    Letters From The Earth, Letter 7: Noah And His Family Get Hooked!
    2026/09/27
    Letter Seven finds Noah's family aboard and saved — if that could be called an advantage, Satan says, since no intelligent person over sixty would consent to live his life again. They were saved, but they were not comfortable, for they were full of microbes. Full to the eyebrows, obese with them, distended like balloons. Enough had to be preserved to supply future races with desolating diseases, and there were only eight people aboard to serve as hotels.Typhoid, cholera, lockjaw, consumption, black plague, and hundreds of other aristocrats — golden bearers of God's love to man — all sumptuously housed in the lungs, the heart, the brain, and particularly the guts, where the great intestine was the favorite resort. They gathered by countless billions and sang hymns of praise, and at night when it was quiet you could hear the soft murmur of it. Their principal hymn: Constipation, constipation, the joyful sound proclaim, till man's remotest entrail shall praise its Maker's name.Then it turns. Many poor people go barefoot because they can't afford shoes, and the Creator saw his opportunity. He always has his eye on the poor — nine-tenths of his disease inventions were meant for them. You can tell because one of the pulpit's favorite names for him is the Friend of the Poor, and the pulpit never pays him a compliment with a vestige of truth in it. When science exterminates a disease that's been working for God, God gets the credit. He is the slowest mover in the universe, and in all history never thought of a noble deed first — he always arrives just after somebody else did it, and annexes the dividend. The hookworm cure was going to cost a million dollars, and God was just reaching for his wallet when Mr. Rockefeller pushed in ahead of him.The letter closes with a convert who asks his priest how to be worthy of his new faith and is told to imitate his Father in Heaven. He studies his Bible thoroughly and does exactly that. The results are catastrophic. When he reports back, the priest changes the subject and asks what kind of weather he's having up his way.

  • 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.
