    "The Devil is dope" - The Dramatics

    Beyond the darkest depths of imagination, the outer rim of human experience, the forbidden rites thought forgotten, rediscovered. The annual tradition of the Halloween mix corrupted, made sinister, clawed loose from the crypt and into the stark sunlight of reality. Italian soundtracks to 1930's jazz to darkwave to stoner metal to house to folk to garage psychedelia and beyond. Remember: when you look Satan in the face, he looks back at you, with one eye open and one eye closed.

    ----------
    Whether it's a complicated layered confession from the man who introduced blockbuster filmmaking into the water supply, turning his fellow New Hollywood icons into endangered species or just the best monster movie of the 90s, Jurassic Park (1993) is a beloved institution that will never go away, that children around the world will never stop enjoying, that will never stop influencing the world of populist popcorn cinema.
    So why does everyone seem to get it wrong? To dig into the minutae of what makes this highly sophisticated machine tick and also just reminisce about being kids in the 90's when this came out, Patrick Ripoll and Regina Linn hold onto their butts and ask the big questions like:
    Is this movie actually a good demonstration of chaos theory? How does Alan Grant know how to do a Brachiosaurus call? And just how many f****d up space drugs was ET using? 
    All that and more on the most recent episode of Tracks of the Damned!

    S.2 E.11 - The Devil Commands (1941)

    The climax of the career of the greatest horror star of all time and also a miserable failure critically and commercially, The Devil Commands was the product of a hungry up and coming director, Edward Dmytryk, being paired with material best described as "Lovecraftian" decades before that word meant anything to anybody. In this episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, host Patrick Ripoll tackles the second horror boom of the 40s and asks the big questions like: is that matte painting haunted?

    Bonus - Hostel: Part Two (2007) feat. Gabe Powers of Genre Grinder

    The year was 2007, we were all drinking Four Loko, playing Super Mario Galaxy, listening to MIA's "Paper Planes" and taking to our Livejournals and message boards to argue about "torture porn" films. Were they pumped up cinema sadism designed to please craven adolescent creeps? Or angry political works calling back to horror's glory days of the 70's?
     
    The better question was, perhaps, were they torture porn at all? To answer all that and more on the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast, Patrick recruited Gabe Powers of Genre Grinder to take a look at Hostel: Part Two (2007), the ambitious and oft-ignored follow up to Eli Roth's breakthrough film. We get into the influence of Tarantino, the history of Elizabeth Bathory in horror films, it's connections to Italian genre films and how Eli Roth made up for certain short-comings as a writer with one particularly brilliant piece of casting. Let's go!

    S.2 E.10 - Friday the 13th (1980)

    In a world full of rip-off artists the key is how you rip something off. Sean S. Cunningham, the director of two separate Bad News Bears knockoffs, was not the first guy to go "Hey, this Halloween movie is real popular and seems cheap to make" but he was the guy who did it the exact right way at the exact right time to change the world of horror forever.
    On the latest episode of Tracks of the Damned Patrick finally returns to the one that started it all (the uncut version!) and talks about why critics despised it, why it was so successful and just what kind of winding road one takes from pornography to deep sea sci-fi movies.

I Hope This Show Comes Back

Full disclosure: Patrick and I are friends going back to the CHUD message boards.

I know the show's future is uncertain at this point, but I'm choosing to remain hopeful. I think Patrick was at his best talking about these films, and the enthusiasm was infectious. I hadn't considered myself a horror fan for a long time and this show brought my love back.

Patrick knows movies! This show is pure joy

Only one episode in and I'm already hooked. From his appearences on other shows, you'll glean that Patrick is a true blue movie fan. He cares about the art form and communicates his passion in ways that will inspire you to learn more. Episode 1 is just the beginning -- the commentary is terrific, and I imagine all future episodes will be every bit as good. So excited to have subscribed, and you'll be glad you did too.
