Episode 237

A science fiction meditation of depression, a sincere bikers versus zombies novella, a look at a franchise of Thai supernatural gore films, a Bruce Springsteen parody song, and a sober tribute to a legendary French artist. This week's Dread Media is as diverse as ever. First, Desmond and Darryll review Lars von Trier's intense Melancholia. Then Desmond goes solo on Greg Lamberson's new novella from Creeping Hemlock Press: Carnage Road. Continuing his tour of southeast Asia, Devil Dinosaur Jr. talks about the first two films in the Art of the Devil series in the latest Stay Scary. Then, finally, Desmond accompanies Tom Deja in this week's Macabre Musical Theatre in their rendition of "Universal City." We're sorry. Other songs of note: "And Sadness Will Sear" by Trivium, "Depression" by Black Flag, "The Long Road" by Tiger Army, "Black Magic" by Slayer, and "Temple of Your Dreams" by Monster Magnet.
