PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Elric Kane (THE DEAD THING) joins Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his debut feature. From growing up in New Zealand and coming to America to pursue cinema… to his obsession with Zulawski's POSSESSION (and his thoughts on the remake of the cult-classic by a previous Movie Crypt guest)… to becoming a popular presence in the Los Angeles film scene through his many podcast hosting duties on shows like PURE CINEMA PODCAST and COLORS OF THE DARK… to how he's been sharing the art of film with students in his classes… to shooting his erotic psychological horror mind-bender THE DEAD THING (available now on Shudder!) on a micro-budget… to his love for actor Wings Hauser and more, this terrific geek-out conversation with Elric was long overdue!

It's a privilege and a shame that we can cover a Kiyoshi Kurosawa title on the podcast. How is Lionsgate burying a Kurosawa movie that gets 0 Rotten Tomatoes reviews upon release and only 2 more over the last decade and a half? That's the conversation O.G. horror podcaster and filmmaker Elric Kane starts on this week's podcast. We talk about Kane's new haunting release The Dead Thing (now on Shudder), and how Kurosawa's Retribution is a strange cousin (as well as Kurosawa's legacy). Dating apps, ghosts, and bones y'all!
Let's talk about Elric Kane's haunting new film, The Dead Thing! Spoiler-Free Review!!
I'm very excited because today, we're joined by Elric Kane—filmmaker, podcaster, household name in horror and one of the most knowledgeable voices in genre cinema. Elric is the co-host of the ‘Colors of the Dark' Podcast which I listen to religiously as well as & The New Beverly Cinemas ‘Pure Cinema' Podcast.Elric's new feature ‘The Dead Thing' launches on Shudder today! I got to see it at an advanced screening and I urge you to check it out on Shudder because it's excellent and beautifully crafted.In today's episode, Elric and I dive deep into the making of the Dead Thing including his innovative financing strategy, the challenges of directing an indie, the importance of casting, and navigating post-production hurdles. Please give it up for Elric Kane.Key TakeawaysBudget Wisely & Plan for Post & DeliverablesA common and generally positive ethic of filmmaking is to put every dollar on screen but many indie filmmakers make the mistake of spending their entire budget on the shoot, only to realize too late that post can be just as expensive and time-consuming. Elric stresses that without a proper plan for editing, sound design, color correction, and deliverables, filmmakers risk delaying their release or running out of money before the film is finished. Furthermore deliverables—like legal clearances, contracts, paperwork and permissions—can take months to finalize and often cost more than expected. Budget accordingly.Cast Well, Direct LessAccording to Elric, a director's best tool is strong casting. No amount of great cinematography, effects, or editing can save a film thats been miscast. Elric emphasizes that the best performances come from actors who already embody the role, rather than ones who need to be excessively directed. The right actors make directing easier and more organic, allowing the filmmaker to focus on the bigger picture.Elric hired casting director and friend of the show, David Guglielmo, who not only found great actors but also helped with industry connections and even stepped into somewhat of a producer role. A strong cast carries the movie, and a good casting director can open doors you can't and they are worth every penny.Consider Network FinancingInstead of relying on crowdfunding platforms or searching for a few large investors, Elric took a different approach—he asked multiple people in his network for smaller investments, typically in $5,000 increments. This approach helped him and his team raise nearly the entire budget in two months.His advice for anyone hesitant to ask for money is to start by asking the person you least want to ask. Once you've crossed that mental hurdle, every ask after that becomes easier. $5,000 investments can add up very quickly - and it's not that you need to replicate this exact strategy but it's important to think creatively about how to finance your movie.Be Relentless About What Matters MostFilmmaking requires a lot of sacrifices, but not all of them are created equal. Elric believes that certain scenes are non-negotiable because they define the essence of the film. Throughout the production of The Dead Thing, he had to fight to keep crucial moments in the film, even when time constraints forced other compromises. His philosophy is to figure out what the life force of the film itself is and make sure you get it in the can. Knowing what is essential and protecting it at all costs is what separates great directors from those who let production pressures dilute their film. Elric quoted the Cohen brothers who called the director the immune system of the...

On this episode, The Pink Smoke welcomes back podcaster and physical media maven Brian Saur to bite into the succulent apple that is The Lady Eve. The gleaming center of an unparalleled four-year, 7-movie run of masterpieces from the peerless Preston Sturges, Eve strikes an immaculate balance of comedy that is high and low brow, impressions of love both cynical and romantic, and a leading lady who's positively anything but good and positively anything but bad. With a top-to-bottom phenomenal cast including Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, Charles Coburn, Eugene Pallette and William Demarest breathing life into Sturges' brilliant dialogue and deftly executing his pratfalls, it's hard to argue against this movie being the pinnacle of Hollywood's age of slapstick. Along with co-host Elric Kane on the Pure Cinema Podcast, Brian originated the phrase "handshake film" to describe great movies that are easy for fellow cineastes to bond over and The Lady Eve is certainly that. Like Brian, hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs are huge Sturges fans who find every frame of Eve irresistible, so this episode quickly turns into a gush session in which they quote favorite lines, deconstruct favorite scenes and have a great time doing it!

#SCREAMDrafts 2021 kicks off with Colors of the Dark co-hosts and Screen Drafts Hall of Famers Rebekah McKendry and Elric Kane drafting the best BODY HORROR movies ever made. But there's twist: only ONE film by David Cronenberg is allowed to make the list!
Stephen Frears' noir western melodrama came and went without making any significant impact in 1998 and remains unavailable on any streaming source as of this recording. We think it's time this film and it's journeyman director got some renewed attention. “The Hi-Lo Country” serves as our jumping off point to explore Frear's complete filmography. Directed by Stephen Frears. Written by Walon Green. Produced by Martin Scorsese. Starring Billy Crudup, Woody Harrelson, Patricia Arquette, Penelope Cruz, Sam Elliott, Cole Hauser, John Diehl, Darren E. Burrows, Sandy Baron & Katy Jurado. How is the world wrong about this movie? From Andras: At the time it came out, the world ignored The Hi-Lo Country, and lack of availability has kept it obscure to this day, but this film and its soulful performances by so many great stars of the 90's thoughtfully directed by Stephan Frears hearkens back to films like “Giant” and “East of Eden”, as well as Frears' own filmography which we explore in this episode.
