Welcome back, cool cats, foxy ladies, and funkateers! Our SHOCKTOBER SPOOKTACULAR rolls on as Nubius Black and Johnny Deth tackle one of the wildest, weirdest, and most outrageous movies of the Blaxploitation era: The Thing with Two Heads (1972)! What happens when a dying, racist white millionaire has his head surgically attached to the body of a Black death-row inmate? You get a two-headed nightmare starring Ray Milland and Rosey Grier, featuring mad science, racial satire, a whole lot of police cars, and one of the most ridiculous premises ever committed to film! Directed by Lee Frost, this cult classic throws everything at the screen, including an unforgettable two-headed gorilla created with the help of a young makeup-effects wizard named Rick Baker. In this episode, we're talking about: 🎬 America in 1972 — the movies, music, politics, and cultural madness. 🧠 Ray Milland and Rosey Grier — the most unlikely buddy duo in cinema history. 🦍 Rick Baker's early monster-movie magic and that unforgettable gorilla. 🚓 Wild police chases, questionable science, and spectacularly bad decisions. ✊ Race, exploitation, and the surprisingly pointed social commentary hiding beneath all the insanity.

And enough material for two opinionated brothers to have a whole lot of fun! So grab your popcorn, straighten your platform shoes, and get ready to get funky! 🎙️ BLACK DETH 101 — Hosted by Nubius Black & Johnny Deth.

   THE BEAST MUST DIE (1974) | Black Horror, Werewolves & a Murder Mystery Black Deth 101 continues our annual Month of Black Horror with the wild 1974 British horror mystery The Beast Must Die. Calvin Lockhart stars as millionaire hunter Tom Newcliffe, who gathers a group of suspicious guests at his isolated estate because he believes one of them is a werewolf. His plan is simple: watch everyone, wait for the full moon—and hunt the beast. But this is no ordinary werewolf movie. The Beast Must Die mixes horror, mystery, action, Blaxploitation attitude, and the structure of an old-school whodunit. It even stops near the end for the famous “Werewolf Break,” giving the audience a chance to guess who the monster really is. Johnny Deth and Nubius Black get into: Calvin Lockhart and his commanding performance as Tom Newcliffe Peter Cushing doing what Peter Cushing does best The movie’s unusual blend of British horror and Blaxploitation The suspects, red herrings, and murder-mystery setup The legendary Werewolf Break The werewolf itself—and whether it actually works Amicus Productions and the state of horror movies in 1974 What America looked and sounded like when the film was released Why The Beast Must Die remains one of the strangest and most entertaining werewolf movies of the 1970s Is it a horror movie? A detective story? A Blaxploitation film? A country-house mystery with a werewolf running through it? The answer might be all of the above.
