This week on Toilet Radio: We continue the October Spooktacular! Instead of watching a grainy movie filmed on someone’s uncle’s camcorder, we’re mixing it up with a big-budget Hollywood picture! Arachnophobia (1990), stars John Goodman Jeff Daniels as a big city doc who moves to the country. It just so happens that he’s terrified of spiders and a swarm of deadly Venezuelan tarantulas just set up shop in his backyard. Join us as we marvel at the cinematography, laugh along with the hilarious smal...

This week on Toilet Radio: We kick off our October Spooktacular with 2020 Canadian horror comedy Psycho Goreman! By the creators of one of the greatest shlock films of the century, the extremely funny and disturbing Father’s Day, Psycho Goreman asks the question: what if we made the hardest R-rated movie possible for kids? The results are polarizing! I loved it, Jordan hated it. Join us as we talk all about practical effects, Power Rangers, GWAR, and much, much more. Then join us next week for t...

This week on Toilet Radio: Brady Ebert, former Turnstile guitarist, failed his competency hearing for his attempted murder charge and has been deemed a danger to himself and others. Put this man in the hardcore hall of fame immediately. Wendys, the fast food chain, has released an EP featuring a bunch of washed metalcore bands to distract you from the fact that their food is awful. Ohio Republican Eric Deters and Kid Rock banded together to put on a festival that went up in flames. Let’s examine...

I have terrible news. The most likely #1 song for this year’s Most Popular Songs of the Year just dropped. We present “Joseph”, the latest from Falling in Reverse, the brain child of apex brain Ronnie Radke. Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Serj Tankian of System of a Down also join in to piss away the remaining drops of credibility they had left. We discuss the song, the lyrics, and the predictably over-rendered and undercooked music video that’ll surely make you say, “Hey, I’ve seen a popular movi...

This week on Toilet Radio: Gen X Correspondent Ian steps in to interview the legendary Kai Hansen of Helloween, Gamma Ray, Unisonic, and a million other cool things. This time he’s talking the magic that only exists when tracking demos, Queen-worship, guitar guy chat, the early days of Helloween, and a frank discussion about A.I. There’s lots of great stuff here. Skip to 27 minutes in if you just wanna hear the interview. But to kick this sode off, me and Jordan are talking about Carrie Underwoo...

This week on Toilet Radio: Brady Ebert is still killin’ it in court (metaphorically) and now has to stand for a competency evaluation while on trial for attempted murder. Speaking of murder, Bad Wolves are at it again. They first made a name for themselves by releasing a cover of Zombie that killed Dolores O’Riorden. This time they killed Dolly Parton. In the meantime, they’re losing a guitarist who didn’t like the cover’s optics and fighting with right wing nutjobs Skillet. Pretty sure that’s a...

This week on Toilet Radio: Osbourne family vizier, Jack, is threatening to revive Ozzfest as a one-day event in England. This has prompted your Toilet Boyz to travel back in time and examine the bones of Ozzfests past. What we found is an encapsulation of the last 30 years of heavy metal, from shaky new grounds, cultural and monetary glory, and a slow, painful decline. Join as we talk about the little bands that we be something, the big bands that would be nothing, and Pushmonkey. Folks, it’s a ...

This week on Toilet Radio: Maynard James Keenan wants to make you eat sushi in the desert. The guy from Skindred has one million grandchildren. King 810 is threatening to release a new album and tour the rust belt – what exactly happened to these guys? Snot is trying again and 90s funk metal will never die. Demon Hunter is suing the studio behind K-POP Demon Hunter and we take a deep dive into K-Pop, anime, and Christian metal. Charley Crockett is STILL trying to beef with Twin Temple and Jack W...

This week on Toilet Radio: For reasons that I cannot fully articulate, we went over to the Internet Archive to watch The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, a 1990 starring vehicle for one of the worst to ever do it: Andrew “Dice” Clay. This picture, in which Dice plays a “Rock n’ Roll Detective”, is confusing, expensive, mean-spirited, giant piece of shit from a butt. BUT it does feature Gilbert Gottfried as Howard Stern, Vince Neil as a dead rock star Ed O’Neil as a disco detective, an animatronic ko...

This week on Toilet Radio: We’re talking about a dungeon synth festival coming up at the Overlook Hotel that we wanna go to real bad. The decimation of music publications continues unobstructed. Brooklyn Vegan, Revolver, and other publications have been gutted by the private equity machine, this time helmed by something called “Veeps” owned by legendarily bad band Good Charlotte. Let’s dive in and learn what the hell Veeps is and what these Madden freaks are up to. IN OTHER NEWS, the bass player...

Avenged Sevenfold are done with labels and they’re right about something for the first time… ever? Finally, we have another Knuc...

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: We take a listen to the surprise new EP from Avenged Sevenfold and it is, yet again, music that attempts to cover ground that was covered twenty years ago. This one is interesting because it’s bad but not for any of the reasons you’ve come to expect from metal’s first Blockchain band. In other shocking news, King Diamond has kicked Andy LaRocque from the band in favor of Gus G. What’s is happening? We discuss the tragic passing of Sick of it All’s Lou Koller. Finally, ...

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: Senior league hockey fights! Cliff Burton is the latest to be tortured for eternity in the metaverse thanks to Knucklebonz! Ash Avildsen is being sued by AEW over unpaid promotional costs for his women’s wrestling movie that made many, many negative dollars. Poppy made her faceless goons perform a show on stage sans Poppy. Iron Maiden sold half their catalog to one of those IP warehouses that are currently collecting all popular music from the last 60 years. Tommy Vext...

This week on Toilet Radio we delve into one of Joe’s favorite subjects: Olde-timey music. This time we’re talking about a 1950’s-style modern country musician vs a 1950’s-style satanic pop duo. Charley Crockett, one of the hardest working musicians in Texas, made the mistake of looking into one of his opening bands and then opining loudly while kicking Twin Temple off a measly two dates. Worlds be colliding and the fallout is, frankly, incredible. Put this in your textbooks as a case study in mu...

This week on Toilet Radio: Joe and Jordan discuss the 250th limited-edition American Independence Day. We take a trip in our time machine and travel ONCE MORE into the Metaverse.

This week on Toilet Radio: Hot SOCCER action and FIFA madness! Phil Labonte offers an update on his thoughts RE: therapy is for women; still stupid. Silent Planet hit back with a zinger and then STICK IT to the French by metaphorically torching a venue over merch cuts and VAT fees. Hellfest (US) lived out an actual nightmare I’ve had by struggling to find a venue to host a big ass festival at the very last minute. What’s up with Hellfest (US) anyway and how far out of the loop are we on new hard...

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: Senior hockey leagues! Danzig is threatening to release another terrible movie and we compare/contrast him with Tommy Wiseau. Ozzy’s stupid kid is defending himself after going to the stupid president’s stupid blood sport event on the White House lawn. Phil Labonte has decided that American men are facing a crisis of alienation and also that therapy is for women. We shrink ourselves down Magic Schoolbus style and EXPLORE THE PSYCHE OF PHIL LABONTE. Sleep is back withou...

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: Jordan lectures on Professional Wrestling at an Ivy League university while Joe gets sprayed down by a severed artery. But for the most part, we’re Remembering Some Guys. We started thinking about bands that had everything going for them but for some reason, timing or label issues or a bizarre X-factor, they couldn’t become as big as their potential. We’re talking about bands like Bleed, Cellador, Young and in the Way, Elysia, 7 Angels 7 Plagues, It Dies Today, and muc...

This week on Toilet Radio: Gen X Correspondent Ian sits down with acclaimed film, video game, and television composer Bear McCreary. For folks unfamiliar, Bear has composed music for everything from Battlestar Galactica, God of War, The Walking Dead, and The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Bear tells us the origins of his desire to put out heavy metal albums after working with Brendon Small, Serj Tankian, and Gene Hoglan on a track for Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019). Now on his second albu...

Hot damn! On this week’s episode Gen X Correspondent scores an interview with Michel “Away” Langevin. Away talks about providing the orchestra cues from some of the band’s favorite cyperpunk movies, attempting to mic up every single piece of the orchestra, members of the symphony catching Voivod for lifting classical passages in their songs, learning how to make digital art in the early 80s and getting a band new computer with earnings from Probot, working on an 80s-style video game called Nucle...

This week on Toilet Radio: Venomous snake disasters! Furnace Fest is back and more generic than ever! Instead of a collection of hardcore revivals for old heads and baffling Christcore bands, you’ve got something way more dishwater. Aaron Lewis is back with more jingoistic bullshit, this time a hilarious ballad about how much he hates China. Drowning Pool had to cancel an upcoming South American tour and we examine the BLUE DOT FEVER phenomenon that’s sweeping the nation as gas reaches twenty bu...
