Episode 139 - Idol Worship: Ted V. Mikels

It’s time for a Ted talk! This week, Peaches and Michael are putting on their gold boots for an Idol Worship celebration of cult movie icon Ted V. Mikels! In addition to discussing this indie maverick’s legendarily lavish lifestyle, our hosts delve into a foundational filmography that includes the likes of THE CORPSE GRINDERS, ASTRO ZOMBIES, and THE DOLL SQUAD! Joining the conversation is acclaimed filmmaker Elijah Drenner, who digs into why movies like BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS didn’t always deliver on their title, while also exemplifying the wild world of their creator. Then, celebrated horror host Mr. Lobo returns with some remembrances of working on a later Mikels’ picture, as well as a story about how Ted V. Mikels once crossed paths with Ed Wood! From 10 VIOLENT WOMEN to boar’s tooth fashion accessories, this episode has it all! Go!
