Monster, Monster – Army of the Night

OK, I will admit that these guys are new to me. One of my friends just recently introduced me to Powerwolf and I’m not sure how I’ve missed them for so long. I think they rate their own Nerd Metal Fridays post, what do y’all think? These guys are great excuse to go back to […]

Monster, Monster – Bark at the Moon

It’s really hard to go wrong with Ozzy’s very first music video where he channels not only The Wolfman, but Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde as well. The very 1980s-via-Hammer-Horror Victorian setting is a fun touch too. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Dream Warriors

Destroying Freddy with the power of Hair! At least, unlike most movie tie-ins, they made an effort to actually incorporate the band into the story, instead of the usual alternating of concert video and movie clips that was more usual. Do you think Patricia Arquette still cops to being in this? Introduction to the Monster, […]

Monster, Monster – Saturday Morning Cartoon Edition

How about a little Groovie Ghoulies to go with your morning bowl of Sugar-Frosted Chocolate Bombs. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Hard Rock Hallelujah

As I may have mentioned before, this video is what got me firmly and permanently hooked on Lordi (c’mon, zombie cheerleaders, what’s not to love!). An obsession that I am totally unashamed to have instilled in the nerdlings as well. The fact that this is the song with which they won Eurovision makes it even […]

Monster, Monster – The Black Widow

Where better to start our Halloween monster fest than with two legends of horror, Vincent Price meets Vincent Furnier Alice Cooper. This predates Price’s vocal appearance in Thriller by the better part of a decade and we got the bonus of actually watching him torment poor “Steven” during the TV special this was drawn from. […]

KOSMOS – EPISODE ONE UNLOCKED

As I briefly discussed here, kosmos is a 5-Part free to watch SF webseries with the twist that enough registered viewers must watch each episode to unlock the next. After a significant delay gathering enough viewers, the first episode has finally unlocked and is available now. I still think the marketing idea is brilliant, a […]

Yvonne Craig – RIP

All I can say is that there were not enough kick-ass action girls to look up to during my childhood and Yvonne Craig’s Batgirl was right up there with Lynda Carter and Pam Grier in my personal pantheon. I’ve had so much fun introducing the nerdlings to her adventures on MeTV these last few years. […]

Nerd Metal Fridays: Manowar

So this week we are throwing things back to what is pretty much the ur power metal band. With a string of bombastic tunes supporting high fantasy and Norse mythology derived lyrics, Manowar inspired an entire generation of socially-awkward young men to paint their conversion vans with bad fake Frank Frazetta murals. They certainly worked […]
