Satan Is My Superhero

In this episode we dress up like we’re in a Mad Max movie, strap on a comically ridiculous codpiece and dive head first into the world where shock rock meets glam rock in the form of the legendary metal band W.A.S.P. In the same way Lemmy is Motorhead, Blackie Lawless is Wasp. So maybe more accurately we will be diving face first into Blackie’s comically ridiculous codpiece. Blackie grew up in Florida and New York in the 60s and considered following his uncle into a career in professional baseball. But it was the stage that called young Lawless and he learned to play guitar.

In this episode we will investigate the mysterious world of Vocaloid. What is it? Why is it? And most importantly, does it upset Chri$tians? Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer program launched by the Yamaha Corporation in 2004. This software allows users to synthesize human singing by typing in the lyrics, much like text to speech. Each voicebank was modelled after professional singers and each voice bank has a custom avatar. Each voice has an animated character that goes along with that voice. For example there are Kagamine Len and Rin who are twins with yellow hair. Then there’s Megurine Luka who has long pink hair and is very elegant. The most popular Vocaloid character is Hatsune Miku. A sixteen year old girl with long blue pigtails. She has become the defining icon of the Vocaloid phenomena. When you think of Vocaloid, and I’m sure you do as often as I do, you think of Hatsune Miku. This episode contains weird marriages, disappointing performances and ghosts!

In this episode we peak into the white hot Christian outrage around Taylor Swift and hope we don’t go blind. What are they so mad? Taylor Swift is simply the biggest popstar on the planet. The biggest we’ve seen in a long time. As a woman of wealth, power and influence she terrifies misogynists and makes their tiny little claims to manhood shrivel up. Also appearing in this episode - Travis Kelce, Joseph Jackson, Church of Satan, Anton LaVey, Zeena Schreck, Joe Rogan, Willow, Evermore, The Supernatural Life Ministry, Daniel Adam, Vlad Savchuk, YouTube, christofacist, Hank Kunneman, Kansas City Chiefs, Georgia, Kandiss Taylor, Jesus, Guns, & Babies, The Voice of the People Media, Barack Hussein Obama, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, Jean Carroll, Leftists, Eras Tour, Nashville, exorcist, Father Dan Reehil, Shane Lynch, Boyzone, NFL Superbowl, New York, Ice Spice, Tomi Lahren, Fox News, Black Entertainment Television, Sean Feucht, Tumblr, YALLAREBRUTALIZINGME, marijuana, Bitch-Pudding, Dundermiflin, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tom Hiddleston, LGBT, Pastor Kevin Swanson, LGBTQ+, New York Times, Anna Marks, Lesbian Visibility Day, LGBTQI+, women’s rights, abortion, sexual harassment, gun control, Black Lives Matter, Liberal Psyop #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #ConspiracyTheory #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk #feminism #LGBT #LGBTQIA+ #TayTay

In this episode we will look at one of English literature’s greatest names, the Romantic Poet, Lord Byron. It is claimed outside of the U.K. he is the second most read British author behind Shakespeare. We first mentioned Byron in our second episode, Science Fiction Satan, where we quoted contemporary poet Robert Southey who dubbed Byron and his good friend Percy Shelley as ‘The Satanic School’. Southey claimed their work was, ‘characterised by a Satanic spirit of pride and audacious impiety.’ Add to Southey’s glowing endorsement, there is of course the more famous quote about Byron from Lady Caroline Lamb who called him, ‘Mad, bad and dangerous to know.’ Then there’s his work, poems and plays about the apocalypse, angels of death, vampires, defying the gods, a tribute to Dante’s inferno, Lucifer and St Peter litigating over a King of England at the very gates of Heaven, an ode to Napoleon, likening him to our favourite disrupter, the witch of Endor from first Samuel, the devil’s drive or the story of Cain told from the point of view of murderous Cain himself. After all of that, how could I resist doing an episode about this man? There are cameo guest appearances by The Young and the Restless, Forrest Gump, Joel Olsteen, Alexander the Great, William the Conqueror, John ‘Foul Weather Jack’ Byron, Don Juan, Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, John ‘Captain Mad Jack’ Byron, Marchioness of Carmarthen, Amelia Osborne, Catherine Gordon, George Gordon Byron, William Chaworth, Harrow Vs Eton Cricket match, Trinity College at Cambridge, William Fletcher, Hellespont, Greece, Dardanelles, Swimming World Magazine, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Clara Claremont, Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Switzerland, Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus, Elvis, John Polidore, The Vampire, Bram Stoker, Dracula, John Milton, Darth Vader, Wolverine, The Phantom of the Opera, Venice, Ottomans, Thomas Moore, #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #ConspiracyTheory #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk #poetry

In this episode we will seek and destroy the four horsemen, join the metal militia, hit the lights, jump in the fire and hope we don’t get whiplash from our phantom lord who has no remorse and motorbreath. That’s right! It’s Metallica’s debut album, Kill em All. Find out how a in the late 70s and early 80s a teenaged Danish tennis pro, living in L.A. was going to heavy metal shows all over the world and getting himself backstage went from fan to rockstar.

In this episode we’re going pre Jesus, we’re going to the second century BCE, we’re going to a Hellenistic king at his peak at the peak of the Hellenistic Period. We’re on a journey to find the O.G. template for THE ANTICHRIST! You know, the one who comes at the end for the final battle with Jesus. We are going to take a comedic look at the atrocities carried out in Jerusalem by the Seleucid king, Antiochus IV Epiphanes. This one individual had his hand in inspiring the Book of Daniel, First and Second Maccabees, Hanukkah, Hellenising the holy city, ultimately paving the way for Christ and ironically setting himself up as the blueprint for THE ANTICHRIST! Our story will feature guest appearances from Donald Trump, Jon Stewart, Alexander the Great, Macedon, Seleucus I Nicator, the Middle East, Roman Empire, Roman Republic, Rome, Romans, Seleucus IV Philopator, Demetrius, Mithradates, Zeus, Egypt, Jason, Menalaus, Ptolemy VIII, Gaius Popillius Laenas, Alexandria, Josephus, Judean People’s Front, Diodorus, foreskin restoration device, Israelites, Bible, Little Horn, King of the North, Cersei, Antigonus, Lysimachus, Iran, Syria and Nanaya.

In this episode we will go back to a time before the songs of Anglo Saxons and Vikings, Alexander the Great and Darius III or Frank Herbert’s Dune. Ace pilots, tail gunners, commandos and submariners. We’re going back before all that to the middle of the punk explosion. Playing the toughest East London pubs, Iron Maiden had to work blue. The songs were about sex pests, sex workers, spending the night in jail and the Opera. According to legend, Steve Harris formed Iron Maiden on Christmas Day 1975 and that is where our story will begin. This epic tale will feature guest appearances and name drops like Ash Mountain (don’t worry, you’ll know who that is by the end of the episode) Metallica, Black Sabbath, Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics, medieval torture devices, longswords, longbows, crossbows, chain mail, Punk’d, Togo Navy, Spaceward Studios, Paul Di’Anno, Dave Murray, The Bandwagon, The Soundhouse Tapes, E.M.I., Wishbone Ash, Martin Birch, Guy Edwards, Andy Scott, Wil Malone, Martin Levan, Kingsway Studios, Prowler, Remember Tomorrow, Running Free, Phantom of the Opera, Lars Ulrich, Fade to Black, Sanitarium, Transylvania, Strange World, Charlotte the Harlot, Paul Mario Day, Bruce Dickinson, Eddie, Derek Riggs, Electric Matthew Says Hello, Top of the Pops, YouTube, Clive Burr, Dennis Stratton, Adrian Smith, Urchin, Taipei, Kiss, The Eagles, Tears for Fears, Motely Crue, Hawkwind, Miss Universe Beauty Pageant.

In this episode we dive back into the madness that is the Christian Bible and fart gag our way through the second chapter of the Book of Revelation. John of Patmos is having a psychological breakdown/writing a letter to seven churches in modern day Turkey, claiming this letter may be in John’s handwriting but the content comes directly from the mouth of the lord Jesus Christ himself. John will explain to the church of Ephesus just how much the ultimate creator god of the entire universe is upset about a wife swapping cult of Nicolaitanes. John explains quantum physics to the church in Smyrna and proves once and for all Jesus is Schrodinger’s Cat. John doxes Satan’s home in Pergamon. And among the church in Thyatira, we finally meet, Jezebel! And she does not disappoint. She repented not! Is this book prophecy of a future still to come? Is this book a coded message of rebellion for the early Chri$tian freedom fighters in their struggle with the Roman Empire? Is this book xenophobic propaganda to stop Hellenising? Who cares? It’s got Hell, Armageddon, Antipas, the brazen bull, Zeus, Balaam, Balac, the children of Israel, Canaanites, angels, a talking donkey, fornication, Motorhead and Lemmy! Grab your popcorn people. John is just getting started. #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science #History #Atheism #ConspiracyTheory #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk #HeavyMetal #RomanEmpire #Rome #AncientRome #Romans #RomanEmperor

In this episode we travel south of heaven where Hell awaits to spend seasons in the abyss and reign in blood with our undisputed attitude that God hates us all in the Chri$t illusion. Without divine intervention we see a world painted blood in repentless diabolus musica and tell the story of Slayer’s debut album, Show No Mercy. In 1981 Huntington Park California guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman met at an audition and realised they were into the same stuff. Living only just around the corner was like-minded bass player and singer Tom Araya. All they needed to create the loudest, heaviest, fastest and most satany band ever was a double kickarse drummer. Then suddenly there was a knock at Kerry King’s door. 16 year old Dave Lombardo had been told there was another long haired disreputable type in the area. So the plucky, pizza delivery man went and introduced himself. The original, the classic and the most persistent line up was complete. We will pick up the story there and tell you how that debut album came to be. There will be cameo guest star appearances from Bitch, Metal Blade Records, Iron Maiden, Phantom of the Opera. Aggressive Perfector, Metal Blade, Tracks Studio, Evil has no Boundaries, Gene Hoglan, Dark Angel, Death, Testament, Devin Townsend, Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory, Genghis Kahn, New Wave of British Heavy Metal, NWoBHM, Venom, Welcome to Hell, Minotaur, Lawrence R.

In this extra special mini episode I hope to whet your appetite, pique your interest and get you all round excited about the upcoming roster of shows we have planned for your 2024. We've got a weirdly wholesome episode about the Slayer album, Show No Mercy. We will be delving back into The Book of Revelation. We'll shine the spotlight on the almighty Iron Maiden. Up the irons! We investigate the O.G. antichrist, Antiochus IV Epiphanes. We're doing Metallica, Lord Bryon, WASP, Constantine, Danzig and Pat Robertson. And that's just the first half of the year.

In this episode we look back on favourite sketches of 2023, as chosen Tee Tease. You are about to have the most fun you've ever had. By the end of this episode you will realise you've only been imitating fun your whole life. If I were you, I would take off my pants. You’re about to shit yourself. There are sketches from Highway to Hell, the tale of ACDC’s first taste of global success. In Cross Road Blues, the story behind the Ralph Macchio vehicle of the same name and some Robert Johnson guy, we did a sketch featuring cultural icon Bob Dylan. Judas Iscariot: True Hero of Easter, featured some classic white guy rapping. We call that wrapping. And ‘The Duke’ John Wayne makes an appearance. We gave Charles Manson a starring role in Helter Skelter and let spoon bending grifter Uri Gellar in Pokémon. Our episode about Motley Crue’s Shout at the Devil came with monkey poo. We almost let Benny sing in Benny Hinn: He Touched Me. We had Sympathy For The Devil AND Artificial Intelligence but we left behind Kirk Cameron and Kevin Sorbo. Welcome to Hell featured all the best names, Judas Priest, Venom, Jesus Chri$t, Mantas, Titans, Gaia, Father Sky, Cronos, Abbadon and Alan Winston. Michael Aquino and Anton LaVey found themselves in an H.P. Lovecraft nightmare. In Black Sabbath, Toni Iommi and Geezer Butler discussed the song writing process. The Book of Revelation had a water skiing joke. The Witches of Shakespeare got Elizabeth I swearing like Witchfinder General Mathew Hopkins. We learn the very best evidence is forced confession in The Salem Witch Trials and Cotton Mather. Lexi’s performance as a drunk Ursula from The Little Mermaid in Disney Witches is hilarious. In Jesus Christ Superstar we learn what helps the poo go down. Information we could have used back in the Shout at the Devil episode. Genshin Impact featured therapy. We have some white woman rapping. We call that wrapping also because cultural appropriation does not recognize gender boundaries. And it couldn’t be considered a best of anything without Marjorie Taylor Greene so we let her on to swear at us. #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science History #Atheism #ConspiracyTheory #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk

In this episode we will finish 2023 in exactly the same way we ended 2022. Huddled in a corner crying. It couldn’t possibly get any worse. Right? We’ll check in with credulous former intelligence official David Grusch testifying to a congressional hearing into, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. #UAP Grusch claims he was told things he would not talk about by people he could not name. So the internet lit up with the headline, Aliens exist! Also this year, the Barbie movie was released and a tiny little piece of Jesus died. We’ll hear what hate preachers and 1950s haircut enthusiasts Kent Christmas and Ivan Tuttle told their congregations. We wonder out loud, ‘What would Margot Robbie do?’ We get an update on the latest in the world of autism from Rick Morrow. It’s not good. #neurodivergent How can we not talk about the Hamas attack on Israel in October and the end times? The head of the Harvest Chri$tian Fellowship in California, Greg Laurie will keep us up to date with the latest in geopolitics. And we examine some prophecies from Kat Kerr. You’ll be surprised to hear what Kat has been told by the Holy Ghost. And we’ll round out the year with a Satanic Temple display in the Iowa State Capitol building in Des Moines. We faced many existential threats in 2023. Alien invasion, autistic invasion, LGBTQ+ invasion, along with a plastic dolls that come to life and don’t like the patriarchy invasion, and maybe Kathy Barnette’s Jesus saved us from all of them. You’ll have to listen to find out. #SketchComedy #Sketch #Comedy #Sketch Comedy #Atheist #Science History #Atheism #ConspiracyTheory #Sceptical #Scepticism #Mythology #Religion #Devil #Satan #Skeptic #Debunk Sauces https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/barbie-demonic-faith-leaders-say-children-risk-kevin-baris https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/missouri/article279280609.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12616631/Fasten-seatbelts-California-pastor-suggests-Hamas-terror-attack-Israel-predicted-2-500-YEARS-AGO-Scripture-End-Time-events-circling-Jerusalem.html https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/11/christian-prophetess-made-up-the-wackiest-theory-about-why-some-people-are-lgbtq/ https://www.revealingheaven.com/about-the-author/ https://who13.com/news/iowa-satanic-temple-display-at-capitol-sparks-mixed-emotions/

In this episode we wrap up the first half of 2023 with a look at the times an ancient Middle Eastern demon entered our 21st century news cycle. Through the lens of sketch comedy and the occasional song we laugh our way through the ‘current events’ of 2023 and try to figure out why the devil is still a thing. Through the magic of audio illusions we will transport you to the annual Passion Conference in Atlanta Georgia. We’ll observe a celebration of the love of Jesus with thousands of evangelical university students. We’ll meet ex lesbian, drug abuser who grew up confused about her gender and was addicted to pornography turned Chri$tian author, rapper and poet Jackie Hill Perry and hear her thoughts about the reality of demons. Sit back and relax as self-proclaimed Gender Queer Non Binary Gay English singer Sam Smith takes to the Grammy Awards stage with openly transgender German woman Kim Petras to perform their hit song, ‘Unholy’. I wonder if anyone will get upset? And in completely unrelated news we’ll meet Conservative podcaster Liz Wheeler, Republican senator Ted Cruz, failed republican candidate for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District and former music video director, Robby Starbuck Newsom and crazy person Marjorie Taylor Greene. It can’t all be as much fun as Sam Smith and Kim Patras, we’ll also have a hilarious peek into the Morbid Angel tragedy at the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere Illinois that took the life of Fred Livingston Jr. I wonder if anyone tried to exploit that for personal gain? In unrelated news this episode will also feature a cameo appearance from Artificial Intelligence 2: Electric Boogaloo star Leo Zagami. But then it’s straight back into atheists making Chri$tians look dumb with The Satanic Temple’s Satancon in Boston. And related to my use of the word ‘dumb’ in the sentence above, we will meet MAGA Christo-Fascist and permed hair enthusiast Sean Feucht. Then it’s on to Chri$tians scaring the rest of us again with a trip to the Chri$tian nationalist event ReAwaken America at Miami’s Trump National Doral Hotel. Where just two weeks before the release of the live action version of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, hate preacher Amanda Grace gives us the skinny on technologically advanced mermaids working for Satan. If you were wondering what did MTG tell that Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Conference? We’ve got you covered. It’s about the devil and reproductive rights and it’s brilliant. It’s MTG. What else is it going to be?

In this episode we dip back into the world of Asian video games. That’s right another episode suggested and researched by my kids. Luckily for us these games do tend to have a penchant for upsetting good honest narrow minded white chri$tians just trying to get through their day without experiencing anything new. If you’re old enough to remember Carly Rae Jepsen, you might just be wondering, what is a Genshin Impact? It’s only the fastest money making video game of all time. Released in 2020 by Chinese games company miHoYo, Genshin Impact is an action role play anime game set in an open world. But why do we care on Satan is my Superhero? Well it’s full of gods named after ‘real life’ demons carrying out all types of witchcraft, sorcery, divination, necromancy and there’s even a good helping of idol worshipping, so yeah, it’s blasphemy central and some Chri$tian gamers have raised concerns. The game has also been drawn into a transphobic witch hunt, so that’s a good sign it’s worth checking out. This episode also includes guest appearances from Pokémon, Phil Arms, Barbatos, Morax, Bue, Paimon, Ba’al, Beelzebub, Adam, Eve, Gabriel, Evelyn Gonzales, Michigan, Grant Middle School, Xiao, Guizhong, Liyue, Katelyn Thompson, Danielle Beight, Tracy Hargreaves, Kotaku, Sisi Jiang.

In this episode we will tell the story of a long haired hippy with a dream to do something spectacular. With the help of his talented friends and against the powers of the land he made that dream into a reality. Then thousands of years later 2 middle class British toffs turned that story into a multi hundred million dollar enterprise with a Hollywood film, a lavish stage show and the epitome of 70s culture the concept double album. How did a 24 year old Tim Rice, an assistant producer in the record industry and 21 year old composer Andrew Lloyd Webber end up with a hit single, hit album, hit stage show and hit movie? And how was this potentially blasphemous production received by the Chri$tian world?

In this episode we look at how an evil 1st century apocalyptic blood cult that secretly and not so secretly controls much of our lives with its over represented influence on media and politics is terrified of Disney. After the spooky month we’ve had it's time for a fun family friendly palate cleanser. If you look for lists of Disney witches you will find there is somewhere in the region of 140 of them. Disney had already created an impressive catalogue of witches by the time the company embarked on its first feature length film, so it came as no surprise their first feature length film antagonist would be a witch. Which is where we start our list of cameo special guest stars like The Evil Queen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Magic mirror on the wall, American Film Institute, Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs, Barbie, Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist, The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, Lucille La Verne, Babes in the Woods, Hansel and Gretel, Brother’s Grimm, Ursula, the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, Ariel, Eve, Garden of Eden, Bea Arthur, Rosanne Barr, Elaine Stritch, Pat Carroll, Shakespeare, Devine, Deborah Bunting, The Owl House, Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, American Family Association, One Million Moms, Jamie Gooch, Ron Desantis, Vanessa Hudgens, Dead Hot: Season of the Witch, GG Magree, Salem, Bounding Into Comics, Jacob Smith, High School Musical and Kevin Sorbo on the comeback trail.

In this episode we return to a former subject of this podcast, Cotton Mather and tear another chapter from his life story. We first met Cotton in the episode, A Pox to You, where Cotton was the voice of reason, the man of science who stood up to superstitious misgivings and disinformation. He was, not to put too finer point on it, the hero of that story. So how does our man of science and reasoning acquit himself at the Salem Witch Trials? Spoiler alert. Not good. This episode features special guest star appearances from Richard Mather, John Cotton, Harvard University, Doogie Howser, Anne ‘Goody’ Glover, Martha Goodwin, Thomas Oakes, Abigail Williams, Elizabeth Parris, Massachusetts, Ann Putnam Jr, Arthur Miller, The Crucible, Susanna Wallcott, Doctor Griggs, George Burroughs, Robert Calef, William Phips, Dorothy Good, Sarah Good, Margret Atwood, Handmaid’s Tale, Peter Miller, Samuel Sewell and Danvers.

In this true crime special episode we delve into the sickening tale of one of the U.K’s most successful serial killers, Matthew Hopkins the self-proclaimed Witchfinder General. Between 1644 and 1646 Hopkins may have murdered as many as three hundred people under the guise of doing the lord’s work. Hopkins is a fascinating individual and hundreds of historians have written thousands of pages about him. Just go online and there is a plethora of information about him and his life before, during and after his one and half year reign of terror. But he hasn’t had the Satan is my Superhero treatment yet! This episode contains special guest star appearances from Manningtree, The Chelmsford Witch Trials, John Stearne, Edward Parsley, Frances Mills, Mary Phillips, John Gaule, John Lowes, Kenneth Copeland, Graves Hollow and their debut album Thrones of Decay.

In this episode we will finally get to the WITCHES of Shakespeare’s Macbeth! Because of course, let us not forget it is our Spooky Month Special! The witches are in fact the very first characters to appear onstage. Act 1, Scene 1, A Desert Place. The trio speak in a different rhythm to everyone else in the play. This allows their vocal performance to sell their otherworldliness. Described by Shakespeare as weyward sisters in the first folio, refer to my excellent description of what the first folio is, in the last episode. These ladies are from the Upside Down. They’re from Bizarro World. They come from a place where evil is good and good is evil. Despite all the evidence I provided in the last episode, I can still legitimately argue these weyward sisters are witches complete with withered in wild attire and facial hair!

In this episode we dig around in the garage to find the plastic storage tub filled with Halloween decorations and cover the house in them for the next 31 day of our Spooky month special. It’s witches bitches! That's right for the next 5 Tuesdays in a row we will be delving into the wicked world of witchcraft. We kick spooky month off as we mean to go on and dive right into the witches of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Shakespeare never calls the 3 sisters in Macbeth, witches. The source material that inspired him to write the play never calls them witches. They might not be witches. So if Shakespeare didn't call them witches, what did he call them and where does that leave us? Of the many plays he wrote Macbeth is one of the most famous. The Tragedie of Macbeth was first performed in 1606. While the play is based on real historical people, Duncan, Macbeth and Malcolm really were kings of the Scots. The play does not necessarily follow the actual events. Shakespeare uses the plot of Macbeth to create a cautionary tale for any would be usurper looking to dethrone any rightful monarch. Oh and coincidentally, Shakespeare’s employer/patron at the time WAS the ‘rightful’ monarch of England. This employer was also massively into the hunting and killing of witches. So yeah. Episode features cameos from John Heminge, Henry Condell, The First Folio, Holinshed’s Chronicles is a comprehensive history of England, Scotland and Ireland, Simon Forman, The Globe Theatre, London and Macbeth.
