In some of Hollywood's best-loved movies, Jack Nicholson played jokers, sailors, inmates – even the Devil himself. But he never played by the rules. He allegedly mooned a crowd of thousands at a basketball game. His bedroom kinks were laid bare in the papers. He fought the MPAA and the LAPD. And in 1994, he attempted to establish his own set of rules when he attacked an idling Mercedes-Benz with a two-iron.

Send us a textHONKYTONK MAN TGTPTU continues to play its old hits with Episode 5 of Season 14, its redux series season celebrating five years and don't you worry about us, hoss, we'll get through this pairing of Eastwood flicks starting with HONKYTONK MAN (1982).  Originally discussed toward the end of the epic run covering all of Clint Eastwood's filmography (Season 3, Episode 12), founding cohosts Ken and Jack invite the show's newer hosts Ryan and Thomas in to session with fresh ears and silver tongues on this adaptation of the Dust Bowl era, vaguely veiled retelling of the final years of country wester legend Jimmie Rodgers novel by Clancy Carlile adapted by him and Eastwood into a semi-comedic bildungsroman road trip movie.  Two years prior to the creation of the PG-13 rating by the MPA (né MPAA), this Eastwood-directed and starring flick brings in Eastwood's own son Kyle, roughly 14 years of age at the time, to play the nephew of a singer/songwriter who gets into all kinds of trouble with his honkytonk uncle man, from underage driving to poultry theft to jailbreaking and whoring (procured, not proffered) and contact marijuana highs and hit song composing between f-bombs and s-words and statutory rape.  Original ep guest Patrick drops in with some words of encouragement before the gents figure out on mic that this movie was Ryan's other rewatch flick pick and the show gets on the road with recently promoted host Ryan having things to say about the music scoring; Thomas checking facts like a hockey enforcer checks bodies on the ice; Ken having a spell during which he actively hallucinates Eastwood wearing his hat backwards and suppresses coughs; and Jack, staying mostly awake for this retirement home movie that borders on a “lead paint flick” designation, brings the low energy by the bushel. Also of interest, pod fav Tracey Walter appears “right chair” in the movie and “black pill” is the word of the day.  Find out what these four have to say now that the dust has settled and chickens come home to roost and learn why this Depression Era coming-of-age and one final hurrah adult-teen road trip movie with musical act interludes might be one of the least watched of Clint Eastwood's films.   CONTENT WARNING: The hosts say the titular “h word” a lot. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

On this edition of Parallax Views, Terrifier 2 & Terrifier 3's star final girl, Lauren LaVera, has a new fright flick, The Fetus, coming out on March 7th that'll combine comedy and body horror! And it'll also feature horror icon Bill Moseley, know for his roles as the brutal killer Otis Driftwood in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects and the demented Choptop in Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, in a deliciously macabre role as a blind veteran with psychotic side. As you can probably surmise from the title, the movie will tackle pregnancy horror and creature feature thrills vis-à-vis a demonic baby. If you're a fan of 80s horrors like John Carpenter's The Thing or Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, you'll be glad to know that the movie relies heavily on practical creature effects. It also promises to be a timely fright flick in light of the debates the rage on in American culture over abortion. Joining us to discuss the movie is the film's director, Joe Lam. We'll talk about the experience of working with Lauren LaVera and Bill Moseley, the long process of writing the movie, the influence of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane on Joe, the film's use of practical effects and the award-winning work of Alex Rojas on the creature effects, the decision to release The Fetus unrated and increasing obsolescence of the MPAA ratings system in the age of streaming, thoughts on Sean Baker's Oscar speech in which he made a call for defending independent film and movie theaters in an age where both are under threat, balancing comedy/humor and horror, the importance of story and character development in Joe Lam's approach to horror, and much, much more!

Sorry for the long title, but there's just so much we talked about! We're thrilled to welcome David Howard Thornton back to the show. We dive into the meteoric rise of the Terrifier franchise and independent horror, exploring how he went from a cult horror character to a bona fide icon and the benefits of opting out of the MPAA process. We even share some unexpected parenting advice! We also dig into his upcoming horror short/proof-of-concept, Joker's Wild, which he describes as a story from A Death in the Family turned up to 11. David takes on his dream role as the Joker, and our conversation unpacks the many interpretations of the character over the years, what makes each unique, and the challenges and joys of putting his own spin on such an iconic figure. Plus, we talk about which iconic character Ryan thinks David should play next! If you're a fan of horror podcasts, horror movies, or comic books, this episode is packed with incredible insights and fun stories.

#frombeyond #stuartgordon #jeffreycombs #barbaracrampton #brianyuzna #cultmovies #cultclassic #cultmoviereview #bodyhorror In 1986, Stuart Gordon, Brian Yuzna, Jeffrey Combs, and Barbara Crampton all reunited for their follow-up to their unexpected hit Re-Animator. While Yuzna was keen to do a direct sequel to Re-Animator (which he would later direct himself), Gordon and the rest of the team wanted to do an original story, piggy-backing off what they had previously learned and delivering something fresh and new. Unfortunately, despite a sizeable investment from producer Charles Band, the film failed to recoup it's $4.5M budget, largely due to the fact that in addition to tepid market, the film failed to receive an R rating from the MPAA, who insisted on labeling it NC-17 and thus drastically lowering its distribution potential. Thankfully, the film became notorious on the VHS Video Nasties circuit, and later in 2013, the film received it's much needed restoration, restoring it to it's full run-time by adding every available scene that had been cut (sadly, there are still some sequences that were lost to the annals of time). Join Jason Peters and Ryan Seybold as they analyze what makes this movie such a fun, slimy, gory classic of mid-80's body horror filmmaking, right here on Esoterica Cinema.

La lettre "X" est devenue le symbole universellement associé au contenu pornographique pour des raisons historiques, culturelles et commerciales, qui remontent à l'époque où la classification des films est devenue une norme. Voici un aperçu des facteurs principaux qui ont contribué à cette association. 1. Origines dans la classification des films Aux États-Unis, la Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) a introduit un système de classification pour les films en 1968 afin de réguler le contenu destiné au public. Ce système utilisait plusieurs lettres pour catégoriser les films en fonction de leur contenu. Dans ce cadre, la lettre "X" a été choisie pour désigner les films réservés aux adultes, et qui contenaient des scènes de nudité, de sexualité explicite ou de violence extrême. Contrairement aux autres classifications, la mention "X" n'a jamais été officiellement enregistrée ou protégée par la MPAA, ce qui signifiait qu'elle pouvait être utilisée par n'importe qui, sans autorisation. 2. Utilisation commerciale et marketing L'absence de réglementation sur le label "X" a incité l'industrie pornographique à en faire un usage intensif pour commercialiser ses productions. Les producteurs de films pour adultes ont commencé à utiliser cette classification pour signaler que leur contenu était destiné à un public adulte. Pour attirer davantage l'attention, certains d'entre eux ont même utilisé des classifications comme "XX" ou "XXX", insinuant que le contenu était encore plus explicite ou provocant. Cette progression a consolidé l'association de la lettre X avec la pornographie, au point où "XXX" est devenu synonyme de pornographie hardcore dans la culture populaire. 3. Symbole de transgression et de tabou En tant que lettre, le "X" a une connotation visuelle et symbolique de transgression. C'est une lettre utilisée pour indiquer le danger, l'inconnu, ou quelque chose d'interdit. En mathématiques, par exemple, le "X" représente une valeur inconnue, et dans le langage courant, un "X" peut marquer quelque chose qui est interdit ou censuré. Ainsi, son usage pour désigner le contenu pornographique fait allusion à quelque chose de tabou et d'interdit, ce qui renforce l'attrait pour un public en quête de contenus réservés aux adultes.

In this Halloween "spooky season" episode of Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael, we delve into the unsettling world of true crime cinema with Chuck Parello, a filmmaker renowned for his work on notorious serial killer films. Parello began as the publicist for John McNaughton's groundbreaking and controversial Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which faced a grueling battle with the MPAA that refused to grant it an R-rating despite extensive cuts. J.G. and Chuck discuss the haunting power of Henry, the terrifyingly quiet portrayal of the titular character by Michael Rooker, and how the film isn't a straightforward biopic of infamous killers Henry Lee Lucas, who came to be known as "The Confessions Killer" for fabricating many of his claims in exchange for special privileges, or Otis Toole but rather a unique examination of monstrous characters. Chuck then details his own sequel, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Part II, where Henry is drawn into the world of arsonists, shedding light on the creative origins of that choice. The conversation continues with Chuck's film Ed Gein, which diverges from fictionalized films inspired by the Butcher of Plainfield—such as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs—and instead stays grounded in the actual life and psyche of Ed Gein. Featuring Steve Railsback, known for his unnerving performance as Charles Manson in the 1970s TV miniseries Helter Skelter, Railsback's portrayal of Gein is both unsettling and oddly tragic, showcasing a different side of the infamous killer. Chuck and J.G. also discuss The Hillside Strangler, a disturbing portrayal of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono's deadly partnership, in which C. Thomas Howell and Nicholas Turturro take on chilling roles as the murderous cousins whose combined force drove them to escalate their crimes in late 1970s Los Angeles. Further, Chuck shares insights on his upcoming project on the Sunset Strip Killers/The Sunset Slayers (Doug Clark and Carol Bundy) and how he was originally was slated to direct the 2002 Ted Bundy biopic before Oingo Boingo's Matthew Bright ended up with the job. They tackle ethical questions surrounding the portrayal of real-life killers, the potential for exploitation, and the cultural obsession with true crime, shedding light on the complex responsibilities of filmmakers in this genre. This episode is a must-listen for fans of horror, crime thrillers, and serial killer cinema, as it examines the artistry and ethics of bringing these haunting real-life tales to the screen.

We're shaking our heads awake and ready to do mind battle as we talk about Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. You'll hear what we think of one particularly standout performance in this sequel, a chat about the effect the MPAA had on the movie and how it's decisions affect the kills that fans love and what we think of the prolonged use of a maskless Jason.

Sean Clark joins us in the Crypt to talk about his journey through the horror industry, from Horror's Hallowed Grounds and the Halloween franchise, to shaping the modern horror convention scene. We explore the evolution of horror conventions, highlighting the thrill and struggle of getting celebrities on board, building “25 Years of Terror,” and Sean's insider experience with the “horror elite.” We talk horror's golden ages of the '30s, '70s, and '80s, discussing the MPAA's role in shaping the genre, and the way conventions have evolved since the '90s, for better or worse. Sean opens up about his early days, his hesitations about joining YouTube, and the struggles and successes he faced on projects like Halloween 2 and Halloween 3. We also dig into recent horror headlines, debating reboots and sequels, Halloween, Exorcist: Believer, Alien: Romulus, and The Crow, along with original titles like Thanksgiving, LongLegs, Maxxxine, and much more. We share thoughts on today's horror “elite”, the tension between fans and executives, and horror's thematic shift to psychological scares with films like Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau Is Afraid. Beyond film, we discuss the rise of horror influencers and publications, “a*s-kissing" culture, and Sean's advice for up-and-coming creatives, stories from the convention circuit, and immortalizing yourself through creative work. —

Prior to 1982's FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, few films were brazen enough to depict an honest slice of teenage high school life. But that all changed with the keenly observant & smart pairing of writer Cameron Crowe & director Amy Heckerling.

Let's head back to school & rediscover the film that was edgy for its time… and now feels more progressive 40 years later! ///***Discussions include*** Brief recap of Cameron Crowe's early career & what led to his novel, Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story, becoming a film; finding director Amy Heckerling, her relationship with Crowe & importance of a female voice; intense studio concerns, adapting the book, changes, creating a narrative flow, emotional complexity & tonality; soundtrack, the film's ending, memorable moments, in-depth character & cast discussion; struggle with the MPAA, editing, test screening, release/reception, plus the top movies of 1982.

You know the scene. A grisly human sacrifice. A terrified archaeologist looking on in horror from the shadows. A poor religious fanatic has his still-beating heart torn from his chest by a high priest before bursting into flames. While this seems like the kind of scene that would have been perfectly at home in a John Carpenter movie in the 1980s, instead it comes from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the second entry in the franchise (albeit a prequel to 1980's Raiders of the Lost Ark), and one which takes a decidedly darker tone than the relatively family-friendly adventure of the previous film. That moment is alleged to have given birth to the PG-13 movie rating, for one thing. But it also kickstarted a small but specific subset of pop culture fascination: the concept that someone's heart could be manually removed from their chest with no tools, using only the skills (sometimes mystical in nature) of an adversary. Fans of the Mortal Kombat franchise take note: long before Kano was rippin' hearts out, Mola Ram was doing it…and with better fashion sense, to boot!And while it SEEMS like the realm of pure (if icky) fantasy, it's still worth breaking down whether any element of this gruesome little party trick has basis in scientific reality. And if that doesn't quicken your pulse (sorry), we've got behind the scenes tidbits on what made it all look so good, how this singular moment helped force the MPAA to institute PG-13, and more!Now, time for a little heart-to-heart with Tamara and Hakeem…SUGGESTED VIEWINGWhile Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is indeed the second Indiana Jones movie, it's actually a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark. That being said, we always endorse watching big franchises in release order rather than timeline order, because prequels tend to get a little self-referential. Watch Raiders first, then Temple of Doom, then the third film (which takes place after Raiders), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. These are the only Indiana Jones movies!OK, not really. There are also fourth and fifth films, the generally maligned Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the somewhat better Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (the only film in the franchise not directed by Stephen Spielberg). Your mileage may vary, but if nothing else, Raiders of the Lost Ark is generally considered one of the greatest action/adventure movies of all time!And for those of you who can sanction Jim Carrey's buffoonery (sorry, a little Tommy Lee Jones humor there), Hakeem recommends an alternate take on the heart-ripping concept, as seen in Dumb and Dumber.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Here are a few recommendations! Ancient Heart Extraction Rituals“You have to appease those gods, so what better way than with human sacrifice! Don't have a volcano handy? Take out their heart.”(Hakeem references a scientific paper about heart extraction in Mesoamerica. We generally try not to link to things that aren't readily and easily available to read, but in this case, the above abstract and this excerpt are the best we could do. But it's so cool, we couldn't pass it up.)Consciousness and Organ Function While Hakeem throws cold water (or hot flames) on the idea that the heart itself can continue beating with no additional equipment after separation from the body, he briefly references the extremely grisly speculation that guillotine victims remained conscious after their heads were separated from their bodies. There's further study on that, but we try not to think about it.See also: Neuromuscular JunctionThuggees“While the Thuggee cult that they drew from was a real thing, they were robbers, they did murder folks, and they did all of this to serve Kali and did it in the name of this particular god, they did not take part in human sacrifice.”The PG-13 Rating“At the time this movie came out, it was rated PG…and there were a lot of parents who were taking their kids to see this…and then there's this heart being ripped out of a chest, which terrified kids!”See also: The MPAA website that Tamara references which confirms the Temple of Doom connection can be found here.We also cannot recommend highly enough J.W.

It's been 50 years since the release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, hailed as one of the most important and impactful horror films ever made. The sequels? Not so much.While Tobe Hooper would direct another sequel, the true sequelification of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre wouldn't happen until the third entry. After the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise started to slow down, New Line Cinemas decided to buy the rights to Leatherface and his cannibalistic clan to jumpstart a new tentpole franchise.The result was Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, which was arguably masssacred by the MPAA and substantially tamed down for theatrical release. What was left was a film that disappointed fans and disinterested the moviegoing public. Years later, after an endless horde of requels and reboots to the iconic classic, does this forgotten third entry have any meat on its bones? Let's find out as we put the teeth in terror (whatever that means).

Jack Valenti, former special assistant to President Lyndon B. Johnson and former President of the Motion Picture Association of America, penned a memoir, but did not live to be able to talk about it when it was published. Therefore, Michael welcomed his daughter, Courtney Valenti, for a wonderful conversation on "This Time, This Place: My Life in War, the White House, and Hollywood." Mr. Valenti passed away in April 2007. Original air date 20 June 2007. The book was published on 15 May 2007.

iHeart's resident Mogwais accidentally got splattered with water, and they've emerged from their cocoons all sticky and vicious -- and ready to talk about 1984's 'Gremlins.' They'll dive into the absolute murderer's row of 80s luminaries involved — Chris Columbus! Steven Spielberg! Joe Dante! — and the real stars of the film: the puppets! — and the man who nearly killed himself bringing them to life, SFX icon Chris Walas. Along the way they'll trace the aviation-related source of the word "gremlin," how this film forced Spielberg and the MPAA to invent the PG-13 rating, and touch briefly — and ecstatically — on the insane blank-check sequel Dante got to do with a different SFX god — Rick friggin' Baker — 'Gremlins 2: The New Batch!'

In this episode we both bring perfectly complimentary beers to the episode, Dustin finally picks a movie draft team name, and we get into a topic that is both very popular and very taboo: public nakedness! There have been a lot of bad examples of pointless nudity in film, but what are some of the best uses of it? We discuss both in depth, as well as a fairly comprehensive history of naked people in moving pictures and also art throughout human existence. It's crazy that our MPAA rating system episode was two years ago, but this is a great follow-on to that one. But before that, Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Argylle and Past Lives. Jake has finally seen Black Adam, Aquaman 2, They Cloned Tyrone, and May December. Special thank you to Alan Hlavacek and Travis Mason from Attack on Venus for the sick theme music!

PUBLIC VERSION. Merry Christmas and happy belated Thanksgiving! Recorded LIVE during YORKIETHON 8 on December 10, 2023, filmmaker Eli Roth (CABIN FEVER, HOSTEL, THE GREEN INFERNO, THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his craft and career journey. From the long gestating impetus for THANKSGIVING which started way back in his childhood… to the constant fear that all filmmakers share over someone else beating you to an idea… to the difficulties of making violent horror films while navigating the MPAA… to which gory gags Eli had to scale back on with his holiday slasher… to how the demise of physical media and the rise of streaming has drastically changed the business model of film financing… to the fun of creating a great misdirect and keeping your audience guessing on a killer's identity… Eli candidly discusses how he creates his unique brand of fun and crowd pleasing horror.   Adam and Joe recap the enormous success that was YORKIETHON 8, Adam has a heart to heart about CABIN FEVER 2 with Eli that was 20 years in the making, the boys' moms stop by to humiliate them, and Mrs. Green drops a major truth bomb about Adam's personal life in this special 2.5 hour “Santa-size” holiday episode!

In the forty-seventh episode of Season 9 (Keep It Musical!) Kyle is joined by screenwriter Gio Maldonado and fellow podcaster Sean Ellis to discuss the irreverent cultural commentary on angry parents, societal irresponsibility, and the absurdity of systemic MPAA censorship in Trey Parker and Matt Stone's feature length addition to their vulgar television sensation in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (1999).

Street Fighter is one of those movies that does feel lacking, incomplete, and cut to shreds, and then you realise it is indeed all of those things because of the various issues on set. Capcom's constant demands, Raúl Julia's illness and recovery from surgery, Jean-Claude Van Damme's regular absences from set, and a constantly changing filming schedule, not to mention the MPAA requesting constant cuts to give it the all important PG-13 rating. Under different circumstances, Street Fighter could actually have ended up so different.It's a movie based on a video game, that bucked the trend of video game movies not making any money, but that did not buck the trend of video game movies not being all that great, that had nothing to do with the actual video game, and everything to do with selling toys, appeasing Capcom and enabling Jean-Claude Van Damme's bad behaviour...Game Over!I would love to hear your thoughts on Street Fighter (1994) !CONTACT....

Happy Halloween 2023! Here's an extra special treat in your pillowcase: an It's Always Halloween/Farthouse Crossover Episode! Farthouse is a monthly film podcast hosted by Cinephile Cuties (and Lanterns!), Casey O'Brien and Patrick Mallon. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did. And today the three of us discuss The Shining, spooky bathrooms, and DIY Filmmaking! We also read your EEEEKmails about artsy horror, film catchphrases, nude scenes in class, and bathroom ghosts and banshees! Casey and I are making a feature film together, 14 Stories in a Bathoom! Read more and/or contribute to our fundraising campaign here! Please note that this episode, much like The Shining, does contain adult language and situations and would probably be slapped with an R-rating if the MPAA had their say!

This 80s Flick sequel is often remembered as a complete misfire among the wide range of slasher classics. Screenwriter and director Danny Steinmann, whose limited filmography was mainly exploitation films, ventured beyond the well-trodden path of its predecessors, by introducing a narrative twist that left fans both confused and disappointed. But when Friday the 13th falls in the month of October, we had to cover the next one in the series. So get ready to be reacquainted with hockey masks, machetes, and jump-scares as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast discuss “Friday the 13th: A New Beginning” from (1985) on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast. Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: Friday the 13th producer Frank Mancuso Jr. didn't get on with the film's director Danny Steinmann. Mancuso called Steinmann a pervert and called the film a softcore porn sex movie rather than a slasher horror film. Rebecca Wood (Lana) had a lot of fun filming her death scene to the point where she walked down the street with the axe glued to her head acting like a zombie causing people passing by to freak out not knowing if a movie was being filmed up ahead. Rebecca stated that she had a lot of laughs doing it. One month prior to the film's release in the United States, the MPAA demanded that sixteen scenes featuring sex or graphic violence be edited in order to merit an "R" rating instead of an "X". The film ultimately required nine trips to the MPAA before finally being granted an "R" rating.

Adam Green is the creator and writer of the Hatchet franchise, and he shares some great stories about Hollywood, and what it took to get Hatchet made! He details his battle against the MPAA over Hatchet's NC-17 rating, and how that loss completely changed his movie and his life. He reveals what inspired the Victor Crowley character and look, how he comes up with the crazy, gruesome kills for each sequel, and what it took to get horror genre greats like Kane Hodder, Robert Englund, and Tony Todd involved in Hatchet. He breaks down the practicality behind some of his grossest kills like the double chainsaw murder and Tony Todd literally being ripped right out of his skin. And he explains what really happened with Eli Roth and Cabin Fever 2. Thank you for supporting our sponsors!Fan Duel: Visit https://FanDuel.com/JERICHO and start earning Bonus Bets with America's #1 SportsbookHello Fresh: Go to https://HelloFresh.com/50JERICHO and use code 50JERICHO to get 50% off plus 15% off your next two months.Factor Meals: Go to https://FactorMeals.com/TIJ50 and use promo code TIJ50 to get 50% off.Bosch Tools: Learn more at https://www.boschtools.com/us/en/Progressive: Quote today at https://progressive.comeBay Motors: Get the right parts, the right fit, and the right prices. https://ebaymotors.comSlingTV: Check out https://www.sling.com/ for special offers  STAY CONNECTED:TikTok: @ChrisJerichoInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy Twitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJerichoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzyWebsite: https://www.webisjericho.com/

PUBLIC VERSION. Legendary writer David J. Schow (THE CROW, LEATHERFACE: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III, CRITTERS 3 & 4, THE HILLS RUN RED, and SO MUCH more) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen for an incredibly candid conversation about his prolific career. From writing a newspaper article about people overdoing their tans leading to David writing articles for various Men's magazines… to his prolific arsenal of incredible one-of-a-kind short stories that created "Splatterpunk" and captured the attention of a young wunderkind at New Line Cinema named Mike Deluca… to being invited in to pitch story ideas for the 1989 TV series FREDDY'S NIGHTMARES where he landed a gig writing what would become the Season 1 finale (“Safe Sex”)… to what his exact involvement actually was with NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: THE DREAM CHILD… to why violence and carnage are not enough to make up a good horror story… to one of the craziest horror convention cosplays you'll ever hear about (it even has a “happily ever after” aspect)… to his painful experience writing for the reboot of THE OUTER LIMITS (the original series is his favorite show of all time)… to the trials and tribulations of being a screenwriter and having to publicly wear any creative changes that were made to your script during the production process without your input or knowledge… to the true story of how the MPAA screwed over the release of LEATHERFACE: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III… to why David has the odd credit of “teleplay by” on Dave Parker's THE HILLS RUN RED (2009) and why the guys believe that the “Babyface” character could have been ranked among the great slasher icons if the film had received the multiple sequels it deserved… to David's extremely personal stories from the making of THE CROW and his honest reflections on the powerful and everlasting legacy of the universally beloved film - including the reason why he's only ever watched it twice… Schow is living proof that hard work, tenacity, and originality can indeed pay off and shine through the dark times. After all, “it can't rain all the time.”   Dr Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a returning patient who's just completed her very first short film and looking for some advice as she starts submitting it to festivals, David reveals what became of the De Laurentiis mechanical “King Kong” created for the 1976 remake, and Adam shares the embarrassing story of the first time he tried smoking weed in this brutally honest, extended length, special episode that's so damn good you're going to want to listen to it twice!   Live in Los Angeles? Come see Joe's Lynch's 2017 hit MAYHEM on the big screen at the Landmark Nuart Theater in West Los Angeles on September 1st!

Sharon Stone and Joe Eszterhas's post-Basic Instinct reunion film was one of the most troubled productions of the 90s. A post-Hitchcock tale of sexual surveillance given a technological update for the 90s, after a long battle with the MPAA the sanitized, R-rated version of Sliver was rejected by critics and audiences, but the movie and the juicy gossip leaked from its production (which included a love pentagon involving both actress and screenwriter) only enhanced Sharon Stone's aura as an old-school Hollywood star for a decade that didn't know what to do with her.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! The GOP was of course messy while we were off air, and unlike Marie Condo, we do not love mess. Happy(?) Pride. On top of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation sweeping the nation, brands are really fucking up just in time for pride month. Tbh, Bud Light deserves their current sales losses on the basis of their beer sucking ass, but they've managed to piss off a large cross-section of the country with their reaction to backlash over their ad featuring a trans woman. Are people actually outraged by things like this, or are they looking for new ways to be relevant? Asking for Kid Rock's music career. Target is also fucking up - out of concern for their employees, they've pulled and diminished elements of their Pride displays in stores. Never thought we'd see the day where Bud Light and Target were in the dog house for caving to queerphobia, but here we are! RIP disposable income: as part of debt ceiling negotiations, federal student loan repayments will officially be restarting this fall. We poll the #Millennial Facebook group to see how listeners are feeling about resuming student loan payments and hear what others are doing to prepare. Everyone agrees: interest is the real killer here. If interest were taken out of the equation, we'd all have a much easier time repaying our principal balances. Critics and audiences seem to be split over HBO's newest buzz series, 'The Idol.' At what point does violence and nudity become gratuitous and unwatchable for us? Is there ever a place for it? Movie ratings are a joke, and the MPAA's ratings system is not applied consistently. This week, we're recommending 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' (Laura), 'Variety Actors on Actors: Katherine Heigl, Ellen Pompeo (Pam), and Spindrift Spiked (Andrew). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Family vloggers - are they going too far? Nikki Phillippi and her husband canceled plans to adopt from Thailand after learning they would be legally barred from showing or talking about their child for one year. Is there a lesson to be learned from the early 2000's slew of family reality TV shows? Children who grew up in these situations are now speaking out and alleging emotional, financial, and sometimes physical abuse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

While the MPAA's confusing and hypocritical ratings decisions were leaving filmmakers flummoxed in the early 90s, cable TV was opening up new possibilities for erotic content. Today we will offer a brief history of sex on TV, and then focus on Red Shoe Diaries, the cheesy-but-charming late night softcore soap that was the brainchild of 9 ½ Weeks writers/producers Zalman King and Patricia Knop.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
