NEWTRONS DO IT BETTER: # 17 Max Headroom Incident & Mr. Robot
Back in 1987, a man in a Max Headroom mask, hijacked two Chicago broadcast signals (WGN; WTTW) and creeped the hell out of Chicago for a little over a minute. We discuss the incident and try to understand it's purpose. We then get into USA Networks new show Mr. Robot and we finish this episode off with a story about a birthday party to avoid. Thanks for listening fellow Newtrons!
We just took Newtrons to the next level. Our conversation with author Alexai Galaviz-Budziszewski was so chill and enlightening. The guy is genuinely cool and he opened up to us about his music prefer
We endorse a candidate for the Chicago mayoral race and have a special guest from a place far, far away to express his own support for a specific candidate. We then get into why 2005 was a great year for music, Washed Out at a Halloween party and dibs. Thanks for listening!
Newtrons Broke the Internet #5: 2015 Edition. So the first episode of the new year is here and we have yet another guest with us. This time around it's Rafa Andrade. We have a cerebal roundtable discussion on whether Chicago gives two shits about Morrissey. Needless to say Jaime Nevarez and myself, have our money on New Order and Depeche Mode. Rafa then enlightens us on Aaron's Greatest Hits. We finish it off with Rafa's and Jaime's trip to Nola Town. Luckily no one came back with crabs. Thanks Rafaleux Andrade for coming on the show and lending us another track! Everyone else, thanks for clicking and listening. Enjoy!
Newtrons Broke the Internet is on it's 4th episode. We have a guest with us this time around as we cover the K-Town/Chi-Town rivarly, Louis CK's Bang-Bang and Da Bulls.
This is the official premiere of the podcast show Newtrons Broke the Internet. It's a conversation amongst two friends living in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood covering a multitude of subjects related to lifestyle and culture and kinds of shit in between.
neWtrons broke the internet * coming soon * busted steps style * it's a podcast you need to listen to since forever * dont know who to credit for this picture but it's badass
For all the creeps out there... how can horror be this much fun? Romero directing... King playing the weirdest grass monster you'll ever see... Danson buried in sand... Nielsen wearing the dopest Fred Perry jump suit of all time. And of course, diabolical roaches crawling out of a mad man's orifice. There was also something about a hidden chest or something or other. Classic. BTW, I know the reaper image is from the sequal. Get over it.
Ho Ho Ho! Merry Halloween you creeps!

Tiny Terrors of the '80s
Throughout the 80’s they populated Video Rodeo, my childhood video rental store. In what was a dimly lit space with several rows of narrow aisles, the horror section was one of my greatest fears. The aisle was barely two feet wide and crammed wall to wall with grotesque images on VHS cardboard boxes that hung by velco strips. From my ankles to the ceiling, the aisle was consumed with every conceivable horror film distributed on VHS. Although there was the essential nightmare stalking monster and the machete wielding hockey masked killer, it was the tiny terrors that brought me that jolt of fun and fear. Sure these little monsters existed in the past and have continued since this era, but what was it about the 1980’s that created an abundance of this horror sub-genre?
Here are the ones that kept me checking under my bed every night:
Ghoulies
Just the poster alone of the green goblin sticking its head out of a toilet bowl was the equivalent of a massive killer shark’s fin sticking out of the water. I refused to use the washroom for days.
Critters (1986)
Not only are you getting disgusting, fur covered, shit grinning rodents from outer space, but also a duo of shape-shifting bounty hunters that are tracking them down. The VHS cover art didn’t want to hide the physical imagery of these creatures. They are candidly displayed, staring and grinning right back at you. In just pure sadistic nastiness, these Critters can go head to head with the Gremlins.
The Gate (1987)
The VHS cover art had the demons starting to crawl out of the ground as their beady eyes lurked in the shadows. It wasn’t very frightening, hence why I most likely rented it. However once these demon freaks sprung up, they caught me off guard. These little monsters were butt naked, hairless and traveled in packs. Sure the gremlins were quite similar, but the fact these pint sized monsters had a human-fleshy look to them made it all the more gruesome.
Child’s Play (1988)
Chucky is perhaps the best of the lot. It’s not exactly a direct criticism of American consumerism ala Dawn of the Dead, but it certainly emphasizes the exhaustive toy market that consumed youth culture throughout the ‘80’s. There’s a reason Chucky looks like a Cabbage Patch Doll. The sequel’s cover art is Chucky with a large pair of scissors about to cut off the head of a traditional childhood jack-in-the-box. Looks like the new wave of toys were a lot more dangerous (brainwashing?) than anyone imagined.
Puppet Master (1989)
By the time we reached the late 80’s, the little monsters that were aliens and/or demons were now becoming a variation of toys or as in Puppet Master, a new breed of action figures like toys. The VHS cover art for this film featured demonic looking dolls with weapon accessories in a carrying case. What child wasn’t familiar with this concept? At this point one has to wonder who’s fears were being expressed with these type of films. I believe this sub-genre was moving away from the outrageously fun concept of tiny terrors and into a self-critical and fear based analysis of the responsibility of caring for a child and their (monstrous?) needs.
it climbed to the tip of her finger and she smiled... It stood up and reached for my hand. She placed it on my palm and just like with her, it was now climbing it's way up to the tip of my finger back to her... but I didn't notice, I couldn't stop looking at her smile
