It is my privilege to be able to announce that Eddie the Axe Jefferson, gracious host of The Bloodybits Horror Show (on which I had a recent guest appearance) has now put up a Patreon. Eddie does a lot with horror — but not just movies, it could be anything horror-related, and i suspect this podcast will be venturing afield into many realms of the dark and macabre. Not limiting his ambitions and considerable talents to podcasting, Eddie has also put up an Internet livestream for Patreon supporters with its own kind of cool content. If any of these sorts of things interest you, I urge you to get over there and show him some support. These may be tough times, but for less than the price of an espresso every month, you can help keep the blade of culture sharp and shiny. The Horror Gods thank you!
Panel 1: Chiba underwater in the tank. She is swimming upright and has taken a fish out of the bag tied to her belt, which she is holding in her hand. One of the creature’s tentacles is extending toward her.
Panel 2: One of the tentacles is wrapped around the fish. The other has grabbed onto one of the shoulder straps of Chiba’s suit and is pulling it down.
Panel 3: The Cub Scouts again, who are staring at this scene gap-mouthed and obviously very interested in what will happen next.
Panel 4: Chiba using her free hand to swat at the tentacles aiming at molesting her. Her shoulder strep is down around her upper arm.

MONTAGE – FROM INDUSTRIAL RUIN TO HIGH-TECH LAB
– View inside the warehouse, now a clean, high-tech facility. Rosalie, wearing a standard white lab coat and no protective gear. stands just out of reach of waving tentacles, noting something on a clipboard.

Panel 1: CHIBA MOE (“Chiba”), a very attractive young Japanese woman wearing a white one-piece swimsuit that has a logo for the Marine Center above the left breast stands on a diving board in position to make a dive. The swimsuit, while a one-piece, seems designed to emphasize some sex appeal, especially cleavage. Around Chiba’s waist there is a belt with a bag of sorts attached. The diving board extends over the tank containing the creature.
CAPTION (1): At Energexecon Center, a few years later.
Translation (1): Im Energexecon Center, ein paar Jahre später.
Panel 2: Chiba going into the water, her legs and lower half still out as she is in mid-dive.
SFX – DIVE (2): Splash!
Translation (2): Platsch!
Panel 3: A group of Cub Scouts in uniform, sitting cross-legged on the floor of the Center outside the pool. They are looking up, fascinated.
Panel 4: Chiba descending into the tank on her dive, underwater and surrounded by bubbles.
Panel 1: Turpentine, in a white labcoat, standing next to the side of the tank. He is being interviewed. In the part of the tank that is visible behind him, there’s nothing but water.
Turpentine (1): Well, we had some difficult times there, but it is remarkable how we succeeded in the end.
Translation (1): Nun, wir hatten dort einige schwierige Momente, aber es ist bemerkenswert, wie wir am Ende erfolgreich waren.
Panel 2: Turpentine facing the tank and placing one hand on the glass.
Turpentine (2): We’ll study the Creature and find out what makes it tick. I’d say that its woman-eating days are over.
Translation (2): Wir werden die Kreatur studieren und herausfinden, wie sie funktioniert. Ich würde sagen, dass die Tage des Frauenfressens vorüber sind.
Panel 3: Turpentine facing outward from the glass again. In the background, un-noted by him, a tentacle has snaked into the shot. This tentacle has an eye at its end, wide open in this panel.
Turpentine (3): I believe humanity will benefit a great deal from the study of Gynophagos turpentinii.
Comment (3): Same conventions on Linnean species names apply as above.
Translation (3): Ich bin überzeugt, dass die Menschheit von der Erforschung von Gynophagos turpentinii sehr profitieren wird.
Unseen interviewer (out-of-panel balloon) (4): Wasn’t it supposed to be named Gynophagos honeywoodiae?
Translation (4): Sollte sie nicht eigentlich Gynophagos honeywoodiae heißen?
Panel 4: Turpentine looking a bit perplexed and annoyed. Behind him, the eye-tentacle has contorted into an Angry Squint, as similar as possible to the same Angry Squint made by Claudia Honeywood.
Turpentine (5): I’m sorry, but I have no recollection of that.
Translation (5): Tut mir leid, daran erinnere ich mich nicht.
It is a privilege and a pleasure to announce another guest podcast appearance, this time on Eddie “the Axe” Jefferson’s new audio venture The Bloodybits Horror Show, on which we discuss David Cronenberg’s 1983 masterpiece Videodrome. Ever been scared at the thought at what’s really being beamed onto your screen? You should be. I conjecture at some length about a what I think is the underlying psychological mechansim that makes movies like Videodrome (and so much of the rest of Cronenberg’s oeuvre) so compelling. Eddie compellingly narrates gory detail after gory detail.
