We're reading listener postcards from The Island of Dr. Moreau, and they're terrifyingly great!

I just thought of this, RE: songs inspired by "Moreau" and that awesome Muppets idea, my favorite song from the band Blondie is the calypso-style "Island of Lost Souls". I don't think the song really was inspired by HG Wells, but the video has Fishmen playing brass instruments, and then a sequence where Debbie Harry seems to be lost in a foreboding jungle. So anyway, maybe this song would work in the "Muppets" parody Y'all mentioned.

In regards to the bonus eps being video and unedited; I absolutely do not mind the non edited nature as you guys already do A LOT for the show and anything you need to do to give yourselves a break or make your workload a bit easier is fine with me, however I do have to admit that I often completely forget that there is a video component as well.

I mean, I'd be happy with one or even two fewer releases every month if it meant you felt less stressed and got enough time for everything you wanted!

Over the years, you guys have covered many sanity-blasting stories and tales of terror to shake the soul, but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered such a horrifying concept as the prospect of you covering “Eat, Pray, Love”.

Hey, I co-wrote West of Sundown! With Tim Seeley of Hack Slash fame. Our whole conceit was that Moreau came to the American frontier prior to going to his island, thinking it would offer the isolation he seeks, as well as a ready source of dispossessed peoples to experiment upon, those people being the Pueblo and Dine population of northern New Mexico. In this first stage of his experimentation, his focus was, much like Prendick’s early assumption, the grafting of animal parts to human subjects. But thankfully, a beautiful Latinx vampire, an Irish defector from the confederate army, Frankenstein‘s monster, and a 15 year old future invisible man saved the people of northern New Mexico from the exploits of the psychopathic Dr. Oh, also Azathoth shows up. It’s a real hoot!

Beautiful, Chad! Just beautiful.

1 episode or 10 episodes a month, I’m a supporter for the next 100 years.

The transition from Cockney dandy to gangster in popular imagination might be due to Cockney Rhyming Slang. In case anyone isn’t familiar, rhyming slang consists of a two word phrase where the second word rhymes with the word the slang replaces. Often, this second word is dropped, leaving only the first, non-rhyming word. For example ‘make her a cup of Rosie, she’s in a right two and eight - her syrup fell off when she was coming down the apples’ Rosie = Rosie Lee = tea Two and eight = state Syrup = syrup and fig = wig Apples = apples and pears = stairs This form of slang was used by the lower classes to communicate in a way the wealthier Londoners would not understand. For example, market traders could shout messages to each other about someone with more money than sense who was passing through, or warn them if the police were approaching. Obviously this kind of semi secret language served criminals well and made for a good on-screen character trait. More modern uses of the slang includes suggesting someone doesn’t have a Scooby (Doo - clue) or are a Jeremy Hunt (former British Health secretary).

Hey guys, I took your advice and watched the 1931 version of Jekyll and Hyde, and woweee, you were right. That was definitely disturbing. Really great but also disturbing.
