 185: I, MADMAN (1989) and DUDE BRO PARTY MASSACRE III (2015) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:06:19

It's been a long time since I've done a solo show, and I'm so excited to be spending some alone time with you that I'm sending two of you to face the FIRING SQUAD. First, Michael from California must go up against The Wall for recommending I, MADMAN, a forgotten late 80's flick starring a very not-naked CLAYTON ROHNER warning us all of the deadly dangers of literacy. Then, Zombie Girl TJ will "assume the position" for sending me DUDE BRO PARTY MASSACRE 3 for my birthday. Will they survive the itchy trigger fingers of The Firing Squad? Will Michael be read to filth? Will TJ face Death by Douchebaggery? Plus butt sex on the subway, creepy puppet theater with STEREOPTIK's DARK CIRCUS, and Southern bitchery on Broadway. (Main segment begins at 15:45)

Welcome, my Beautiful Screamerz, to my SUPER-STUFFED BIRTHDAY PARTY! (The episode is super-stuffed. The only thing that got super-stuffed on my birthday was my sinuses...) I've got almost THREE HOURS of natal day fun for you filled with special messages from you as well as an unabashedly gay discussion of a horror classic! That's right. I'm breaking my rule about covering overdone movies, so we're tackling the 1981 Canadian slasher HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I'm joined by supersexy filmmaker and horror guru BRYAN NORTON and supersexy librarian-turned-performer MANUEL CANERI, who bring not only their irresistable hawtness, but their deep, deep knowledge of shish kebob murders, obscure Canadian trivia, Sandy Duncan's glass eye and unspeakably ugly panties. (Segment begins 26:15) Also, how to survive bad theater, disruptive men in dresses, vengence farts, begging for the "D" at the CVS, and getting wet for CHRIS SARANDON. All this and so much more await you...but be advised: BRING YOUR OWN DAMN CAKE! ********************************************** This episode is dedicated in loving memory of GAVIN WADDELL Gavin Waddell and Mike Ryan ********************************************* In you're in the NYC area, get tickets to PARADISO: CHAPTER 1 at http://www.ParadisoEscape.com
