New Show Debuts on Lost Church Free Radio
Wednesday, September 7th
(and every Wednesday)
6-7pm PST
Hosted by Sean M. Sanford and Brian Robert Oliver
Anatomically Speaking is a Podcast about your favorite horror films.
These two very old, yet wise children, pick apart vital scenes in very iconic horror films, to give you a different perspective on movies that happily ruined your childhood.
Films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Se7en and Silence of the Lambs are gutted piece by piece to explore the ways their limbs, albeit amputated, help create the wonderful monsters that they are. Join us!
From Your Everlovin’ Editor
Hi there everybuddy,
As we approach 1 year of being open in Sonoma County I want to give a special shout out to our Santa Rosa friends and supporters for helping us grow and for keeping TLC active during this challenging time.
Today marks the start of our new chapter in San Francisco and we are energized and excited about the future of both theaters.
What kind of showcases do you want to see at TLC Santa Rosa as our 2nd year unfolds?
What types of performers are you eager to see at TLC San Francisco as we expand our horizons in North Beach?
Love,
Michele & The Lost Church
