episode #14: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (50%) cover

Description

“We were around Barstow on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold”. This iconic line spoken by Raoul Duke in Hunter S. Thompson’s groundbreaking novel sets the reader off for an adventure that they won’t ever forget. With its strong use of psychedelic imagery and journalistic approach. Hunter makes us a third party to the antics that both Mr. Duke and his Attorney, Dr Gonzo get involved with. In this episode, Donnie and The Vern dive into Hunter S. Thompson’s chaotic world through the lens of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Adapted to the big screen by Terry Giliam and starring Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke and Benicio Del Toro as Dr. Gonzo. From insane drug-fueled adventures to profound insights on society, Thompson’s work is more than just madness; it’s a mirror reflecting our own realities.

#12: The Graveyard Shift (0%)

There have been many adaptations of stories by Stephen King, but none have been rated as low as Graveyard Shift, with a 0 % score on Rotten Tomatoes.  This horror film ranks lower than Maximum Overdrive , film that King himself doesn't even remember making because he was so high on cocaine. Hosts, Donnie Roberts and The Vern brave the late nights at Rabbit Hole Podcast studios to review Stephen King's Graveyard Shift.  Pray they make it out alive.Check out all of our podcasts on our home website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rabbitholepodcasts.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support us by giving us a dollar! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/rabbitholepods⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Questions, comments, concerns?
