Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre

From the dawn of time we came, Divers…moving silently down through the centuries. Living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time when we could finally Podcast about Russell Mulcahy's 1986 Sword & Sorcery/Urban Fantasy classic, Highlander! 🎶Here we are born to be kings! We're the princes of the universe!🎶

Divers, What is best in life?  1) The open steppe, a clear day, and a swift horse under you. 2) To crush your enemies -- See them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women! 3) To Deep Dive John Milius's Sword and Sorcery classic, Conan The Barbarian!

We're back, Divers with part two of our Swords and Sorcery series, Matthew Robbins's Dark Fantasy Monster Movie, Dragonslayer! This one was very formative for young Nickie so again should be a very fun discussion.

Divers, N&D are kicking off a five part Sword and Sorcery series! First up is John Boorman's epic tale of chivalry Excalibur! This is a very foundational film for Dave, that Nick had previously never seen, making for a very fun discussion.

Divers, N&D are back to conclude the Tarantino Imperial Phase Series by Deep Diving his 1997 Midlife Crisis Crime Caper Hang Out movie, Jackie Brown! Maybe put on a Delfonics record and make yourself a screwdriver to get in the mood?

Continuing their Quentin Tarantino Imperial Phase Series, N&D Dive into his sophomore film 1994's Neo-Noir Hyperlink Crime Comedy, Pulp Fiction! An Elvis man should love it!

Divers, N&D are making good on promises from the early days of the Pod and Diving into the films of Quentin Tarantino. First up of course is his 1992 Hard Boiled Indie Heist Thriller, Reservoir Dogs!

Yeah, we're thinking we're back, Divers. Because it's time for N&D to deliver their Hot Takes on John Wick: Chapter 4. Your tour guides went directly from an IMAX screening into the Podcave in order to bring you their thoughts on Chad Stahelski's Neo-Noir Neo-Western Neo-Chanbara Gun-Fu Thriller as fresh as possible!

The long wait is over, Divers. N&D have been promising to Deep Dive the John Wick series since the earliest days of the Podcast and with the release of Chapter 4 imminent the timing was finally right.

Divers, we've reached the Penultimate episode of the James Cameron Imperial Phase Series. You may find this one a little challenging to watch along with as Cameron's 1989 Sci-fi Submarine Mystery Thriller, The Abyss is not available for streaming. So you're going to need to score yourself a vintage DVD, Laserdisc or even better a VHS copy to Dive Into with N&D...or use more illicit means, you're r...

All right, Divers, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? It's another glorious Deep Dive of an Imperial Phase James Cameron Sci-Fi film! This episode N&D are Diving into his 1986 Science Fiction Action Horror, Aliens! All right Divers, on the ready line! Time for a Bug Hunt!

We're Back, Divers! For the first instalment in their James Cameron Imperial Phase series, N&D are Diving into his seminal 1984 Cyberpunk Action Slasher, The Terminator! There is a slight format change beginning with this episode, but no less of the nerding out and trash talk that you're accustomed to.

We've done it, Divers. Another trip around the sun survived! That means it's time for our third annual Year End Faves Episode! N&D discuss their favorite media of 2022 as well as rank the films of the Cyberpunk Series.

Divers, we've reached the final episode of the Cyberpunk Series and we're ending strong. N&D Deep Dived into Denis Villeneuve's 2017 Hard-boiled Tech-Noir Thriller Sequel, Blade Runner 2049.

For the penultimate episode of the Cyberpunk Series, N&D are Deep Diving Pete Travis's 2012 Expressionist Buddy Cop Siege Thriller, Dredd. You know it's always going to be a good time when Karl Urban is involved!

We're Tom Cruise running into the home stretch of the Cyberpunk Series, Divers. For part 8 N&D are Deep Diving Steven Spielberg's 2002 Dystopian Tech Noir Thriller, Minority Report. Long movie, makes for a long episode because this one had a lot to unpack.

Divers after 11 months to be going back to where the year started...Back to the Matrix.  For part 7 of their Cyberpunk Series N&D got to Deep Dive the original Matrix and it was quite a treat.

For episode six of the Cyberpunk Series, N&D are Deep Diving Alex Proyas's Dark City. This Neo-Noir Gothic Horror Sci-fi Mystery, was Proyas's follow up to Dave Fave, The Crow, so you know we were excited to Dive In.

Divers, we've reached the mid-point in our Cyberpunk Series. For episode 5 N&D are Deep Diving Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys. This Post Apocalyptic Time Travel Thriller was borrowed from another list, to fill in for Mamoru Oshii's Ghost In The Shell, which N&D already covered all the way back in episode 7.

For episode four of their ongoing Cyberpunk Series, N&D are sliiiiding into your Podcatcher with a Deep Dive of Katsuhiro Otomo's Juvenile Delinquent Political Thriller Body Horror, Akira!

For the second instalment in their ongoing Cyberpunk Series, N&D travel to the far future of 2019 to Deep Dive Ridley Scott's 1982 Hardboiled Tech Noir Thriller, Bladerunner!

For their 50th episode N&D are kicking off a 10 part Cyberpunk Series by Deep Diving John Carpenter's 1981 Satirical Dystopian Thriller, Escape From New York! Arguably the first Cyberpunk film or at least Proto-Cyberpunk.

Divers, N&D have analyzed the data and determined that there's two things you all love. Trench coat clad comic book anti-heroes, and Keanu Reeves. Leaving no other choice but to Deep Dive Francis Lawrence's 2005 Neo-Noir Supernatural Thriller, Constantine! Plus there's an announcement about the upcoming 50th episode!
