Episode 299 – The Damned Are Playing at Godzilla’s Tonight




Radio Drama Revival show

Summary: Kicking off our fifth-annual month-long fright fright fest is a Seeing Ear Theatre original, The Damned are Playing at Godzilla's Tonight. This fresh, sizzling little haunter finds us at a run-down club in Los Angeles, where a repo-man comes to get the story out of the disheveled owner.  The harrowed man tells his story - and it is a story of racism in the music business, the haunting of living and dead, and a damn frightening tale of rock and roll. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, it is said: “For our first story, I wanted something with teeth, something that took one of the more common supernatural tropes and used it in a way that dealt with contemporary themes. It has kind of a Lovecraftian feel, starting at the end, then finding out how we got here, and why. Where else can you get all that *and* a commentary on the state of the music industry?” -JMS (Source: SFF Audio) Crew: Produced and Directed by Brian Smith Original Music Composed and Performed by Jeff Nostrand Sound Design by John Colucci Executive Producers Brian Smith and J.
