Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael J Epstein

For our landmark 200th episode of Another Goddamn Horror Podcast, we welcome back independent horror powerhouses Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein for a deep dive into one of the most debated topics in horror: the politics of the genre. This conversation was sparked by Damien Leone's recent controversial comments about the role of politics in horror movies and in his films specifically. We unpack not only his take, but the broader history of political commentary in horror, from the subversive messaging of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead to the revolutionary spirit of modern indie horror. Sophia and Michael bring their unique perspectives as filmmakers who blend horror, science fiction, and political themes into their work, making this discussion one of the richest and most thought-provoking we have ever had. We talk about how horror has always been political, why filmmakers should not shy away from social commentary, and how some of the most terrifying films are deeply tied to the cultural fears and struggles of their times. From slashers to creature features to psychological thrillers, we explore how horror reflects and challenges society, and why ignoring the political nature of the genre misses the point entirely. If you love independent horror films, horror film analysis, political horror movies, or are just obsessed with what makes horror tick, this is an episode you cannot miss. Packed with smart insights, fiery debates, and deep love for the genre, it is the perfect way to celebrate 200 episodes of horror podcasting. horror podcast, best horror podcasts, political horror movies, Sophia Cacciola interview, Michael J.

Between them, Michael and Sophia have over 70 credits ranging from writing, directing, cinematography, acting, editing, and scoring. We are also joined by professional makeup artist, Julie Powers. We talk about how the pandemic affected the business and the things they did to continue working despite being locked down. We also talk about their influences, how they learned as they created, and why it's sometimes just best to make a movie about your dog being a vampire. We also discuss the cheesy joy of The Prisoner, making music, and why gore is always more fun that dialogue.

I (Chris) have long suspected The Prisoner is a show with a particular appeal to creative people, and I love to be proven right.  Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling is a Prisoner-inspired punk duo comprised of filmmakers/musicians/writers/creators/etc. Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein. When we saw their video for "Arrival" — a meticulous, two-years-in-the making recreation of The Prisoner's opening title sequence — we knew we had to meet them. From this wildly ambitious and improbably successful short film, they graduated to making features, as they tell us in a conversation that reaches far beyond The Prisoner to address the joys and the confines of fandom. Plus, I learned a new word. Watch their "Arrival" video here! Find their music on Bandcamp! And learn more about their current activities — and hire them if you want! — here. "Arrival" "A., B., & C." "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" "Hammer into Anvil" "Living in Harmony" "Many Happy Returns" "The Girl Who Was Death" "Once Upon a Time" Written by Sophia Cacciola; performed by  Sophia Cacciola (vocals, drums) and Michael J. Epstein (bass, programming, additional vocals).

Michael J. Epstein returns to discuss open my eyes to some pretty obvious religious allegory in Conan the Barbarian (1982), and I gush about how the 13-year-old Dungeons & Dragons nerd in me still loves Conan the Destroyer (1984), and neither one of us makes any new friends among Kevin Sorbo fans. Michael is one of the filmmakers who will be joining me to create FAT FLESHY FINGERS, a feature-length anthology film directed entirely by alumni filmmakers of the Sick 'n' Wrong Film Festival.

Musician/logician/filmician Michael J. Epstein and I prepare ourselves to rewatch Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991), and the conversation quite naturally shifts to torture porn, the pyramids at Giza, and supposedly feminist rape-revenge movies. I mean, obviously, right?   You can find Michael's work at https://launchover.com/   If you missed Liquid Television from back in the day, all the “Psychogram” segments are assembled at https://youtu.be/-Y678pI9ry0    Finally, the Mongolian rape-revenge movie I mentioned was actually Indonesian, which I screwed up because I'm dumb. It's called Malina the Murderer in Four Acts, and you can see the trailer at https://youtu.be/sTuAVGhmgto

This is a special edition of the Department of Tangents Podcast, a look back at the year in horror films with filmmakers, musicians, and writers Michael J. Epstein and Sophia Cacciola, who released their own horror film in 2018 called Clickbait. We talked about the best, the most disappointing, and a few mixed reviews, including bigger releases like Hereditary, A Quiet Place, Halloween, Sorry To Bother You, the Suspiria remake, Annihilation, and Mandy, as well as some indie releases like the Kane Hodder documentary To Hell and Back, the video game-themed Livescream, the generically named Horror Movie: A Low-Budget Nightmare. We also discussed some larger questions about the genre, whether we're in a horror boom at the moment, and why there's still a stigma involved in calling your work “horror.” Mike and Sophia have no qualms with the term, which you already know if you listened to episode five of the podcast when they discussed their Hammer-esque film Blood of the Tribades. They believe the term applies to their latest, Clickbait, which is about a viral video star who is stalked by a killer. But the movie is also a comedy and a satire, with a wonderful through line of commercial parodies for radioactive toaster pastries called Toot Strudels. Epstein mentioned a term he quite likes that is found more often in the European film world – Cinema Fantastique, which implies a kind of wild spectacle. And if you love the idea of Toot Strudels, you can actually buy t-shirts emblazoned with three different flavors on Amazon. Clickbait (2019) - Trailer from Launch Over - Cacciola / Epstein on Vimeo. A note about this episode, it was supposed to come out several weeks ago, but I was knocked out of commission for most of December with an illness. I'm on the mend now, and new episodes are on the way, but there will be another short break of a couple of weeks before the show picks up again. I want to thank you for your patience, and wish you a happy and healthy New Year. I'll be back soon with more music, comedy, and horror to inform and delight you, including several episodes I recorded at this year's NorthEast Comic Con & Collectibles Extravaganza. This episode's featured track is “Alone” from Whispering Sons, a post-punk outfit from Brussels, Belgium. It's from their first full-length album, Image, which they recorded after moving to the big city as a group. That accounts in part for the recurring theme of feeling out of step with your surroundings. One of the refrains here is, “They move so slowly when they're not afraid/And I just keep moving at a different rate/It's a kind of stillness, I can't relate.” Juxtapose that with the moving pulse of the bass and drums and the stuttering, glassy-sounding guitar. The press materials mention the music is for fans of The Damned and Joy Division, and that's applicable. But frontwoman Fenne Kuppens' glowering low-register vocals remind me a bit of Nick Cave. See what you think.

A college student who will do just about anything for Internet fame is kidnapped by a fan, and her reluctant roommate is the only one who can save her in this horror satire of popularity...
