Hosts: Bob & Jeff
Shorter Than Dio!
Wow! We’re rolling out new episodes faster than Willie Nelson rolls out new releases or rolls up his favorite smoking blend. The second season rolls on as guest Baron Von Kopper (of The Wayback Machine radio show and the Savage Kick podcast) takes control of the musical playlist while Jeff & Bob look at two very off beat feature films in the Public Domain, Roger Corman’s A Bucket of Blood (1959) and William “one shot” Beaudine’s Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952). The principal roles in both movies are played by “actors” who are all much shorter than Ronnie James Dio and overcome their vertically challenged stature with “lifts,” aka elevator shoes.

Hey Bob,
The Deviants’ song (“Bela Lugosi”) was recorded in 1977, TWO YEARS before Bauhaus recorded “Bela Lugosi’s Dead.” The two songs are completely different, sound nothing alike. So the Deviants’ song is definitely NOT a rip-off of the Bauhaus tune. Just wanted to clear that up… The Deviants featured Mick Farren, who also did some work with Wayne Kramer & the MC5, among others, before becoming a respected rock critic. Here, check out Mick’s blog:
