In this special bonus episode, Bechdel Steph talks to podcaster and author Mallory O'Meara about her book on the legacy of makeup artist Milicent Patrick, who designed the Creature from the 1954 horror classic, Creature From The Black Lagoon. Milicent was often uncredited for her work and not taken as seriously as her male colleagues, and Mallory's biography of her life and career is a fascinating exploration of how one woman navigated the male-dominated film industry in the mid-20th century. Mallory O'Meara's book, The Lady From The Black Lagoon, is available in UK book shops now. Who Is She? A Bechdel Test Fest Podcast is a Bechdel Test Fest production.

History is written by the winners. By men. Early editors of science fiction anthologies chose to exclude works by women, and in doing so, made many believe that women did not write science fiction in the genre’s earliest years. This is just a single example and by no means exhaustive. Mallory O’Meara, self-confessed monster lover […] The post Hollywood Monsters – with Mallory O'Meara first appeared on Breaking the Glass Slipper.

This week we are joined by the amazing author and producer Mallory O’Meara. Some may know her as one of the hosts of the Maximum Fun podcast Reading Glasses. But she is here today to talk about 2020’s sea shanty bonanza, Blow the Man Down. She and April get into the nitty-gritty of the creative process and discuss why some projects take longer to correctly finish. Mallory also talks about what brought her to writing her book The Lady from the Black Lagoon about Milicent Patrick, “the only woman in history to create one of Hollywood’s classic movie monsters.” Mallory also hammers home that women are not just joining the cultural conversation after #MeToo, but have always been there, contributing to history.Listen to Reading Glasses and check out Mallory’s book The Lady from the Black LagoonPlease check out storyblocks.com/SWITCHBLADEAlso, please consider financially supporting our show by becoming a Maximum Fun member at Maximumfun.org/joinIf you haven’t seen Blow the Man Down – it’s great!With April Wolfe and Mallory O’Meara.

A moving, darkly funny novel about six teens whose magic goes wildly awry from Magic for Liars author Sarah Gailey, who Chuck Wendig calls an "author to watch." Keeping your magic a secret is hard. Being in love with your best friend is harder. Alexis has always been able to rely on two things: her best friends, and the magic powers they all share. Their secret is what brought them together, and their love for each other is unshakeable--even when that love is complicated. Complicated by problems like jealousy, or insecurity, or lust. Or love. That unshakeable, complicated love is one of the only things that doesn't change on prom night. When accidental magic goes sideways and a boy winds up dead, Alexis and her friends come together to try to right a terrible wrong. Their first attempt fails--and their second attempt fails even harder. Left with the remains of their failed spells and more consequences than anyone could have predicted, each of them must find a way to live with their part of the story. Mallory O’Meara is the bestselling author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon, along with being a screenwriter and film producer.

On this episode on PENNING TERROR, host David Ian McKendry sits down with Mallory O'Meara, author of the fascinating book The Lady From the Black Lagoon!

Kaytee and Mindy are handling this week while Meredith recovers from surgery. We are so glad to have Mindy step in during tough times! As we get started, you’ll hear our first advertisement on the podcast. We have always said we’d be extremely discerning about advertisers, so Book of the Month was a perfect match for us, since we are both loyal (paying) customers. We hope you’ll give them a try and get your first book for just $9.99 when you use the code CURRENTLYREADING! If you’re interested, please use our link so they know we sent you.

Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. Every single book this week was a “turn” from the previous title discussed, so we are running the gamut. For our deep dive this week, we are chatting about reading while sick. Mindy and Kaytee were both battling viruses this week of different kinds, so we talk about how illness effects our reading lives and the tips we have to keep reading while you’re not feeling 100 percent. Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands: we’ve got a brick of a biography and a collection of stories that will open your heart.

Why do so many horror movies and stories feature terrifying women? Why do male creators treat female bodies and women’s sexuality as intrinsically terrifying? And what happens when women get to create their own monsters and horror narratives? Plus we talk to Mallory O’Meara about her new book The Lady from the Black Lagoon.

This episode of the Creepy Kingdom Cinema Crypt was recorded live at Midsummer Scream on 8/4/19 in Long Beach, CA.  We are joined by our special guest Mallory O’Meara, author of the book “The Lady From the Black Lagoon”, the biography of Milicent Patrick.  She was the uncredited designer of the Gil-Man costume from the classic film “The Creature From The Black Lagoon” and she was one of the first female animators at Disney Studios.

Mix the sly, coming-of-age elements of Lev Grossman’s The Magicians with the noir and edge of Jessica Jones, shake well, and serve over ice to get Magic for Liars, the debut novel from Hugo Award nominee and debut author Sarah Gailey. Magic for Liars channels the flushed, youthful intensity of Megan Abbott’s You Will Know Me with a school for mages, hidden in the hills of southern California, as its backdrop. Ivy Gamble, a disagreeable and non-magical private investigator with a slight drinking problem, works to solve a murder at a school for mages where her estranged (and very magically talented) sister teaches. The dark and fantastic secrets she uncovers not only shed a stark light on her case, but on her own family history and the life she could have had. Gailey is in conversation with Mallory O'Meara, bestselling author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon, among with being a screenwriter and film producer.

Film producer and author Mallory O'Meara joins the Beards to discuss her massively successful non-fiction book The Lady From the Black Lagoon, which rewrites Hollywood history and corrects an enormous injustice. Chris and Jim try very hard to get her to break her film or TV development non-disclosure agreements, and the Beards remember Kirby, the Atomic Frenchie. All that and more!

Rounding out the interviews that Eric and I did at the Chattanooga Film Festival is our interview with Mallory O'Meara, author of The Lady From the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick. And just like our interviews with Brian Salisbury (of Junkfood Cinema) and Rebekah McKendry, Rob Galluzzo, and Elric Kane (of Shock Waves), talking with Mallory was one of the things that we were most excited about for CFF 2019 (and all of which were part of the teaser announcement before any of the films were even announced)!! Anyone who has ever met me and talked about movies with me for more than about five minutes knows that The Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of my favorite movies and probably my favorite Universal Monster (I mean, all of the monsters are pretty great...but there is something just so unique about the creature). And if you've listened to any of our pre-coverage episodes leading up to CFF 2019, you know that both Eric and I absolutely LOVED Mallory's book!! So, it was an incredible honor to be able to talk horror, the creature, Milicent, and social justice with Mallory O'Meara!! If you haven't yet, I strongly recommend picking up a copy of The Lady from the Black Lagoon - or, support your local library and check out a copy (if they don't have it, request that they get it!)! Eric and I loved the book and we can't wait to see what else Mallory has in store for the future!! If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast as we continue our coverage of the 2019 Chattanooga Film Festival!! Upcoming episodes will include reviews of all of the movies that played at CFF that we were able to see (and potentially another interview or two with special CFF guests - though, not actually recorded during CFF).

While I want to just have the description of this episode be "Read the description of the Shock Waves interview, but intensify the silliness exponentially!!" - which would be completely accurate (Junkfood Cinema was part of the CFF teaser announcement and it was one of the things that we were most excited about for the entire fest because Jukfood Cinema, like Shock Waves, is one of our absolute favorite podcasts!!) - that does not fully do justice to the excitement that Eric and I had in interviewing Brian Salisbury of Junkfood Cinema!! The giddiness and genuine love (not to mention their wealth of cinematic knowledge) that Brian Salisbury and C. Robert Cargill have for movies (especially movies that are not always loved by the majority of movie-goers) makes each and every episode informative and endlessly entertaining!! Junkfood Cinema has a tremendous impact on The Gargyle Podcast, so it was an incredible honor to be able to podcast with Brian and spend time with him at the Chattanooga Film Festival!! If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast as we continue our coverage of the 2019 Chattanooga Film Festival!! Upcoming episodes will include another special episode recorded during the Chattanooga Film Festival - with special guest Mallory O'Meara (author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon) - as well as reviews of all of the movies that played at CFF that we were able to see.

Eric and I have been talking about how excited we were about Shock Waves being at the Chattanooga Film Festival ever since they were first announced in the teaser announcement a few months ago...and with good reason! With interesting guests, discussions of a wide variety of horror movies, and hosts whose personalities could easily single-handedly carry the entire podcast (but thankfully they combine their forces to form the Captain Planet of horror podcasts), Shock Waves is easily one of our favorite podcasts! So it was an extreme honor and pleasure to be able to podcast with Rebekah McKendry, Rob Galluzzo, and Elric Kane (unfortunately Ryan Turek was not able to be there)!! In fact, I was so excited to be podcasting with Shock Waves that I even forgot how I started the podcast (even though I podcasted with Elric a few months ago at the Knoxville Horror Film Festival and was in communication with Rebekah in getting the interview lined up, I was still overwhelmed with excitement). So, it should go without saying that interviewing Shock Waves was absolutely one best experiences of this year's Chattanooga Film Festival!! If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast as we continue our coverage of the 2019 Chattanooga Film Festival!! Upcoming episodes will include special episodes recorded during the Chattanooga Film Festival - with special guests Brian Salisbury (from Junkfood Cinema) and Mallory O'Meara (author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon) - as well as reviews of all of the movies that played at CFF that we were able to see.

Tigers are not Afraid is an absolutely amazing movie and I have not been able to stop talking about it since I saw it at the 2018 Chattanooga Film Festival (so, I guess it technically still kinda fits with our CFF coverage), so Eric and I could not pass up the opportunity to share our excitement (even though we recorded this as soon as we found out, we are a bit delayed in actually getting it posted)!! This is just a mini-sode to discuss the announcement...but rest assured that there will definitely be a full review episode once Tigers are not Afraid is released!

The Chattanooga Film Festival is one of my favorite times of year and the days following the end of the fest are always bittersweet for me. I always hate walking out of the theater after the last movie of the weekend and saying goodbye to all of the people I've met, but am always exceedingly grateful for the experiences I've had and the friends I've made. There is just something magical about how so much creativity, camaraderie, and love and passion for cinema all converges at the Chattanooga Film Festival. It is a labor of love, so a tremendous "thank you" and "y'all freaking rock!" to Chris Dortch and everyone that was involved in making CFF happen once again!! And in this episode of The Gargyle Podcast, Eric and I give an overview of the weekend and recount some of our favorite stories/experiences in an attempt to explain what makes the Chattanooga Film Festival so amazing!! This is just the first of many episodes in our CFF 2019 coverage! Upcoming episodes will include reviews of all of the movies that played at CFF that we were able to see, as well as special episodes recorded during the Chattanooga Film Festival - with special guests Brian Salisbury (from Junkfood Cinema), Rebekah McKendry, Rob Galluzzo, & Elric Kane (from Shock Waves), and Mallory O'Meara (author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon)!!

Just when you think you’ve heard every showbiz story worth hearing, special guest Mallory O’Meara joins us for the strange, infuriating tale of the uncredited woman behind The Creature From the Black Lagoon. Detailed in her new book, Lady From... Read more

Today on FilmWeek Larry Mantle and KPCC film critics Lael Loewenstein and Peter Rainer review this weekend’s new movie releases. We also discuss the lost legacy of movie monster maker Milicent Patrick with author Mallory O'Meara.

Milicent Patrick should be a recognizable name and a role model for several generations of young girls with filmmaking dreams. As the only woman ever to design a classic movie monster, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and one of the first female animators at Disney, she blazed a trail that up-and-comers should have been able to follow. But instead, her story was lost. She was denied credit for her work. And for over sixty years, her legacy was buried. When author Mallory O’Meara first watched The Creature from the Black Lagoon as a teen, her monster-loving heart fell hard. As she began to investigate the film, she made a game- changing discovery: the identity of the Creature’s creator. Milicent instantly became her idol and Mallory needed to find out more about this visionary. But her inquiries were frustratingly inconclusive. Why, Mallory wondered, isn’t Milicent Patrick celebrated for her transcendent achievements? How is it that women especially are in the dark about her significance? What happened to her? And why has she been erased so completely from cinema history? Eventually the writer and filmmaker realized that if she wanted answers to these questions, then she needed to unearth them herself. A standout debut that doubles as a call to action, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick chronicles Mallory’s journey to find the enigmatic Milicent Patrick and her own, similar trials in the male-centric world of film and horror. Extensively researched and vividly rendered, this true-life detective story uncovers a fascinating woman blessed with talent, looks, charisma and resilience whose pursuit of an unconventional path yielded movie magic. Piecing together the evidence, Mallory tracks Milicent from her early years spent on the periphery of Hearst Castle and her training at a prestigious art institute to her flourishing career, which was snuffed out by a jealous male colleague at Universal Studios, and her reinvention in the wake of that devastating blow. Along the way, Mallory explores Milicent’s thorny family dynamics, examines her personal and professional relationships, traces her artistic evolution, delves into the gender bias she contended with on the job and so much more. A strikingly original blend of history, biography, and memoir, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON unfolds an eye-opening read from a unique perspective. Reporting from the inside, Mallory gets candid about her experiences in Hollywood, which illustrate the importance of Milicent Patrick as a pioneer and the resounding impact of her work to this day, including how her creations have inspired countless films and spinoffs, most notably The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s 2017 triumph. At once a passion project and an incisive take on movie industry sexism then and now, THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON offers an essential appreciation of an influential innovator as it foregrounds a behind-the-scenes cinematic culture that would seem all too familiar to Milicent Patrick. Mallory O’Meara is an author, screenwriter and genre film producer. Every week, she co-hosts the literary podcast Reading Glasses. Whether it's for the screen or the page, Mallory seeks creative projects imbued with the weird; horror and monsters are her passion. She lives in Los Angeles with her partner and their collection of books and cats. THE LADY FROM THE BLACK LAGOON is her first book.

Kurt Andersen talks with author and filmmaker Mallory O’Meara about her new book “The Lady From the Black Lagoon,” the story of Milicent Patrick, who designed one of Hollywood’s most famous monsters but didn’t get credit for it.

As the Chattanooga Film Festival draws ever nearer, Eric and I continue on with our pre-coverage of this year's CFF by recounting previous years of CFF. On tonight's episode, we discuss films from the 2017 Chattanooga Film Festival. As I mentioned on the previous episode, the Chattanooga Film Festival is so much more than just the movies...it is a cinematic experience and an opportunity to talk with other people who love cinema just as much as you do (including many of the people involved in making the films screened at CFF)...but, obviously the movies are a pretty major part. And while I wish that each episode leading up to CFF could be a deep-dive into every single movie screened each year, that just isn't possible. So, instead, each week we will be focusing on a few movies that really highlight the Chattanooga Film Festival experience from each of the previous years that I have attended (this will be the fourth year that I have attended CFF and the first year that Eric has attended) as a way to give Eric (and our listeners) a glimpse of what CFF is like. The criteria for the movies picked from each year are: 1) they are movies that I saw during the film festival that year, 2) they are movies that are available online (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), 3) they are movies that represented the experience of the film fest, rather than just being a good movie (there are some movies that are great movies, but you could get roughly the same experience seeing them in any movie theater...and there are other movies that might not necessarily be as "good," but it will be an experience that you are not likely to have outside of a film festival). With those criteria in mind, the films from 2017 that are covered in tonight's episode are: Dave Made A Maze, Feeding Time, Sequence Break, The Dragon Lives Again and The Zodiac Killer(both presented by the American Genre Film Archive), David Lynch: The Art Life, Dayveon, and The Devil's Candy, along with some brief highlights about The Monster Squad and The Void. We end the episode talking about The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick - by Mallory O'Meara. The Chattanooga Film Festival will be screening The Creature from the Black Lagoon, pairing it with a talk by Mallory O'Meara. So, in preparation, Eric and I have both been reading her book (and we both very highly recommend it!) For tickets or more information (including complete lists of films screened each year) go to chattfilmfest.org - and be sure to follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter to stay up to date on announcements for CFF 2019. And be sure to come back soon for more cinematic discussions on The Gargyle Podcast!! Up next will be a break from our CFF coverage as we interview Bill Fulkerson and Kyle Kuchta on their documentary, Survival of the Film Freaks (which won a Gargyle Award during our Knoxville Horror Film Fest coverage for "movie that I am most excited to share with someone else"). After that, we will return to our CFF pre-coverage by discussing some of the films from CFF 2018. gargylereviews.wixsite.com/thegargyle music from besound.com

Amanda and Jenn discuss non-Eurocentric world history, diverse read-alikes for Vonnegut and Hemingway, and beginners romance in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

She did her degree in English literature but as a mother of five she really hasn’t had much time to read over the last fifteen years or so! She recently read Destiny Disrupted by Tamim Ansary on holiday and that sort of kick-started her return to reading, so I’m looking for something maybe in a similar-ish vein – Middle Eastern/Islamic history, or world history through a non-Euro-centric lens? I’ve already bought her ‘This Orient Isle’ and ‘A History of the World in Twelve Maps’, both by Jerry Brotton. Nothing too long, please, as she still doesn’t have a massive amount of time to dedicate to reading, and if you can find anything written by not-a-white-man that would be extra great! Thank you so much for the show (I don’t think my TBR will ever recover, but it’s fine!), and can’t wait to see what you come up with! -Hana   2. Jenn and Amanda, I recently devoured The Alienist after being intrigued by the premise of the TNT show and I’m looking for books with a similar vibe. I loved the way the book pulled in the Criminal Mind’s-esque intellectual sleuthing and the rich atmospheric setting of a literary novel, and the pacing was fantastic. Can you recommend some similar books that combine a mystery/thriller plot with a setting-as-character feel? -Kaitlyn   3.Hey Jenn and Amanda, My friends and I were talking the other day and we realized that we don’t know of any recent books that are written from the perspective of the best friend of “The Chosen One.” We figured that Sherlock Holmes, parts of the Percy Jackson series and The Great Gatsby would kind of fall into that category but nothing else came to mind. We would love to read something from the perspective of a Ron Weasley or Sam Gamgee type character who’s always seeing their best friend get into trouble and getting dragged into it themselves. We’re open to any genre but we especially love fantasy. Thanks for the help! -Allyson, Stef and TJ   4. Hi Jenn and Amanda, I just finished Bonfire by Kristen Ritter and with the adaptation of Sharp Objects coming up I am looking for more books like these. In particular I’m looking for small town mystery/psychological thrillers where a woman with some sort of dark past comes back and tries to reconcile the past. The best ones are the sort where a current mystery drags up some awful stuff from the past. I’ve read all the Tana French and Gillian Flynn books but otherwise I’m pretty new to the genre so anything like this would be great. The darker the better, so bring it on. P.S. I also read and loved luckiest girl alive if that helps -Amy   5. Hello ladies, I come to your podcast for your love of diversity. I was wondering if you could come up with some diverse readalikes for some of my favorite dead white guys: Hemingway, Camus, Bukowski, Vonnegut. Any recommendations that are not white or male are welcome. -Brian   6. I am a huge fan of your podcast (and in major awe of how many books you ladies get through in short periods of time…can you say #GOALS??) I recently read a book by Katy Regnery called The Vixen and the Vet which is a modern fairy tale retelling of Beauty and the Beast that features a wounded warrior as the love interest. This book hit many of my sweet spots and I find myself craving more wounded warrior romances as well as more modern day fairy tale retelling romances. I would like to stay away from any romance books that feature insta-love (a literary pet peeve of mine) or extremely graphic violence on the page. What suggestions do you have for me? P.S. My name is pronounced Maa-reh-lees. -Marelis   7. I am in a book club with a fantastic group of women. We tend to read mostly literary fiction, but have also enjoyed memoirs and the occasional thriller. One of our members is a romance lover and she gamely reads everything the rest of us suggest without complaint, yet we have never tackled her favorite kind of book. I’d like to propose a romance as our next selection. Can you recommend a romance that would be good for those of us who aren’t necessarily fans of this genre as well as good for a group discussion? thanks so much – love the podcast! -Dana   Books Discussed Mahimata by Rati Mehrotra State Tectonics by Malka Older Insurrecto by Gina Apostol The Faithful Scribe by Shahan Mufti Fingersmith by Sarah Waters The Gods of Gotham by Lyndsay Faye (tw: so much harm to children) The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness (rec’d by Rincey) Slayer by Kiersten White Into the Water by Paula Hawkins After the Eclipse by Sarah Perry (rec’d by Jamie Rochelle) Severance by Ling Ma (Vonnegut) The Occasional Virgin by Hanan al-Shaykh (tw: family violence) The Escape by Mary Balogh All Beautiful Things by Nicki Salcedo The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole

I initially picked this movie because of just one scene that a friend told me about during a monthly film discussion - I knew absolutely nothing else about this movie other than that one scene. And while it is certainly a memorable scene, this movie was so much more awesome than I expected! There are certainly some flaws (most notably, pacing issues and the fact that the plot does tend to get a bit lost in the action....the awesome, awesome action), but the impressive fight scenes, serious plot (once it gets around to it), and characters that you genuinely care about...it's no wonder why Men from the Monastery (while not perfect) is one of Chang Cheh's stand-out films in the Shaw Bros. catalog!! So, join The Gargyle and The Chimerican as we discuss why we love Men from the Monastery as much as we do!! Since February is both Black History Month as well as Women in Horror Month, each episode in our Kung Fu-bruary series will start with segments honoring African Americans in cinema, as well as women in horror. For tonight's episode, we honor Dope and Dayveon - two coming-of-age movies with drastically different tones (but, both awesome in their own right!!). For Women in Horror Month, we honor Slumber Party Massacre and Stacy Title, director of... among other things... Hood of Horror (for an additional tie-in with Black History Month) and The Last Supper. Also, as we've done on the last few episodes, we continue to highlight the Chattanooga Film Festival - April 11-14. Tonight, we highlight that Mallory O'Meara's book, The Lady from the Black Lagoon, is available for pre-order on Amazon! We also remind you of the programming that has been announced so far: Joe Bob Briggs, Everything is Terrible, Shock Waves Podcast, Junkfood Cinema Podcast, a screening of The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and a presentation by author Mallory O'Meara. As a reminder, the CFF fundraiser to be able to provide classes and workshops for free during the festival is still going on!

Jordan Shiveley and Brock Wilbur invite Mallory O'Meara (@malloryomeara) of the new book "The Lady from the Black Lagoon" to come join for the first episode of Season The Second. Mallory discusses the elusive D.B. Cooper, and then goes down a deep dark hole of creativefolk fears and insecurities. It's a delightful time for kids of all ages! Keep your teeth sharp and many, and your hearts dark and true. Produced by Daniel Logan. https://voidmerch.threadless.com/collections/caring-into-the-void-podcast-merch/

Continuing with our Kung Fu-bruary series (which was picked by you, the listeners!), tonight's movie is Enter the Dragon. While this movie is definitely more Westernized and almost feels more like a traditional James Bond film than it does a traditional kung fu film, it is undeniably a great action movie with one of the greatest martial artist of all time, Bruce Lee! So, join The Gargyle and The Chimerican as we discuss why we love Enter the Dragon as much as we do (spoiler alert: it might involve the fact that Bruce Lee smacks a cobra...)!! Since February is both Black History Month as well as Women in Horror Month, each episode in our Kung Fu-bruary series will start with segments honoring African Americans in cinema, as well as women in horror. For tonight's episode, we honor Blaxsploitation cinema for Black History Month. While problematic on the surface (in large part due to the use of racial stereotypes), Blaxsploitation cinema was an an outlet for many African American writers, directors, and actors/actresses to address themes of social injustice, as well as present African American characters as powerful individuals rather than just relegated to comic relief or overlooked side-characters. For Women in Horror Month, we honor all of the women who have been involved in the horror movies that we have seen in film festivals over the past few years (especially those who were able to attend the film fests as well). We list as many as we can remember, but we know that it is not an exhaustive list. We could have spent an entire month just talking about the women who have been involved in recent horror movies that we absolutely love! So, if we left you off of the list, we deeply apologize and we want you to know that most certainly have not left you out of our hearts!! Also, as we've done on the last few episodes, we continue to highlight the Chattanooga Film Festival - April 11-14. Tonight, we specifically address the programming that has been announced so far: Joe Bob Briggs, Everything is Terrible, Shock Waves Podcast, Junkfood Cinema Podcast, a screening of The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and a presentation by author Mallory O'Meara. As Eric and I both posted as soon as the announcement was made last week - the programming is like it is being tailor made for us and we cannot even begin to explain how excited we are about the Chattanooga Film Festival this year (and this is before any of the movies, other than Creature from the Black Lagoon, have been announced)!! As a reminder, the CFF fundraiser to be able to provide classes and workshops for free during the festival is still going on!
