DANZIG DREAMS IN QUARANTINE: VEROTIKA W/GUEST AARON COOPER
Apr 05, 2020
Show notes
The quarantine has ruined our brains. As if they weren't terrible to start. This episode focuses on Danzig (yes, THE Danzig) and his debut feature film, Verotika! A hard rocking, hard drinking, hard stinking exploration of his nigh forgotten comic book series from the 90's. Thankfully we have a guest, Aaron Cooper (@aarxn82), a certified Danzig expert who can help us navigate this twisted night of ASTRO ZOMBIES and SKULLS. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Is Verotika a "good bad" movie? Is it the "The Room" of horror movies? FIND OUT WITHIN. In addition, find out to how we theorize how Danzig would do in the NBA and what classic games we're watching to stave off our crippling addiction!
