Satan is my Superhero

In this episode we look at how an evil 1st century apocalyptic blood cult that secretly and not so secretly controls much of our lives with its over represented influence on media and politics is terrified of Disney.    After the spooky month we’ve had it's time for a fun family friendly palate cleanser.    If you look for lists of Disney witches you will find there is somewhere in the region...

In this episode we return to a former subject of this podcast, Cotton Mather and tear another chapter from his life story. We first met Cotton in the episode, A Pox to You, where Cotton was the voice of reason, the man of science who stood up to superstitious misgivings and disinformation. He was, not to put too finer point on it, the hero of that story. So how does our man of science and reasonin...

In this true crime special episode we delve into the sickening tale of one of the U.K’s most successful serial killers, Matthew Hopkins the self-proclaimed Witchfinder General. Between 1644 and 1646 Hopkins may have murdered as many as three hundred people under the guise of doing the lord’s work. Hopkins is a fascinating individual and hundreds of historians have written thousands of pages about...

  In this episode we will finally get to the WITCHES of Shakespeare’s Macbeth! Because of course, let us not forget it is our Spooky Month Special! The witches are in fact the very first characters to appear onstage. Act 1, Scene 1, A Desert Place. The trio speak in a different rhythm to everyone else in the play. This allows their vocal performance to sell their otherworldliness. Described by Sha...

In this episode we dig around in the garage to find the plastic storage tub filled with Halloween decorations and cover the house in them for the next 31 day of our Spooky month special. It’s witches bitches! That's right for the next 5 Tuesdays in a row we will be delving into the wicked world of witchcraft. We kick spooky month off as we mean to go on and dive right into the witches of Shak...

In this episode we examine chapter one of the Book of Revelations! The antichrist, conspiracy theorists, heavy metal, zombie movies, evangelicals, all my favourite things have been influenced by this book. And it has a half-naked sexually liberated temptress riding a dragon!  Did you know you are blessed just to read it or hear it read? Did you now this book is a cornerstone of conspiracy theories...

The Book of Revelations series starts here, with a deep dive into the New Testament’s most metal, chaotic and downright ridiculous final chapter. If you want to understand why this apocalyptic prophecy reads more like a Lovecraftian hallucination than holy scripture, this highly rated episode is your perfect entry point. Join us as we skip past the first 65 books of the christian bible and go stra...

In this episode we warm up the speculum with our breath, give the old forceps a wipe with our handkerchief and insert the internal ultrasound wand right up the birth canal to study the embryonic beginnings of heavy metal in the womb. The debut self-titled 1970 album, Black Sabbath, by the band Black Sabbath, featuring the number one song on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of Al...

In this episode we close our eyes and slip into a hellish dream scape of our deepest darkest fears and hope we don’t lose our minds on a sea of madness while we examine where the depraved imagination of H.P. Lovecraft crosses paths with our favourite superhero and how the writings of this science fiction horror writer is being drawn upon by the occult. Featuring cameos from Kerry Bolton, Kenneth G...

In this episode we dive into the story behind the debut album by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal’s Schizoid Sons of Satan themselves Venom.  ‘…a band that was heavier and more over the top than anything anyone had ever seen or heard before, more Satanic than Black Sabbath, louder than Motörhead, with a pyrotechnic show to rival Kiss, and with even more leather and studs than Judas Priest, the...

In this episode we conclude our ride along the information superhighway, quickly approaching the destination of digital demons that is artificial intelligence and examine what concerns are raised by the most fundamentally flawed among us.  With guest appearances from Leo Lyon Zagami, Leo Young, Anne Cumming, David Icke, Alex Jones, Donald Trump, Andrew Torba, Chat GPT and Kevin Roose. Sauces   htt...

In this episode we stand on the precipice staring into a potential abyss of an apocalypse caused by artificial intelligence and wonder if the abyss is staring back. Thankfully some of the world's greatest minds have thought very seriously about this question. Along with the clever people, Chri$tians have also weighed in with their opinions. So that's nice. This topic should inspire us to...

In this episode we look for some kindness, compassion, understanding, consideration, gentleness, respect, tenderness, and sympathy for the Devil as we dive into the recording and legacy of this song by The Rolling Stones.   Featuring appearances from Mikhail Bulgakov, Pontius Pilate, Judas Iscariot, Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful, Charles Baudelaire, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, JFK, Robert F Kenned...

In this episode we sink once again into the disgusting cesspool of corruption and abuse that is Prosperity Gospel. Our conduit into the effluent pipe straight to hell this time is the perpetually persistently pernicious perfidious perennial perpetrator and peddler of pestiferous peccadilloes on a path to perdition, Benny Hinn. Unlike all the other pieces of poo, I mean Prosperity Preacher’s we’ve...

In this episode we will raise our fist in the air and shout at the devil.  The year is 1983 and Mötley Crüe are creating a legend around themselves as the very worst of rock n roll’s bad boys. They’ve been thrown off a Kiss tour for bad behaviour. According to legend, they’ve upset AC/DC and Van Halen so much on tour they have to be locked in a trailer and that trailer is then elevated metres off...

In this episode we return to a topic we’ve briefly touched on in previous shows. But this time it’s personal. I know what you’re wondering. How could an Asian video game involving monsters, magic and mythology upset people with a Chri$tian world view? Well, it’s Asian, involves monsters, magic and you get where this is going. Phil Arms, Satoshi Tajiri, Pastor Brett Peterson from the incredibly cre...

In this episode we will get to the bottom and then we’ll go back up to the top of the slide that is Helter Skelter by the Beatles with cameos from Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Charles Manson, Patricia Krenwinkel, Tex Watson, Vincent Bugliosi, Norwich Cathedral, Bishop Gavin Ashenden, Rochester Cathedral and Manchester Cathedral.   Sauces https://aucklandtheology.wordpress.com/tag/helter-skelter/ h...

In this episode we celebrate the reason for the season. That season being Easter. This holiday shouldn’t just be a celebration of that time Jesus impregnated a bunny rabbit with chocolate eggs. We should also remember the belligerent bewitching beguiling bewildering bedevilling bedazzling befuddling bemuddling besmirching belittling beastly betrayer who invented the holiday in the first place, Jud...

In this episode we’re going down to the cross road, fall to our knees, beg for mercy please and sell our soul for musical greatness. We investigate Robert Johnson’s ‘Cross Road Blues’ and attempt to sort through, fact, fiction, myth and legend. Is it Blues’ the haunting tale of a Faustian contract or the harrowing reality of an African American man’s experience in the Deep South? We also discuss R...

In this episode we will look back through the year of our lord 2022 and see where a fiendish fictional figment of fantasy fashioned from foolish fancy and forgery by flagrant fraudsters and philandering fakers falsely baring witness thousands of years ago has touched Swedish singer songwriter Anna von Hausswolff, Scottsdale Arizona, Will Smith, Chris Rock, Denzel Washington, Vladimir Putin, Trump’...

In this episode we take a trip down the blasphemous heretical road to Golgotha that is, Monty Python’s Life of Brian. We will scour the scourge of screaming scathing scornful scandals aimed at scuttling the most scrumptiously scurrilously scatological sacrilegious scrutiny of scripture ever scribbled by scruffy scriptwriters when it scorched across screens in 1979.  Sauces  Always Look on the Brig...

In part 2 of our Joel Osteen saga we investigate the rise and rise of Prosperity Theology’s most successful blasphemer, purveyor of the cotton candy gospel, the shinier than shiny, smiling preacher. Where we left the last episode Joel’s father John, while lying on his deathbed asked Joel to take over the 8000 seat Lakewood Church and burgeoning television ministry.  We will see how the handover fr...
