AI Recap
This was episode 532 of the Clive Barker Podcast, where the hosts returned after a month-long break to discuss news and analyze "The Body Politic" story from Volume 4. They covered recent Hellraiser developments including new one-shot comics from Boom Studios focusing on different Cenobites, the upcoming Hellraiser game releasing October 8th, and new Trick or Treat Studios action figures. The main discussion centered on "The Body Politic," a story about Charlie George whose hands rebel against his body, exploring themes of revolution, control, and the consequences of breaking away from societal structures. The hosts analyzed the story's metaphors, its film adaptation in "Quicksilver Highway," and received feedback from listeners about their experiences with the story. They also discussed upcoming commentary tracks for Prince of Darkness and Angel Heart.
Summary Hellraiser Comic Series Announcements The podcast hosts discussed recent Hellraiser news, including Boom Studios' announcement of five new Hellraiser one-shot comics titled "Hellraiser Resurrections" focusing on different Cenobites. They reviewed details about each comic's plot and characters, noting that these appear to be standalone stories that could potentially lead to a new series. The discussion also covered a successful Kickstarter campaign called "Leviathan's Vault" that raised nearly $900,000 to reissue Hellraiser comics, including volumes from 2011 and various limited series. The conversation concluded with a brief mention of the Hellraiser revival game, though details about this were not provided in the transcript segment.

In this special bonus episode, Ryan and Jose review the Steam demo for Hellraiser Revival, as Jose plays it. We recommend watching the YouTube version to follow along with the game-play.
Jose and I love doing movie commentaries, but we have run out of films to cover! The series "Commentary on Clive's Contemporaries" allows us to look in the background and see what movies were happening when these Clive Barker movies and sequels were being made. We choose a range of movies, and you, the listeners, vote for which one we cover. This series was sponsored by our listeners in the 2025 Kickstarter Campaign, Clive Barker Podcast Presents Fundraiser 11 : The Patron Configuration and covers a range of years from 1973 (Salome) to 2024 (Night of the Zoopocalypse) and beyond.
In Episode 537, Jose and Ryan are joined by Don Bertram David Blair, Joe Manco and Jesse for a round-table discussion of our thoughts about Clive Barker's new announced book releases and Kickstarter campaign, Library of the Dead.
