S5. Episode 8. The Oath
<p>Chaz, Wolfy, Scott, Corey, and special guest <a href="https://shows.acast.com/school-of-hip" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Heath McCoy</strong></a> return once more to the crumbling, smoke-covered battlefield of Regarding Music from The Elder—this time under the banner of <strong>“The Oath.”</strong></p><p>And fittingly, absolutely nobody emerges emotionally intact.</p><p>What begins with discussions of “minimal editing,” accidental hot mics, and Boneless-grade production recklessness quickly spirals into one of the season’s most cinematic chapters yet: a full-scale supernatural reckoning involving telekinetic executions, airborne corpses, emotionally compromised heroes, collapsing belief systems, and enough purple energy blasts to bankrupt a mid-1980s special effects department.</p><p>Scott unveils the latest section of the ever-mutating Elder screenplay project, pushing the story fully into dark fantasy opera territory as Mr. Blackwell unleashes absolute devastation across the battlefield while Corey—bloodied, broken, and spiritually unraveling—comes face to face with the horrifying realization that maybe the Order of the Rose isn’t quite the noble institution everybody hoped it was.</p><p>Turns out “The Oath” may not be about loyalty at all.</p><p>It may be about what happens <strong>after</strong> loyalty curdles into resentment, manipulation, sacrifice, and generational trauma.</p><p>Fun stuff.</p><p>Meanwhile, Heath McCoy settles comfortably into the chaos as the panel collectively realizes they are no longer “doing a funny podcast about a weird KISS album.” They are now actively constructing a sprawling metaphysical war saga where Gene Simmons has somehow become a grief-stricken telekinetic warlord delivering Shakespearean monologues through clouds of black smoke.</p><p>And then…</p><p>because this season refuses to obey natural law…</p><p><a href="https://www.kevbrown.ca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Kevin Brown</strong></a><strong> materializes out of nowhere.</strong></p><p>What follows is one of the most unexpectedly beautiful moments of the entire series as Kevin delivers a theatrical reinterpretation of “A World Without Heroes,” transforming the panel from wisecracking commentators into genuinely stunned spectators. Comparisons fly somewhere between Daryl Hall, Broadway rock opera, and “the version KISS maybe should’ve recorded in the first place.”</p><p>Naturally, this leads directly into debates about Tommy, Quadrophenia, The Wall, theatrical ambition, and the creeping realization that Music from The Elder might actually have worked if the band had leaned harder into the weirdness instead of recoiling from it in terror.</p><p>Because if “The Oath” teaches us anything, it’s this:</p><p>Once you swear yourself to the bit…</p><p>there is no safe way back out.</p><p><br></p><h3>Featuring:</h3><ul><li>Mr. Blackwell going full cosmic vengeance demon</li><li>Corey enduring approximately seventeen separate emotional breakdowns</li><li>A battlefield sequence with enough destruction to qualify as progressive rock Braveheart</li><li>Kevin Brown unexpectedly stealing the entire episode with one song</li><li>Heath McCoy calmly observing the collapse of reality in real time</li></ul><h3>THIS WEEK’S SONG:</h3><p>“The Oath” — KISS</p><p><br></p><h3>FINAL VERDICT:</h3><p>Not a discussion of The Elder.</p><p><strong>An oath-bound descent into full-blown mythological podcast theater.</strong></p><p><strong>The Show</strong></p><p>In this season of <strong>Regarding…</strong>, the panel tackles KISS’s Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny. Alongside the analysis, Scott D. Monroe’s original screenplay tries to turn the album’s abstract mythology into an actual story.</p><p>Ambition meets accountability.</p><br><p><strong>GO BONELESS</strong></p><p>Certified boneless in the state of Ohio by the <a href="https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boneless Podcasting Network</a>.

<p>This week on Regarding Music from The Elder, Chaz, Wolfy, Scott, Corey, and special guests <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mixtapes-from-hell/id1886982007&ved=2ahUKEwjE6PKSlLeUAxV3JEQIHaG2A50QFnoECBkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3rBsDCFWnaZAbRWglkL8u4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dan & Pang Pappathopoulos</a> stumble headfirst into <strong>“Dark Light”</strong>—where the screenplay somehow becomes more unhinged, Mr. Blackwell starts sounding like a cosmic war prophet, and absolutely nobody can agree whether the Elder are enlightened guardians… or interdimensional HR managers from hell.</p><p>Meanwhile:</p><ul><li>Corey discovers the Order of the Rose may have built its entire business model on manipulation and disposable messiahs</li><li>A creepy fox-man appears out of nowhere singing Ace Frehley lyrics like a haunted alley goblin</li><li>An owl creature eats multiple soldiers onscreen</li><li>Sypha drops a revelation massive enough to shatter the whole mythology</li><li>Heath McCoy accidentally channels Randy Savage hard enough to threaten reality itself</li></ul><p>And through it all, the panel continues the impossible task of adapting Music from The Elder into an actual coherent cinematic universe… one cease-and-desist at a time.</p><p><br></p><h3>THIS WEEK’S SONG:</h3><p>“Dark Light” — KISS</p><p>(with unexpected assistance from Ace Frehley, alleyway goblins, and purple lightning)</p><h3>FINAL VERDICT:</h3><p>Not a rock opera anymore.</p><p><strong>A full-blown fantasy franchise fueled entirely by commitment to the bit.</strong></p><p><strong>The Show</strong></p><p>In this season of <strong>Regarding…</strong>, the panel tackles KISS’s Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny.

S5. Episode 6. Seb Hunter And His Elder Movie (Trailer...)
<p>Scott and the assembled Order of Mildly Concerned Scholars (Wolfie… and special guest <a href="https://provincials.bandcamp.com/album/ascending-summer-ep" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seb Hunter</a>, emerging from the fog like a man who’s seen what lies beyond the fourth gate of The Elder) convene for what was supposed to be a routine episode and instead becomes something far stranger: an encounter.</p><p>Because this week isn’t just about Music from The Elder.</p><p>It’s about a man who looked at that album—its ambition, its confusion, its audacity—and decided the real problem wasn’t that it failed…it’s that no one had finished the job.</p><p>What follows is less an interview and more a careful excavation of a long-dormant creative experiment. Scott and Wolfie guide the conversation as Seb Hunter recounts, with equal parts clarity and disbelief, how a throwaway idea—“what if someone actually made The Elder into a movie?”—mutated into a full-blown production effort:</p><ul><li>A screenplay written in earnest</li><li>A trailer shot with real actors and real intention</li><li>A grassroots network of collaborators, fans, and the occasional internet wildcard</li><li>And a persistent awareness that somewhere, possibly, Gene Simmons could shut the whole thing down with a single phone call</li></ul><p>Seb is reflective, candid, and occasionally amused by his past self—the version of him who thought, quite reasonably at the time, that you could just… make a movie. The hosts, for their part, oscillate between fascination and the dawning realization that they are speaking with someone who got closer to solving The Elder than anyone ever should.</p><p>There is talk of ambition.</p><p>Of creative delusion (the productive kind).</p><p>Of the brutal math of filmmaking—where passion is abundant and money is not.</p><p>Because if The Elder taught KISS anything, and if this project teaches us anything now, it’s this:</p><p>You can build the world.</p><p>You can write the script.</p><p>You can even gather the fellowship.</p><p>But eventually…</p><p>someone has to pay for the horses.</p><br><p>Seb's band - The Provincials - check out their video here</p><p><strong>The Show</strong></p><p>In this season of <strong>Regarding…</strong>, the panel tackles KISS’s Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny. Alongside the analysis, Scott D. Monroe’s original screenplay tries to turn the album’s abstract mythology into an actual story.</p><p>Ambition meets accountability.</p><br><p><strong>GO BONELESS</strong></p><p>Certified boneless in the state of Ohio by the <a href="https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boneless Podcasting Network</a>.
