Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine 7/9/15 - the rehabilitation of Joe D'Amato
Thursday Jul 09, 2015
Thursday Jul 09, 2015
Welcome to Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine - your essential guide to all things wild and wonderful in the world of cult entertainment! This week, we'll be talking more about the contentious-even-among-cult-film-fans director/producer Aristide Massaccesi, better known on domestic shores as Joe D'Amato. With both his own work and his company Filmirage funding and steering efforts by such oft beloved, yet equally oft derided Italian horror directors as Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi, Michele Soavi and Claudio Fragasso in addition to being primarily responsible for the film career of Laura Gemser, D'Amato's name is practically synonymous with "bottom feeder crap"...and yet many of these films are among the most absurdly entertaining, extreme and/or sexy films in the entire canon of 1980's Italian horror, and the man himself is often spoken of fondly by both directors and stars of his efforts. Perhaps it's time to revisit Signore Massaccesi, and take a look at his films in a very different light... Drop in for a spell, and join hosts "Doc" Savage and Louis Paul as we we take a step outside the mainstream and dig deep into the rich vein of cult cinema, music and television, right here on Weird Scenes inside the Goldmine!

Moving Towards Light 7/7/15 - bondage & discipline

Tuesday Jul 07, 2015
Good evening, fellow seekers, and welcome to Moving Towards Light, a forum where we discuss and provide some hard earned insight relating to our own explorations of the many roads and methods which promise to lead us to the ultimate answer: a higher purpose, the meaning of life. Tonight we're talking discipline! How many of us have found our daily lives getting in the way of more metaphysical endeavors? How is meditation or its equivalent just like exercise - including why we often find ourselves not wanting to do it? Janna offers: "In my mundane life, I am trying to improve my diet and exercise so that I don't die of a heart attack before turning 60. But I'm also trying to improve my spiritual life to help prepare for my eventual death. Sometimes, I "get in the zone" where everything runs great. Other times, I am barely faking my way through...or worse, completely fall off the wagon and have to start over from square one. How does one obtain the discipline to get up early each morning to hit the gym...and remember to feed my spiritual self by practicing meditation every day?" Plus our usual tangenital flow of thought and transference of deep knowledge and esoteric wisdom...if you've been with us for the last four shows, you know the score! For all those frustrated in their quest, who've been through various stops on the spectrum of spirituality and found them ultimately unfulfilling: Join hosts "Doc" Savage and Janna (the "Esoteric Mom") as we share both hard learned lessons and thoughts on potential new directions in the quest, on our journey towards light.

Welcome to Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine - your essential guide to all things wild and wonderful in the world of cult entertainment! This week, we'll be talking more about the perennially divisive Jesus Franco Manera, favorite son of Spanish (and French, and German...) cult film aficionados everywhere. Once popularly derided and critically despised, a large percentage of Franco's extensive filmography has since been given a reappraisal in the light of HD restorations from any number of cult "boutique" labels in the DVD era. Tonight, we pick up where we left off with the dawn of his more famed 1970's era, where he would simultaneously attain his greatest heights and weather some notable lows. And as always in our Dinner With Andre meets Mindwalk format, we'll see just how far we can get before the clock runs down! Drop in for a spell, and join hosts "Doc" Savage and Louis Paul as we we take a step outside the mainstream and dig deep into the rich vein of cult cinema, music and television, right here on Weird Scenes inside the Goldmine!

Moving Towards Light: Judgment

Tuesday Jun 30, 2015
Good evening, fellow seekers, and welcome to Moving Towards Light, a forum where we discuss and provide some hard earned insight relating to our own explorations of the many roads and methods which promise to lead us to the ultimate answer: a higher purpose, the meaning of life. Tonight we'll be talking the contentious topic of judgment. Generally serving as a negative and something to be avoided, are there positive aspects to the subject to be found as well? Discernment, wisdom, common sense and awareness all involve some degree of judgment, a weighing of the positives and negatives of a given situation. Is there a "good side" or "pluses" to judgment? Plus our usual tangenital flow of thought and transference of deep knowledge and esoteric wisdom - regular listeners know the score. For all those frustrated in their quest, who've been through various stops on the spectrum of spirituality and found them ultimately unfulfilling: Join hosts "Doc" Savage and Janna (the "Esoteric Mom") as we share both hard learned lessons and thoughts on potential new directions in the quest, on our journey towards light.

Plus our usual tangenital flow of thought and transference of deep knowledge and esoteric wisdom...if you've been with us for the last two shows, you know the score!
