The Movie Crypt

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Jamie Blanks (URBAN LEGEND, VALENTINE, STORM WARNING) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen all the way from Australia to discuss his career in an absolutely CAN’T MISS episode! From getting Hollywood’s attention with a mock trailer for I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER while still in college (he almost got the gig directing it!)… to directing URBAN LEGEND… to meeting and befriending many of his cinematic idols… to the crushing blow of VALENTINE’s original reception (Fangoria may have voted it the worst movie of 2021 but the film certainly found a loyal audience that absolutely loves it 2 decades later!)… this ultra candid geek out between the 3 genre filmmakers is one that you’re going to wish never had to end. In fact, if you’re not yet supporting THE MOVIE CRYPT on Patreon and getting the FULL versions of every new episode we almost feel bad for you that you’re going to miss out on the second hour of this one.

PUBLIC VERSION. Video game developers Jonas and Verena Kyratzes (SERIOUS SAM 4, THE SEA WILL CLAIM EVERYTHING) virtually join Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their career journey together.

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Mike P Nelson (WRONG TURN 2021, THE DOMESTICS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his journey at the helm of the re-imagined WRONG TURN (out now)! From Mike’s initial reaction to franchise creator Alan McElroy’s screenplay and its completely re-envisioned take on the original concept… to carrying out post-production during the COVID-19 pandemic… to committing to the bold choice of making a WRONG TURN movie that purposely avoids many of the signature elements that fans have come to expect from the franchise… this candid conversation offers some fascinating insight into what it’s like navigating a climate where audiences largely gravitate towards remakes, sequels, and recognizable titles over original offerings… all while claiming they want “something new.” In the second half of the episode the boys get real about the social commentary of “backwoods villains,” Mike offers some truly compelling advice to those pursuing a career in the arts, and Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” to an artist feeling beaten down by bad luck.

PUBLIC VERSION. Composer Steve Moore (MAYHEM, BLISS, THE MIND’S EYE) virtually joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his craft and career journey. From listening to STAR WARS soundtrack albums as a child in order to re-live every moment of the films… to QUEEN’s soundtrack for FLASH GORDON showing him his calling… to studying music in college… to discovering his own unique synth-based sound and the rise of his band ZOMBI… to a review of one of ZOMBI’s albums leading to him scoring Adam Wingard’s HOME SICK and launching his career as a composer… to his personal process in helping bringing a director’s story to musical life… to the pros and cons of working with temp scores… to his advice for up and coming composers on both how to find work and how to best serve each story being told… Steve’s general optimism and passion for his craft is downright contagious. Dr. Arwen turns this week’s “Hollywood Therapy” session around on the boys after a patient asks them to analyze “where they are at today versus where their high school selves thought they would be today” and a listener almost makes Adam cry with their incredibly touching words in this fantastic episode that just so happens to SOUND incredible, too! (Leave it to a phenomenal composer to have a high quality microphone handy to use for Zoom!) 

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Neil Marshall (THE DESCENT, GAME OF THRONES) returns to THE MOVIE CRYPT with actress/writer Charlotte Kirk (OCEAN’S EIGHT, ULYSSES: A DARK ODYSSEY) to discuss their new historical horror film THE RECKONING (now available)! From writing a screenplay centering around false witchcraft accusations in the 1700’s that would wind up being far more relevant in 2021 than they ever imagined… to the creative freedoms of stepping back into the indie world and working with a limited budget after a string of working on bigger budget studio/network films… to the hurdles of shooting a period piece with limited time and resources… to the various ways they used sound and existing locations to provide an epic scope… this is a fantastic conversation about how to retain the feeling of big budget scale despite an indie’s inherent financial restraints and how to best write, direct, produce, and perform a story that’s set in a time period that is typically reserved for far larger budgets.  Dr. Arwen provides advice for filmmakers considering using stock footage and/or public domain music in their work and Joe shares an “Unpopular Opinion” about recent on-line backlash to established filmmakers who encourage up and comers to “shoot it on your iPhone if need be.”

PUBLIC VERSION.

From deciding as a child that he wanted to be the guy who scared Stephen King (before ever reading a Stephen King book)… to discovering a genuine love and natural talent for writing… to a chance encounter with the great Brian De Palma and choosing the right one liner about a suitcase… to his incredible acting career working on some of the biggest movies alongside some of the biggest stars… to getting a firsthand masterclass in directing by working with some of the greatest and most iconic directors (Clint Eastwood, Judd Apatow, Ben Stiller, Roger Avary, David Cronenberg, and more)… to writing GOON and directing the sequel… to the candid truth about producers with frustrating intentions during the casting process… to modern day “financial/numbers obsessed” movie fans… to a technical geek out on color pallet and the making of his latest film RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE (now on Shudder!)… this conversation is so insanely fun that you’ll never want it to end. Dr. Arwen provides advice and emotional support for a writer facing the hurdle of a new baby at home, Jay shares the truth behind the infamous rollercoaster scene in KNOCKED UP, and the boys get real about what happens when the business decisions overshadow the actual art.

PUBLIC VERSION. Comedian/actor Nick Thune (KNOCKED UP, EXTRACT, DAVE MADE A MAZE, TV’s BURNING LOVE) virtually joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey. From his very first public speaking experiences… to becoming a stand up comic that the industry took notice of and pursued… to his first major movie role and all he learned on that set… to playing a character with multiple personas in his latest film- the romantic comedy THE RIGHT ONE (available now)… THE MOVIE CRYPT enters the 400’s with an absolutely killer conversation. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” to a patient grieving a truly tragic situation and feeling guilty about the kind of entertainment he enjoys and Adam declares that movies dead in the introduction of a brand new segment called “The Unpopular Opinion.”

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmakers Adam Green (HATCHET, FROZEN) and Joe Lynch (EVERLY, MAYHEM) celebrate their 400th episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT by putting themselves in the guest chair(s) for an extremely candid and raw conversation about each other’s careers. In this special 2.5 hour long episode the directors interview each other with the in-depth, personal, and technical questions that they never get asked when doing the publicity rounds in support of their latest releases. From extremely specific questions about their individual styles and the approaches they take to their crafts… to self-reflective questions about how far they feel they’ve come and how far they feel they still have to go… this is the type of stuff you just won’t find in their almost 2 decades of interviews with other outlets. The last 90 minutes (available exclusively for listeners who support the program for a mere $1 a month or more on Patreon.com/TheMovieCrypt) include the really good stuff: 

If they could go back to their first feature films (WRONG TURN 2 for Joe and HATCHET for Adam) what would they do differently? When “success” arrived how did it differ from what they originally perceived it to be and how do they define “success" now? If they could each bring back just one of the too many icons of cinema that have passed on during their time in the industry- who would it be? Out of the 400 episodes of THE MOVIE CRYPT so far- which is their favorite? What would they like to see changed about the convention/fandom world? What movie do they each wish they had been the ones to make? Is it still as crucial to live in Los Angeles as it may have been back when they moved to La La Land 20+ years ago? Based on all they’ve been through and learned so far, what advice/warnings would they give themselves (and each other) if they could time travel back to the start?  From the wonderful highs to the heartbreaking lows and the many struggles, frustrations, and disappointments in between… Adam and Joe take off their hosting hats for a night to speak freely as the artists that they are.

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Steve Kostanski (THE VOID, LEPRECHAUN RETURNS, MANBORG, FATHER’S DAY) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey. From a child scared of the horror section in the video store to discovering a life-long love of the genre through the gateway drug of ARMY OF DARKNESS and THE EVIL DEAD saga… to teaching himself special FX make-up with the help of books and his eventual personal relationship with the legendary Dick Smith (THE EXORCIST, SCANNERS)… to making a name for himself with his production team ASTRON-6 on ultra low budget films that impressed and captured a loyal audience… to the pitfalls of first time directors… the hurdles of working with practical effects on set… and the making of his latest PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN (out now!)… this is one MOVIE CRYPT geek out that you’re going to wish didn’t have to end!

PUBLIC VERSION. Actor Ernie Hudson (GHOSTBUSTERS, THE CROW, CONGO, TV’s THE FAMILY BUSINESS) virtually joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his long career journey as an actor. From the pressures of having a family to feed before his acting career had even gotten started… to sticking with his dream regardless of the odds and setting an example for his children to go after their dreams no matter what…  to Ernie’s process of discovery with each character he plays… to making organic choices based on what is true to a specific character in a given moment versus falling back on generic choices based on what the average viewer might expect or simply think they want to see from a character… to the worldwide phenomenon that was 1984’s GHOSTBUSTERS… to governing the jail cells of TV’s OZ.. to voice over work for animation and games… to the making of his latest film REDEMPTION DAY (now available!)… to a great personal story about a night in Morocco… this conversation with one of the industry’s most beloved working actors is so enjoyable it literally flies by. Dr. Arwen’s office was closed for the week but our Crypt Keepers get their questions for Ernie answered and Adam and Joe explain where THE MOVIE CRYPT “Vaults” went.

PUBLIC VERSION. Actor and Director Alexander Siddig (GAME OF THRONES, 24, STAR TREK; DEEP SPACE NINE, CLASH OF THE TITANS) virtually joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey. From a theater obsessed boy with his heart set on one day directing opera… to finding himself as a beloved character in the STAR TREK universe (“Doctor Bashir” on DEEP SPACE NINE) where he’d star in a whopping 173 episodes… to his chance directing episodes of the science fiction television epic (wait til you hear Alexander’s story about the curve ball he was thrown!)… to his roles in massive blockbusters like VERTICAL LIMIT, KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, SYRIANA, DOOMSDAY, CLASH OF THE TITANS, 21 BRIDGES, and his most recent science fiction thriller SKYLINES (available now!)… Alexander’s career is one as legendary as the characters he has portrayed. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a patient suffering from Imposter Syndrome and Alexander admits that he didn’t quite know what was happening all of the time on GAME OF THRONES either in this fantastic conversation that flew by all too quickly.

JOE… to screen testing opposite absolute legends like Daniel Day Lewis… to the making of her latest feature BREACH (out now!)… Rachel’s career path has been an amazing one to follow but not one free of hurdles or tragedy. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a patient concerned with developing career fatigue and Rachel discusses an extremely personal passion project that she not only adapted into a screenplay but that will also see her in the director’s chair for the first time!

Jay and Mitch discuss how they curated the selection of films in the series… how they approached interviewing the various individuals involved with such sensitive and tragic real life stories… what they did to set their series apart from any other show or documentary that may have already covered the unfortunate events associated with the films in the series… reactions from viewers… and what’s to come now that a second season has been ordered. Dr. Arwen provides Hollywood Therapy for a listener looking to rekindle their passion, Adam puts his foot down on a controversial subject, and David Lee Roth rocks out in this truly insightful and extremely candid filmmaker on filmmaker on filmmaker on filmmaker on Yorkie conversation.

Speaking of curses… the first two seasons of HOLLISTON are now streaming on Shudder! Help show the folks in charge at Shudder that it’s time to get Adam, Joe, Laura, Corri, and Dee back on stage together again for season 3 and break the curse that has been looming over HOLLISTON since 2014! The series debuted on Shudder last week with one hell of a bang as the Holliston Nation set social media on fire with their excitement. However, resurrecting our beloved TV show is going to take a marathon - not a sprint - and we’re not going to instantly get to the green-light at the end of the 6 year-long dark tunnel that we’ve been trapped in. Thankfully, Shudder actually listens to their audience! You may recall that the network licensed seasons 1 and 2 of HOLLISTON after fans blew up Shudder’s social media during Adam’s first “Coronapocalypse” month of daily live streams last spring. So let Shudder hear you and remember… slow and steady wins the race!

In this fantastic conversation discussing his career, his craft, and his artistic philosophy, Danny explains what it’s really like working with the world’s biggest artists, how he earns a band’s trust enough to infiltrate their inner sanctum, what it means to become a fly on the wall that is truly “with the band,” and why the fleeting moments that he captures with his camera become such a crucial aspect of a fan’s emotional and deeply personal connection to the artists they love so dearly.

Actor/Filmmaker Oliver Robbins (POLTERGEIST, AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL) “virtually” joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey! From a child actor in two of the biggest blockbusters of 1982… to attending film school at USC… to walking away from entertainment to pursue a career as a stock broker… to returning to film on “the other side” of the camera (See what we did there? POLTERGEIST 2: THE OTHER SIDE? Get it? Whatever, your jokes aren’t funny either.) … to his latest film CELEBRITY CRUSH (out now on digital and on-demand)… Oliver’s journey through Hollywood and back again is filled with bullies, clowns, scary trees, and more! Dr. Arwen provides emotional support to a filmmaker looking to make the most of their COVID-19 isolation, Oliver makes Adam and Joe seriously jealous with an amazing Spielberg story, the guys get to the bottom of the Toby Hooper vs Steven Spielberg directing most of POLTERGEIST rumor, and Arwen gets sucked into the ArieScope TV by scary ghosts in this candid and responsibly socially distant conversation! (One of those things didn’t actually happen.)

Actor Mark Patton (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY’S REVENGE) and co-directors Roman Chimienti and Tyler Jensen “virtually” join Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their new documentary SCREAM, QUEEN! MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - now streaming wherever you prefer to watch new releases! While being careful not to spoil the events of the documentary, the group discusses the fascinating process of making a movie about a man’s life story- only to find that pivotal moments of that on-going story are taking place right before their cameras. From NIGHTMARE 2 originally being looked upon as a controversial slasher sequel due to its infamous homoerotic subtext… to that very same subtext being a huge reason why the film is now celebrated many decades later…to the movie’s star (Mark Patton) being “outed” by the film before he was ready to “come out” and coming to terms with his long standing resentment towards the experience… Patton’s story is an extremely important one. This is one conversation you don’t want to miss - and an episode that you’ll only relate to even more if you make it a point to see the film! (Seriously- see it!!)

From realizing that they were simply better together… to making shorts for fun…  to their grass roots effort to produce their first feature DEADHEADS… to continuing on with the same family affair vibe for the production of their latest feature THE WRETCHED… the Pierce Brothers are a perfect example that sometimes two deadheads in the director’s chair are truly better than just one deadhead.

Filmmaker J.D. Dillard (SLEIGHT, SWEETHEART) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his journey through Hollywood so far. From the decision to not finish film school and instead round himself out by studying a potentially more useful skill set… to all he learned by working as an assistant/receptionist at Bad Robot while continuing to write and direct shorts…  to his feature film directorial debut with SLEIGHT… to the importance of knowing how to keep a story tight and not overstay its welcome… to his latest film- the isolated creature feature SWEETHEART (currently available on Netflix)… J.D.’s successful career trajectory is the perfect example of the path Adam so often recommends in terms of starting out as an assistant while continuing to create during the hours outside of the office. Dr. Arwen provides emotional support/advice to a filmmaker grappling with a guilty feeling, Adam gets burned by a 7 year old, and the importance of understanding the business side of making movies is made incredibly clear in this extremely educational conversation.

Austrian filmmaking team Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz (GOODNIGHT MOMMY, THE LODGE) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen for a hilarious and extremely honest conversation about their career journey and the reality of financing films in this day and age. The unlikely filmmaking duo share the incredible story of how they met and began working together… the major differences/similarities between getting a film financed in Austria and in America… their approach to equally sharing the helm on each project… the major differences with which “success” is measured in Austria and in the USA… and the challenges that almost every filmmaker faces in trying to communicate just how difficult it actually is to maintain a career in the arts to those on the outside of the industry. Dr. Arwen provides emotional support/advice to a filmmaker wondering when the time is right to stop working for free (which spawns a brutally honest discussion about the perils of being too generous), Adam shares a very messy story about “parenting,” and Joe and Severin realize that they in fact shared a past “life” in this super entertaining and incredibly candid episode.

Actor Stephen Lang (AVATAR, DON’T BREATHE, MANHUNTER) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to share his career journey. From answering “the calling” to become a performer… to working on Broadway alongside such greats as Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich… to Stephen’s process behind becoming the characters he embodies with each new role… to constantly adapting to each different directors’ unique style… to the story behind “Miles Quaritch’s” coffee cup in AVATAR… to how he feels about his children working in the industry… to working with our friends Joe Begos and Josh Ethier on their latest film VFW (available this Friday/Valentine’s Day!)… it is easy to see why Stephen has become one of the most beloved character actors working today. Dr. Arwen helps guide a filmmaker with their short film’s next steps and Stephen answers our Crypt Keepers’ burning questions in this wicked fun episode.

On Saturday January 25, 2020 the Panic Film Festival in Kansas City, MO presented a special 10th anniversary screening of Adam Green’s FROZEN followed by a live performance of THE MOVIE CRYPT podcast. For the first time ever, Joe Lynch interviews Adam Green in the most candid filmmaker on filmmaker conversation about the making of FROZEN that you’ll ever hear. From Green turning down an offer that would have doubled the production’s budget had he been willing to concede to the producer’s demands (which included NOT shooting the film entirely on location)… to Green literally casting the very first actress to walk into the audition room… to the technical and physical hurdles that the cast and crew endured shooting on the side of a mountain in Utah during the dead of winter… to Joe’s father passing away while he was visiting the set… to the moments with the wolves that turned dangerous… to the haunting story about the real-life tragedy that had occurred in the very spot Green was compelled to shoot the film in… the two filmmakers take a deep dive behind the scenes of FROZEN’s lasting legacy “doing for skiing what JAWS did for swimming.” Recorded before a live audience the episode also includes the return of “The Steven Tyler Congratulations” as Green and Lynch honor a very special guest who also had a film screening at Panic Fest this year. NOTE: Unfortunately Arwen could not attend this live appearance due to a previously scheduled professional obligation.

Green and Lynch held a “Crypt Keeper” meet up at the Screenland Armour theater where over 20 Patreon members joined the hosts for a private hangout before the screening of FROZEN began!

Filmmaker Sam Wineman (DEATHCEMBER, THE QUIET ROOM, Attack Of The Queerwolf Podcast) shares his journey with Adam, Joe, and Arwen in this absolutely fantastic episode! From growing up feeling different and forming a cinematic kinship with the horror genre and its monsters… to recognizing that he was drowning his confusion in alcohol as a young teen and taking action to change the path he was heading down… to bravely coming out as queer to a family that wasn’t immediately ready to embrace his realization… to finding his calling in college telling stories and making short films… to the making of his documentary on queer cinema (in post-production now and due out on Shudder this summer)… Sam’s candid perspective on the genre makes for a fascinating and eye opening conversation. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a patient stricken with grief and the guys get deeply personal about death in this truly important episode of The Movie Crypt.

Filmmaker Rodman Flender (IDLE HANDS, LEPRECHAUN 2, TV’s THE OFFICE) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to share his cinematic journey. From starting out as an actor… to always saying “yes” to new and sudden opportunities…  to finding himself all but running the day to day operations for Roger Corman’s company…  to the pros and cons of not being “pigeonholed” as an artist… to IDLE HANDS being targeted by politicians in the wake of the Columbine tragedy…  to the making of his latest film EAT BRAINS LOVE (“a road trip comedy with a side of cannibalism”)… Rodman’s path has been anything but predictable and this conversation is an absolute blast! Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a patient in need of cinematic closure, everyone’s sick, and all three guys gear up for Panic Fest in Kansas City this coming weekend!

Filmmaker Kyra Gardner may have only just graduated film school a few months ago but she’s already one of the best examples we know of an emerging young talent making huge strides in the world of cinema today! From trying to decide between a career as a veterinarian or an army nurse and instead choosing filmmaking as her calling… to observing her father at work on sets (Tony Gardner is an FX legend – check out our conversation with him in Ep 246)… to having her first short film selected for the 39th Cleveland International Film Festival at age 16 (the youngest participant ever!)… to having her short form documentary THE DOLLHOUSE acquired by Universal Studios for inclusion on the CULT OF CHUCKY home video (she was only 19!)... to winning a DGA Student Award at age 22 for her latest short film PHOEBE… at just 22 years old Kyra’s list of accomplishments is enough to motivate anyone looking to pick up a camera! Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” to a patient who is worried that his life may have passed him by as well as a filmmaker ready to secure distribution for his series while Joe stays in bed with the flu just like “Cameron” in FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF (“let my Cameron go…”) in this wicked inspiring episode.

He’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma and a living hero to every artist who’s ever been trampled over by the system. Filmmaker Richard Stanley (HARDWARE, DUST DEVIL, THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU) sits down with Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen for a long awaited and fascinating discussion about his career journey. From seeing the original ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU in 1977 and determinedly deciding that he would one day tell H.G. Wells’ fantastical story his own way... to making a name for himself with 1990’s low-budget, post apocalyptic thriller HARDWARE… to watching his follow up DUST DEVIL fall out of his hands due to the bankruptcy of the production company and creative tampering of the final cut of the film (Stanley would go on to finance a restored version from the original negative many years later)… to ultimately getting the chance he dreamed of and writing/directing 1996’s THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU – only to have the project become a legendary clusterfuck after creative disputes lead to him being fired just hours after the start of production (in order to understand the absolute nightmare Stanley endured you need to watch LOST SOUL - the 2014 documentary about the DR. MOREAU fiasco)… only to rise from the ashes over two decades later with this his new feature COLOR OUT OF SPACE… if Richard Stanley’s unbreakable determination doesn’t inspire you to stick to your guns than you need to turn your guns in immediately. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” to a writer struggling to manage his expectations and Adam and Joe pray at the alter of their cinematic hero in this phenomenal conversation that starts off 2020 in spectacular fashion.

Comedian Brian Posehn (THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM, SEX DRIVE, THE DEVIL’S REJECTS, KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM, HOLLISTON, THE BIG BANG THEORY) joined Adam and Joe as a surprise guest during the first night of “Yorkiethon 4.” In this extremely candid conversation the guys discuss Brian’s new book FOREVER NERDY, Brian’s guest star role on THE MADALORIAN, visiting Rick Baker’s house, dealing with fans, Halloween, and much more! Dr. Arwen was at home sleeping yet still managed to provide “Hollywood Therapy” for a patient with concerns over the content their child is consuming and Joe shares a crazy Nicholas Cage story in this episode that was recorded LIVE during THE MOVIE CRYPT’s record breaking 4thannual 48-hour marathon to benefit Save A Yorkie Rescue.

In what may be the most important conversation you'll ever hear on THE MOVIE CRYPT, addiction counselor Terry Kirkman (A.I.R. Support) sat down with us to get real about the subject of addiction. After meeting so many artists who have struggled with substance abuse in their own lifetimes and after losing our dear friend and brother Dave Brockie to heroin in 2014, we wanted to speak with an expert in the field and gain a better understanding of the illness. We also hoped to help our audience members who may be battling addiction (or who may know someone else who is) and show them that there is truly a light at the end of the long, dark tunnel.

The response to this episode continues to overwhelm us to this very day. Who knows? Perhaps bringing this special episode out of the vault and back into the light may help save even more lives than it did back in 2015 when it originally aired? We can only hope so.

Actress Claudia Christian (THE HIDDEN, BABYLON 5, CLEAN AND SOBER, 9-1-1) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss her career.

X-MEN, FROZEN, THE RUINS, TV's THE FOLLOWING... actor Shawn Ashmore may have been born with good looks and amazing talent but it's his work ethic and incredible good nature that have kept him working so consistently on so many high profile projects.

On March 18, 2019 the world lost filmmaker and FX legend John Carl Buechler (FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD, TROLL, HATCHET). John was much more than just a beloved artist. He was also a husband, a father of three, and a dear friend. His passing is heartbreaking on a deeply personal level for both Adam Green and Joe Lynch.

John was a childhood hero to both Adam and Joe as his work helped to shape/warp their young, horror loving, Fangoria obsessed minds. He was one of the very first to believe not only in Adam's "Victor Crowley" character but in Adam as a filmmaker. Immediately after reading Adam's screenplay for HATCHET John signed on as the film's lead effects artist even though the funding for the film was still not fully in place. John's mere involvement in the project as the film's FX artist helped give HATCHET some legitimacy within the genre world and helped Adam secure such veteran horror icons as Kane Hodder, Robert Englund, and Tony Todd for the film. However, John's role in the HATCHET franchise went far beyond designing the over the top effects seen on screen as he would also become an advisor, a cheerleader, and a friend.

On the final day of THE MOVIE CRYPT's 2nd annual 48-hour marathon to benefit Save A Yorkie Rescue (2017), John Carl Buechler and Kane Hodder joined Adam, Joe, and Arwen to perform a live commentary for FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII. The commentary was re-broadcast as an exclusive for THE MOVIE CRYPT's beloved Patreon supporters but has never been re-broadcast for the general public - until now. In the wake of John's passing Adam, Joe, and Arwen wanted to share this incredibly fun and informative moment in time with John's fans around the world. So put on your copy of FRIDAY VII at home and listen along as we remember John Carl Buechler and celebrate what many believe to be his finest work.

Rest in peace, Maestro. Your cinematic legacy is eternal.

Filmmaker Chelsea Stardust (SATANIC PANIC, ALL THAT WE DESTROY) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss her career journey from a 10 year old girl watching NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and falling in love with the horror genre... to attending film school... to an internship at producer/director Ivan Reitman's Montecito Picture Company... to assisting producer Jason Blum at Blumhouse... to making short films... to directing her first feature. With discussions about productions "flipping," what it means to shoot "inside the zone," the harsh reality of "Hollywood accounting," and sound advice from Dr. Arwen for aspiring filmmakers struggling to create in a location where resources simply don't exist... this candid conversation is yet another example of why THE MOVIE CRYPT is often referred to as "free audio film school" by industry insiders.

Actor William Fichtner (BLACK HAWK DOWN, ARMAGEDDON, HEAT, GO) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career path from a criminal law student to one of the best known actors in Hollywood. From taking an acting class on a whim to making a full blown career out of the craft, William has always followed his instincts and his instincts have lead him to working with the biggest directors, sharing the screen with the biggest stars, and becoming a performer whom audiences feel instantly elevates a project simply by being in it.

Actor Samm Levine (FREAKS AND GEEKS, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) discusses his career journey with Adam, Joe, and Arwen in this ridiculously enjoyable conversation.  From his breakout role in the (now) celebrated FREAKS AND GEEKS… to the crushing news of the series’ cancellation after merely one (game changing) season… to landing roles on almost every major TV series and in many of our favorite films of the last two decades… Samm has consistently kept us all entertained and represented so many of us as we’ve come of age ourselves. As you’ll learn from Samm’s work ethic, it is no wonder that he has worked with so many of the greatest filmmakers and storytellers in the history of film and television. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for two of our beloved Crypt Keepers, Samm answers our audience’s “Viewer Mail” questions, and Adam recounts how this year's IMPRACTICAL JOKERS CRUISE almost became the CAPTAIN PHILLIPS CRUISE on the eve of THE MOVIE CRYPT’s milestone 300th episode (premiering next week)!

There are few comedians today who can do TV, movies, podcasting and still retain their raw, uncompromising voice over multiple formats and Christopher Titus (TITUS, SPECIAL UNIT) has proven tenfold that he's one of them. Having delved into the darker realms of his family and upbringing and incorporated it into his standup and other projects, Chris has tapped into the vein of comedy that stings, heals, and relates. From the hardships of creating comedy in today’s sensitive culture... to how Chris' art reflects his real life... to taking an old TV movie concept and writing, directing, producing, and starring in SPECIAL UNIT... Titus shares all in a conversation that Adam, Joe, and Arwen never wanted to see end. Dr. Arwen answers a very apt "Hollywood Therapy" question about public speaking (something everyone on the show can relate to) and Chris answers our beloved Crypt Keepers' "Viewer Mail" questions in this truly hilarious episode.

SERIOUSLY, CAN THIS DESCRIPTION GET ANY MORE META?!

Writer/show-runner Bryan Fuller (HANNIBAL, AMERICAN GODS) was one of the highlights from this year's 48-hour live marathon... and now everyone can hear the full 2-hour conversation.  How did he get HANNIBAL's extreme and beautifully horrific gore past network standards and practices?  How does a show runner map out so many seasons of a show?  Is HANNIBAL really over for good?  What's happening with the reboot of AMAZING STORIES?  You're going to love this conversation almost as much as we love Bryan for taking the time to hang out with us just moments before heading to the premiere of THE LAST JEDI, having incredible taste in footwear (you'll hear), and for being such a great guy that he even made his own very generous donation to "Save A Yorkie Rescue" just minutes after leaving the ArieScope Studio.  This man is a saint!
