Gothcast

This week’s episode is another centered around gothic cinema (or at least movies most goths would appreciate.) Sticking with our form of discussing three movies, we decided to choose some movies that we consider to be classics that are not as watched as much as some other movies that have been adopted by the gothic subculture. We decided to review Suspiria (1977), Ed Wood (1994), and Only Lovers Left Alive (2013). We discuss the beauty and value of each of these films, any possible flaws, and their appeal to the gothic subculture. 

In this week's episode of GothCast we take a look at perhaps one of the most influential bands in the deathrock scene, Christian Death. In particular, we discuss the album Only Theatre of Pain (1982), Catastrophe Ballet (1984) and Ashes (1985) which feature Rozz Williams as the lead vocalist. In addition, we felt it necessary to talk about Super Heroines in reference to Christian Death and the role they played in their formation. 

In this episode we continue our review of the The Cure’s career as we discuss the trajectory of their music over the course of the mid to late eighties. We cover the albums The Top (1984), The Head on the Door (1985), Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987), and Disintegration (1989). This time is often seen as the high-point of their career with a number of top singles, but do the records hold up today?

There is no denying that cinema has played a massively influential role in gothic music, fashion, and the entire subculture. Subsequently, we wanted to pay respect to three of our favorite films associated with gothic subculture. In this particular episode we take a look at Blade Runner (1982), The Crow (1994), and Let the Right One In (2008). This is probably one of the only episodes where Dr Sanders and Robbie Gore don’t completely disagree on everything.

Often considered the first full-fledged gothic-rock band to ever exist, Bauhaus is still supremely influential today. Dr.Sanders and Robbie Gore take a look at  their albums In the Flat Field (1980), Mask (1981), The Sky's Gone Out (1982), Burning from the Inside (1983) and Go Away White (2008)  while also discussing few select live releases.

In this episode we discuss The Sisters of Mercy's career and what has led them to be one of the most popular goth bands of all time. We talk about their albums First and Last and Always (1985), Floodland (1987), and Vision Thing (1990) while briefly covering the compilation albums which followed.

This is first episode of GothCast. It spawned a seemingly never ending series of episodes in which Dr.Sanders discusses things with other humans. In this episode Dr.Sanders and Robbie Gore discuss The Cure albums Three Imaginary Boys (1979), Seventeen Seconds (1980), Faith (1981), and Pornography (1982).
