Podcasts about Midnight Madness

Welcome back to the Following Films Podcast! I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today we are taking a look at the sonic landscape of the summer's breakthrough film hit film.Joining me on the show is Rock Burwell. He is the brilliant mind behind the dread-inducing score for the hit psychological thriller Obsession, which originally blew audiences away during the Midnight Madness program at the Toronto International Film Festival.Working in close collaboration with director Curry Barker, Rock has crafted a soundtrack packed with smart synth work and atmospheric ambient cues. It masterfully explores the emotional undercurrents of the film, layering horror with warmth into pure, confrontational dread. It is easily one of the most exciting, disorienting, and genuinely great scores of the year.The Obsession Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is available right now thanks to the team at Waxwork Records, in partnership with Back Lot Music. You can grab your copy today on vinyl, CD, and cassette, or stream it wherever you get your music.Before we jump into my conversation with Rock about taking creative risks, finding comfort in discomfort, and building this incredible sonic world, do me a quick favor: hit that subscribe button for the Following Films Podcast so you never miss an interview.Now, let's get into it. Here is my conversation with Rock Burwell...

Midnight Madness Radio Episode 377 with The Longship, Lady Volcano, Memoira, Lightning Strikes, Masquerage, Gods & Punks, and Acacia Avenue.

Hablamos del festival Mad Horror que tendrá lugar en Madrid (y las películas de terror que cumplen aniversario este 2026) Los presentadores de esRadio, Dani Palacios y Juanma González, introducen un episodio nostálgico situado en junio de 2026, centrado en los aniversarios de emblemáticas películas de terror y la llegada de un nuevo gran evento a Madrid: el festival Mad Horror. Para hablar de este hito para el sector del cine, reciben a Mike Hostench, quien fuera codirector del Festival de Sitges durante dos décadas y que ahora pilota este ambicioso proyecto. Hostench explica que el festival está diseñado para combinar una convención de terror—con firmas de talentos, puestos de cómics y videojuegos—con un festival de cine boutique. La selección cinematográfica contará con lo mejor de certámenes prestigiosos como Sitges, el Fantastic Fest de Austin y el Midnight Madness de Toronto. Entre lo más destacado se encuentran diez largometrajes nuevos y diversos homenajes que traerán una experiencia única a la capital de España. El festival cuenta con un impresionante plantel de figuras legendarias invitadas, entre las que destacan Robert Englund, Linda Blair y Malcolm McDowell. Además, el certamen albergará tres grandes exposiciones: una dedicada al universo de la película Aliens, el regreso, que cumple 40 años; otra enfocada en la oscarizada empresa de efectos DDT; y una tercera que rinde tributo al maestro del terror español, Chicho Ibáñez Serrador. El evento también dispondrá de zonas experienciales, incluyendo tres túneles del terror—dos de ellos inspirados en el manga y el anime japonés—escape boxes y videojuegos. Hostench y los presentadores debaten sobre cómo el género de terror ha salvado históricamente a la industria cinematográfica en épocas de crisis, citando su capacidad para triunfar con presupuestos moderados y sin necesidad de contar con estrellas de Hollywood excesivamente caras. La conversación se traslada después a las efemérides históricas que se cumplen en 2026. Celebrando su 50.º aniversario se encuentra la obra maestra española ¿Quién puede matar a un niño?, dirigida por Serrador. También destacan los 40 años de Aliens, el regreso (1986) y de La mosca de David Cronenberg, enfatizando el impacto de estas películas en la evolución de los efectos especiales y la definición de géneros. El terror español ocupa un lugar central en la retrospectiva, destacando el 30.º aniversario de Tesis, la brillante ópera prima de Alejandro Amenábar, y los 25 años de Los otros y de la obra de Guillermo del Toro, El espinazo del diablo. Los locutores recuerdan también el enorme éxito internacional de Darkness, dirigida por Jaume Balagueró, que llegó a recaudar más de 22 millones de dólares en las taquillas de Estados Unidos. Por último, rememoran otros títulos de culto como El día de la bestia (1995), de Álex de la Iglesia, que tuvo una mítica andadura en el Cine Rex de Madrid, y No profanar el sueño de los muertos de Jorge Grau. También repasan rarezas extremas como Sardu o Street Trash, concluyendo que el cine fantástico y de terror patrio sigue siendo una potencia vibrante y respetada internacionalmente.

A short film has never met its moment like THE SEEING EYE DOG WHO SAW TOO MUCH (2026), which premiered at South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival this month. Of course it won the audience award -- how could it not? The film, as filmmaker Eric Jackowitz explains, is a homage to Italian giallo films, a mix of mystery horror and thriller films that peaked in the 1970s.Eric's career, as a filmmaker and musician based in Los Angeles, led him to this moment. He plays drums, attended the Berklee College of Music, and I'll say it: he's a brilliant director.The audience at SXSW agrees. And I think you will, too, after hearing our discussion.In this episode, Eric and I discuss:the first time reaction and sensory overload of seeing his award-winning film;why the film was so perfect for SXSW's Midnight Madness competition;what is giallo films and why he was drawn to making one of his own;how he got started in filmmaking and if he has any preferences in terms of writing, directing, and scoring films;what indie filmmakers don't understand about comedy and music in their films;his thoughts on the podcast space for filmmakers;hidden genres of indie films;what's next for him and his advice for people who didn't make SXSW with their films (with a crazy Judd Apatow story!);Eric's Indie Film Highlights: GRIND (2026) dir. by Brea Grant; Chelsea Stardust; Ed Dougherty; I LOVE BOOSTERS (2026) dir. by Boots RileyMemorable Quotes:"It's very mixed, but it ranges on a scale, right? There's people that really get it, who understand giallo films, who are horror fans, who are comedy fans. And then on the other end of it, there are people who are like, wow, I really like that. I don't really know what you were referencing."On giallo films: "And they're so bad. It's good. So good, it's good and so great, it's good.""And I feel like in a short block you have to, and with the goal of making a feature, you have to make as big of a announcement as possible.""Music is an afterthought.""I'm very happy to announce that I actually just quit my job podcasting."Links:Follow Eric On InstagramFollow THE SEEING EYE DOG WHO SAW TOO MUCH On Instagram

For IRM's 99th episode, Pax covers one of his holy grail novelizations, Midnight Madness from 1980!

Recorded live at the Toronto International Film Festival, David Peck sits down with filmmaker Bryan Fuller to discuss Dust Bunny, Fuller's darkly playful and deeply personal feature debut. What begins as a conversation about genre influences, Frankenstein, Blade Runner and Gremlins, turns inward, as Fuller reflects on childhood fear, imagination, and fairy tales. Together they explore how the film reframes monsters as emotional realities rather than fantasy creatures, and how humour, wonder, and visual style create both distance and healing. Dust Bunny emerges as a story for adults that is frightening, funny, and so tender. Bryan Fuller is an acclaimed writer, producer, and filmmaker celebrated for his visually striking, emotionally complex storytelling. He is best known as the creator of genre-defining television series including Hannibal, Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, and Dead Like Me, as well as his work on Star Trek: Discovery and American Gods. Across television, Fuller has built a reputation for blending dark humour, heightened fantasy, and deeply human themes, often exploring identity, trauma, and transformation through bold, imaginative worlds.With Dust Bunny, his feature-film debut, Fuller brings his singular voice to cinema. Premiering at TIFF's Midnight Madness, the film merges fairy tale, horror, and wit into a deeply personal story rooted in childhood fear and resilience. Whether working in television or film, Fuller continues to push genre boundaries, crafting stories that are visually lush, emotionally resonant, and unafraid to confront the monsters—real and imagined—that shape us.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue. As the host of Face2Face and former host of Toronto Threads on 640 AM, he has published over 650 in-depth interviews with some of the world's most compelling thinkers, artists and storytellers, including Viggo Mortensen, Sarah Polley, Raoul Peck, Werner Herzog, Chris Hadfield, David Cronenberg, Gillian Anderson and Wade Davis.With a background in philosophy and international development, David brings a thoughtful, globally aware perspective to every conversation.

That led to high-profile comedy films including Robert Zemeckis' I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Steven Spielberg's 1941, Midnight Madness, WarGames, and Grease 2. We explore his transition to independent films including cult favorites like Surf II, and his successful pivot to voice acting in the mid-80s, landing iconic roles as Mandark in Dexter's Laboratory and the Know-It-All in The Polar Express. You can keep up with all things Deezen by following Eddie on Facebook.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.
