  • BONUS Episode - Ridley Scott's LEGEND! (originally recorded June 29/2025)

    BONUS Episode - Ridley Scott's LEGEND! (originally recorded June 29/2025)
    2026/09/21
    On this BONUS episode, we look at Ridley Scott's 1985 fantasy epic Legend, where Tim Curry delivers one of cinema's most memorable portrayals of evil incarnate as the "Lord of Darkness" – a towering, crimson-skinned monster with the horns of a minotaur and ...well...the voice of Tim Curry!
    Curry's theatrical background shines through his commanding physical presence and deliciously hammy delivery, creating a devil that's equal parts terrifying and charismatic. From his unmistakable laugh to his appropriately devilish "We are all animals, Lady," Curry transforms what could have been a generic fantasy villain into a genuinely unsettling embodiment of temptation and corruption.
    We explore how Legend fits into the broader tradition of cinematic devils, examining Curry's performance alongside the film's fairy tale aesthetics and its deeper themes about the eternal struggle between good and evil. Whether you love it or.....REALLY love it, there's no denying that Curry's Darkness left an indelible mark on horror and fantasy cinema.

  • Tim Curry Tribute

    Tim Curry Tribute
    2026/09/20
    A while back we covered Ridley Scott's Legend over on our bonus feed — Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness, twelve feet of horns and somehow still the most charming thing in the movie. We've moved that episode over to the regular feed, free for everybody.He was everywhere, and he was part of all our lives. Hexxus to Pennywise. Rooster to Richelieu. Frank N. Furter to Forte, the evil talking pipe organ. He was Long John Silver and Captain James Hook, two of fiction's greatest pirates. In The Worst Witch, which is where Lester first saw him, he showed us that anything can happen on Halloween. His voice and his presence were unmistakable, and his Lord of Darkness is the perfect fantasy devil — equal parts scary and sexy, as only Tim Curry can do.So go watch Legend if you haven't, or rewatch it if it's been a while. There are a lot of different versions out there, because Ridley Scott. But the best version will always be the one with the most Tim Curry. Thank you, Mr. Curry, for filling our lives with joy, and for making us laugh, cry, and shiver with anticipation.

  • Letters From The Earth, Letter 6: Waiter! There's a Fly In My Ark!

    Letters From The Earth, Letter 6: Waiter! There's a Fly In My Ark!
    2026/09/20
    Letter Six opens with the funniest sentence in the book: "On the third day, about noon, it was found that a fly had been left behind." The Ark turns around. Sixteen days of searching follow, and the fly is recovered and welcomed aboard with hymns of praise, the family standing uncovered out of reverence for its divine origin. It had not lacked for food — the multitudinous corpses had furnished it in rank and rotten richness.Satan insists this was no accident. Without that one housefly, the repopulated world would have gone without typhoid fever — a disease he admires because it can wreck a patient without killing him, restoring him to his feet with a long life ahead and yet deaf, dumb, blind, crippled, and idiotic. Billions of sickbeds stocked, billions of cemeteries recruited, all from one fly, foreordained from the dawn of creation.Then Satan hands over the key to the whole Bible God: jealousy. Among humans it ranks as a weakness, a trademark of small minds, a thing the smallest mind will lyingly deny. And here is God announcing it outright — I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God — which Satan says is only another way of saying: I am a small God, and fretful about small things.The letter ends with the harshest passage in the book so far. Every mechanism of the human body has an enemy planned for it by the Creator. Not one has been overlooked. They are an organized army, a besieging army, moving by squad and company and regiment. It is the Creator's Grand Army, and he is the commander in chief. And man's chiefest pet name for his ferocious commander in chief is Our Father in Heaven.We also get into whether we should eradicate mosquitoes now that we can, the Euthyphro problem explained via a turkey sandwich, and why this letter reads less like blasphemy and more like an old man's grief.
