The Return of the Curse of That's Cool, That's Trash's Ghost!


 We hope all of you out there are staying home and staying safe. We've found that we're doing that easily, but staying SANE in these crazy times is another thing altogether. We decided that a fun alternative to watching the news and scrolling through Twitter endlessly would be to revive the show to help with our isolation stress and cabin fever. Hopefully, some new episodes would be a fun diversion for you, too. We're aiming for an episode a week. Some of the upcoming titles are pictured below. Have a title you always wanted us to do? Want to be a guest on the show? Let us know if in the comments below or on Twitter @that_trash

Demon Cop!!!

Matt's joined by regular guest Jacob Balcom and his cousin Seth Garon, who returns to talk about DEMON COP, the Blood Meridian or The Sound and the Fury of psychotronic auteur films. Demon Cop seems to be the tragic story of a widower who becomes the host of a demon of retribution & changes into a beast with the moon to stalk the members of Denver/Aurora Hills gangs. A virtually impenetrable web of exposition, non-sequitur scenes, and kaleidoscopic plot that simply must been seen to be believed.

ABBY podcast (or, "Is There a Blaxorcist in the House?")

We are proud to present our Abby episode. Available on iTunes and on its Libsyn page.

Sadly, this is Eshu's good side...



Tell us your favorite "blaxploitation" film in the comments for this post.

NEXT UP: DEADLY PREY
A group of sadistic mercenaries kidnap people off the streets and set them loose on the grounds of their secret camp, so the "students" at the camp can learn how to track down and kill their prey. Yet another adaptation of the story "The Most Dangerous Game" with some Vietnam vet First Blood & Rambo: First Blood Part II thrown in there. Get ready to fall in love with the '80s all over again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR & a Peek at What's Coming Up in 2014...

We want to wish you all a happy new year and thank you for your support. 
As always, we would love to grow our audience. If you know someone who'd dig the show, spread the word. Follow us on Twitter and RT often. Reviews on iTunes are a great way to get some more ears on what we're doing.

We have had a lot of fun doing the show and have lots of great things planned for the coming year:
  • In January we'll be joined by a listener to discuss their movie request: They Saved Hitler's Brain
  • In February we will be releasing our 1st video (vidcast) of a feature, Bloody Pit of Horror, with riffs included!
  • We're working on some contests and interactive games to make your experience even more rewarding

To get you psychotronic fans out there drooling for the coming months, here's a sneak peek at what's in store for the winter. Remember, you can always request films either here or through Twitter (@thats_trash).

Coming in January...

After Christmas Evil, we'll be swooping back to 1977 for Abby, a blaxploitation rip-off of The Exorcist:  
When a minister's wife becomes posessed by Eshu, the Nigerian god of sexuality, an exorcist is called in to drive the evil spirit away. (Josiah Howard, "Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide.")
