The month March brings to mind many things ranging from Leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day festivities but to sports fans this month is special because of March Madness where Division 1 college teams duke it out for basketball supremacy...
Here at the Rants From the Black Lodge Podcast we love our heavy metal and 2021 will begin a new tradition in the style of the famed NCAA single elimination tournament with a hard rockin' twist.

The Rant Army, song by song will whittle down the original Black Sabbath catalog to decide which head banging anthem will reign supreme.
Album by album, each panelist will have 2 minutes to argue their pick for the best song and the tune with the most votes will advance in the tournament.
In the event that each panelist picks a different song, there will be an elimination vote and the 2 remaining songs will be voted one with only one moving to the next round. This will continue until there is only one song left standing.
Each album and song will be designated a random number to correlate with its bracket position to keep the matchups as unbiased as possible.

Guitar maestro Tony Iommi, legendary bassist Geezer Butler, drumming titan Bill Ward and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. Singularly they stand as Icons, together they become rock gods. Few composers, artist or bands can boast that they invented a musical genre, however in 1970 with 3 demonic notes the boys from Birmingham England opened the mouth of hell and gave birth to the greatest form of music known to mankind or otherwise... heavy fucking metal!
50 years later no band has touched the sacred sonic riffs, the haunting lyrics or the pounding rhythms.

Tonight we crank the dial to eleven as when pit Sabbath song against Sabbath song but only one can win HEAVY METAL MARCH MADNESS!

Somewhere between the suburbs of depravity and the Boulevard of bad taste lies a quaint little burrow known as Tromaville. Unfortunately, Tromaville’s inhabitants reside under the thumb of political corruption and live in fear of the cavalcades of murderous maniacs who roam the streets in search of bloody mayhem. However, born out of a tragedy a hero will rise to take out the trash of the forces of evil and literally clean up the mess of the foulest of the foul, mop in hand. 
This month the Rant Army tackles 1984s The Toxic Avenger with an in-depth retrospective featuring star, Mark Torgl and The Last Drive- In music man and Troma Producer, John Brennan.

Since the inception of the Rants From the Black Lodge Podcast there has been a shortlist of movies that were inevitable to be tackled by the Rant Army and the film we're spotlighting this month is a worthy choice to be the topic of discussion for our 3 Year Anniversary Episode. This month will not only be a celebration of this podcast but also of the movie in question, 1988's Child's Play.

Horror has many faces and has gone by many names but in the case of Adam Green’s Hatchet horror answers to the name Victor Crowley. So, buckle up Rant Army because tonight we head deep into the Honey Island Swamp in pursuit of a question... Has Victor Crowley has earned his place in the pantheon of the horror titans that came before him?
To help answer that question we enlist the services of star, Joel David Moore who provides an awesome introduction to this Hatchet retrospective.

Outmatched by the forces of the spirit world, the Rant Army need a REAL Ghostbuster to join the battle so thankfully Egon Spengler himself, Maurice LaMarche answered the call to provide an awesome introduction.

In 1973 the landscape of horror was shaken to its core with release of what man consider the scariest film of all-time, The Exorcist. The macabre tale of family's descent in the wake of a child's possession by a demonic entity playfully known as "Captain Howdy" receives an extensive examination from the Rant Army. This episode also features, the devil herself, Eileen Dietz who stops by the Black Lodge for an amazing introduction to our hellish episode.

Our 3rd annual "Spend Valentine's with the Man of Your Dreams" Freddy Krueger extravaganza kicks off with an intro from "Horror's First Male Scream Queen" and star of Nightmare one Elm Street 2, Mark Patton. However, we couldn't possibly do "Freddy's Revenge" proper justice without and insightful interview from its director, Jack Sholder.
From there, the Rant Army dissect the misunderstood and most polarizing entry in the long running Nightmare on Elm Street series.

What better way to ring in 2020 than by getting "Buzzed" by an in-depth look into the often forgotten slasher, Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III with a special introduction from the film's star, William Butler. That in of itself would be an awesome way to start off the new year but we also have a full length interview with "The Bad Boy of Production Design" Mick Strawn. As always, Mick spins some hilarious yarns about his time spent on the sets of Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, Austin Powers and a can't miss story about Wesley Snipes during the filming of Blade.
This Double Fright Feature cannot be missed.

The Room, Oversexed Rugsuckers From Mars, Manos: The Hands of Fate or Plan 9 From Outer Space. These films are all worthy contenders to the title of "Best Worst Movie" but only ONE can reign supreme in this craptastic pantheon of so bad it's good cinema... that film is Troll 2! This month, joining the ranks of the Rant Army, none other than NIlbog's favorite father, George Hardy.
Fasten your seat belts because this deep-dive double-feature of Troll 2 and it's tremendous documentary Best Worst Movie is bound to go off the rails.

The lawsuit between writer, Victor Miller and director, Sean Cunningham has seemingly buried the Friday the 13th film franchise six feet under but Jason Lives!... through content created by fans like Ben DeAtley from the Friday the 13th Network on Youtube. Ben stops by the black lodge to share his two cents on the fan film to end all fan films, Never Hike Alone. However, a Never Hike Alone episode would be nothing special without  it's director and star Vincente DiSanti who was kind enough to stop by for an interview in the black lodge.
