Status Alternative

I have returned!!! We got a new format, a new episode, and a new attitude! No boring, long-winded episodes. Just straight fun and oddball content. I talk about why I went on hiatus, and we get spooky. I talk about Bram Stoker's most well-known work, Dracula!!! I give my quick thoughts and talk about how funny I found Jonathan Harker's struggle.

On today's episode, Naomi and I discuss the quasi-remake/reboot of 1981's The Evil Dead, Evil Dead from 2013. We also share our thoughts on the sequel that premiered in April 2023. In my opinion, both movies are equally terrifying and gory and wonderfully written while also doing the original trilogy justice; this was a fun watch.

Hello! On today's episode, I bring you four new bands to recommend; on this episode, I will do something a little different. I talk about Meet Me @ The Altar, Hot Mulligan, Magnolia Park, and Belmont in this episode.

Hello, all you wonderful people. I must say, this is slowly becoming one of my favorite things to do. I love recommending bands to you all. This week's episode will discuss In Search of Solace, thrown, and Blood Youth. I did cover Blood Youth before, but the audio was corrupted, so that I will discuss them again. Since that initial episode, a lot has happened with the band, so tune in and reme...

Hello everyone, on today's episode, I will give my thoughts on the 2018 British spy thriller Killing Eve based on the Villanelle novel series created by Luke Jennings. In it, I talk about what I liked and didn't like about the show. Enjoy and remember, stay alternative!

Welcome back to another episode! I have a special episode for all of you; Andy Brewer from The Rating Room podcast is joining me from the UK. Andy is on today to discuss how he got into pro wrestling.

She returned to the podcast to join me in discussing two movies. The 2022 comedy horror The Menu and the 2019 satirical black comedy horror film Velvet Buzzsaw.

Hi everyone, I know it's been a minute, but I wanted to put out a bonus episode for everyone waiting for new episodes. Enjoy the show on Sunday, and remember to STAY ALTERNATIVE!!!

Last year, there was a manga that captivated many anime/manga fans like myself. That series was called SPY X FAMILY. Do this series ask what happens when a telepath, a spy, and an assassin pretending to be a family to save their country from war? Meet the Forgers! Loid, Anya, and Yor Forger stole our hearts with their unique family dynamic. From going to the zoo to adopting a dog to stopping assas...

I am back with another set of new bands to recommend. This time, the bands are Queen Kona, Autumn Lies Buried, and Echostone. These bands are all very different, with unique sounds, so check them out and remember to stay alternative. P.S. I apologize for mispronouncing Echostone's name throughout the whole episode. Sorry gentlemen! Check out their new song dropping on April 10th!!! Queen Kona-...

Is it safe to say that we are all familiar with Dragon Ball Z? Well, for those unaware, there was a series before Dragon Ball Z called Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball tells the story of Goku at the age of 12 when he was living alone in the woods fending for himself when he meets Bulma, who is on the hunt for seven mystic Dragon Balls that grant whatever a person wishes. Along the way, they meet and come...

Coming at you with another "How I Got Into..." episode! This time I talk about Deathcore. I know this sounds scary and bit intimidating, but I assure you this one was fun. In this episode, I do a bit of a call back to my previous episode, how I stumbled upon this genre, and talk about the bands I have gotten into as I explored this genre. 

I've wanted to talk about this one since I was in college! Right at the age of 19-20, I got big into everything, Grunge. I am one of those fans who, if I get into something, I'll do anything I can to learn more about it. For me, that was me getting into grunge music. Grunge was a term to describe the alternative rock sound that started in the mid-1980s and rose to prominence in the early 90s. Four...

You are probably asking yourself what the term wrestling soulmate means. The term comes from a Sportskeeda article I came across: "... are two opposing performers/teams who will forever be tied to one another, no matter the trajectory of their careers." Two wrestlers you know will always have a good match, no matter the circumstances. Some examples I discuss in this episode are Sasha Banks vs. Bay...

This is one I am excited to cover. Dazed and Confused is one of my favorite 90s movies. This cult classic tells the story of a couple of teenagers on their last day of school in Austin, Texas, in the year 1976. Filled with a lot of familiar actors and actresses, the good times roll, and the partying never ceases. Stay Alternative!

In this episode, I talk about some of my favorite pro wrestling theme songs over the past 17 years. I also discuss how some of these themes contributed to my getting into heavier music. Get some paper and pencil, and let's reminisce about alternative metal and rap. Stay Alternative!

In this episode, I wrap up the Into the Dark series with season 2. Did this season do better than the 1st? Or did they fail to land? Tune in, relax and remember, Stay Alternative!

I have a special bonus episode for you all. I interviewed Randy Stone from Altruist Comics. He is a lifelong comic book fan and he came on my podcast to talk about his latest Kickstarter project Bullet Adventures. Go check out it out and his other projects and remember to stay alternative!  Kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/altruistcomics/bulletadventures2?ref=riiyqu Website: alt...

Do you love horror anthologies as I do? What if they were based on holidays? You've come to the right place. I'm discussing the Hulu series Into the Dark, brought by the famed horror production company Blumhouse. I talk about my favorite episodes and my least favorite and talk about the episodes and the holidays they represent. Also, check out The Rating Room on Twitter, @theratingroom, and Briann...

Back in 2008, an action movie came out, and it had assassins who could bend bullets... and it was terrific. I'm talking about the 2008 film Wanted, starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman. The plot is about an office worker named Welsey Gibson who later finds out that his father is an assassin and was murdered, so he joins up with the group his father worked for called the Frater...

Back for Vol 5 with four new bands, Be prepared; I say the word "solid" a lot in this episode. But how can I not? There are a lot of cool bands in this episode, and I discovered them through TikTok and Facebook. The bands in question are Shallow Truths; Her Name is Karma, Denihilist, and Our Hollow, Our Home. You can find their music on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music. They can also be found on...

Finally back after my hiatus. I want to thank everyone who was patience while I was getting refocused. In this episode, I talk about Independent Wrestling. I discuss how I got into it and some of my favorite promotions. Enjoy and remember to stay alternative!
