Wu Tang For Life with Method Man

Wu-Tang legend Method Man returns to Talk Is Jericho to talk about his massive comic book collection (including key issues worth serious money), how he became a full-blown horror movie fan (Evil Dead II, Dead Alive, and deep-cut horror trivia included), and why horror-con fans might be the most passionate fans on Earth. Method breaks down the origins of Wu-Tang Clan, how the group scraped together studio money in the early days, the genius strategy behind their groundbreaking record deal, and what it was really like being part of Wu-Tang’s recent “final” tour. Method also shares powerful memories of ODB, and explains why ODB was the soul of Wu-Tang, and why his energy can never be replaced. Plus, Method gets real about his acting career, how music opened the door to Hollywood, what he learned working alongside Samuel L. Jackson, why he humbled himself by sleeping on his manager’s couch, and why acting has now become his main creative focus. And if you listen closely, you might catch Method leading a little spontaneous doo-wop sing-a-long!

Maria Cuccio was a married Long Island piano teacher and mother of three when she woke up in the middle of the night in 1992 to a blinding white light! She felt her body lifted by a beam, and found herself aboard a spacecraft surrounded by tall robed beings. She was shown a group of children, including an 8-year-old boy she was told was her son, Elijah! Maria recounts the unbelievable experience, and explains the profound impact it had on her life. She details the Long Island and Montauk UFO activity of the 1980s and 90s, the reactions of her husband, children, doctors, and psychiatrists, and the decades she spent journaling her experiences in silence before finally speaking out. Maria also discusses suppressed childhood memories, missing time, unexplained disappearances, government disclosure, UAPs, and why she believes thousands of women around the world share variations of her same story.

Kuarantine’s PJ Farley and Charlie Parra along with drummer Joey Cassata return for the KISS Classic Album Clash, and this time it’s Lick It Up vs. Asylum! They break down two of KISS’ most iconic non-makeup records track by track… and no song, solo, drum fill, or album cover is safe! They’re diving into the post-apocalyptic Lick It Up reveal, the neon madness of Asylum, Gene’s “checked-out” 80s narrative (and why it may be dead wrong), and the songs that nearly saved (or sank) the band. Hear how Rick Derringer ended up shredding on “Exciter,” why Eric Carr secretly wrote the riff to “All Hell’s Breakin’ Loose,” how “Who Wants To Be Lonely” became a surprising fan favorite, and why Joey once sprinted through a mall just to see KISS without makeup for the first time.
