TKDF Vampires (#114)

Source file here. Originally broadcast on June 25th, 1998.

Ah, vampires. They get a lot of attention, as ghouls go. Why did we never do a show about yeti or Frankenstein's monster? They don't generate the raw material in media that vampires do. Also, zombies.

Among the movies heard here are the dryly humorous Nadja, Tony Scott's chilly The Hunger, Polanski's goofball Fearless Vampire Killers, Abel Ferrara's academic and brutal The Addiction, and the ones everyone knows. The dialogue heavy movies like Nadja and The Addiction make the show somewhat philosophical and Nietzschean, while others variably add creepy dread, campy horror, and short spurts of bloody gore—or at least the sounds of it. All in all, a rather verbose, thinking-vampire's production.

Angie Dickinson does not take any crap.

Cineshow (#111)

Careful observers of the main page for all the recordings will notice that we've almost come to the end of the list. There may be a short hiatus while the remainder of the shows are cataloged and uploaded, but I'll have to see exactly how it all rolls out.

Our Cinematic Wonderland show comes hot on the heels of the storybook wonderland show, at least in this world. A gathering of soundtracks from movies popular and otherwise was used to create this brooding, ethereal show. Where the previous show was a hyperactive fluff of dense sugar foam, this one comes across more like a thick vermouth of adult topics. There is some comedy as well, but the flavor is decidedly more mature.

1. Little child, on a postcard.
2. Nobody important, have you seen The Herald?
3. Transient or Resident?
4. I'm very sorry, sir, can you make us cry?
5. Somebody just complained, turn around
6. Rocky Horror Shortstop
7. I'll make it short, honk honk
8. Family Traditional Scream
9. Spirit in the Sky
10. Junkie Chase in Space
11. Just talking about a mine shaft
12. I am Iron Man
13. That dammed French computer again
