Destructomundo!

Episode 032 Monsters!

James — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 00:47:00 +0000

Whether they're climbing to to the tops of buidings, or just stomping on them, Monsters are huge! Giant horrors attack us from from the depths of our oceans, from the skies, and from island sanctuaries suspciously unclaimed by any nation. Are they from space, a scientific after effect, or something from our prehistoric past? Do they mean to eat us, or do they just hate buildings and trains and stuff? What can we do to stop them? Armies seem useless against them. Are we doomed against such a foe as Godzilla? Call in the Science Patrol!

Episode 031 Hell On Earth

James — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 00:44:00 +0000

Evil can't just be content with having all of us sinners ending up in the firey depths when we finally bite it. No, Evil wants to bring it on home to us now. Free Delivery. It's Hell on Earth! Demons, devils, denziens from the outer planes join forces to make our lives up here on terra firma a lot hotter, and chock full of unspeakable horrors. Think your job is crappy now? Wait till you're forced to do it for eternity. Hail Satan!

Episode 030a/030b Vampires

James — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 03:02:00 +0000

Holy Water. Check. Garlic. Check. Wooden stakes. Check. Big cross. Check. Leather trenchcoat, and sunglasses. Check. It's Vampires! Destructomundo's "B-Team" tackles the denziens of the night in this special Halloween episode. Join James, Jeremiah, Mike, Jason, and special guest Mark for tales from Transylvania and beyond. Way beyond. Bloodsucking is such risky behavior these days.

Episode 029 Global Warming

James — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 01:17:00 +0000

The atmosphere gets thicker, the Earth gets hotter, ice caps get meltier... you know the rest. Or do you? In this episode we thoroughly explore the apocalyptic scenario that we are all currently facing, and by "thoroughly explore", I mean go off subject every chance we get. Al Gore managed to keep your attention for about the same amount of time as this episode runs, in his documentary, so the least you can do is let us bore... ahem... I mean., discuss openly the single greatest threat to mankind ever: Kevin Costner. And oh yeah, James learns to read.

Episode 028 Overpopulation

James — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 01:12:00 +0000

Living conditions here on Earth are getting more and more cramped with each passing decade. Our spaces to live in grow smaller, and the many are now living in areas designed just a few. No longer can we expect that the once inexhaustible resources of the past will be able to meet the needs of this ever growing mass of humanity. It's Overpopulation! Humans breeding out of control. Dwindling food supplies. Suspiciously delicious snack foods! We explore these topics and more in this episode. We ask, and attempt to answer, some of the daunting questions that mankind must face in the near future. Where will we live? What will we eat? Does my apartment come "furnished" for that price?

Episode 027 Terrorism

James — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 19:04:00 +0000

With fervent hatred of our values, powerful evil men plot our demise. It's terrorism! From secret bases and underground lairs, they recruit their henchmen to destroy our way of life. With their secret weaponry and networks of the faithful, they seek to spread their tentacles of evil all over the world to enslave us all! Well, at least we kinda think so. Where do they come from, what are they after, where does a guy get those great uniforms? Our panel of "experts" discuss these things and many others in this episode. If you hate our freedoms, and can pilot a handglider for the cause, we have an organization that wants to recruit you! Serpentor offers a sign-on bonus, and your choice of base location. At least that's what I heard.

Episode 026 Superheroes

James — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 02:48:00 +0000

Look! Up in the sky! Blah, blah, blah... It's Superheroes!(or Underwear Perverts, if you prefer) We're back with the companion to our Supervillians episode. We discuss the pantheon of heroes that have saved humanity from destruction time and time again. They can be our saviors, or our destroyers. Our role models, or our bad influences. Leather or tights? You decide. Listen as James, Derek, Adam and our very special guest host Jeremiah, a man whose comic book knowledge will amaze and astound (girls, hold yourself back. He's married!), totally nerd out.

Episode 025 The Big List 2 - The Christmas Special

James — Sun, 24 Dec 2006 14:51:00 +0000

What would you ask for if there was to be a new year without any civilization? Did you make out your survival checklist to Santa? It's The Big List - Volume Deux - The Christmas Special! We go over our own personal wish lists to give you some gift ideas for the coming apocalypse. Remember all those years when you were disappointed that you got socks under the tree? Well, you might just be hoping that you get some from the big guy this year, unless of course you're getting coal. Coal's good.

Episode 024 Cthulhu

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 19:07:00 +0000

As I write this, I finally realize the horror of what we have discussed. The dark crevasses of the mind, those that spare us from the reality of what is actually happening around us, have been opened to the cold pale light of awareness. I reel, as the knowledge of what we have discovered... no, wrought upon ourselves, has sealed our doom. We went too far in. We shone our lights into the Abyss, and it recognized us. Marked us. Hunts us. I could sleep if it were not for the incessant squishing noises that my mind imagines are just outside the door. There they are now! I will not let them take me! They come for me! It comes for me!!

Episode 023 Louisville Zombie Attack

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 09:00:00 +0000

Recorded on August 29th, Derek and James cover the 2006 Louisville Zombie Attack. Louisville, city of Return of the Living Dead, comes undead again for the Zombocalypse. We interview the living, cricket bat wielding stereo clerks, SWATs, EMTs, and firemen. The living dead, runners and shamblers, to the braineaters and entrail-philes. James cracks on vampires, and Derek drinks from a bucket of blood, while contemplating getting paid time off from work. Fat chance! Also, we find out Beer-Brains are the best ever! Happy birthday Lindy, Mike, and John! THE END IS NIGH!!!

Episode 022 Anarchy

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:59:00 +0000

Dig out all your spiked wrist bracelets and throw on your Doc Marten's, 80's fashion is making a comeback. It's ANARCHY!!! Freedom to do what you want, or fear of roving rape gangs. From punk rockers and policemen, to prisoners and presidents, we discuss the great lack of an governmental power in the world, and what it would mean for us all. Get ready to pop and lock on the cardboard, cause we're gonna have a break-off. Oh, and word to Lee Ving, the greatest man alive.

Episode 021 Technopause

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:58:00 +0000

No phones, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxury... Welcome to the Technopause, or the end of technology. Maybe the sun got a little too violent with the solar flares, or the north and south poles flip, or an EMP that effects the entire world is set off. Chances are you won't be hearing about it on TV, radio, or even podcasts. There won't be any time for any of those things anyway, you'll be too busy dealing with the end of civilization, and getting your dog powered armored wagon up and running. Well, at least there won't be any more electric bills to pay...

Episode 020 Time Travel

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:57:00 +0000

Get in your Delorean and take it up to 88mph. It's Time Travel, and we go back and forth about going back and forth. From messing with your grandpa, to stealing from the past. We go over all the pitfalls and benefits of zooming through time. From delving into the past and re-living history, to traveling far into the future and witnessing what is to come, we explore this favorite of Sci-Fi authors and philosophers throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Strange things are indeed afoot at the Circle K.

ps. TimeRider, you heathen nonbelievers.

Episode 019a/019b Supernatural Evil

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:55:00 +0000

Evil, it's big with the baddies, and we mean the worst of them. Demons, entities, other-dimensional beings, The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man... Choose! Maggie's back with us, and we let loose with a two part show of Ultimate Doom! We solicit illegal drugs from our listeners; manage to stray so far off subject it actually may kill the very young, or the elderly; drink to excess(again); and make with the co-host slapstick every chance we get. So, grab your holy charm, sword, water, or miscellaneous item of choice, and sit back and prepare to be supernaturally assaulted. Listen to Slayer.

Episode 018 Nuclear War

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:54:00 +0000

Atomic Horror! The spectre of "The Bomb" has been with us for over 60 years now, and it's still going strong. Sci-fi owes a great deal to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Where do we start? Bright flash, mushroom cloud, radioactive fallout, melty appendages... Well, at least we know where it ends. DUCK AND COVER!!

Episode 017 Doppelgangers

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:53:00 +0000

Are you you? Am I me? We try to find out who's who, and who isn't, and why they would want to steal our identities. Doppelgangers, shapeshifters, pod people! How can we tell who is an copy, and who is the original? Why do they want us eliminated? What are they going to do with all of our stuff? We answer these questions and more in this episode, giving you the information you need to defeat... they are our friends. They mean us no harm. Just listen to our podcast, and relax. Here, have a pod...

Episode 016 Mutants

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:52:00 +0000

Mutants. Malformed, deranged, canibalistic. Are they less than human, or more than human? How did they get that way? What do they want with our co-eds? Are the animals mutated by man's environmental pollution seeking revenge against us? We strive to answer these questions and more in this episode of Destructomundo. Normality is a disease! Fire up the Matter Transporter, we're bringing mutants to the masses!

Episode 015 Rocks From Space

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:51:00 +0000

Look out! Rocks! And they're from space! The dinosaurs never stood a chance, so what can we do? Run away? Relocate? We answer that question, and many more in what is one of the favorite subjects of science fiction in films both good, and the really not so good. From killer, man eating plants, and Bruce Willis in space, to 80's cheerleaders, psycho mutants, and broken meteorites full of goo... we bring it all to you. We also have a bonus for you at the end of the show. No, we're not going to tell you what it is! Listen, and find out for yourself... before it's too late.

Episode 014 Bunkers

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:50:00 +0000

Make a fort out of the couch cushions, and pack a lunch. It's bunker time! Fortifications of the rich and famous, and underground vaults are our focus in this episode. We go over some of the sweet real estate up for sale in the UK, and in the American midwest. Get your own WWII underground city complete with a pub, or your own elevator access nuclear missile silo with an address the Russkies have on their Christmas card list. We also go over the differences between Bomb Shelters, and Fallout Shelters, and where you can find them. Six foot thick concrete walls are your friends.

Episode 013 Post Apocalypses

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:47:00 +0000

So, the apocalypse is over, and you made it through alive. If you're thinking you made it through the worst part, you'd be wrong. From bad hair, and bondage midgets, to cod-pieces, and talking pets, we get you in to the swinging afterparty that is the post apocalypse, and it's BYO everything. Listen, as we worship the moustache of George Peppard, and the ass of Ariel from Thundarr The Barbarian. Also, it's international email reading time again. This time from Down Under. Who rules Bartertown?!! No, really. We want to know.

Episode 012 Dystopia

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:47:00 +0000

It's 1984 all over again, and we're bringing you all the new-wave hits! Crime! Oppression! Overpopulation! Cyberspace! Paranoia! War! It's Dystopia!! Ted's back, and Adam again joins the cast for our look at the opposite of the Utopian concept, and what kind of life it describes. We discuss the many books, and films that have been made on the subject, and how close we may be to living in a Dystopia ourselves today. Pop a Soma, and grab the Soylent Green and dip... it's ThoughtCrime time!

Episode 011a/011b The Fourth Reich

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:45:00 +0000

Nazis! WWII's losers are back for another go. We go in search of secret Antarctic bases, hollow earth forces, The Boys From Brazil, Hitler's Brain, and more with our special guest host Adam. We discuss the history, and the myths behind the Nazi mystique, and who or what might be involved in modern Nazi efforts to finally achieve world domination. It's one of our favorite subjects, and we made it a two parter. Our first international email is answered, and we talk about what's in store for Destructomundo. Give it up for the best villians ever! w00t!

Episode 010a/010b Zombie Apocalypse

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:44:00 +0000

We pull out all the stops, barricade ourselves inside the Magnolia Bar in Louisville, Kentucky, and record Destructomundo with a (thankfully) live audience, and seek to answer the question: "Can dogs look up?" It's Zombies! We discuss what to do; where to go; what to have; and who to be with. We invite friends fom the audience to sit in as our special guests: Rachel: Zombie Expert, Hardware Aficionado; Maggie: Weapons Expert, Boozefighter; Gary: Ace Reporter and Webslinger; Shaun "O' the Dead": Trailer Park Pimp, Art Critic; Rob "BLEEP": Gun "Runner", Cemetary Man; "Silent" Dave: Scoot Jockey, Nomad Trash, Walmart Shopper. Runners, shamblers, brain-eaters, and dead Nazis beware!

We're on Myspace now like all the cool kids.

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:42:00 +0000

Well, we went and made a myspace account. It has pics, and posts, and we're totally friends with Voltron, and Steve Zissou. Come by and be our friend. Pretty please!

Episode 009 The Antichrist

James — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 08:41:00 +0000

He's a kid with a numeric birthmark on his head, and a particularly nasty disposition. Certified bad boy, and the bonafide son of Satan: The Antichrist! Who names their kid Damien anyway? Ted, James, and Derek go to sunday school in this episode as we take a look at one of the most evil and misunderstood figures in Christianity(by us at least), and really try to get to know rock and roll's greatest icon. If he can inspire Slayer and Black Sabbath, he can't be all bad. James tries his hand at pod-evangelism, as he quotes chapter and verse. We are so going to hell.
