    Spring-O-Ween!!! (2023's Dark Harvest)

    Spring-O-Ween!!! (2023's Dark Harvest)

    Happy Spring-O-Ween! To celebrate this festive occasion, the show that talks about stuff on purpose is getting festive discussing 2023's Dark Harvest, director David Slade's much-delayed adaptation of the 2006 Halloween-themed novella from writer Norman Partridge! Both the film adaptation and source material are spoiled in their entirety, so fair warning!

    Dark Harvest is available to watch on Prime Video.

    Join the conversation! Tell us how you commemorate Spring-O-Ween by leaving a comment on the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE), or by sending us a long-winded email (CLICK HERE)! We're also all over social media, so check us out on Threads (CLICK) and Instagram (CLICK) and join the TRAPPO revolution!

    Thanks for listening, and long live Sawtooth Jack!

    The Merrill Strand Experience!

    The Merrill Strand Experience!

    Once upon a time, a kindly stranger sent us a lovely, well thought out email that recommended a big pile of music they wanted us to check out. Then we promptly ignored that email for months and months, not out of malice, but sheer laziness. In an effort to make amends, we made the decision to check out all of the music our dear friend Merrill wanted us to listen to, and now there's an entire episode dedicated to discussion of all that music. So get comfortable, because it's going to be a long and bumpy ride.

    Here it is, Merrill. You're welcome.

    What did you think of all the music we discussed in this veritable marathon of an episode? Tell us all about it by leaving a comment on the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) or sending us your very own email (CLICK HERE) chock full of musical recommendations that we might eventually tackle in a guilt-ridden episode! We've also got a poll on our latest post, since we couldn't come to consensus regarding a couple of Merrill's picks, so you really should visit the blog (CLICK HERE) and vote in that incredibly important poll. Don't let Merrill down, not like us!

    We're also on Instagram (CLICK) and Threads (CLICK) if you want to follow us and join TRAPPO's social media revolution. It's gonna be a bloodbath!

    Thanks for listening!

    COWBOY CARTER! (TRAPPO Sells Out!)

    COWBOY CARTER! (TRAPPO Sells Out!)

    On this very special episode of the show that talks about stuff on purpose, your hosts Dustin & Ky are discussing the latest epic release from the Queen herself, Cowboy Carter from Beyoncé! The way we figure, everybody else is already talking about it, so we might as well follow the trends for once and share our opinions on this monumental musical work of art, now that you've already heard a thousand other, more informed opinions and since moved on with your life.

    So join us as we sell out!

    Join the conversation! Tell us what you think about Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé's greater oeuvre, and why we should never talk about mainstream music again. Just CLICK HERE to visit the official TRAPPO blog and leave a dozen spiteful comments telling us that we're just embarrassing ourselves here and really need to pack it in. You could also send those thoughts in a long-winded email (CLICK HERE), which we would very much appreciate.

    Would you like to follow TRAPPO on social media? Do you want to join the revolution? Then CLICK HERE to 'gram with the TRAPS and CLICK HERE to Thread yourselves into oblivion! We're saving a seat for you down at the social media hacienda.

    Thanks for listening!

    TRAPPO's Mail Bag #29!

    TRAPPO's Mail Bag #29!

    Welcome to the 29th installment of the show that talks about you on purpose! This time around, things get a little weird as we discuss your feedback on a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to, Dorthia Cottrell's Death Folk Country, poseurs, contrarians, the horrors of seasonal depression, our dream of an official TRAPPO cook book, the importance of voting, recurring equipment failure, crippling shame, Frank Zappa controversy, and a whole bunch of other stuff that probably won't make any sense to anybody. So enjoy it!

    Would you like to join this crazy conversation? Probably not, but you're more than welcome to take part. All you have to do is visit the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) and leave some comments on the post of your choosing. Tell us what you think of the state of modern pop culture in our dying world! We'd love to know your opinions! You could also send those complicated thoughts in a long and rambling email (CLICK HERE), and we'll probably respond to you at some point in the future.

    We're also on social media, if by "social media" you mean Instagram and Threads. Come Thread with us (CLICK) or 'gram with us (CLICK) at your leisure! We'd love to bombard you with a bunch of our inane banter on a semi-regular basis, so please join us on social media! Or don't. Either way, we're cool.

    Thanks for listening!

    The Quiz That Never Ends!

    The Quiz That Never Ends!

    TRAPPO has heard you loud and clear, dear listener! You wanted another quiz, and now you've got it! Welcome to the inaugural episode of "The Quiz That Never Ends"!

    It's a quiz, but it does have an ending, so don't freak out or anything. It's only called "The Quiz That Never Ends" because it feels like it will go on forever. Join your host Dustin as he leads his contestant Ky on a journey through a battered and broken pop culture landscape in search of non-existent prizes! It's gonna be a blast!

    Join the conversation! Tell us what you thought of the latest episode, or just share potential topics for future episodes by visiting the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) and leaving a comment! If you're feeling more verbose and would like to get something off your chest, feel free to share those thoughts in a bloated email (CLICK HERE) and we'll be glad to read whatever you send us!

    TRAPPO is also on social media. Mostly Threads (CLICK) and maybe on Instagram (CLICK) from time to time, but that's pretty much it. Come to Threads and hang out with us! Follow us on Instagram if that's your kink. We don't judge. Just as long as you have a good time without hurting anybody, TRAPPO is cool with it.

    Thanks for listening!

    The Horror Trivia Quiz Episode!

    The Horror Trivia Quiz Episode!

    Hello, Horror Heads!

    This week on TRAPPO, we're trying something a little different. Ky decided out of the blue that he wanted to test Dustin's horror movie knowledge with a physical quiz he acquired somehow, so now it's an official episode of the show that talks about stuff on purpose, and that's all there is to it. So how well does Dustin do? And how much tangential rambling in between questions will there be?You'll have to listen to find out!



    Here's a cool idea, dear listener! Why don't you play along? Grab a pencil & paper and keep score, then when the quiz is over head on over to the official TRAPPO blog (CLICK HERE) and leave us a comment telling us how you fared. We'd love to know your scores. While you're there on the blog sharing your own scores, tell us other things. Do you like this whole quiz thing? Would you like us to try this out again sometime? Maybe you'd like to tell us how much you hate this particular episode and that we should never try this again. That's perfectly fine. Just tell us some stuff!



    And if you'd like to tell us more stuff than can be contained by the confines of a blog comment, you are in luck! There's this new thing we call email, perhaps you've heard of it? You can send us an email. You can send us several emails. Tell us a whole bunch of stuff in emails, friends. CLICK RIGHT HERE to do that, if it's the kind of thing you're into.



    Do you like social media? We don't! But we're out there, trying our best to convince strangers that our show is actually worth their valuable time! You can follow us there on social media if you want. CLICK HERE to visit us on Instagram, which we update regularly, or CLICK HERE to find us on Threads, where we hang out all the time and actually engage with others. So basically just come on down to Threads and chill with the TRAPS. That's where all the cool kids are, after all.



    Thanks for listening!
