B.O.N.U.S. Kast #73: "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans OST" w/ Jarrett Campbell. Ooh boy, it's a late-era nu-metal-adjacent soundtrack that features Wes Borland and the bassist from Nine Inch Nails remixing a bunch of songs. What could go wrong?

Y'All Want a Single #115: "Old Friends Don't Mean Shit" by Weekend Nachos. Bryan and John learn about "powerviolence" as we cover the shortest song in YWAS history, clocking in at a lean and mean 38 seconds.

Episode 74: Dope's Podcast Episode Β· The P.O.D. Kast Β· 2025-10-06 Β· 2h 1m

Episode 74: Dope's "Felons and Revolutionaries", or a Band Who Are Neither of Those. We get some top-tier myth-making as we meet Dope, who are named that because they are drug dealers (?) who rode the Marilyn Manson wave of nu-metal to moderate success.

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #72: "Post-Human: Survival Horror" by Bring Me the Horizon. A band that certainly owes at least a little bit to nu-metal, we discuss our metalcore histories and how this band got so freaking huge. $4 for three bonuses a month!

Y'All Want a Single #113: "I Shot Lucifer" by Bionic Jive. One of the more rap-forward groups of the era, this album and song arrive 5 years too late with some of the most vague "guy says stuff to try to sound deep/political" lyrics we've ever covered.

Episode 73: (hed)pe's Podcast Episode Β· The P.O.D. Kast Β· 2025-09-05 Β· 2h 20m

Episode 73: (hed)pe's "(hed)pe", or Are You Sure About That? It's the debut album that makes a lot of choices that leave us saying "are you sure about that?" Plus, the Aaron Lewis/Springsteen thing, we review "private music", and a guy jacks off at a Korn show.

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #71: "The $UICIDEBOY$ Mix" w/ @libbycwatson.com. It's trap-metal time on the POD Kast as we turn into old men yelling at clouds over this deeply strange collection of songs. Well, Bryan is happily yelling at the cloud because he somehow likes it.

30 Seconds To Mars' Podcast Episode Β· The P.O.D. Kast Β· 2025-08-05 Β· 1h 47m

Episode 72: 30 Seconds To Mars' "30 Seconds To Mars", or How To Say a Lot Without Saying Anything At All. Jared Leto is here, and he's as dumb as we all hoped. Insane lyrics, even more insane interviews, and surprisingly, music that's kind of ok for an actor band.

Y'All Want a Single #110: "System" by Jonathan Davis. If Jonathan Davis records all the songs for a movie soundtrack but then his label won't let him be on the actual physical OST, does it make a sound? It does to us, as we review this QOTD soundtrack classic.

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #70: "12 Stones" by 12 Stones w/ @riviera.bsky.social. Riv is back to discuss Youth Group bands, artist substitution cards, and this painfully mid album that accomplishes almost nothing it sets out to do. Other than worship Jesus, I guess.

Y'All Want a Single #109: "Linda Claire" by Fleshwater. It's a new nu band that has toured with Deftones, which is more than enough to get us in the door. The song whips ass and so does talking about the Wu-Tang Clan farewell tour at length. $4 for 3 bonuses a month!

Episode 71: Slipknot's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" or Stories=Bullshit. Slipknot decides on a slight pop turn for their third record and indulges in the most egregious myth-making to date, which is crazy for a band whose entire thing is myth-making.
