This week Jakie's away from the mic to take a breath so our old pal Mr. Dynamo Marz from Trick or Tread Radio (one of Entertainment Weekly's top Horror podcasts!) steps up to pinch hit. He and CD-R spend several hours verbally fumbling and bumbling in an attempt to quantify what it is that makes Charles Band's Dungeonmaster aka Ragewar and George A. Romero's Knightriders either good or bad. Is it Richard Mole talking about torturing cats? Is it Ed Harris flogging himself in a pond? Could it be an evil puppet with shaved thighs?! It may just be something as simple as pendulous breasts dripping with pizza cheese but you ain't gonna know unless you strap on your armor, grab your Excalibrate and come fight the dragon with us!!!
