We're back with another quick B-Sides episode (yeah, it was always called that don't look into it). This time around we discuss incredibly old gum that is prone to disintegrating, a belated 311 Day celebration, The Long Good Friday and its amazing decor, a very silly crime docudrama narrated by Robert Stack, and more nu-metal talk. Yes, of course Puya is discussed, but you already knew that.

Oh wow. We've got a heater of an episode for you today.

This time around, Sean and Brad are joined by first ever Queen Venerator guest Joe to discuss the work of Japanese video game publisher FromSoftware.

Kind of.

Look, there's a decent amount of discussion about FromSoft throughout their long, illustrious history, and yes Joe does a wonderful job conveying the true emotional pull these games can have on people, and yes we discuss...

Mother Earth tried to stop this episode from coming out, but we are back after yet another extended absence. Yes, this episode was so powerful the gods tried to silence it by knocking out the power THREE TIMES during this recording.

But despite Sean's audio being dealt a mortal wound (it's fine, you'll get over it), we got this thing across the finish line, and this time Sean brought a heater of a topic: "Go to the Head of the Clas...

The podcast is back at full strength as Sean returns to the co-chair on this one. You would think all that time away would give us time to find new and exciting things to talk about, but thankfully we immediately fall back into our habit of talking about garbage no one has cared about for literal decades.

This time around there's a long discussion about Siskel and E...

We're back after a four month hiatus to bring you our list of the top 100 albums of 2023. Is it, at bare minimum, a month and a half late? Yes. By "we" do we mean "just Brad because Sean wouldn't want any part of this nonsense"? Yes again. But whatever, we're doing it anyway.

It has been another great year for music, which at this point should not be shocking. We've...

We're back with part one of our October horror movie shows. Up first is Brad's pick: the 2003 action/thriller/horror movie 2LDK. We get into the unique origins of the film, the movie's extreme cattiness, and what happens when you're possibly under the thrawl of a bird god in your apartment.

It's October, so you know what that means: we talk about what our names would be if we were in the 80's punk gang from the movie Twice Dead.

It's an action packed episode of Queen Venerator this time around as we discuss a ton of stuff. We open with a super sized edition of Sean's Tubi Corner, as Sean talks about watching the 1995 Casper movie, both Vacancy movies, Grave Encounters 2, and 2000 Maniacs, a gore classic by H.G. Lewis, a guy neither Sean nor Brad like. Next, Brad gives a round up of more 2023 album releases, including new albums from MSPAINT, Matt Robidoux,...

We're back after a month away, and we're coming in hot with an expanded format. It's basically just smashing the long and short shows together into one thing, but it sounds more professional if you talk about formatting. That of course doesn't mean that the talk about nonsense garbage has stopped, or really been focused in any way, as this one goes everywhere.

We talk about the oft-maligned 1996 Jerry O'Connell vehicle Joe's Apartm...

It finally happened.

After eight months of struggle, anger, and abject failure, it finally happened. 

We're finally putting out our episode on the 1991 Tony Scott action movie classic The Last Boy Scout starring Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans, Taylor Negron, and Halle Berry.

Please, for the love of God, enjoy.
