With this episode of the show we open things up in a new
way! Although Troy
and I have had the occasional guest on the NaschyCast they have been rare
occurrences. Generally this was because we wanted to keep the show as focused
on the films of Paul Naschy as we could.
We felt that we should deviate as little as possible from covering the
movies in depth so keeping the visits infrequent allowed us to drill down and
(most importantly) stay on task. Longtime listeners will know that it doesn't
take much to get us sidetracked and having someone else present would make the
show a meandering monster!
So, with this episode we take the Naschycast into new
territory and talk to Cort Psyops for about two hours about his love of Naschy.
We quiz him on his first exposure to the Spanish Horror icon, learn what his
favorite Naschy films are and dig into the various werewolf movies in search of
the best and worst. Cort describes his discovery of this strange strain of
Euro-Horror and, in the process, makes both Troy and I feel really, really old. The only
mitigating details are that his initial viewing involved a VHS tape and not a
DVD. We are so old. Any way.....
If you've not checked out Cort's excellent podcast Cinema Psyops it comes highly recommended. I can honestly say that his show has made
me laugh more than almost any other film related podcast. Sometimes I laugh at
them but often I am laughing with them so I'm proud to have a bit of that fun
become a part of our show. The discussion here does waver all over the place
with talk of several unconnected topics but one of us always drags things back
to Naschy. I'm just looking forward to Cort and his co-host Matt covering more
Spanish Horror on their show. I'm wondering if Matt will survive!
Thank you for downloading and listening to the show. If you
have any comments or suggestions please write us at naschycast@gmail.com to let
us know what's on your mind. If there are any Naschy subjects you'd like to
have us discuss let us know. In the meantime, remember that we are in the Year
of Naschy Blu-Rays so go pick up some hi-def horror for your home!
