S02E01 Vampiro: Warrior of the Night (1993) #211
A wrestler, a madman with a super-powered rubber glove, and a space princess with an Ewok sidekick walk into a neon-lit fever dream. What do they find? Chubby motorcycle luchadores, bald men with ponytails, and an El Santo movie tailor-made for the early ’90s.
This week, CDR beams with national pride as pleather-clad Canadian hero Vampiro sinks his fangs into the role he was genetically engineered to play: himself!
Plus:
– Battle of the Bands
– Listener feedback

MM#210 Evil Toons (1992)
We’ve name-dropped him dozens of times… and yet this is our first actual Fred Olen Ray episode?! Unbelievable, but true. Carlo stays up way past his bedtime to tell us all about Evil Toons (1992)—a movie full of unkept promises. It definitely does have a haunted book, Monique Gabrielle, and 45 seconds of a bad scary wolf that’s animated though!
Plus: Gary Coleman news, Heather rearranging magnets on her fridge in an effort to not lose her mind, what we’ve been watching, and so much more!

MM#209 Traveling to Olympia (2001)
Too much gay crashed Matt’s hard drive (yes, another one!), and so our final 2025 Pride episode is dropping on the 4th of July. Fitting, because what’s more American than repressed senators dating twink heirs to a popcorn fortune?
Just like this week's movie: Traveling to Olympia (2001), a queer shot-on-video headscratcher set in the Pacific Northwest—the Wakanda for Gays, apparently. We follow Johnny, a traumatized twink with a duffel bag and one facial expression, as he washes dishes, processes trauma, and parties at gay cowboy bars—with beautiful musical interludes from the PNW greatest crooners. This is a weird one!

MM#208 Suroh: Alien Hitchhiker (1996)
Happy Pride! We get probed by Suroh: Alien Hitchhiker (1996)—the queer, trippy, E.T. sci-fi oddity about interdimensional lust, alien contact, and sexual awakening in the Arizona desert.
Plus: A gay Battle of the Bands, Auntie Boy (!), orgone energy, what we’ve been watching, and more!
