We like to kick – streeeeeeetch – AND KICK we’re 50! We hit this milestone in style with the Clive Barker Adapted Candyman. A grad student Helen is writing her thesis on urban legends and comes across a story about a ghostly figure with a hook for a hand that is known only as “Candyman” A vengeful legend born of a terrible tragedy that can be summoned to kill if only you dare to say his name five times, but, these are only stories right? As Helen gets closer to the truth people start dying and she loses her grip on time and reality itself. Has she gone insane or is something far more sinister at work?

This film holds a special place in Wes’ heart and you’ll hear all about it during the episode. Also, we dive deep in to our hosts past which is apparently filled with unsolved mysteries, irrational fears and something Lydia calls the “Skat Shack.” It’s an epic double stuffed episode that is sure to leave you wanting more! Raise your glasses, kids and cheers to another 50!

Sharpen your knife and strap on your combat boots because in episode 49 of Dead Air; Wes and Lydia dish out a review of 1981’s The Prowler with military precision. In 1945 the war weary world was settling back down and men and women were returning home. What should have been a time of celebration turns to bloody murder. Now, decades later the killings start again by a man clad in WWII military gear. Special effects master Tom Savini is on full display in a movie that he considers is his best work.

Little does she know that her man is squatting in a condemned building with a strange assortment of other people from the wrong side of the tracks.

In episode 46 we get deadly serious and class the place up a little as we talk about the 1965 Roman Polanski film, Repulsion. The first in what would be dubbed the “Apartment Trilogy” which includes 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby and 1976’s The Tenant. Polanski takes us through a quiet and subtle journey through two weeks of a woman’s life. For many in Carol’s life she just seemed quiet and perhaps a little detached. They could never understand the burning psychological trouble she faced on a daily basis. A world she finds so terrifying and repulsive that she eventually feels backed in to a corner and when it comes to fight or flight, Carol decides to fight! Also Wes and Lydia bare their souls to you, the listening audience as they discuss personal issues that can make traversing everyday life a little tricky.
