The topic of being mainstream or too popular or even lack of popularity has been an evergreen conversation since time began, or ever since we started taking joy in the forms of entertainment that we do now. But what does being popular or even mainstream mean really? In this episode, we took a look at some of the numbers going back all the way to when it began… That is, 1970 when Black Sabbath released their debut album. What do you folks think? Is metal popular? Is it mainstream? Tune in to see what the fellas talk about and where they land as well as catching up with what they've been watching and listening to!

In this installation of our favorite director deep dives, we tackle the drama genre! We didn't realize what a task this actual category would be, and while some of our names might be repeats from past categories, you might be none to surprised to find out that both Aaron and Nick share some of their faves in the exact same ranking. Tune in to see who was left out and who was mentioned as we tackle our top 10 favorite drama directors! Plus, what have we been listening to? Find out!

You know how it goes, if you're part of any collective group that's taking part in some form of entertainment, you have a mental idea of do's and don'ts, an invisible set of guidelines that would probably benefit everyone being entertained at the same time as you so that you can all collectively enjoy what's happening around you but real life unfortunately isn't always willing to play along. In this episode, we get up on our "old guys yelling at clouds"soap boxes and kind of go over stuff we wish were the norm. Basic respect that shows? Yes please! Some of these might seem like basic things, but you'd be surprised, especially once other factors are involved. Check it out to see exactly what changes we'd make when attending a show, and if you agree with any of these or disagree even, let us know! I mean, it's not like there's an actual etiquette rulebook out there for people going to show shows or anything, or is there?

If you know the name, you know what we're about to get into! You know his bands: The Misfits. Samhain. Danzig. A decade-spanning career in music and actually in other formats that we completely left out, those being comic books and movies. But since we first discovered him musically, we started with our introductions to that music and what kept us coming back year after year, album after album, until well, when it got a bit tougher to keep coming back. This is our look back at Glen Danzig's music as incredibly loyal fans… Or fiends, as it were.

Well folks! 2025 has come and gone and left a path of destruction in it's wake. However, it's also left a bunch of music, movies and a lot of books that we enjoyed over this past year.

In this, our most current foray into albums that both of us enjoy, we decided to look at a double whammy of releases provided by the one majestic darkness brought to our meager ears by the most talented Chelsea Wolfe! Taking a listen to 2010's "The Grime and the Glow" and also 2011's "Apocalypsis", we once again trip all over ourselves talking about exactly what hooked us in those early albums and early performances we managed to catch, and how stoked we are, and the continued success of this amazing and most provocative musician. Take a lesson as we also catch up on what we've been watching!

In this episode, our paths just so happened to cross with one of the masterminds behind Irish Voodoo/Black Voodoo Records... the man, the myth, the Megadeth fan: Daniel "Danny" King! As you'll be able to tell, Danny is a fan of music from all over the place, but he's a person who likes to put the spotlight on some of the local talent around him. For this, I'm pretty sure some of the bands that have been chosen to be amongst the elite within the ranks of BVR releases count themselves lucky! Tune in to hear him talk about what his process is, how he selects the bands he decides to work with, and what Corey Feldman might be up to. Believe us, it'll make sense once you listen!
