January 21, 2013 03:32 AM PST
One of the unique aspects of Joe Dante's 1978 horror film Piranha, is that much of the carnage is a result of impulsive hero and heroine. What might that tell us about the nature of our own culpability in the face of world suffering? Hmmm. Something to ponder on tonight's Fishy Flicks That Church Forgot. NOTE: This episode looks specifically at a Bible passage and discusses religious and Christian ideas related to Piranha, Piranhaconda and Hollow. If that's not your thing then feel free to skip!

January 19, 2012 08:44 AM PST

October 29, 2011 04:00 PM PDT

Bonus! Here's the theme to 1980's slasher film "Madman", but please note, I don't want to break any copyright so get this: It isn't the original. I just sat down at the piano and sung my own version. It's a bit of an improvised performance, but hope you enjoy it! Let me know any suggestions for covers of obscure B-movie horror songs! Episode 15: "The Howling" (1980)

Hi everyone, just a quick note to say sorry that there hasnt been a new show lately. Things have been hectic and I have been plugging on with my masters degree as well as getting ordained and going full time at the church where I am the minister. However, from April, if not before, I should be able to get back to putting some shows out. I just need to know if anyone would listen? Also any advice about how I might give the show a revamp? I'm wondering if they need to be a little shorter and more focused on the single review instead of including lots of news and ramblings. I would also consider moving the show to Podbean which seems more reliable but it might risk a bunch of subscribers not reliasing there's been a change of host and so thinking the show has just stopped. What do you think? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for listening and watch out for new episodes in a while. My Sasquatch Friend Song
