is the drummer in this band? Do DVDs still exist? Are there any other movies with vampires in? We'll attempt to answer all these questions, and along the way relate various stories of awkward celebrity interactions. And the usual digressions, obv.

The video we edited for Alan Frog, Jamison Newlander @jamisonnewlander is here

https://youtu.be/toU6YKRH5xQ?si=cCXAD6jy4STVU9bt

Follow The Lost Frogs Comics @the_lost_frogs_comics (and for gods sake please try and identify the mystery comic book cover).

Follow For The Love of Horror @ftlohorror and if you can make it to the event you stand a good chance of meeting Tim Capello

Kerrang Feb 1984 - Genesis, Thor and Manowar

Episode 37

Tuesday, June 25, 2024 • Duration 54:25

Bigamy at Christmas

We’re looking at the early 80s work of Genesis and immediately make an absolute booboo regarding their hit Mama - I know it wasn’t Rapper’s Delight, it was The Message by Grandmaster Flash that was the inspiration for the laughy bit! Don’t @ me! Regardless their “The Mama Tour” video is praised to high heaven despite having one of their more embarrassing tunes on it. You know, the one about aliens. No, the *other* one about aliens.

Tina Turner is live and unleashed, in an era before she was the 80s’ favourite purveyor of raunchy soft rock. Still waiting around for Private Dancer et al, she’s mostly doing cover versions. This leads us to remember Steve Coogan’s mostly forgotten comedy character, Tony Ferrino.

We delve into the oeuvre of Thor, Norse god of thunder and, apparently, rock. Wendy O. Williams has been doing stuff with KISS, Manowar has been doing stuff with Orson Welles and Kate Bush gets an interview. Tune in to find out which is her favourite season! This is still Kerrang we’re talking about, by the way!

Along the way we’ll talk robots, graphic design, Eminem, Lenny Kravitz (yet again) and Eamon Holmes. Er... rock and roll...?

Kerrang 176 Feb 1988 - Motorhead, Faith No More and Zodiac Mindwarp's comics reviews

Episode 28

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 01:12:39

Fresh Blood Could Kill Me

Kicking off a new year and a new podcast with yet more Gen Patter, as we question whether Gen Z are into Zorro, and wonder whether it’s too late in the game to change the name of the podcast. Simply Red are reappraised, despite not appearing in this week’s issue of Kerrang! However - we do get Atomkraft, WASP, The Accused, Dogs D’amour, Paul Sabu, and Zodiac Mindwarp.

Kommunikation features opposing views about Faith No More (still in their Chuck Mosely era) which somehow sends us off down a rabbit hole where we discuss Paris Jackson and Incubus. We ask is “Martha Splatterhead” a feminist trailblazer, and wonder about the state of digital watch technology in the early 80s.

We lament questionable marketing for Aerosmith’s Honkin’ on Bobo and present our pitch for the Sabbat biopic. There’s big features on Motorhead (apparently Lemmy is proper into The Titanic) and Heart (which means I can bang on about Dream of The Archer again). We finish off with a new KWIZZ, which goes a lot better than the last time we tried a KWIZZ.

Also: Coronation Street!

Metal Movies

Episode 27

Wednesday, January 3, 2024 • Duration 19:15

The Lost Picture Show

Like a Christmas Gift For You, but less problematic (thanks Phil!) here’s a very special BONUS podcast that we recorded way back in April.

We basically spend this bonus episode promoting Reels Ov Steel, the Heavy Metal Movies podcast, who probably have way more listeners than we do, but what you gonna do? This led us to discuss what constitutes a good example of a metal movie. Can you make a case for something being metal just because you like it? We investigate.

We suggest a few movies that our pals at Reels Ov Steel have since covered, but that just means great minds think alike, right? Also you get our hot takes about cinematic masterpieces like Singles and Iron Man 2.

Spoiler: Garden State is not a metal movie.

In addition we look at a few upcoming rock biopics and give our verdict on the value of movies that haven’t been released yet.

Kerrang’s Kerristmas Kwizz, Digital KISS and Xmas Movies Sortout

Episode 26

Wednesday, December 13, 2023 • Duration 01:04:50

Get drunk enough and it’ll be fine

Welcome to our Christmas Pod (for the third time). We thought we were done but then there was some IMPORTANT BREAKING KISS NEWS to cover (sorry... “kover”). Along the way we talk ABBA (obviously), The Millennium Dome, Spice Girls and horror movies that make you cry (or possibly just me). Damn you Guillermo Del Toro!

We attempt to delve into Kerrang’s Kerristmas Kwizz, but due to bad planning it doesn’t really work. At least it gives us an excuse to post a picture of Lisa Dominique looking sexual, as always. Talking of sexual, how do you like our new album art? Pretty sweet, right?

There’s some Christmas DEEP KUTZ that aren’t very deep, grudging praise for the skills of the doctor from The Human Centipede, lots of Krampus talk and then the podcast cuts off before the end because our microphone batteries ran out. Ordinarily that should mean it all goes in the vault, but we thought what the hell put the pod out anyway, because nothing says end of term vibes like this absolute shambles. There’s some good clips though.

CAN I POD WITH MADNESS THEME by Oliver Gardiner

Kerrang December 1988 - Gary Moore, Manowar and The KLF

Episode 25

Monday, December 11, 2023 • Duration 01:24:50

Following Gary Moore into Battle

Welcome to our Christmas Pod (for the second time). It's 1988 and behind the glorious Simon Bisley cover we're looking at a whole bunch of Festive Feechas, once we're done gatekeeping the work of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin.

Uriah Heep are playing a Christmas festival, there's some surprising news about Marillion and we explore the connection between mystical unicorns and Gary Moore.

Most of the Korrespondents in this issue are writing in to defend(er) Manowar, while we find ourselves inexplicably preoccupied by an advert for FIST. Did you ever FIST? Let us know!

We get some great quotes- sorry, Kwotes and pics of the year, and recap some of the news stories we've covered in the course of the podcast.

In addition we highlight some of our Christmas faves, not to mention some of the great electronic acts of the early 90s like The Shamen, the KLF and Jive Bunny.

(During the recording of this episode, one of the cats jumped up on the keyboard, somehow switched it on and started playing the piano in a sort of free jazz, Keith Tippett style. Unfortunately our microphones completely failed to pick up the audio, but if you wonder why we start asking her if she wants to play any more, that's the reason)

Kerrang December 1983 - Crüeniversary, Star Fleet and Krampus

Episode 24

Tuesday, November 28, 2023 • Duration 01:46:56

Captain Santa With a Bomb

It's Christmas time, so naturally we spend about an hour talking about going to For The Love of Horror, the UK's premier horror convention. If you want to hear us going on and on about The Lost Boys you're in the right place!

Otherwise it's business as usual as we delve into a festive edition of Kerrang from 1983. The stars of Metal are asked what they want for Christmas and most of their answers are variations on the same theme. Shout at the Devil era Mötley Crüe are on the cover and give us some extremely on brand quotes, and reveal their inconsistent scoring system. ZZ Top are compared to Status Quo but don't rise to it. We sing the praises of some of Ozzy Osbourne’s lesser known hits (but not the version of Changes he did with Kelly).

Brian May of Queen is ready to launch his Star Fleet project and we ponder whether Hot Space was all that bad. We get confused as to when Dragon Attack came out, but the movie had them recording We Will Rock You in the 80s, so get off our dick. Hawkwind's Sonic Attack is recalled, as is Hard Rock Zombies and we consider whether it's even possible to dislike Genesis.

Metal Hammer Nov 1987 - Iron Maiden, Chris De Burgh and Mr Blobby

Episode 23

Wednesday, November 15, 2023 • Duration 01:11:45

Modern Day Emu

We're back under the Metal Hammer this week as we take a look at a pre Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Iron Maiden. They're in a reflective mood (doing promo for their video 12 Wasted Years) but that leads us to talk Tiswas, Going Live, Live and Kicking and CD:UK. Along the way we get sidetracked by Stephen King, Mr Blobby, You and Me (Duncan the Dragon vs Cosmo and Dibs), Casper’s Brainy Book and various other nostalgic reminiscences.

We discuss the pros and cons of Live albums and once again Chris De Burgh raises his head. Well it is still Halloween, technically.

Elsewhere we've got Loudness (a Japanese band interviewed by a German journalist, in English, which somehow goes without a hitch), Marillion (in a less than stellar live review, which nevertheless points the way forward for Bruce Dickinson's solo career), The Great Kat (exhorting us to worship her or die) and Paul Di'Anno (talking Frank Sinatra and sexy robots).

Kerrang October 1987 - Halloween Special with Alice Cooper, Aerosmith and The TSB

Episode 22

Tuesday, October 31, 2023 • Duration 01:33:20

Bin Bag Witches

In this spooky Halloween Special, we discuss going to The Happiest Place On Earth, ruminate on the difference between Millennials and Generation X and face up to the fact that we're now fully fledged Disney Adults.

We ask what makes a great Halloween playlist and whether it should include Monster Mash or not (also we keep alluding to an amazing Monster Mash fact that we never get around to, sorry).

We're looking at Kerrang in October '87 and along the way we're hearing from AC/DC, Aerosmith, Savatage, Kreator, Doro, Lizzy Borden, and the Lizzy Borden of his day, Alice Cooper.

There's also some rock news, TSB Rock School Competition (again) Klassifieds and an angry letter about Mötley Crüe.

DEEP KUTZ this week features - shocker - a new song. It’s the band @Dethonator (who by their own description “Sounds like Rob Halford flying a Spitfire made of Maiden shirts to a Metallica show”), with their track Donnington, which you should all go out and buy now because it’s amazing!

We reminisce about The Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood and The Rainforest Cafe in this one, so I guess we must have been hungry when we recorded it.

And the feature you’ve all been waiting for we tackle The Filthy Fifteen!

Q Magazine March 1989 - Guns n Roses, Fine Young Cannibals, Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Episode 21

Wednesday, October 18, 2023 • Duration 01:33:11

Cosplaying as the 90s

This is Can I Pod With Madness so why the hell are we talking about Elvis Costello, The Fine Young Cannibals and Freiheit? Well we've put away childish things (temporarily) and decided to get all sophisticated by looking at an issue of Q Magazine, the *modern* guide to music and more.

The original idea was to mix things up a bit and not talk about the same bands all the time, but we do happen to have landed on an issue with a pretty hefty feature on Guns n' Roses, so we're not exactly reinventing the wheel here.

Along the way we'll be talking about rock movies, singing actors, Tom Cruise's bad poetry, and the thing that Cliff Richard doesn't wear. Also we've got the first of our DEEP KUTZ (and a rumination on the jam band boom of the early 90s), and, in the run up to Halloween, maybe a spooky story or two
