What does it take to turn a screenplay into a terrifying feature film? On this episode of The Writers Hangout, host Sandy welcomes Daniel Byers, writer and director of Dark Hollow, an independent folk-horror film that blends Appalachian folklore, practical creature effects, and a chilling story rooted in the region's coal-mining history.Daniel's screenplay, originally titled Paradise, won the Jury Award at the 2023 Austin Film Festival, helping launch the film's journey to production and distribution. In this fascinating conversation, Daniel takes us behind the scenes of bringing Dark Hollow to life, from developing its terrifying creature to filming inside a real coal mine and using cutting-edge virtual production technology to create otherworldly environments.Daniel also shares how his unusual childhood, growing up in Rwanda, Nepal, and Appalachia, influenced his storytelling and fascination with horror. He discusses his early love of monsters, his years as a documentary filmmaker, and how the landscapes and cultures he experienced helped shape the visual world of Dark Hollow.For writers and aspiring filmmakers, this episode is packed with practical insights, including why a screenplay should be treated as a literary work rather than simply a blueprint, why rewriting continues throughout production and editing, and what Daniel learned from cutting nearly a third of his original film during the editing process.We also explore the realities of independent filmmaking, the challenges of securing distribution, the importance of marketing, and how changes in the streaming industry are affecting filmmakers. Daniel offers thoughtful advice on film school, finding mentors, building a creative community, and why assembling the right team can be just as important as writing a great script.Plus, Daniel shares his approach to a productive writing day, how he handles writer's block, what happens when a real cat refuses to follow directions on set, and his thoughts on the emerging world of vertical filmmaking.Whether you're a screenwriter, an aspiring director, an independent filmmaker, or a horror fan curious about what happens behind the camera, this episode offers an entertaining and insightful look at the creative and business sides of making movies.In this episode, we discuss:Daniel's extraordinary childhood in Rwanda, Nepal, and Appalachia.How his early experiences inspired his love of monsters and horror.The story behind Dark Hollow and its award-winning screenplay.Creating a terrifying creature with practical effects and CGI.Filming in a real coal mine and using virtual production technology.How a screenplay evolves through writing, production, and editing.Why some of the best storytelling happen in scenes that never make the final cut.The challenges of independent film financing, distribution, and marketing.What aspiring screenwriters should know about film school and finding mentors.Why building a strong creative team is essential to filmmaking.The pros and cons of vertical storytelling and short-form content.Daniel's writing routine, creative rituals, and advice for overcoming writer's block.About Daniel ByersDaniel Byers is a screenwriter, director, and filmmaker with a background in documentary filmmaking.

With football season underway, Brandon and Stoney were feeling festive on this month's episode of Movie Review Rewind. The two discuss Oliver Stone's ambitious 1999 gridiron epic, Any Given Sunday. 

What's it really like to work for a Hollywood legend?On this episode of The Writers Hangout, comedian and screenwriter Charlie Nadler takes us behind the scenes of his career in Hollywood, including his time as Rob Reiner's executive assistant and his work at Castle Rock Entertainment.Charlie shares stories about working with Rob and getting a firsthand look at the filmmaking process. He also talks about growing up in a family of writers—his parents met while working on Laverne & Shirley—and his father Marty Nadler's long career working with legendary filmmaker Garry Marshall.We also talk about Charlie's journey into stand-up comedy, the lessons he learned about paying his dues and finding his voice as a writer, and the special comedy partnership he shared with his father.It's a funny, insightful, and heartfelt conversation about writing, comedy, Hollywood, family, and finding your own path in the entertainment business.

Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors in the world of film using traditional techniques mixed with practical modern effects to make his movies. For years he was accused of whitewashing and downplaying women alongside of criticism for telling his stories in a non-linear fashion with variations in the audio. He is also criticized for relying on explanatory dialogue instead of an overload of stimulating images. Suddenly, however, his movie The Odyssey is being called "woke" for the casting of racially-different actors and for interpreting the original story in a modern way, even portraying Odysseus as weak because the movie relied on the psychology of trauma. Ironically, the so-called diverse cast saw very little air time, and some of them were not horrible performances. Portraying Odysseus as more human and interpreting his journey through a modern lens is not in any way new to a Nolan film. Most of his films rely heavily on psychology and somewhat unorthodox dialogue. Some castings don't work, but others do; like when he was criticized for casting Heath Ledger as the Joker, which turned out to be one of the single greatest performances in cinema history. When asked about the "woke" accusations, Nolan doubled down on his body of work and made no attempt to justify it based on politics, race, gender, etc. In other words, it appears that accusations of "woke" are based on nothing but broken, hollow arguments that are looking for conspiracies and something to be angry about. In this case, it is coming from the right rather than the left. Furthermore, Nolan uses practical effects to create plane crashes, atomic bombs, and even giant cyclopes, instead of relying on CGI, something that again, ironically, something the anti-woke people are usually complaining about in Hollywood needing to change. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

It's singing and spiders and Hollywood began to emerge from lockdown! A fierce awards race between two lauded competitors resulted in an unexpected result as CODA took the trophy. Is a simple tale of a Child Of Deaf Parents who dreams of a life in music enough to be the Best Picture? Erin, Claire, and Dan get into it. But there was no debate on who deserved to be the Box Office Champ, as a triple-team-up of Spider-Men became the first movie to Save Theatres, breaking the COVID doldrums and packing theatres like nothing else had in ages. All this plus Dan spots a trend in the Oscar nominees our hosts find unsettling.

At a yard sale in Malvern, Iowa, one of us asked the woman running it about old cameras, and her husband climbed into the rafters of his barn and came down with a dusty 8x10 view camera, which he gave us. The bellows are full of holes and there's no lens, so it needs a restorer. One of us has been in a creative flood for 3 months and fears that if he stops, it all stops; the other's momentum feels more like a frenzy. The one in the flood passes on an idea he heard: the obstacles are the path itself, and each one is a chance to be creative.An Instagram video mocking cliché photographs, like a faded pink door on a brick wall, gave one of us a small crisis, since he's taken plenty of those. Whatever you've scrolled past, we agree, steers your eye. Martin Scorsese started with about 40 years of film history to absorb, and anyone starting now has 130, which one of us calls an advantage. Brian Eno played Fela Kuti for Talking Heads as they made Remain in Light, and it changed the record. Near the end come Eno's Oblique Strategies cards, which one of us has put on his website. The first says to push to an extreme, then ease back, and the last asks for the simplest fix, which one of us learned to hunt for in Apple tech support.Mentioned in this episode: Winston Churchill, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Stanley Kubrick, Adam Sandler, Orson Welles's F for Fake, Stone Temple Pilots, Talking Heads' Remain in Light, Fela Kuti, Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies.-AiSupport the show If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

It's Goro Day! This week we are going deep on the embattled, tragic, and nonetheless fascinating collaboration between Hayao Miyazaki and his fledging director son. Whatever you think of Goro's movies, you've got to admit… the story of Studio Ghibli is incomplete without him!But it's not just the rift between father and son this week. POPPY HILL is an impressive movie in its own right, and we have much to discuss. And it just so happens that fathers and sons also factor heavily into the film. Coincidence?Next week it's the penultimate (?) film of Hayao Miyazaki, THE WIND RISES (2013)!

Ever wondered what the creative process is behind the films, TV shows and theatre productions you watch? Well, Crew Chats is a podcast that goes behind the scenes and speaks to the crew that help make these productions. Melanie Bell is professor of film history, specialising in how films are made with a particular interest in women in film making. Melanie is the lead Investigator on the project, ‘Film Costumes in Action', which is looking at how costumes were designed, made and used in British film from the 1960s to 2015. This research will culminate in a book called Film Costume: A History in Twenty Objects - and will be published in 2027. It will cover all aspects of the 'costume journey' from design, making, shooting, on screen and beyond. As well as including information by some of the costume professionals that they spoke to on the project. We spoke about the project, the importance of it, and the work that Melanie is doing to highlight the huge contribution of women who have worked in film and more!

In honor of Dolly Parton's recent passing, we are rewinding our episode with 9 to 5 screenwriter Patricia Resnick.We have a fantastic episode for you—and one that feels especially meaningful as we remember the extraordinary Dolly Parton.My guest is screenwriter, producer, and stand-up comedian Patricia Resnick, best known for writing the iconic film 9 to 5, starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin, as well as writing the book for 9 to 5: The Musical.With the recent passing of Dolly Parton, we're taking a moment to celebrate the remarkable legacy of 9 to 5—a film that became much more than a comedy. It gave working women a voice, challenged workplace sexism, and became a cultural touchstone. Dolly's performance, humor, music, and unforgettable title song helped make the film an enduring classic.Patricia Resnick was there at the beginning, creating the story that would become one of the most beloved workplace comedies of all time. She was also involved in writing and producing on television's Mad Men and Better Things, among many other projects.Writers and friends, I promise you'll want to listen to this episode multiple times.Patricia shares her incredible journey to becoming a successful, working screenwriter and talks candidly about what it was like to build a career as a writer and a single mom during a time when women in the workplace were often simply called “the girl.”In honor of Dolly Parton, we're revisiting the story behind 9 to 5 and celebrating the women who helped bring this groundbreaking story to life.Dolly may be gone, but her music, her movies, her generosity, and the doors she helped open for women will continue to inspire generations of writers, artists, and dreamers.This episode is a celebration of Dolly Parton, Patricia Resnick, 9 to 5, and the power of women telling their own stories.The PAGE International Screenwriting Awards sponsors the WRITERS HANGOUT.Executive Producer Kristin OvernCreator/Executive Producer Sandy AdomaitisProducer Terry SampsonMusic by Ethan Stoller

This week I'm joined by Godfrey Cheshire to discuss his new book, Cheshire on Film: Life & Writings. Cheshire is a long-time critic—in addition to writing for Variety and RogerEbert.com, among many other outlets, his stint at the New York Press with Matt Zoller Seitz and Armond White was a legendary run during the golden age of the alt-weeklies and was recently collected in The Press Gang—and his new book highlights a number of his seminal pieces, including interviews with David Lynch and Charlton Heston.But it also functions as a memoir of sorts, a remembrance of a vibrant time in film and film writing that is hard to imagine today. And it serves as a crash course on Iranian and Chinese cinema for those who need one. This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the world of cinema. You can check out his Substack here. If you're in North Carolina on September 9, Chesire will be at the Rialto hosting a Q&A and signing books. And New York City residents should make sure to check out Cheshire's appearance at the IFC Film Center with filmmaker (and Bill and Ted costar) Alex Winter on Monday, September 21. If you make it out there for either of these shows, please say hi from The Bulwark!

House of Capra opens with the one that started it all. Frank Capra's 1934 road comedy put a runaway heiress and a broke reporter on a cross-country bus and accidentally wrote the blueprint every romantic comedy has borrowed from since. Clark Gable pulls your eye whether the scene asks for it or not, and Claudette Colbert matches him beat for beat. There's a blanket, a clothesline, and a stretch of empty highway that do more with restraint than most modern rom-coms manage with everything at their disposal. We get into why a movie made for pocket change swept every major Oscar, where Bugs Bunny came from, and which Mel Brooks film quietly lifted the whole structure. 

When it comes to Hayao Miyazaki, the ocean is full of mystery and calamity. But one thing is for certain: Ponyo loves ham! This week is Miyazaki's late-career “movie for five-year-olds” that somehow combines the terror of complete environmental catastrophe with… the joy of floating around in a candle-powered speedboat. And cool jellyfish! Topics discussed: delicious-looking tea, delicious-looking ramen, whether or not the mad scientist/wizard Fujimoto represents Miyazaki, the perils of painting backgrounds for Ghibli, prehistoric fish, and Frankie Jonas. Next week we take a brief detour from the late works of Miyazaki and Takahata to cover Hiromasa Yonebayashi's THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY (2010).

Dom and Adam are not particularly effusive about Miyazaki's moody, dark magic sequel to SPIRITED AWAY. It's bewildering, it's bizarre, and some moments seem completely incomprehensible.

Once, there was a type of movie called the teen sex comedy... The themes included coupling, horniness, and goofballs learning lessons about what love really was (sometimes, kind of).

This week on Bingetology, I'm working through a streaming kunundrum: too many platforms, too many choices, and somehow still nothing to watch. We also get into the shocking realization that some Gen Z-ers have no idea which movies are actual classics. Yowza! Plus, I travel back in time to talk about the first film made in America and yes, with streaming platforms old classics can still be enjoyed.Streaming chaos, movie history, generational confusion, and plenty of binge-worthy opinions.

Did Studio Ghibli really make a family sitcom? Kind of! It's Isao Takahata's second-to-last film, and we simply couldn't resist adding it to our series. Joining us to revel in the brilliance (and surprisingly vindictive behavior) of the man they call Paku-San (aka Mr. Munch) is our dear friend and digital producer, Nik Long! Topics covered this week: whether or not YAMADAS is more like EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND or MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, the long-standing rivalry of Miyazaki and Takahata and its similarities to the film CHALLENGERS, our nostalgia for discovering movies on television, Takahata's love of bananas, and so much more! Next week, at long last, we get SPIRITED AWAY (2001).

After all these years of podcasting, Brandon and Stoney are just now getting around to the vast genius of Mel Brooks - for both of these guys, this was the first time sitting down and watching 1974's Blazing Saddles all the way through. 

Rewind. Did you know there was another SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE besides the animated blockbuster starring Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen? The first SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE hit theaters in 1993 and was the first feature-length live-action film based on a video game. Directed by the husband-and-wife team Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, it follows brothers Mario Mario (Bob Hoskins) and Luigi Mario (John Leguizamo) as they quest to rescue Princess Daisy (Samantha Mathis) from a dystopian parallel universe ruled by the ruthless King Koopa (Dennis Hopper). Unfortunately, it was a box office failure and was widely panned by critics. The credits list three writers, Parker Bennett, Terry Runté, and Ed Solomon.Why did one MARIO movie succeed when the other MARIO movie didn't? That's the big question Sandy and Terry tackle in this episode.  

Before you listen to this episode, please join us in reciting the Ghibli prayer: Oh nameless god of rage and hate, we bow before you! This week we contend with what is unquestionably one of the greatest films ever made, animation or otherwise. It's a period epic that encapsulates everything we know and love about Studio Ghibli while also somehow raising the bar even higher. And hey, there's even a kaiju! Next week, it's a last-minute addition to the series: Isao Takahata's penultimate film, MY NEIGHBORS THE YAMADAS (1999).

Country roads, take us home!

Before 1960, movies just played on loops at the theater and people could buy a ticket and come and go as they pleased. Then, a film had so massive a twist that the director demanded theaters not let viewers wander in willy-nilly. We're discussing Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock's cinema-altering classic on this episode!

In this episode of Lunatics Radio Hour, we explore the history of the Final Girl, one of horror's most recognizable character archetypes. From early examples in horror literature and film to the rise of the slasher genre in the 1970s and 1980s, we examine how the trope developed and why it became so important to horror storytelling.We discuss the academic origins of the term, the characteristics traditionally associated with the Final Girl, and how characters like Laurie Strode, Nancy Thompson, and Sidney Prescott helped define and evolve the role. We also look at how modern horror films have challenged, expanded, and reinterpreted the trope for new audiences.Join us as we trace the history of the Final Girl and her lasting impact on horror cinema.Follow @Sonrisalibrary on Instagram.SourcesMen, Women, and Chain Saws by Carol J Clover (1992)Fandom article: Halloween Flips The Final Girl Trope on Its Head by Kim Taylor-FosterIn Session Film article by Codie Allen: The Scream Queen's Legacy: Janet Leigh and the Evolution of HorrorDread Central article by Mary Beth McAndrews: Jess's Choice: How ‘Black Christmas' (1974) Responsibly Addresses Abortion and Bodily Autonomy Get Lunatics Merch here.

Episode Summary Erin and Rachel return to the Hundred Acre Wood for Winnie the Pooh (2011), the sequel to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). Although it's stuffed with as much fluff as its protagonist, nostalgia and a 69-minute run time make this benign film pleasantly watchable.  Episode Bibliography Anderson, J.

Safety vs Surveillance: What's The Real Reason We Use Location Sharing? Location sharing can feel like a simple safety net, but we look at what happens when “peace of mind” turns into constant, obsessive monitoring. From parents tracking young adult children to couples sharing this real-time info, we explore how this technology can protect, pressure or slowly erode trust depending on how it's used.

Today on the program, a trip into the archive and a return to Episode 693, my conversation with Candace Jane Opper, author of the debut memoir Certain and Impossible Events (Kore Press). Air date: February 17, 2021. Candace Jane Opper is a writer, a mother, and an occasional visual artist. She grew up in the woods of Southern Connecticut, in a house that alarmingly resembles the one from The Amityville Horror, where she learned to embrace the value of unconventionality. She holds an MFA in Nonfiction Writing from Portland State University and spent her undergraduate years in Providence studying Film History—a discipline her college advisor fondly described as the second most pointless major next to Art History, which she promptly declared as her minor. Opper's essays have appeared or are forthcoming in Longreads, Guernica, Creative Nonfiction, LitHub, Narratively, Brevity, and Vestoj, among others. She is a Creative Nonfiction Foundation Fellowship recipient and a member on the advisory council for Write Pittsburgh, a program collective that empowers writers to amplify their voices and strengthen their communities. Certain and Impossible Events is her first book. *** ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otherppl with Brad Listi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is a weekly podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.

Batman: The Movie (1966) is a campy, quotable time capsule that helped turn a modest TV show into a pop culture icon. Adam West's earnestness, the film's comic-book style, and its playful villains make it a perfect snapshot of 1960s charm and lasting nostalgia.

Farewell to freedom in the Adriatic and days of wild abandon! We're soaring back over the sea this week to hang out with our close personal friend, Porco Rosso! This is… the best movie ever made, right?

From the early days of Big Brother magazine to the insanity of Jackass: Best and Last, this group of idiots turned "getting the crap kicked out of each other" into an art form.They weren't just stuntmen; they kickstarted the DIY approach to entertainment that defines a generation. Whether you grew up watching them on MTV or you're just discovering the legacy, Best and Last feels like waiving goodbye to an old friend. It's finite, it's funny, and yes, it's a bit teary-eyed to see the crew hang it up.Critics are calling it a "fearless kind of genius" and honestly, they're not wrong. If you loved the show, the movies, and the chaos, you owe it to yourself to see this in theaters.This episode is brought to you by LiQure Gummies.

Get ready to reconnect with your 10-year-old self. Because we're about to face some of the most embarrassing (and transcendent) childhood memories in movie history! Topics discussed this week: dividing fractions, the questionable taste of unripe pineapples, Takahata and Miyakazi's legendary beef, uncanny animated facial muscles, the weather, and whether or not ALADDIN still holds up.
