Dead Air: Episode 28 – The Lords of Salem – The Limited Release is Spreading

Time for smash it or trash it time here at The Liberal Dead’s Dead Air podcast. No doubt you’ve been scouring the internet trying to figure out just what you think about Lords of Salem even if you haven’t seen it yet due to the absolutely limited initial screenings around the U.S. Don’t let us stop you from trying to figure out where you can see it in its limited release, but rest assured that it is playing in more theaters now than on its initial release date. You may have a shot at catching it on the big screen which I can assure you is an experience to have. You may have to travel, or you may have to pick up the UK DVD. Whether you’ve seen the movie or not, Jeff Konopka, Shawn Savage and Jimmy Terror give you the lowdown on the newest Rob Zombie picture that’s as divisive as the new Evil Dead and nowhere near what you might expect from the death city rocker.

Now normally we might have spoilers in an episode discussing a new film saved for the end of the episode and well announced so you can keep a movie fresh and clean in your fresh young minds, while having a private discussion at the end of the podcast with those listeners who may have seen the movie already. We really didn’t do that at all this time, so you’ll have a whole bunch of content to enjoy without fear of having the movie ruined for you.

If for no other reason you might consider seeing this picture to see the other side of the Geico caveman. Lords of Salem may not be quite as easy as switching to Geico, but the performance by Jeff Daniel Phillips (the Caveman) is definitely worth checking out.

This is one episode you don’t want to miss! You may Download the MP3 here or Subscribe Via iTunes. iTunes listeners: Please take a moment to leave us a rating/review, and we will share it on an upcoming podcast! Weigh in on Evil Dead. Let us know what you think and spread this around if you think we got it right, got it wrong or if you still need more input.

You can pick up the UK Region 2 disc HERE at DiabolikDVD (no Blu-ray for the UK sorry). It’s also available at Amazon UK as an alternate source.

Make up your own mind about the movie and try to support horror in the theater if at all possible.

Please drop us a review over on iTunes if you like this podcast, hate this podcast or simply want to help a bunch a fellas out. Again, you can Subscribe Via iTunes and reviews can be as long, short or vulgar as you like. Make us blush.

Also, we’re about to close the doors on a John Dies at the End DVD giveaway. Check out the details HERE and enter.

Critters Retrospective Series From Dead Air: Power of the Night

Welcome to the next retrospective series from the Dead Air crew featuring all four films in the Critters franchise. Four movies you say? Yes. There were four movies made. Sure we all know about the glowing red eyes outside of the Browns’ window that scared the Stone out of Dee Wallace. We are all familiar with the Easter Bunny as played by the local sheriff, Easter Sunday at the Hungry Heffer and the Easter Eggs from the crazy vegetarian lady who gave Carob  bunnies to kids in lieu of chocolate. But what of the latter day tomes that offer us a deeper understanding of Charlie? What of the mating habits of the urban Crite? If you think you’ve seen it all. If Critters only has two movies in your humble opinion, Leonardo DiCaprio disagrees.

The Return Of The Raunchy Parody; A Blu-Ray Review Of ‘A Haunted House’; Available From Universal April 23

While I have always been a fan of the early raunchy parodies done by the Wayans’ such as ‘Scary Movie’ and ‘Don’t Be A  Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood’ the majority of the parody films released in recent memory are anything but memorable. So much so in fact that I have pretty much forced myself not to watch any of them including recent entries in the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise which went horribly downhill following the departure of the Wayans’ and the resulting formula change implemented in the series as a result. Well rest assured fans such as myself, ‘A Haunted House’ is a return back to the quality (as far as the term quality can be applied to such films as these) raunchy and R-Rated spoofs. If you are a fan of the original ‘Scary Movie’ and similar titles, this one should be right up your alley. Continue reading

Dead Air: Episode 27 – EVIL DEAD – Should You See It?

And when the smoked cleared the box office was still standing and another horror movie captured the hard earned dollars of ticket-goers in 2013. But what of the move itself? Did they naysayers say their nays correctly? Did the cheerleaders waive their pom poms in vane? What of this remake/re-imagined/re-worked/newly dreamed EVIL DEAD beasty that took horror fans to task and asked whether one of horror’s greatest splatter fests could be envisioned with new eyes and new characters under new directorship? The questions you are asking are all valid and for those of you who haven’t yet had the chance to hit up the theater you may be quite torn. Do you watch the new EVIL DEAD? Horrors fans, hope you enjoyed the long drive to the cabin in the middle of nowhere. You can turn your Necronomicon to page one and abandon all hope. Anybody remember the gas can for the chainsaw?

DEAD ALREADY: – Ep. 16 of THE WALKING DEAD – Welcome to the Tombs

It’s over people. Season 3 of The Walking Dead has come to a close and we have questions. I will be the first to admit that this was not what I had in mind for a season finale though I was able to make a few predictions that did come to fruition. That doesn’t mean that I’m happy about them coming to fruition. Was it all you had hoped for in a season? Did season 3 exceed your expectations as a whole or overpower the previous two seasons? What the Hell are they going to dream up next for season 4 and with a new show runner no less?  

This is why you have tuned in to Dead Already, the unofficial Walking Dead podcast brought to you by The Liberal Dead. We have answers. Not always the correct answers but they are responses worth hearing. Most likely this will be the final episode of Dead Already this season barring tremendous fan support for additional episodes featuring further speculation on the upcoming season or additional insight as to what has transpired thus far. It’s about six months till season 4 should hit the greater consciousness of the AMC viewership. Start dreaming up your sexual fantasies for Daryl now. 

The-Walking-Dead-Season-3-1

A Proper Vampire Love Story; A Review Of ‘Kiss Of The Damned’

 

‘Kiss Of The Damned’ is the kind of vampire love story that us horror fans can appreciate.  It doesn’t treat things like a teeny bopper film and it properly details what would be likely to happen assuming things such as vampires were real, and if such a situation as this were to occur.  ‘Kiss Of The Damned’ marks the directorial debut of Xan Cassavetes (who also wrote the film) and she does a pretty decent job of keeping everything moving at a smooth place, and the proper amount of foreshadowing and character development needed to make a film such as this work.  The focus of the film is certainly the romance factor, and while the gore is not excessive, it’s quite a beautifully done film.  Continue reading

DEAD ALREADY: – Ep. 15 of THE WALKING DEAD – This Sorrowful Life

Every time I read the title of this week’s episode of The Walking Dead, “This Sorrowful Life”,  I think of This American Life. You know… the radio program that details stories about popular and often controversial topics of relevance to the NPR listeners? I have tried with some consistency to separate this week’s Walking Dead episode title from the hip, socially conscious radio program.  I have failed. With that in mind I keep trying to find metaphor and deeper meaning in the title of said episode as relates to the aforementioned radio program. I should really be taking meds.
