February 28, 2019 23:33 - 1 hour - 66.5 MBThe boys of Time Bandits board a slow boat bound for the shores of New York City. There they face the danger of getting their heads punched off, or worse yet, having to sit through Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan. While there, they drop in on Lou Reed as he teaches them the ins and outs of New York (and verbosity) with his aptly titled album, New York. Their first mate on the voyage is the delightful Ariel Fisher (Row Three, Rue Morgue Magazine). Follow her on Twitter! --- ...

Episode 31 – The Abyss, Deepstar Six, Leviathan, and Billy Joel’s Stormfront
February 28, 2019 23:29 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBThis week’s episode is a very special one as we dive deep to uncover the mysteries of underwater aliens in not one but three classic (alright, one classic, one underrated and one suck-fest) films from 1989: The Abyss ,Leviathan and DeepStar Six. Then we head up to the surface to weather Billy Joel’s Storm Front, an album most notable for it’s inclusion of the hit song We Didn’t Start The Fire.

Then we try to pump some life into Aerosmith‘s 1989 effort Pump by talking about how generic and terrible it is and how much Casey loves it. Our guest this week is Modern Superior‘s own Bruce Douglas (of Lonely Nights with Bruce D...

February 28, 2019 23:28 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBThe dudes at Time Bandits are going back in time alone this week, as a scheduling conflict has left them to check out the 1989 piece of horror-filmmaking garbage Hellgate all by their lonesome selves. This movie is up there with Troll II, Deadly Prey, and more in terms of how bad it is – so you want to hear this one. Then, they let their backbone slide and check out Maestro Fresh Wes’ smash album Symphony in Effect. Does this Canadian classic hold up, or does it just sound like watered down...
