Speakeasily vs. the '80s Podcast

Speakeasily Vs The 80s is a rip-roaring trip down the drain of '80s trash cinema with special guests from the live performance, podcast, and film worlds. Both Speakeasily Vs. The '80s and The Speakeasily Hour Minute Podcast are audio shows of ill-repute that grew out of the Speakeasily comedy collective. Morphing from a live Bay Area burlesque show into a web-based video burlesque talk show into a sketch comedy thrupple, the hydra-headed Speakeasily now provides comedy podcasts for your listening pleasure. Speakeasily's comedy sketches and podcasts stretch the boundaries between surreal and shtick, intellectual and gross-out, counterculture and trash culture.

    The Speakeasily gang is back to resurrect another camp classic with schlockmeister director Frank Henenlotter's 1990 master-piece, FRANKENHOOKER! Is this a gritty update to the Frankenstein mythos or a po-mo feminist manifesto? Is any of us more than the sum total of our parts? WANNA DATE?!

    Mannequin (1987)

    Speakeasily vs. the ‘80s returns to your $hitterverse after having left you alone for way too long and for no good reason! We're back, baby, and we're here to talk about Michael Gottlieb's Mannequin (1987) with our guest, performance artist Annalyn Bond. There comes a time in every boy's life when he falls in love with his own fiberglass creation, and we guess that's what this movie is about. But really, we're just here for Hollywood because he's one BAD GIRL. More Speakeasily vs. the '80s on our Facespace group, Libsyn, Instaham ... oh, and there's merch too.

    Speakeasily Vs. The ‘80s: Return of the Living Dead (1985)

    Speakeasily Vs. The ‘80s welcomes Joe Donohoe (writer, nurse, former taxi driver, and publisher of Specious Species magazine) for a BRAINZ-fueled discussion of Dan O’Bannon’s game-changing zombie punk hit, Return of the Living Dead. With its goth punk soundtrack that’s all killer no filler and a tomb-strippin’ Linnea Quigley, this is a modern horror classic we dig to no end. Where Rasputin’s preserved member, Doctor Manhattan’s bouncing dong, and Bananabots fit in, is up to you to decide.   Joe Donohoe: http://speciousspecies.net/   More Speakeasily: speakeasily.tv https://www.teepublic.com/user/speakeasily youtube.com/user/OdessaLil facebook.com/speakeasilyshow instagram.com/audrawolfmann
