episode 20: Josh Lobo, Director of I Trapped the Devil


Josh Lobo is a first time director, having recently premiered his ambitious and notably sophisticated first feature, I Trapped the Devil. The taught & tense ‘tone poem’ of a movie, echoes early Roman Polanski with nods to Mario Bava. It’s a chilling and rewarding slow burn that marks the beginning of an exciting career. 

Josh and I discussed filmmaking and how he was able to get his first feature off of the ground...

episode 21: Braid Director, Mitzi Peirone


Mitzi Peirone is a director who blew the minds of many with her beautifully realized and spectacularly insane first feature, Braid. Braid was incredibly intricate and sophisticated while delving into completely bonkers territory at times. The horror element of Braid worked both on the gore front and on the existential front which is a very tough balance to pull off...

episode 23: Cinestate & FANGORIA VP of Production, Amanda Presmyk


“Our goal is not to poke people, our goal is to be true to the identity of the things that we create, meaning we want to make something that an author and a director are so passionate about and is so good, that we don't even need to touch it. I don't ne

episode 24: Bill Moseley!


Bill Moseley is an actor, musician and horror icon.  He burst onto the horror scene in a huge way as Chop Top in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and has since starred in movies like Repo the Genetic Opera and the TV show Carnivàle. But perhaps most notable is Bill’s chillingly well realized portrayal of Otis B.

episode 25: The Legendary, Roger Corman


Today, I am honored, humbled, and extremely excited because today we have the king himself, Roger Corman on the podcast. 

Now, I am still in disbelief that I was able to even have this conversation because Mr. Corman is a man who needs no introduction. Dubbed as the 'King of the B’s' by many, he has produced over 100 movies in the horror & exploitation genres and is still working to this day at the age of 93...

episode 72: WILLY’S WONDERLAND Director, Kevin Lewis


Kevin Lewis is an American director of multiple features, including The Method, Downward Angel, The Drop, and The Third Nail. Most recently, Kevin has wowed the horror crowd with Willy's Wonderland, a wonderfully bonkers 'survive the night horror thriller' that pits a group of demonic animatronic animals against an understatedly badass Nicolas Cage.

This movie was one of the most culty, return to the midnight movie traditions I've seen this year, and a whole bunch of fun...
