#110 - The Road to Killer Klowns - A Tribute to Dave Teague

2 Recommendations

Happy David Teague Day! :) We declare September 21 to be a new holiday, based on the birthday of our friend and co-host, David Teague, who we lost back in March 2022. In the early days of the podcast, Dave would persistently request that we review the sci-fi/horror/comedy B-movie, "Killer Klowns From Outer Space." Eventually, we caved in and reviewed it in episode #020. In honor and memory of Dave on his birthday, this episode contains all the clips of Dave's requests for Killer Klowns, followed by a slightly abridged version of episode #020 itself.

To celebrate David Teague Day, do any one or more of the following... Watch a bad movie (on purpose), go to a movie, talk about a movie with your friends, play a game, read a Star Wars book, read any book, enjoy history, enjoy nature, go to the beach or at least think about the beach, play the main theme to Star Wars as you cross a state/county/city border, write something, sketch something, make something with your hands, be silly, be smart, be different, be happy, make someone happy, or just...be nice.

...And, listen to this episode, of course. ;)

Dedicated in memory of co-host, friend, brother: David Charles Teague.
