Queen Venerator

On this (thankfully) final episode of Tier List Month, we rank the current logos of every NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB team. Not to spoil too much here, but most of them are trash. How many logos are just a ball inside a circle? If you guessed twenty, you're somehow underestimating how low effort these logos are. --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Tw...

We continue with part two of our 90s Video Game Mascot Tier List, and it is somehow dumber than the first one. Sure, there are popular mascots like Mario and Sonic on here, but they've been talked into the ground. At Queen Venerator, we discuss the mascots that actually matter, like Pipo from Overblood and Skunny Hardnut. Enjoy. Mascots Discussed: Kolibri, Kung-Fu Bunny from Brutal: Paws of Fury ,...

On this episode, we take a detour from our hastily assembled tier list month to conduct a complete breakdown of the LA Chargers 2022 Anime Schedule Release Video. This may seem like a cute, weird video at first glance, but in reality this video is insanely and needlessly vicious. Spoiler alert: this rules.

We apparently keep the month of tier lists rolling with part one of our 90's Video Game Mascot Tier List. Why part one? Well, it's because we're discussing 200 mascots, from the big names like Mario and Sonic to Greendog and Glover. This was a mistake. Enjoy? --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/queenvenerator Faceboo...

Up against a severe time crunch, Brad gives up and decides to make a tier list for the Pitchfork 200 Best Albums of the Last 25 Years, as determined by their readers. --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/queenvenerator Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/queenvenerator/

New episode of the Queen Venerator podcast out now. On this episode, we discuss the album "Soul Makossa" by the Lafayette Afro Rock Band, the history of the band, Manu Dibango, breakbeat sampling, and N'Sync… somehow. --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/queenvenerator Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/queenvenerator...

On this episode of the Queen Venerator podcast, we discuss the 1999 album Homb by the post-rock/folk/avant-garde band Cerberus Shoal. We also read some poetry from 1893, examine underwater hazards, and determine where this unsung gem belongs in the pantheon of great nineties albums. --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Twitter: https://twitter.co...

After an extended hiatus, we are back to discuss the seminal 1978 power pop/punk album Parallel Lines by Blondie.  --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/queenvenerator Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/queenvenerator/

We're back with another our Top 200 Cover Songs list, and this time we're discussing numbers 90 through 81. This is a weird batch of songs that features yodeling country sisters, alternative favorites, and even a cover of a cover.  Songs Discussed: Ben Gibbard - "Friends in the City" Chromatics - "Running Up That Hill" Church of Misery - "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll" The DeZurik Sisters - "...

It's Black Friday, so what better way to distract from your abject misery than another QV Roundup show. On this episode, we discuss two amazing compilation albums from 2021: Dark Entries Records' Back Up: Mexican Tecno Pop 1980-1989  and Analog Africa's  Cameroon Garage Funk,  the current state of Brad's beloved Cleveland Browns (spoiler: not great), and the absolutely titanic wrestling podcasts d...

We're back with our Top 200 Cover Songs List, and this time we're discussing numbers 100 through 91. There are a lot of familiar tracks in this section, which is potentially surprising considering we're barely in the top 100. Either way, good stuff. Songs Discussed (in Alphabetical Order): Aimee Mann - "One" Aretha Franklin - "Respect" Badbadnotgood - "Flashing Lights" The Clash - "I Fought the La...

This is a quick message about the podcast for both new and old listeners. We discuss why we took two weeks off, what the show is about for new listeners, and the status of some of our ongoing podcast projects.

We have finally arrived at the end of our journey through horror films. Thank God. On this episode, Sean and Brad discuss a bunch of zombie movies, a bunch of anthology movies, a few massively controversial picks, cyberpunk nightmares, haunted VHS tapes, religion gone wild, non-Dune sandworms, shunting, rooms filled with barbed wire, exploding heads, slicing up demons with a samurai sword, Kareem...

We're entering the home stretch for this month's scary programming as we cover numbers 50 to 26 on our Top 100 Horror Movies list. In this batch, Sean and Brad discuss functionally useless cookware, watermelon salesmen, alien-derived hallucinogenics, British mods fighting zombies, men in rubber suits, melty Goldblums, Vincent Price being a weirdo, sexy interdimensional horrors, the new flesh, huma...

We roll along with our October festivities as we discuss part two of our Top 100 Horror Movie lists. This time around, Sean and Brad discuss arthouse aliens, possessed hands, devil goats, sexy saxophonists, anime thrillers, cowboy vampires, scary mannequins, body hammers, horrifying head ripping, big sharks, supernatural voodoo women, grocery store slashers, haute couture horror, flying head demon...

October is upon us. It is the time for skeletons, goblins, and of course, horror movies. So what better way to celebrate the holiday season than to discuss not one, but TWO lists of 100 horror movies? Join Sean and Brad for Part One of their discussion of their favorite horror films, and everything that entails. Killer robots, punks doing Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, giant alligators, dream warriors, giant...

On this edition of the Sound of Industry podcast, we finally get around to discussing the music of the Akron Sound. Specifically, we dive into the early days of the scene with bands like Devo, the Numbers Band, and the Rubber City Rebels. It's also a podcast about Northeast Ohio in the 1970's, so there are also some stories about organized crime and labor strikes. Naturally.

On part two of the Sound of Industry, we discuss the history of music in Northeast Ohio prior to the Akron Sound scene, including the rise and fall of legendary DJ Alan Freed, guitar virtuoso Joe Walsh, and some of the players resting just outside of the scene, like The Cramps and The Pretenders. --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Twitter: http...

On this episode, in order to make it up to our listeners for putting out an episode on fantasy football, we decided it was time to endure something painful. So, over the past several days, Brad had to enter the Gauntlet of Trash, a marathon of ten truly horrible horror films that he had not seen before, and it certainly lived up to that moniker. On this episode, we delve into part one of the exper...

In the late 1970's, Northeast Ohio was quickly becoming a driving force in underground music. Bands like Devo, Pere Ubu, The Dead Boys, and The Waitresses were quickly garnering international recognition, with legendary Stiff Records even putting out The Akron Compilation to shine a light on the area. It was all so amazing... until it wasn't. The ride was over almost as soon as it started. So, wha...

On this edition of the Queen Venerator Weekly Roundup, we were going to discuss some fun, bad movies, but instead we got sidetracked by fantasy football nonsense. We discuss the ups and downs of fantasy football, the massive amount of fantasy football podcasts out there, and the worst fantasy league ever conceived: The Chop Top.  --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram...

We're back again with Sean Doherty to discuss Alex de la Iglesia's 1997 film  Perdita Durango  aka  Dance with the Devil,  but we mostly use it as an excuse to discuss a bunch of other stuff. Takashi Miike, "extreme" movies, Bob Clark, Once Upon a Time in Mexico,  Ghostbusters 2...  this is definitely a show of tangents.

On this episode of the Queen Venerator Roundup, we discuss more albums from 2021, including Loraine James, Olivia Rodrigo, Aaron Dilloway & Lucrecia Dalt, and Mdou Moctar. --- Website: www.queenvenerator.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/queenvenerator/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/queenvenerator Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/queenvenerator/

On this episode, we talk to noted cultural historian/Young Lizard Gettin Money Sean Doherty about the semi-lost debut record by the Misfits,  The Static Age.  We discuss the trials and tribulations leading to the record not being released, the unfortunate place Brad first heard "Last Caress", and a LOT of other off-topic stuff. Honestly, it's mostly off-topic stuff. --- Website: www.queenvenerator...
