Episode 29 - This is the Zodiac Speaking pt 2 ft. Brace Belden
Added 2021-09-30 14:18:08 +0000 UTCPart 2 of our look at the Bay Area and the serial killer as a social and political subject in the 60s and 70s. The Dark Cowboy (Brace - @TrueAnonPod) once again guides the humble host (me - @ghoststoriesend) on a dark voyage into the West Coast netherhead. A psychedelic abyss, you might say, where spooks, dirty politicians, killers, crooks, cult leaders and capering grotesques grin with bloody, hungry mouths as the 60s counterculture slams head on into the nihilistic 70s.

https://youtu.be/YdBuvSqxZ6s?feature=shared You wonβt regret it! Canadian grindhouse era movie Siege (1983) Iβve always figured this dope movie was inspired by the white night shit. It does have homophobic violence/language in the first 10 min of that bar scene but probably the most based anti-homophobe horror movie ever filmed. The Living End maybe goes harder?

2024-04-05 15:33:38 +0000 UTCJust subscribed, so I'm extremely late to this, but it's important to note that Dan White and his "twinkie defense" coupled with the insane acquittal are straight out of the MKULTRA playbook. Also important to note that the assassinations happened 9 days after the Jonestown mass murder

2021-10-01 23:06:22 +0000 UTCFor me when thinking of the dark turn of Northern California's 1970s my mind always starts with Pynchon's Vineland. Doesn't focus so much on the Bay as further inland but still super relevant.
