Splattercast #139

Splattercast #139 is up. Hit the feeds or get the mp3 direct.

Don’t rape! That’s the moral lesson we’re trying to impart on this episode of the Splattercast. Along with special guest Rachel from ZombieGrrlz.com, we look at the rape-revenge subgenre that was popularized in the 1970s. We, of course, treat the subject with the appropriate level of maturity and intellectual seriousness.

    Glad I’m not alone on that one, Borp. It’s not that I “like” it, it’s just that you can’t get a much more textbook example of the subgenre.

    [...] As expected Jeff was a fan, Mat was intellectual, with an impressively comprehensive knowledge of all things rape/revenge, Steve was roused from apathy just long enough to be disgusted, Deejay was inappropriate (and drunk) and T.J. … well… just listen for yourself. [...]

    I had really high hopes for this podcast and if this is atypical of the quality of your podcast then I must have started with the wrong one. It sounded like a group of twelve year olds discussing rape. If you are going to make fun of rape at least make a good moral point at the end of it.

    Deejay, I hope you were really drunk if not you are a complete baffoon, and impossible to listen to. I will not be back.

    Sorry you didn’t care for this episode, Darion. I admit that I myself am not quite sure what to think of it :P

    If you do see fit to give us another try, you might check out Episode #136, which I think was one of our most well-received episodes ever.

    Thanks for giving us a shot, anyway.
