Episode 442: TDO vs. The Curator of Schlock #2

Episode 442 of The Drunken Odyssey, your favorite podcast about creative writing and literature is available on Apple podcasts, stitcher, spotify, or click here to stream (right click to download, if that’s your thing).

On this week’s show, Jeff Shuster and I discuss the genius of Richard Brake, the superior sound design of Rob Zombie’s films, the paradoxes of carnie victimhood, the nightmare underbelly of The Great Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution, mere survival as an inadequate story-goal, likable characters, all while talking about Rob Zombie’s overlooked brutal 2016 masterpiece, 31.

It was indeed sad to see poor Sid Haig has shuffled off this mortal cloil, and if I could’ve thought of a better euphemism, I would have used it. But I would suggest here that the ol’ Curator do a post on ‘Beyond Atlantis’ (1973) which is Sid Haig at his finest.
(I searched for a post on this movie already and couldn’t find one, but I may have been mistaken.)

A really good show this week, covering what appears to be a pretty original thing, but I wonder why Malcolm McDowell and Judy Geeson would even be in it, considering how low the budget is. I suppose English actors just love the work.

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is the only Zombie film I enjoyed, though I like his music. He clearly is a fan of horror films but just can’t put a good one together himself. Loathed his white trash take on the Halloween movies, and found House of 1,000 Corpses nasty torture porn. He needs to stop putting his wife in his films as she can’t act. Good luck if you try to stomach Devil’s Rejects; let me know what you think of it if you can get through the entire film.
