Talk Without Rhythm Podcast

Join El Goro, part-time luchador and full-time cinephile, as he delves into the broad grassy spaces and massed granite tarns of cinema. Each episode, El Goro discusses two movies tied together by some kind of theme. Action, sci-fi, horror, high-brow, low-brow: it's all fair game.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm fulfilling a very special Patreon Pick. Recently, we lost Steven King - a fellow podcaster, a talented artist, a member of the TWoRP Elite, and a good friend. So, in honor of Steve, I'm joined by his Invasion of the Podcast co-host Paul and our good bud Terry of Strange Highways to fulfill Steve's final Patreon Pick: a lesser-known comic book adaptation double-feature of 1996's Vampirella and 2000's Faust: Love of the Damned.

I'm sure Steve's laughing his ass off.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast, I'm celebrating 700 episodes of TWoRP by returning to start. The Cancer Man returns, and together we're going back to 2010 - the year we began the show. We take a look at the film that won the Academy Award for Best Picture - The King's Speech - and pair it up with the highest-grossing film of the year - Toy Story 3.

Art vs Commerce. Prestige vs Populism. Children's Entertainment vs Colin Firth awkwardly saying "Fuck."

Should be a good time.

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast we have the last episode of the "classic" era of the BBC's A Ghost Story for Christmas - 1978's The Ice House. Pairing with it we have a 1979 episode of ITV's Playhouse series, Casting the Runes. It wasn't released on Christmas, but it was directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark and it was based off an M. R. James story. Close enough for me.
