Podcasts about Stan Winston

Send us Fan Mail"I'll be back." It's the phrase that launched a billion-dollar franchise, turned a former bodybuilder into an absolute icon, and gave everyone a permanent fear of red A.I.This week on ‘Entertain This!', Mitch and Tom are hopping into a stolen '77 Chevy and tracking down James Cameron's 1984 sci-fi masterpiece, ‘The Terminator'.Join the guys as they break down the gritty, low-budget masterpiece that perfectly blended tech-noir atmosphere with relentless, heart-pounding action. Tom unpacks the tactical terrifying realism of a cybernetic organism that literally will not stop until you are dead, while Mitch tries to figure out the logistics of 1980s time travel physics (and why Kyle Reese decided to steal hobo pants and never upgrade).From Brad Fiedel's iconic, metallic heartbeat score to Stan Winston's legendary practical effects, we are diving deep into why this gritty thriller still holds up over four decades later. Was Sarah Connor the ultimate blueprint for the modern action heroine? How did Arnold manage to be utterly terrifying with only 14 lines of dialogue? And honestly, how much chain-link fence is ‘too' much chain-link fence for a final showdown?Dust off your leather jacket, leave your phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range at home, and press play.Listen closely... because if you miss this episode, the future is history.Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, I chat with creature effects artist, puppeteer and digital pioneer Craig Caton-Largent about a career that arguably traces the entire arc of modern visual effects — from foam latex and animatronics to motion control, performance capture and full CG animation. Craig talks about growing up on a sheep and cattle ranch in Washington State, being captivated by the 1960s Batman TV show and then Planet of the Apes, and teaching himself prosthetics from Dick Smith's Monster Makeup Handbook. After tracking down Dick Smith's address in Who's Who in America, he wrote a letter that led to a year of mentorship over cassette tapes and ultimately introductions to Rick Baker, Stan Winston and Tom Burman. We get into his first job on Charles Band's Metal Storm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn, working on the Olympic alien for the 1984 closing ceremonies, sculpting barnacles on Cocoon, building Spock's seamless silicone ears on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, undulating menacingly under shaving cream on Larry Cohen's The Stuff, and puppeteering Slimer's mouth on the original Ghostbusters. A big part of the conversation focuses on Jurassic Park, including the design evolution of the T-Rex, the helicopter convention moment that led to the McFadden motion base, the logistics of moving the full-size animatronic across the San Fernando Valley at night, and Craig's work as the Raptor puppeteer, including the now-legendary "head tilt" at the kitchen window that earned an on-set "It's like Alien, I love it" from Spielberg. We also talk about Craig's twenty-year stint as the caretaker, or "doctor", to the original ET puppet, including the time the LAPD turned up at his garage door thinking he was running a crack lab while he was actually repainting ET. Plus the story of how Stan Winston handing him a couple of SGI machines led, almost overnight, to him becoming one of the eight co-founders of Digital Domain alongside James Cameron and Scott Ross. Later in the conversation we move into Craig's animation career as a final layout artist and character TD at DreamWorks and Disney, with credits on Tangled, Rise of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Turbo, and stories from working with Guillermo del Toro at DreamWorks. We finish on Craig's current role as Creative Director of the 3D Animation and Visual Effects department at the New York Film Academy in Burbank.

“The idea that you're gonna put Kilmer and Brando in the same movie and you expect this to go well...” - SteveThis week on WHM, Remake-ril boards a plane to fly to a mysterious destination in the South Pacific as the guys chat about one of the most notorious Hollywood disasters of the 1990s, John Frankenheimer's The Island of Dr. Moreau! Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to get Brando involved in this? Does our society really want monkey butlers? What was Kilmer smoking while filming this—no seriously, any strain info? How was this movie only PG-13 with all these horrific mon-stars? Why was mainstream pop culture kinda cool with a little light beastiality in the 1990s?

Alec Gillis stops by to have a heartfelt conversation about his fatherhood journey. He and I have an honest conversation about the influence his dad had on him to make his own choice on how to be a dad. He shares the life lessons he learned from his four daughters. After that we blend family and his career by talking about working with his daughter, Camille. We go into his fantastic career in the film industry and how his craft has evolved over the years. Lastly, we finish the interview with the Fatherhood Quick Five.  About Alec Gillis Alec Gillis grew up in Orange County, California within sight of the Disneyland fireworks show. As a kid he roamed the mean streets of Main Street Disneyland, sometimes summering on Tom Sawyer's Island. It was here he gained a lifelong appreciation of animatronics, but it was in the local movie theaters that he fell in love with genre films. At age 20 Gillis began working for Roger Corman on a film called Battle Beyond The Stars. This was along with James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd. It wasn't long before Alec dropped out of UCLA Film School in favor of the education Corman offered. Gillis was recommended by James Cameron to Stan Winston, where Gillis worked on effects for classic films such as Aliens and Predator. In 1988 he co-founded Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) with Tom Woodruff, Jr. Tremors was the company's first feature, and the film's giant subterranean worms gained notoriety for Gillis. As of 2022, Gillis is now a solo Creature FX Designer, founding his new company, Studio Gillis. His mission is to continue the tradition of creating high quality practical characters and to promote the art of Practical FX. To that end, his production company, Pro Machina, produces modest budget genre films as well as creating miniature effects for films such as Alien: Romulus. Make sure you follow Alec on Instagram at @alec_gillis. Plus go to studiogillis.com to learn more about Alec and his work.

It looks like a low-budget Predator ripoff. It sounds like a low-budget Predator ripoff. But 'Without Warning' came out a full seven years before 'Predator', and it's got Jack Palance and Martin Landau in the cast! Two Academy Award winners dealing with an alien big-game hunter played by Kevin Peter Hall years before his biggest role (and wearing a Rick Baker mask instead of a Stan Winston one) make this an experience you just have to hear about. And lucky you, HPH is ready to talk!

Episode 245 is focused on two sequels from the early 90's. We start off with 1993's "Pumpkinhead 2" where they bring back the monster from Stan Winston's original movie for a whole new story of small-town revenge. It's not as good as the original, but it has enough cheesy fun torecommend it. We follow that with "Gate 2" from 1990, which is a much more successful follow-up. Picking up where the first film left off, the story follows a young wannabe warlock who gets involved in all sorts of black magic. It's a great example of enthusiastic low-budget filmmaking, and we totally recommend it. You can email us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.

Editor - Evan Schiff ACE Frankenstein editor Evan Schiff ACE first began his journey as an assistant editor on Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth (2006). Over the next, nearly two decades, Evan would establish himself as an action movie editor to be reckoned with.  He would flex his cutting chops on films like John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) and Bob Odenkirk's action debut, Nobody (2021).  Evan would also drop by the MCU to cut The Marvels (2023).  But to hear Evan tell it, it was hardly his skills as an action editor that would prompt Del Toro to hire his former assistant editor to cut Frankenstein. Produced, written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, and based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz. The film follows the life of egotistical scientist Victor Frankenstein whose experiment in creating new life results in dangerous consequences when his monstrous creation comes to life. EVAN SCHIFF ACE (In Evan's own words...) Originally from Syracuse, NY, I started my career in the film industry at the age of 16, between my junior and senior years of high school, with an internship at Stan Winston Studio (now Legacy EFX). After graduating from high school and being accepted into USC's film production program, SWS hired me back to do tech support as their Systems Administrator and eventually their in-house VFX Editor. I worked there part-time for all four years of college and full-time for one year after. While at USC, I got bit by the editing bug. I found that, even more than creature or visual effects, I loved sitting in the editing bay for hours on end putting my student films together. So a year after graduation, and five years after starting my job at Stan Winston's, I started to pursue editing full-time. It was slow at first, but eventually I got my first few jobs as an assistant editor, and things took off from there.

New Month!!! We are highlighting the man himself...Stan Winston and of his entire catalog...we are kicking it off with A Gnome Named Gnorm! Pete joins us as we try to rescue all of the lumins and make all of the toes curl! 

The story so far: After a year and a half underground, we've made it to the best time of the year! Sadly, we've hit the end of Sellout October 2025! During October, we watch mainstream horror movies that people have heard of before. And after trick-or-mole-treating around Mole City, we were gifted a film as a little treat, and it turned out to be The Monster Squad from 1987! It's a first time watch for one of us (can you guess who?!), and we bask in the glory of Stan Winston's amazing costumes, discuss the constant necessity of virgins in horror, talk way too much about foreskin, and just shower this movie with love! As Sellout October comes to an end, we hope you all have the spookiest of Halloweens!!!Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

In this Scene Missing panel, we dive deep into the 1972 made-for-TV movie Gargoyles — a cult classic that helped define the early wave of '70s creature features. Joining the discussion are Gabriel Hardman, Jeff Parker, Ian Brill, and Allison Baker, each bringing their sharp insight into the film's production, themes, and its influence on modern genre storytelling.The panel explores the film's eerie desert setting and its surprising critical success, including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Makeup that launched the career of Stan Winston, who went on to create the iconic creatures of Aliens and Predator. We spotlight the performances of Cornel Wilde as anthropologist Mercer Boley, Jennifer Salt (Sisters, Soap) as his daughter Diana, and Bernie Casey as the noble Gargoyle leader — one of television's earliest sympathetic monster roles. We also examine the creative team behind the movie: director Bill L. Norton, later known for Cisco Pike and Law & Order, and writer-producers Steve and Elinor Karpf, who blended mythology, horror, and social reflection into an unexpectedly thoughtful TV thriller.

Roger and Evil fire up the Shemp-O-Tron and summon one of horror's meanest rural revenge demons, Pumpkinhead! They're kicking off a whole franchise journey, tackling one new film every two weeks. But much like the witch's cabin in the woods, the road gets bumpier and bumpier. The boys pay respect to the dirt-soaked magic of Stan Winston's original masterpiece before trudging through the sequels that… let's just say, never quite claw their way back up to the same gnarly glory. Grab your pitchfork, light a jack-o'-lantern, and join the guys as they find out what happens when you wish revenge into existence (spoiler: it's never good).

Laci and Matt revisit Interview With The Vampire (1994), a movie the podcast covered back in 2018, in the Old Testament days. Much more care and attention is given this time, because there's so much to love… and so much to be confused by. Has a movie ever been dragged down so much by its whiny-baby lead character as this movie is by Louis (Brad Pitt)? Rather than spending eternity partying with his good buddy Lestat (Tom Cruise), he just putters around and around, moaning and complaining like some unholy combination of Charlie Brown and Eeyore. And rest assured, he will tell you, at length, about how conflicted he feels about the whole “vampire” thing. So get ready. Other than that, the movie's a blast. Tom Cruise is wonderful, Kirsten Dunst gives an all-time great kid performance, and the Stan Winston makeup can't be beat.

An early 80's venture into the realm of 3-D, this movie didn't just give us early Stan Winston effects, but an early performance by now Academy Award nominee Demi Moore. To the wasteland we go, to fight a gang of raiders, eat soup at the local establishment, and get a room at the Hilton, as we explore the 3-D world of PARASITE!

Nils hälsar på för att prata om några skräckfilmer som snurrar på temat krig. I ordinarie delen av avsnittet pratar vi om Rovdjuret och Overlord från 1987 respektive 2018. Nils reagerar på den relativt låga kameran i Rovdjuret och låter sig imponeras av hur otroligt smakfullt vi som publik presenteras för antagonisten och hur det genom hela filmen bjuds på något nytt. Tomas noterar att filmen är enormt maskulin men lyckas inte se några problem med det och gläds åt eftertexterna där skådespelarna ler in i kameran. Gulligt! Det blir också en del prat om Vietnam-estetik, illröda lik, apor i dräkt, Jean Claude van Damme, Stan Winston, specialeffekter, svett och det faktum att nazi-ockultism kan kännas lite lite sexigt. Patrons åtnjuter i vanlig ordning dubbel speltid och denna gång blir det betydligt mer psykologiskt utmanande i och med en double feature om krigets dystra efterspel. Mycket nöje!  

In a World where survival depends on more than firepower… one elite team finds themselves hunted by something beyond their understanding.In this episode, Bry the Movie Guy takes a closer look at Predator (1987), the landmark sci-fi action film that redefined what an action movie could be. We'll explore how director John McTiernan blended suspense, horror, and military action to create a tense, atmospheric experience that still holds up nearly four decades later.From Arnold Schwarzenegger's commanding lead performance to Stan Winston's iconic creature design, Predator remains a milestone in genre filmmaking. We'll also dive into the film's production history, including casting changes, behind-the-scenes challenges, and how a last-minute redesign of the Predator itself helped save the movie.Plus, we'll explore some “what if” scenarios that might've taken the film in a very different direction. So, strap in, because if it bleeds… we can pod about it.

Send us a textWe remember loving this Creature Feature from 1999 with an all-star cast and perfectly balanced CGI & Practical Effects. But it has been a decade or more. Starring Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, and Oliver Platt with effects by the great Stan Winston we have high hopes that this 90s B-Movie still gets an A for Awesome. We're also wondering if the Betty White scenes are still freaking hilarious? Here's hoping.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

On Episode 124 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Steve, Neil and Skye return to the films of James Cameron and his directorial debut (not counting Piranha 2), starring possibly the most prominent megastar of their childhood, Arnold Schwarzenegger. That film is Cameron's gritty, action-science-fiction smash hit, The Terminator, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this month. The product of a fever dream Cameron had whilst in Rome during the Piranha 2 debacle, The Terminator represents one of the most cost effective filmmaking endeavours of the 1980s, whereby a potentially pulpy science fiction yarn was bolstered by some truly defining star turns, none more so than the titular character himself. Schwarzenegger's portrayal of a killer cyborg from the future would define his career like no other role. Coupled with precise filmmaking from a young, driven, perfectionist director, some stunning effects work from artists such as Stan Winston, a stunning, synth-filled, percussive and atmospheric score from composer Brad Fiedel, and some gorgeous cinematography and tight editing, these ingredients would come together to create a film that the Film ‘89 team regard as one of the most important films of their upbringing, one that holds up today as a true masterpiece of genre filmmaking. 

On this episode of ‘CW Movie Night' Chris is joined by The AuxFather to discuss ‘Pumpkinhead' (1988), Directed by the legendary Stan Winston!
