On today's episode, I talk to screenwriter and podcaster Josh Olson. Originally from Philadelphia, Josh got his start in showbiz as a PA on Masters of the Universe and in 2002, wrote and directed his first film Infested. This gained Josh some attention, and in 2005, he wrote A History of Violence, which garnered him Oscar, BAFTA and WGA Award nominations. He's collaborated with Harlan Ellison, wrote the original draft of the Jack Reacher film and this is just a small sampling of his CV. As a podcaster, Josh co-hosted The West Wing Thing with Dave Anthony, which broke down the jarringly liberal show from a left perspective, and with Joe Dante, currently co-hosts the fantastic show The Movies That Made Me!

Welcome back to Not A Bomb, the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: is it a bomb? This week, Troy and Brad shrink down, suit up, and dive headfirst into the wild, high‑concept sci‑fi comedy Innerspace from 1987. It's one of those movies that sounds absolutely unhinged when you describe it out loud, yet somehow becomes charming, energetic, and weirdly heartfelt once you hit play.That's the Joe Dante magic. In the hands of a less capable director, Innerspace could've been a complete mess. The premise alone, a hotshot pilot miniaturized and accidentally injected into a hypochondriac grocery store clerk, is the kind of thing that could collapse under its own absurdity. But Dante threads the needle, blending cartoon logic, sci‑fi spectacle, slapstick comedy, and genuine sweetness into a film that shouldn't work but absolutely does. It's insane in the best way, and charming in a way only Dante seems able to pull off.Troy and Brad dig into the film's chaotic energy, its inventive effects, and the pitch‑perfect performances from Dennis Quaid and Martin Short, who somehow make the whole thing feel grounded even as it spirals into sci‑fi lunacy. And of course, they take a moment to appreciate Meg Ryan, because 1987 Meg Ryan was peak Meg Ryan. She lights up every scene she's in, adding warmth and charisma that elevate the movie even further.The guys also explore how Innerspace has evolved from a modest box office performer into a beloved cult favorite, why its blend of genres feels so unique today, and how Dante's playful filmmaking style keeps the movie from ever tipping into chaos.Grab your lab coat, avoid the rogue scientists, and prepare to get very, very small.Want to help support the show?

In this episode, we discuss ‘the best Jaws rip-off' - Joe Dante's original sci-fi horror Piranha stands out from the countless array of nature-bites-back flicks thanks to its in-your-face and unapologetic ode to genre filmmaking. Synopsis:When two hapless teens disappear after trekking past an abandoned military compound, skip tracer Maggie McKeown is sent to find them, unenthusiastically aided by local drunkard Paul Grogan. Whilst investigating the military compound, Maggie and Paul unwittingly release a swarm of blood thirsty, genetically modified piranhas into the river. Realising their mistake, they race against the clock, and the current, to save the town from a school of very hungry fish!Editing and theme music by Adam Hynes @adamnarrowsFollow the hosts of Monstrous Flesh on social media @monstrous_flesh and @monstrousmeg ****Show NotesCastBradford Dillman as Paul GroganHeather Menzies as Maggie McKeownKevin McCarthy as Dr. Robert HoakKeenan Wynn as JackDick Miller as Buck GardnerBarbara Steele as Dr. MengersBelinda Balaski as BetsyMelody Thomas Scott as Laura DickinsonShannon Collins as Suzie GroganBruce Gordon as Colonel WaxmanBarry Brown as TrooperPaul Bartel as DumontShawn Nelson as WhitneyRichard Deacon as Earl LyonJohn Sayles as SentryPiranha! | Plantasia Tropical Zoo How a President Propagated a Piranha Myth – Greater Cleveland Aquarium The Myth of the Sacred Piranha: The Fearsome Fish - Babylonian Mythology The Myth and Mayhem of Piranhas: Debunking the "Deadly" Reputation Piranha director Joe Dante on B-movies, Spielberg and ripping off Jaws - SciFiNow

This week we're back in Roger Corman territory with an early Joe Dante feature for New World Pictures, Piranha from 1978. When a pair of teenage hikers go missing in the Texas wilds, a bounty hunter will have to team up with a reclusive alcoholic weirdo to find them. Their search takes them to a secret research facility where they accidentally release a large number of genetically modified piranhas into the local river system where they will wreak havoc on a summer camp and a lakeside resort full of people just begging to be nibbled on by voracious carnivorous fish. Along the way our hapless heroes will have to outwit the cops and a military coverup. Piranha is an extraordinarily silly monster movie that is obviously doing everything it can to snatch some of that precious Jaws money the very same year that Universal released the much-anticipated Jaws 2. A lawsuit nearly stopped this movie in its tracks but were it not for Steven Spielberg himself, we might not have ever seen this highly enjoyable trainwreck of an exploitation movie.

El verano siempre ha tenido algo de película de videoclub: tardes interminables, olor a crema solar, playas abarrotadas, piscinas, refrescos, noches calurosas… y una carátula de VHS prometiéndote que, después de verla, nunca volverías a meterte tranquilo en el agua. En este especial de verano de Remake a los 80 nos sumergimos en los grandes terrores acuáticos del cine de finales de los 70, los 80: tiburones que no son tiburones, orcas vengativas, pirañas mutantes, laboratorios submarinos, criaturas viscosas, experimentos militares, monstruos del abismo y mucha serie B con sabor a palomitas, salitre y cinta rebobinada. Un episodio para celebrar ese cine que convertía el mar, los ríos, las plataformas submarinas y los parques acuáticos en auténticos escenarios de pesadilla. Películas imperfectas, exageradas, divertidas, terroríficas y profundamente ochenteras, donde lo importante no era siempre la lógica… sino que bajo el agua hubiera algo esperando. En este programa hablamos de: - Orca, la ballena asesina — 1977, dirigida por Michael Anderson. - Piraña — 1978, dirigida por Joe Dante. - Profundidad 6 — 1989, dirigida por Sean S. Cunningham. - Humanoides del abismo — 1980, dirigida por Barbara Peeters. - Leviathan, el demonio de las profundidades — 1989, dirigida por George P. Cosmatos. - La grieta — 1990, dirigida por Juan Piquer Simón.

Devin & James are back in the Den, and it's gonna be a hot one! That's because we are taking a look at SUMMER HORROR MOVIES, in which characters have their summer in the wilderness ruined by maniacs or savage beasts. Largely inspired by any combinations of Deliverance, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Jaws, these films filled the theaters for several years, with results being among both the most unique and the most formulaic of the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s.We start with 1976's "Jaws with Claws", GRIZZLY. Then we discuss the underrated RITUALS, starring the great Hal Holbrook. Then we dive into Joe Dante's brilliant PIRANHA. Things get bizarre when we visit the 1979 slasher TOURIST TRAP. Then we take a look at WITHOUT WARNING, about a pre-Predator alien on a hunting trip. We discuss what makes JUST BEFORE DAWN, THE FOREST, and THE PREY interesting among the many Friday the 13th wannabes before we check into the best of those, SLEEPAWAY CAMP. We finish off in 1993 with the video store classic, TICKS, starring Seth Green and Alfonso Ribeiro.So grab a six-pack of Mountain Dew and some frozen Otter Pops, because it's time to cool off with a summer movie marathon!
c'est un des films de lycanthropes les plus cultes de chez culte. Et cʹest promis, après, vous nʹaurez quʹune envie, hurler à la lune avec les protagonistes de cette histoire. Car le Loup-Garou de Londres, An American Werewolf, réalisé par John Landis en 1981, va faire basculer le mythe du loup-garou dans lʹunivers contemporain, en plein cœur de Londres. Un scénario simple, classique, mais avec un sous-texte interrogatif sur la part de monstruosité qui est en nous et surtout avec des effets spéciaux époustouflants pour lʹépoque. Les maquillages et les effets spéciaux sont dus à Rick Baker, ami de longue date du réalisateur, qui recevra lʹOscar du meilleur maquillage. Une première. A sa sortie, le film marque les esprits. Le film fait peur, mais faire rire à la fois. Tout le monde plébiscite les maquillages. Tout le monde adore le fait quʹil nʹy a pas de magie, de prophétie et que ça se passe ici et maintenant et pas dans les Carpates avec dʹautres monstres qui mangent des paysans. Le loup-garou de Londres, cʹest simplement lʹhistoire de deux pauvres touristes américains qui nʹont pas eu de chance, deux touristes qui font une mauvaise rencontre sur une lande anglaise. Après les Blues Brothers, John Landis sʹamuse à nous faire peur en exploitant les codes du genre, en le dépoussiérant, comme son comparse Joe Dante la même année, mais avec lʹhumour chevillée aux crocs de son loup. REFERENCES Paul Davis, Beware the Moon : The Story of An American Werewolf in London, Dead Mouse Productions Ltd, 2016 John Landis on American Werewolf, FilmSchoolarchive. Rick Baker on "An American Werewolf in London" An American Werewolf London 1981 Extras - Making of The creation Director John Landis, Oscar-winning makeup artist Rick Baker, producer George Folsey, Jr., and actor David Naughton explore the making of "An American Werewolf in London" at the Academy's screening on October 9, 2012 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, including a look at the werewolf and Rick Baker sculptures by Mike Hill, as part of the series "A Monstrous Centennial: Universal's Legacy of Horror."
This week on Once, When I Was Cool, we're heading back to the wonderfully weird world of 1984 to revisit a film that forever changed the meaning of holiday cheer. Cute, cuddly, mischievous, and downright terrifying, Gremlins remains one of the most unique movies of the decade—a genre-bending blend of comedy, horror, creature feature, and Christmas chaos. Directed by Joe Dante and produced by Steven Spielberg, Gremlins introduced audiences to Gizmo, the adorable Mogwai whose simple care instructions somehow prove impossible for humans to follow. What begins as a heartwarming gift quickly spirals into a night of mayhem as an army of destructive gremlins turns the quiet town of Kingston Falls into a playground of anarchy. Join us as we revisit the film's unforgettable practical effects, its dark sense of humour, and the surprising moments that pushed the boundaries of what audiences expected from a family movie. We'll explore how Gremlins helped inspire the creation of the PG-13 rating, examine the incredible creature work that still holds up today, and discuss why the film remains a holiday favourite more than forty years later. We'll also dive into the movie's darker themes, its satirical take on small-town America, and the strange balancing act that somehow makes it both a Christmas classic and a horror movie. So lock up the kitchen, keep an eye on the microwave, and whatever you do, don't feed them after midnight. It's time to find out whether Gremlins is still a holiday classic or just a nostalgic creature feature from a bygone era.

Joe talks with filmmaker Joe Dante ("Gremlins," "Innerspace," "The 'Burbs") about growing up in Livingston, watching atomic-age monster movies as a kid, and what the success of films like "Obsession" and "Backrooms" means for the future of moviegoing. Plus, Hongmei talks about music to get you in the spirit of the World Cup, and Kerri discusses some of the most anticipated books hitting our shelves in July.
Paul and Amy unwrap Gremlins, Joe Dante's delightfully chaotic holiday classic that proved cute can turn catastrophic in the blink of an eye. They trace the film's journey from Chris Columbus's much darker original script to Spielberg's Amblin-produced crowd-pleaser, and unpack the inspired decision to keep Gizmo a hero instead of remaining a villain. Along the way, they explore the film's sharp satire of consumerism, suburbia, and media overload, celebrate its groundbreaking practical effects, and revisit the PG-rated mayhem that helped give birth to the PG-13 rating.

For the first episode of our Acteurist Spotlight on Jennifer Jason Leigh, we watched Amy Heckerling's Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) and Paul Verhoeven's Flesh + Blood (1985). We explore the possibility of Heckerling's portrait of a young woman's existential journey through the good, the bad, and the ugly of sexual discovery influencing an early draft of the Verhoeven heroine, and the young JJL's unique combination of vulnerability and poise. Then we turn to an extra-long Fear and Moviegoing dealing with a 10-movie retrospective of radical leftist independent filmmaker John Sayles' career at the TIFF Lightbox Cinematheque, attended by Sayles and his producer/ life partner, Maggie Renzi.

Physical media has some upgraded gems this week so Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski get into some appreciative conversation. They include a James Garner detective tale that may have been the precursor to The Rockford Files. The final film of Wes Craven's career gets relitigated over its decade-long reevaluation. Christopher Walken delivers maybe the nuttiest performance of his career. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant close out ‘90s rom-coms in style. Joe Dante and Tom Hanks take a skewer to suburban placation that may be even more relevant today. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are one of the great comic pairings ever in an all-timer Hollywood satire. Finally, on the eve of Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg gets an 8-film box set.

It's a packed line-up of directors this week on The Interviews, folks. Directorpalooza? First up, we bring you an extended excerpt from our spoiler special interview with The Mandalorian And Grogu, Jon Favreau, who tells Chris Hewitt about his intentions behind the first big-screen Star Wars film in seven years. Then Chris leaps onto Zoom to have a lovely natter with the great Joe Dante about his beloved (eventually) 1987 sci-fi comedy, InnerSpace, which is out now on 4K UHD, and English director Mike Figgis about his hard-hitting, Oscar-winning drama, Leaving Las Vegas, which has also received the 4K UHD treatment. The Figgis chat is an extended excerpt from an hour-long deep dive into the movie which, like the Favreau interview and Team Empire diving deep into The Mandalorian And Grogu, can be found over on our spoiler special feed. empirespoilerspecials.com, if you haven't already taken the plunge. Enjoy!
Physical media fans from the 1980s will have a lot to rejoice upon this week (if you still carry a fondness for certain films of your youth) but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have plenty from various decades to add to your library this week. They include Bob Fosse's take on a free speech icon and the recent Academy Award winner for Best International Feature. Robert Wise's legendary haunted house film and a collection of classic cartoons. There is early work from Brian DePalma plus Art Carney as a private eye and Tony Randall in six roles. Plus, Peter finally caught up with Harry Hole. But for the nostalgia fans there is also the complete set of Sylvester Stallone's troubled war hero and Kevin Costner as the famed robber of the rich. John Lithgow adopts Bigfoot, Dan Aykroyd invades John Candy's vacation and Ron Howard delivers one of the quintessential comedies about family and parenting. Horror fans can take another New Years train ride with Jamie Lee Curtis or finally watch the “real” scenes of death your parents or video store may not have let you or lent you. Finally, a look at Joe Dante's Gremlins follow-up that 40+ years later still delights and still seeks a bigger audience.1:10 - Criterion (Lenny (4K), Sentimental Value (4K))13:19 - ClassicFlix (Fleischer Cartoons: Greatest Hits, Volume 1)15:20 - Shout Factory (The Haunting (1963) (4K))23:07 - Warner Archive (The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, The Late Show)38:39 - Radiance (Hi, Mom!

Step back into the panic, paranoia, and popcorn-fueled excitement of 1962 as Alec and Guest Joe Testa talk "Matinee!" Joe Dante's love letter to creature features, Cold War anxiety, and the magic of moviegoing. Starring John Goodman as eccentric horror showman Lawrence Woolsey, this cult classic blends satire, nostalgia, and coming-of-age storytelling against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis. We explore how Matinee captures the communal thrill of theatrical cinema, pays tribute to low-budget sci-fi and horror films of the 1950s and '60s, and quietly reflects on fear as both entertainment and political reality. We also dig into Dante's affectionate filmmaking style, the movie's surprisingly heartfelt performances, and why this underrated gem has become a favorite among cinephiles and horror fans alike. From atomic-age monsters to vibrating theater seats, join us as we celebrate one of the smartest and most charming movies ever made about the movies themselves.

This week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda are giving listeners a special sample of their Patreon sequel coverage with a deep dive into the gloriously chaotic Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Directed by Joe Dante, this sequel takes everything from the original Gremlins and cranks it to absolute cartoon insanity—mutant gremlins, fourth-wall breaks, satire of corporate America, and enough anarchic energy to short-circuit an entire skyscraper. Clay and Amanda unpack why Gremlins 2 has gone from misunderstood oddity to beloved cult comedy, and how Dante basically used a studio sequel to make fun of studio sequels.Now, personally? I've always felt the Gremlins films could stand to be a little more topical. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a tiny green monster hijacking a cable access show as much as the next person, but where are the gremlins discussing modern infrastructure concerns? Where's the scene where a gremlin spreads misinformation online? Why hasn't there been a thoughtful subplot about housing costs? You're telling me these creatures can genetically splice themselves into bat-gremlins and electricity-gremlins, but none of them has started an inflammatory podcast?Honestly, the closest Gremlins 2 gets is making fun of media saturation and corporate culture, which, credit where it's due, was pretty ahead of its time. But I'm just saying: if you're gonna unleash chaos monsters onto society, maybe let them tackle gig economy burnout or algorithm-driven outrage while they're at it. Imagine a gremlin testifying before Congress. That's cinema.Still, Clay and Amanda make a compelling case that Gremlins 2 works precisely because it's so unhinged. It's satire wrapped in slapstick wrapped in creature effects slime, and somehow it all holds together.So tune in, enjoy the madness, and remember: somewhere out there, there's probably already a cryptocurrency gremlin.And be sure to head over to Patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda as they dive into horror franchise sequels, and don't miss out on the special Patreon-only episode recorded at the Stanley Hotel in June!
