A loose year-end horror chat where Mad Love's cult afterlife meets childhood fandom.
Rock Show episode 221 uses its year-end ritual as a relaxed movie pairing, setting the recent Netflix Frankenstein alongside the 1935 cult classic Mad Love.

Rock talk with cult-movie side roads.
Getting lumped Up runs on long-table conversation: music talk, film memories, political arguments, and crime stories passed back and forth. The mood can shift from warm tribute to sharp rant without losing its neighborhood-bar rhythm.

Getting lumped Up is not a tidy niche show. It is a long-running, talk-heavy feed where rock history, cult film, politics, and crime stories all sit under the same roof. The core sound is conversational and stubbornly informal. Rocker Mike and Rob Rossi often move through a subject by remembering, correcting, comparing, and arguing their way toward a take. A year-end rock show can become a tribute to Roxanne Fontana, with Matt Shriver talking through her creative process, her singles, and the psychedelic reach of Phantasmagorgy. A music interview with Gil McLean can turn into a practical conversation about Beatles influence, collaboration, lost recordings, and knowing when a song finally lands. The Rock Show episodes favor artists with history attached. Nick Cave gets framed through The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds, Peaky Blinders covers, Lydia Lunch, Johnny Cash fandom, and the long path from lukewarm first impressions to deeper respect. Psychobilly gets treated as rockabilly's stranger, more extreme cousin, with The Cramps as a touchstone. The movie episodes bring in Scott the Clown for annual year-end discussions, pairing recent releases with older cult titles like Mad Love. These sections are funny, nerdy, and memory-driven, the kind of film talk where a school-library horror book can matter as much as box-office history. The feed also has sharper side rooms. I Am Right episodes add Eric and Knowledge for political argument about New York elections, immigration enforcement, public violence, and the way people react online. Truth Behind the Crime turns more serious, bringing in Frank DiGennaro and Maria for a Wendy Savino and Son of Sam-related discussion shaped by personal correspondence and belief. Across formats, the show keeps the same habit: start with a topic, wander through the evidence, then let opinion and memory roughen the edges. It suits listeners who prefer human sprawl over polished recap. The recurring closing line reinforces the clubhouse quality. Getting lumped Up is best understood as a personality-driven archive of obsessions: records, horror, politics, crime, friends, losses, and arguments that keep circling back.
Made for: Best for listeners who like informal, opinionated conversations about rock history, cult horror, politics, and true crime. It fits people who enjoy tangents, corrections, and strong personal takes more than polished narrative structure.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by letting separate formats share the same conversational bloodstream: Rock Show deep cuts, I Am Right arguments, and true-crime interviews all carry the same rough, familiar rhythm. It feels less like programming blocks and more like recurring rooms in one ongoing clubhouse.
