This Week on Traumatic Cinematic (6-24-13) w/ Heroine Diandra Lazor

On this road to Days of the Dead we picked up a beautiful hitchhiker who hasn’t slept in days. The insomniac heroine Diandra Lazor sits in with the Traumatic Trio and shares a bright light of goodness into the stiff mustiness that hangs within the Traumatic Cinematic studio. As the leader of Heroes Within Us Diandra has put together a good guy food drive (Heroes vs. Hunger) taking place at their table at the Indy DOTD event. Bring a can of corn or bucket of brains, I am sure they will some someone interested.
Also on This Week hear about the newest additions to Days of the Dead like Danny Trejo, Thing Fest has gotten bigger, and a very special alien that I imagine will rub his wang all over everything. Also you will hear witty banter and silly shenanigans being planned as the Traumatic Trio gets wound up in anticipation of the event.
Check out this page and you will have a slew of choices to explore Diandra.
Don’t forget to check out the many looks of Diandra Lazor on Facebook and on Twitter@DiandraonElmSt
And check out and support their cause Heroes Within Us and their awesome Heroes Vs. Hunger campain.

In honor of everyone’s eternal love for the first two Superman movies, I joined AYTIWS theme song writer and friend to all sentient life Jon Cross in his After Movie Diner to discuss these seminal examples of the superhero sub-genre. We owe them more than we can ever say, so consider this yet another way of paying it forward…apart from my own reviews on the subjects, of course.

Traumatic Cinematic Show: Ep. 72: The Thing (w/ Chris Blair)
“Lingering odors of machine oil contrasted sharply with the taint of harness dressing and leather. Yet, somehow, through all that reek of human beings and their associates – dogs, machines and cooking – came another taint. It was a queer, neck-ruffling thing, a faintest suggestion of an odor alien among the smells of industry and life. And it was a lifesmell. But it came from the thing that lay bound with cord and tarpaulin on the table, dripping slowly, methodically onto the heavy planks, dank and gaunt under the unshielded glare of the electric light.”
With these words, John W. Campbell began a story that would chill spines and inspire movies long after his death: Who Goes There? A story of scientists trapped in Antarctica, facing all the hostile ravages of nature and the with a shape-shifting alien monster they foolishly freed from the ice. Filmed in 1951 as The Thing from Another World, the story reached even more once- and future horror fans, including a young man named John Carpenter, who’d go on to redefine what “horror” meant to American moviegoers in the late 70s. Hot off the success of Halloween and Escape from New York, Carpenter uped stakes to British Columbia (taking Escape from New York’s star, Kurt Russell, and future They Live star Keith David with him) to film the coldest damn sci-fi movie of Summer, 1982. (To this day the opening shots of glacial mountains are enough to freeze all but the hottest naughty bits.) Despised by critics and ignored by fans during its initial release, The Thing became one of the first films to find a second life on home video once VCR’s grew cheap enough for standard-issue humans to afford. Can the Traumatic Cinematic Crew find fault with a film that scarred the bejesus out of all three of us as a child? Or is this cult classic classic enough to pass even our hot-wire tests?
You can (and should) find Chris (@Suicidal812) Blair at his Facebook page and on Twitter @Suicidal812. Also check out Monsters Among You group! Don’t forget that you can MEET Chris and US at Days of the Dead Indianapolis July 5-7 2013. Also check out the THIS WEEK on Traumatic Cinematic show Chris did with us a few weeks ago.

This Week on Traumatic Cinematic w/ Haunter Nick Tyson
Seven days have passed and here we are once again offering you an update of pop culture of the last week. In this episode the Traumatic Trio continued their trek down the Road to Days of the Dead and have invited a haunter and costumer Nick Tyson to walk a couple of miles in their shit kickers. Tune in a find out what the NSA has been listening to, what DeMoss hates this week, and if Wickliff saved any lives. You too could be the next monster scaring children into the arms of religion and I believe Nick has helped show us the way.

It has been an amazing week for The Traumatic Cinematic Show. We have given away a box of t-shirts to fans that interact with us (Our Facebook Group, Page, and Twitter) and had two winners of the contests we have hidden deep within special secrete shows. So far Corey Miller from3WizemanProductions and Tony Troxell @IndianaGeeking. Hopefully these two gentlemen will be sending us some pictures of them wearing their prizes (AND NOTHING ELSE!) There are still some golden tickets out there folks. They could be in old episodes, they could be in current episodes, one could be in today’s episode?!

The Traumatic Cinematic Show: Ep. 71: Cemetery Man
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
Are you sick of American comic books and the movies they inspire? Do you despise armies of sanctimonious do-gooders in armored tights? Do you long to read comics about self-obsessed death-mongers and their never-ending battles with the undead? Well…you’re probably already reading The Walking Dead. But just in case you aren’t, you should be reading Italian comics, especially the work of journalist, novelist, and Dylan Dog creator Tiziano Sclavi. If you’d like to know more, watch Cemetery Man, the 1994 zombie dramedy, starring Rupert Everett (whom we last saw as a minor character in Stardust and whom you probably know as the voice of Prince Charming in Shrek 2). With production money from three countries and actors from two more (at least), this obscure, surrealist horror film survived delays, cost-overruns, baffled American distributors, and its own crappy ad campaign to become a home video cult classic. Join the Traumatic Cinematic crew as we perform another postmortem, dig our hands deep into this film’s putrid guts and see if we can determine cause of cult success.

If you find yourself in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, between July 5 and July 7, the Traumatic Cinematic crew and I will be attending the Days of the Dead convention at the Wyndham Indianapolis West hotel. Come for the stars – including Haruo “original Godzilla” Nakajima, Keith David, Tony Todd, Linda Blair, both Buseys (Gary and Jake) Bill Moseley and the entire cast of the Blair Witch Project. Stay for the fans and their shenanigans, which are always inevitably more interesting anyway. My colleagues and I will be touring the floor, having the best damn time three sober dudes can have in a convention center full of other nerds….Well…okay…two sober dudes. I, for one, plan to make this a full-on experiment in Gonzo Journalism. So fear not: even if you can’t make it, you will reap an entertaining whirlwind once I write the experience up. Hell, I might even bring The Camera.
For those interested in joining us and the attendant fray, convention information lives here
