Join James Kline and J.H. Alison as Retro Blood continues It Came From Outer Space Month: Part 2 with the bizarre sci-fi horror comedy TerrorVision—a movie where an alien monster gets beamed into a swinger family's satellite dish and all hell breaks loose!
The boys kick off with their quick thoughts on the film and a debate on horror comedy—what works, what doesn’t, and why this one’s… something else.
Then it’s time for the Retro Blood History Segment, diving into what was happening on the movie's release date, February 14, 1986:
-
In Pro Wrestling, the legendary Big Gold Belt debuts in NWA, with Ric Flair defending against Barry Windham in Florida Championship Wrestling.
-
In Metal, Alison highlights W.A.S.P.’s release of “Wild Child,” tying it perfectly to the character “O.D.” from the movie repping a W.A.S.P. shirt and attitude.
They then dig into the production of TerrorVision, including:
-
Director Ted Nicolaou, producer Charles Band, and the Empire Pictures / Full Moon legacy
-
The film’s ultra-brief 4-day theatrical run
-
Simultaneous production with Troll, and how the poster was made before the script
-
Cast highlights and on-set stories
Finally, it’s the full review: Hot tubs in the Pleasure Zone, swingin’ parents, metalhead O.D. getting his face ripped off, stone-titted Medusa, a doomsday-planning grandpa, and Sherman—the only one who knows the truth.
This episode is pure satellite-fed, slime-drenched 80s madness.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
