Can I Pod With Madness - Kerrang, Metal Hammer and rock in the 1980s podwithmadness@gmail.com

HI BILLY! What's the one movie that gets mentioned on this podcast more than any other? Long time listeners will hardly be surprised to hear that we've recorded a Lost Boys special. Join us as we luxuriate in the sexy vampire goodness, 80s style! 
What's Kiefer Sutherland like in real life? Has Billy Wirth cast a spell over all women of a certain age? Who is the drummer in this band? Do DVDs still exist? Are there any other movies with vampires in? We'll attempt to answer all these questions, and along the way relate various stories of awkward celebrity interactions. And the usual digressions, obv.

We’re looking at the early 80s work of Genesis and immediately make an absolute booboo regarding their hit Mama - I know it wasn’t Rapper’s Delight, it was The Message by Grandmaster Flash that was the inspiration for the laughy bit! Don’t @ me! Regardless their “The Mama Tour” video is praised to high heaven despite having one of their more embarrassing tunes on it. You know, the one about aliens. No, the *other* one about aliens.
Tina Turner is live and unleashed, in an era before she was the 80s’ favourite purveyor of raunchy soft rock. Still waiting around for Private Dancer et al, she’s mostly doing cover versions. This leads us to remember Steve Coogan’s mostly forgotten comedy character, Tony Ferrino.
We delve into the oeuvre of Thor, Norse god of thunder and, apparently, rock. Wendy O. Williams has been doing stuff with KISS, Manowar has been doing stuff with Orson Welles and Kate Bush gets an interview. Tune in to find out which is her favourite season! This is still Kerrang we’re talking about, by the way! 
Along the way we’ll talk robots, graphic design, Eminem, Lenny Kravitz (yet again) and Eamon Holmes. Er... rock and roll...?

What’s Phil Collins’ favourite chocolate? It’s not a gag, we actually want to know. Regardless of the famous tub thumper’s preferred sweet treat, he’s the star of Kerrang’s most bonkers cover ever. We’re looking at a really really OLD magazine this week, so there’s news on Status Quo splitting up shocker - especially shocking since they carried on for about 40 years after this.
Also in this ish: Spider with their particular peculiar brand of rock and roll and Rock Goddess, on tour of various s****y hotels around the country.
Kommunication features a mysterious Whitesnake anecdote, and a letter from someone who thinks Kerrang should only cover Pink Floyd and The Doors.
There’s a lovely story about Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue which doesn’t involve ants, and we discuss the lasting legacy of Risky Business. Also what’s a Wurlitzer (again)?
More AMAZING reader mail from our Kontaktz! Our Tenacious D live review! Podcast news! Toys R Us News!
What’s your fave 1984 hit? And why is it Jump?

It's Q, so by law there has to be a feature about U2, but it's U2 in their postmodern, post-earnest, post black and white phase. We discuss the best song they ever did- see if you can guess which it is, considering we also talk about Batman Forever on this one. 
Also featured is Prince so we investigate further his collaboration with Kate Bush and discover something that presumably everyone else knew since The Red Shoes came out. Also fun fact, we reveal which of Prince’s entourage appeared in Buffy and how much we spent on a VHS box set of Season 5.
Faith No More, W.A.S.P, Napalm Death and Marillion all get reviews, so we're still keeping one foot in the hard rock universe. We remember Peachfuzz the friendly wolf and The Breakfast Club.

Once again we’re taking a break from the parallel universe of 80s metal, and delving into Q, The Modern Guide To Music and More, from 1992, so we’re on the back foot straight away as everything is spelled correctly. There’s news about Prince and Craig McLachlan, and ABBA are back, back, back etc. This leads us to talk about the brilliance of Erasure, and tribute bands.
Along the way we’re talking Mel B / G / Scary Spice, a surprising revelation about Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead, and the continuing subplot of a Billy Wirth obsession. We also shout out our friends over at the Dystopian Dance Party podcast @Dystopiangram who are basically a better version of us. 
Is Metallica’s Kirk Hammett an Inspector Gadget fan? Why aren’t Americans charmed by a Gloucestershire accent? What’s the definitive version of Rocket Man? All this and much much more in PWM33.

Back with our faces in Kerrang Kontaktz, we finally get to some Korrespondences with real live Kerrang readers from back in the day. In addition we tackle Kontroversies such as rap metal krossover, whether 80s Sabbath are any cop, and is Satan as much of a laugh as he claims. 
Along the way we look at psychedelic jazz blues prog trio Show of Hands, American Horror Story, KISS NEWS, and probably something about The Lost Boys and Disney, as usual.
