Radio Toilet ov Hell

This week on Toilet Radio: We’re talking about the mid-term elections and confused family members now suddenly concerned about sharia law. BUT MOSTLY we’re talking about the nauseating intersection of heavy metal and A.I. FIRST OFF: We revisit an old favorite in black metal slop – Semargl. Once a 2nd wave black metal band before becoming an Eastern European club banger factory, Semargl is now using AI to rip off Sleep Token. Zacky Vengeance is using Avenged Sevenfold to plug more A.I. bullshit, this time using generated artwork to promote an anemic Misfits cover. Finally, Spotify thinks a real money-making idea is allowing subscribers to generate A.I. remixes of songs. We can’t wait to hear Tomorrow Belongs to Me (Taylor’s Version). Folks, it’s a good one.

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: We’re talking about Jay-Z being selected for the Super Bowl halftime show and hearing from all the usual suspects about the decline of rock and metal for the past 30 years. They also pose a pertinent and never-before-heard argument: Has metal gone WOKE?!?! Then we dive into what appears to be the biggest rock & metal fest in the United States: Welcome to Rockville in Daytona, Florida. This lineup is strange and interesting!? Join us as we explore and rent a camper for a full weekend VIP access. Music featured on this ‘sode: View From the Soyuz – At the Cape… This program is available on Spotify.

This week on Toilet Radio: We’re watching a very well-forgotten 80s horror comedy, My Best Friend is a Vampire! Featuring Kathy Bates, Rene Auberjonois, Fannie Flagg (of Fried Green Tomatoes fame), and literally no one else you’ve ever heard of, this film is surprising in a variety of ways. Despite the presumably low budget, My Best Friend is a Vampire features like five different car chase scenes that rival The French Connection for palpable danger. The film is also set in (and dives deep into!) 1980’s Houston, Texas. Also, it somehow avoids most of the worst offenses of 80s teen comedies of the era. Kind of a strange one! Join us for some laffs on this week’s show. And be sure to join the Patreon for a bonus episode on Evil Dead Burn.

The October Spooktacular continues! This week we’re watching a forgotten Tobe Hooper classic, Spontaneous Combustion (1990). Brad Dourif puts his whole ass into this starring role as the angriest man in the world versus his ex-wife, nuclear technology, and a decades long government conspiracy. We were both kinda shocked by how thoughtful and well-made 75% of this movie is. Further, we’re pretty sure the developers of the very popular Fallout video game series saw this one and decided to take a few, uh, notes for inspiration. This one is on Tubi right now and I cannot recommend it enough. Music featured on this ‘sode: Beaten to Death – Electrocuted by the Sky This program is available on Spotify.

This week on Toilet Radio: We continue the October Spooktacular! Instead of watching a grainy movie filmed on someone’s uncle’s camcorder, we’re mixing it up with a big-budget Hollywood picture! Arachnophobia (1990), stars John Goodman Jeff Daniels as a big city doc who moves to the country. It just so happens that he’s terrified of spiders and a swarm of deadly Venezuelan tarantulas just set up shop in his backyard. Join us as we marvel at the cinematography, laugh along with the hilarious small town stereotypes, and talk about the very real differences in Real Movie horror and Ten Buck Budget horror. Also: the lost art of hiring Jimmy Buffett to write a very literal theme song to your creature feature. Folks, it’s a good one.

This week on Toilet Radio: We kick off our October Spooktacular with 2020 Canadian horror comedy Psycho Goreman! By the creators of one of the greatest shlock films of the century, the extremely funny and disturbing Father’s Day, Psycho Goreman asks the question: what if we made the hardest R-rated movie possible for kids? The results are polarizing! I loved it, Jordan hated it. Join us as we talk all about practical effects, Power Rangers, GWAR, and much, much more. Then join us next week for the stone-cold classic Arachnophobia (1990)! Music featured on this ‘sode: Messier 16 – Mollusk Herald This program is available on Spotify.

This week on Toilet Radio: Brady Ebert, former Turnstile guitarist, failed his competency hearing for his attempted murder charge and has been deemed a danger to himself and others. Put this man in the hardcore hall of fame immediately. Wendys, the fast food chain, has released an EP featuring a bunch of washed metalcore bands to distract you from the fact that their food is awful. Ohio Republican Eric Deters and Kid Rock banded together to put on a festival that went up in flames. Let’s examine one of the most egregious failures of Republican dark money that we’ve ever seen! Finally, a couple got engaged onstage at a Sanguisugabogg show. Gross. We close this show with a super fun track from a French hardcore band that currently has one Bandcamp purchase (me). Listen to it and then fix that. Music featured on this ‘sode: Drops – Dawn This program is available on Spotify.

I have terrible news. The most likely #1 song for this year’s Most Popular Songs of the Year just dropped. We present “Joseph”, the latest from Falling in Reverse, the brain child of apex brain Ronnie Radke. Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Serj Tankian of System of a Down also join in to piss away the remaining drops of credibility they had left. We discuss the song, the lyrics, and the predictably over-rendered and undercooked music video that’ll surely make you say, “Hey, I’ve seen a popular movie in the last 25 years”. But that’s not all, we also discuss Radke trying to threatening to “touch” a powerlifter who doesn’t care for his music via Instagram, the guy from Emmure losing his festival backstage pass for attempting to talk to Danzig, and offer a few Deep Thoughts with Dave Mustaine. Folks, it’s a good one. Music featured on this ‘sode: Minenfeld – .303 Brit This program is available on Spotify.

This week on Toilet Radio: Gen X Correspondent Ian steps in to interview the legendary Kai Hansen of Helloween, Gamma Ray, Unisonic, and a million other cool things. This time he’s talking the magic that only exists when tracking demos, Queen-worship, guitar guy chat, the early days of Helloween, and a frank discussion about A.I. There’s lots of great stuff here. Skip to 27 minutes in if you just wanna hear the interview. But to kick this sode off, me and Jordan are talking about Carrie Underwood (?) covering “Break Stuff”, football, and Zombie Power Trip playing the most juiceless Pantera-headlined New Orleans fest you can imagine. Folks, it’s a good one. Music featured on this ‘sode: Andrew Lee’s Heavy Metal Shrapnel – Beyond the Crystal Screen This program is available on Spotify.

This week on Toilet Radio: Brady Ebert is still killin’ it in court (metaphorically) and now has to stand for a competency evaluation while on trial for attempted murder. Speaking of murder, Bad Wolves are at it again. They first made a name for themselves by releasing a cover of Zombie that killed Dolores O’Riorden. This time they killed Dolly Parton. In the meantime, they’re losing a guitarist who didn’t like the cover’s optics and fighting with right wing nutjobs Skillet. Pretty sure that’s a good thing. In much sadder news, Andy Williams, former guitarist of Every Time I die, pro wrestler, and sexy man, has died. He lived a hell of a life but 48 is way, way too young. Finally, in lighter news, GWAR is being featured in a Mutant Football League 2 and I’ve already pre-ordered it. Folks, it’s a good one.
