Show Notes
The Attack Dragon (Draco ferox) is a large, obligate quadrupedal dragon distinguished by a dense, osteoderm-reinforced hide and an elongated cranial structure optimized for both intimidation and prey capture. The skull supports a double row of recurved, serrated teeth that are continuously replaced throughout the animal’s life, while a heavily muscled neck allows for powerful lateral strikes. Its wings, though capable of sustained flight, are proportionally thicker than those of migratory dragon species, favoring explosive takeoff and short, violent aerial engagements. Internally, D. ferox possesses a highly efficient cardiopulmonary system and a specialized foregut chamber lined with heat-resistant tissue, enabling the ignition and controlled expulsion of volatile gases used primarily for combat rather than hunting.
Dietarily, Draco ferox is a hypercarnivorous apex predator, feeding almost exclusively on large terrestrial megafauna and rival dragons. It is an ambush hunter, relying on territorial familiarity and burst aggression rather than endurance pursuit. Mating behavior is infrequent and highly ritualized; breeding seasons occur once every several decades, typically following periods of environmental stress that reduce population density. Courtship is violently competitive, with males engaging in lethal dominance displays that often result in the death of weaker contenders. Females select mates based on combat success and physical damage sustained, a trait believed to correlate with genetic resilience. After mating, the female deposits a small clutch of heavily calcified eggs in geothermally active sites, abandoning them entirely—hatchlings that survive are immediately solitary, aggressive, and fully independent within days of emergence.
This week's episode covers Randy's most-manifested song, "Dragon Attack", from Queen's eighth album, "The Game".
If Kev were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it "Dragon Attack" or possibly "Leaping Lizards!"
NOTE: Skip forward to 28:58 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The music at the end of the episode is the song Kev wrote for his childhood best pal, Birchy, who he referenced in the Ask Us Anything section. You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/AGsINNg8l_c

More from Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)
There was young fella named Freddie Who died long before we were ready He gaves us some tunes and we podcast buffoons Have talked for four years now already!
B B B B B B Side! Today we cover an actual bona fide B Side. Not a track that was unearthed twenty years later and slapped onto a deluxe edition. Not a song with another singer from a super famous couple of rock bands and not the seaside we like to be beside. It's another track from the The Miracle sessions and it was almost twelve minutes long in its original form! It's a light-hearted little Freddie jam that was cut up and put on the flip side of the Breakthru single. You might like it. You might not.
Seaside Pod Review does not condone booking a bus trip down to Brighton to meet your secretary in some seedy little bed and breakfast two streets back from the front behind your wife, and her husband's back and having it off like a couple of hippies in the 60s! No. We recommend you stick with your partner and only do it to them. Preferably with the lights off and your socks on. Remember, Jesus is watching your spotty white arse as it goes up and down arhythmically for 4 to 6 minutes and he's not gonna be impressed if you're pumping anyone other than the person you promised to pump exclusively in one of his ornate dwellings. Don't make Jesus cry. What's wrong with you?!
The last two non-Queen songs we've covered were Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton. This week's song is not like either. If you're easily offended by dark lyrics in a comedic/novelty punk-techno song that borders on poor taste, then this one likely isn't for you. We knew nothing about the band TISM and we're not sure we know a whole lot more now we've listened to then, but any way you wanna cut it, these guys are different! Very different.
Another album bites the dust as we finish up Jazz and leave ourselves with only three songs on the wheel! There are more dismissals from the minifestations gauntlet of death and Randy inquires as to how Kev fared when he recently ventured out of his basement and into the wider world. There's also some chat about Iron Maiden and why we tend to go back to listen to things we've heard a million times before.
