This episode should have been to you a week ago, but due to working people problems that you probably don’t want to hear about, it got delayed.

Grind Pulp Podcast Episode 05 - Herbie Melon and the Spires of Doom

Andrew Crevier, James Malone, Jeronimo Brown — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:30:00 +0000

Grind Pulp Podcast – Episode 05 – Herbie Melon and the Spires of Doom

James Malone made it back to the show after safely returning from Ecuador, where he spent the past several weeks on an intense spelunking and guano collecting expedition.

In this episode Andrew, James and Jeronimo discuss three intriguing short stories.

Stories:

1. “Dilapidated Islands” by Jonathan Woods in Bad Juju and Other Tales of Madness and Mayhem

2. “Grocery List” by Tom Pitts, featured in Crimefactory Issue #13

3. “Blood for the Vampire Dead” by Robert Leslie Bellum featured in The Pulp Fiction MegaPack: 25 Classic Pulp Stories

James gives his thoughts on the short story, “Bad Juju” and discusses the main character, who reminds him of the stunning and sexy Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) on USA Network’s “Burn Notice.”

Movies:

Scanners – 1981 – David Cronenberg

The Brotherhood of the Wolf – 2001 – Christophe Gans

The Raid Redemption – 2011 – Gareth Evans

In addition, Geronimo gives his lackluster feelings towards the recent “Superman: Man of Steel” release, and Andrew announces an upcoming format change.

Supplemental Info:

The character from “Grocery Run” reminded Jeronimo of the main character from Chad Kultgen’s novels: The Average American Male and The Average American Marriage.

Watching the fight scenes from The Raid: Redemption reminded him of The Protector starring Tony Jaa. Go to YouTube and check out this clip from the stairway fight scene for a taste of that movie’s awesomeness.

And for conspiracy theorist types check out these articles on supposed U.S. Military involvement in psychic phenomena with Project Stargate and Pentagon Witches. Crazy shit that might actually be true.

Grind Pulp Podcast Episode 04 - Nazis!

Andrew Crevier, James Malone, Jeronimo Brown — Fri, 21 Jun 2013 02:53:00 +0000

In this episode Andrew and Jeronimo discuss three short stories and three movies. James was ill disposed, out on a death defying adventure. Andrew sits back and lets Jeronimo delve deep into his overly critical rant on Inglorious Basterds, a fine movie you should all check out if you haven’t already.

Luckily Jeronimo isn’t around to counter that statement. I don’t have time to send these show notes his way for any sort of team consensus. - Andrew

Short Stories:

1. Topless Vampire Bitches of the SS (in Pulp Ink 2) – Christopher Black

2. The Brown Bomber and the Nazi Werewolves of the SS (in Curse of the Full Moon) – Matt Vene

Grind Pulp Podcast Episode 03 - Slap Yo Mama

Andrew Crevier, James Malone, Jeronimo Brown — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:16:59 +0000

Don’t slap your mamma, but do listen to our third episode of the Grind Pulp Podcast. Anything goes in this episode as we discuss three short stories and three very different films.

Stories:

1. A Good Day to Die (from Blood and Tacos #4) by Brad Mengel

2. Tassels of Terror a Bubba the Monster Hunter Short Story by John Hartness

3. Shelter (from Zombie Pulp) by Tim Curran

Movies:

1. The Car (1977)

2. Ninja Scroll (1993)

3. John Dies at the End (2012)

Andrew revisits his feelings toward the Better Off Undead podcast. Apparently Johnny B Truant doesn’t care for John Carpenter films. What???

James explores his unbridled love of all the movies he grew up with, a passion that led him to recommend Time Rider and The Car.

Jeronimo waxes poetic on the use of comic relief in horror stories. A redneck monster hunter, dimwitted strippers, beer, and a werewolf weren’t enough to make him giggle? He’s not laughing. He needs a hug.

Grind Pulp Podcast Episode 01 - Introducing Grind Pulp / Shotguns and Hand Grenades

Andrew Crevier, James Malone, Jeronimo Brown — Thu, 30 May 2013 11:18:00 +0000

Welcome to the first Grind Pulp Podcast. If you're a first time listener, we highly reccomend that you don't start with this episode. It took us about 4-5 episodes to get the feel for things. From there, we have gotten even more acclimated to wild world of podcasting. Episode 13 is where we picked up Manga Matt. James Malone's final appearance in our first year was on Episode 11 - Ghoulies Gone Wild.

We'd like you to start at around Episode 5 or 6 and listen as our production becomes better up through our current output. After that, come back to see how it all started.

For those who insist on beginning here, we'll forgive you, but remember that we had no idea what we were doing.

Fast forward a year and you'll find that we are still learning and honing and working to improve Grind Pulp Podcast. Thanks!
