A devilish figure arrives in the small town of Castle Rock and he offers items to the townsfolk in exchange for an escalating series of pranks that could very well rip the town apart.

Jay Cheel is a writer/director/editor as well as a co-host of the podcast responsible for turning me into a podcaster, Film Junk. I thought why not talk with him right after dropping Episode 200 about his excellent Shudder series, Cursed Films which recently put out its second season that I highly encourage you to see. Always great to talk with such a talented, articulate filmmaker like Jay. His series, Cursed Films II covers new titles. The show explores the myths and legends behind some of Hollywood's notoriously cursed horror film productions and even tackles how the filmmakers and actors have been affected by being a part of films such as Stalker, The Wizard Of Oz, Rosemary's Baby, The Serpent & The Rainbow and ending this season with Cannibal Holocaust. Thank you so much Jay for this delightful, insightful conversation and stay tuned for more bonus content as well as Bill Ackerman's first episode as official co-host coming early next month! Also if you're in Chicago this coming weekend (May 13-19) be sure to come to the Chicago Critics Film Festival which I highlighted during the last review episode I posted.

The great Gabe Powers of DVDActive.com (and regular contributor to our site) returns to talk about the incredibly influential horror director Mario Bava. We focus on his debut Gothic horror classic BLACK SUNDAY as well as what is considered the first slasher film of its kind, TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE. We later expand upon some more of his other films as well. In addition, Jim dives into the past to track down films he hasn't seen since he was a teenager starting with DEAD OF WINTER, Gabe talks about the original GONE IN 60 SECONDS, and Patrick does something very special for the What We Watched segment by reviewing 19, yes 19 horror movies in the very first edition of the Director's Club Lightning Round!In about a week we will be talking with FilmJunk co-host and documentary filmmaker Jay Cheel for our first sequel episode to talk about more about John Carpenter, this time focusing on THE THING and THEY LIVE. Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show as well at 224-366-9528.

Jay Cheel of Film Junk, Kurt Halfyard of Row Three's Cinecast, and Zach Betonte of Film Jive join me in a quick 90-minute conversation about the two recently released films COMPLIANCE and THE IMPOSTER, both of which I think are two of the year's best. I have a couple of reservations about the latter which are brought up, but most of the debates surround the former. Overall you can expect a roundtable-style discussion as we examine two very interesting films that tackle true life stories about liars and manipulation. COMPLIANCE fictionalizes a real-life event that is shocking and stranger than fiction, and for some, this fictionalized approach doesn’t entirely work. THE IMPOSTER has been highly praised for its style and taut thriller-like execution (and rightfully so), and I mention a couple of things that lead to some questions surrounding documentary ethics and the way we perceive the events overall. For the most part, the conversation surrounds the idea of director intention and the way both stories are presented in distinctively challenging ways that spark some thought-provoking ideas about the way we watch movies based on true events. Since I realize both of these films are in limited release at the moment, I will promote this episode again once these two titles are out on DVD & Blu-Ray so you can listen to the discussion and maybe send us your thoughts/comments once you've had a chance to catch up with these movies, and I really hope that you do . Both of these movies are conversation-stimulators in the best way, and I couldn't have been happier that these three guests complied and came on the show for a lively bit of rambling. We will return to the regular format next week with Patrick as well, when guest Damon Houx joins us to talk about the great Wong Kar-Wai. - JimEmail us: directorsclubpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: http://directorsclubpodcast.com
Film Junk.com co-host and filmmaker Jay Cheel joins us for an in-depth discussion on the rather remarkable and innovative documentarian Errol Morris. We first interview Jay about his excellent feature-length documentary debut, BEAUTY DAY. In addition, we forgo the What We Watched segment to discuss the documentary genre as a whole and rundown a list of favorites. The main focus of the show is dedicated to Errol Morris' low-key debut GATES OF HEAVEN as well as his more stylish take on eccentric obsessives with FAST CHEAP & OUT OF CONTROL. We expand on a few more Morris films as well.In two weeks, BadAssDigest.com writer Phil Noble Jr, joins us to talk about the legendary horror master John Carpenter just in time for Halloween. Until next time, please send us your suggestions as well as any comments about Morris or any director we’ve discussed or will discuss on a future episode.
