Skewered Universe Podcast

Joined by podcasting legend Patrick Walsh of ScreamQueenz Podiverse to talk about a charming and most likely grossly underseen independent film from 2022, Gatlopp: Hell of a Game.  Did we finish the game before sunrise or are we doomed to podcast for eternity in Hell?  Listen to find out.

Joined by another member of the Sickos Club family, Kurt Jangle, as we talk about Roger Corman's 1959 underrated gem, A Bucket of Blood.  As always, it was a blast getting to talk with my buddy about this movie and a little Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles per our contractual obligation. If you are on Threads, make sure to give Kurt Jangle a follow. #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast...

This episode we talk about a movie that has a reputation, but not in the way you'd think.  Joined by fellow Sickos Club member, Pippin, we sit down to talk about the 1981 follow up to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Shock Treatment!  There's so much to talk about with this movie from the early conceptualizations, casting, shooting location issues etc.  It was a blast to sit down with Pippin and I h...

We celebrate Leiann's Birthday Month in a big way by watching the movie she chose, 2018's Sorry To Bother You.  A wild, weird, fun ride of a movie with an outstanding cast.   #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movies #comedy #scifi #sorrytobotheryoumovie #sorrytobotheryou #lakeithstanfield #tessathompson #dannyglover #bootsriley #equisapiens W...

First Watch February rolls along and I am joined by my fellow Sickos Club member, Antione Raphael, as we dive into  the overall master work that is Sinners.  This was such a great movie to discuss, especially since we are in the midst of Black History Month, as it is full of historical references and opens the door for further discussions into black life, black culture, and the black experience in...

It's the finale of A Very Skewered Halloween and to wrap up this fun series we are joined by one of the hosts of The Hard Way, Brett Michelle, to talk about the Halloween episode from Season 7 of Roseanne, Skeleton in the Closet.  A fun conversation that went from the episode of Roseanne to multiple places because that's how conversations with good friends tend to be.   Make sure you go check out...

As A Very Skewered Halloween keeps on rolling & I sat down once again to talk some more Bob's Burgers Halloween episodes with my friend and fellow Sickos Club member Lisa aka misfitmess.  This recording ran long so we had to cut it in half.  Part 3 is also available now so once you finish up with this episode you can just jump into more Belcher goodness. #skewereduniversepodcast #skeweredunive...

After a 3-month hiatus we are back to talk about why we had to take the time off, what's new in our lives and what we have been watching during that time away from the mics.  We felt it would be best to ease back into recording again to this is just a casual episode just to catch up with you all and let you know that we are back.  #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horror...

As we close out the celebration of Leiann and her birthday month, she picked a little Norwegian film that is available on Netflix, 2020s Kadaver.  This was such a great way to end our Leiann's Birthday month schedule.  Such an intriguing and dark film that was a great follow up to our sexy episode 100.   #skewereduniversepodcast #skewereduniverse #podcast #horror #horrorpodcast #horrormovies #movi...

It's Episode 100 and it's also March which means Leiann takes the reigns for programming in honor of her birthday.  We decided to start off her b-day choices by watching quite possibly the sexiest thing to have ever been filmed, Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special.  Get your chilled champagne, thrown down that bear skin rug and have those chocolate covered strawberries on standby be...

First Watch February comes to a close and to celebrate the life, legacy and art of David Lynch I was joined by my friend and fellow Sickos Club member Brett Michelle to discuss 1986's Blue Velvet.  This was a lot of fun, especially since I had never seen Blue Velvet until now.  (Editor's note: apologies for the less than stellar audio this time around as we had to improvise and record over ZOOM vi...

First Watch February this year is dedicated to the life, art and memory of a true icon of filmmaking, David Lynch.  Since Leiann is in recovery from cybernetic enhancement surgery, I called in my friends from At the Devil's Ball, Nathaniel and Sammael to discuss 2001's Mulholland Dr.  This was a fun and fitting way to kick off First Watch February to honor one of the best to ever direct films. #sk...

It's time to close out January is for Giallo and to do so I needed to bring in a special guest.  I reached out to my group of fellow Sickos and Brett Michelle answered the call.  She joins me as we close out this month of black gloved mystery by talking about Mario Bava's 1964 tale of murder and fashion.... Blood and Black Lace.  This is bit of a long one and Brett and I had a lot to talk about......

It's January which means it's time once again to put on your black gloves and dive into some giallo films with us.  No Leiann this time, but I'm joined by splatterpunk horror author and fellow podcast Chuck Nasty to help me talk about a super influential film.... Mario Bava's 1971 film, A Bay of Blood.  Also known as Ecology of Crime or Chain Reaction in Italy as well as Carnage, Blood Bath, and p...

Leiann and I sat down to say goodbye to 2024 and have a casual conversation about the podcast.  We talked about some of our favorite episodes and what we have planned for the upcoming 2025 podcast schedule.  There are fireworks going off in the background for a bit thanks to living next to an amusement park, but we thought it would be a little fun since we recorded this on New Year's Eve.  There's...
