Courtney GainsTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as l get to know actor & musician Courtney Gains in this episode, we chat about his growing up in some rough parts of Los Angeles, and why he decided to become an actor. We also talk about why he eventually moved to Savanah and embedded himself into the local music scene there. Naturally, l ask him about several of his films, including Back to the Future, Can't Buy Me Love, Colors, The Burbs, Queen Bees, and most notably, Children of the Corn. Courtney shares fun anecdotes and the reason for his longevity in show business. Then we discuss his music. Courtney has been a musician for just about as long as he has been an actor. He has released several albums and is part of a new project that came out December 6th. Marshes to Mountains is a compilation album with more than 100 songs. 100% of the proceeds from this album got to support those affected by the recent hurricane that impacted areas from Savanah to Asheville. The album can be found on Bandcamp or Fakefangs.com. Speaking of music, Courtney tells wonderful stories about working with Matt Sorum & Slash on one of Courtney's songs, plus he lets me play one! Finally, we talk about the new projects that he has coming out, including Cowboy Christmas, The Barn 3, and Infernal. Follow Courtney on social media, and be sure to check out his music everywhere you listen.
In the March of Madness month continues as, this week, we take a look at 1989's The Burbs. It tells the story of Ray (Tom Hanks) who just wants to spend his week off from work just hanging around the house, doing nothing. However, after one of his neighbors goes missing, the other neighbors on the street begin to suspect the Klopeks, a strange family who had just recently moved next door to Ray. As suspicion turns to paranoia, everyone gets hysterical about what weird goings-on could be going on in the strange house next door. Egged on by his friends, Ray's grip on his own sanity becomes more and more strained as the entire neighborhood plots to investigate what's really going on over at the Klopek's house. What did we think? Listen in and find out!
Part Two of our conversation with actor and musician Courtney Gains focuses on several of his memorable film roles. Courtney shares incredible stories about working for Dennis Hopper on Colors, auditioning for Memphis Belle, the on-set mentorship he received from Bruce Dern on The Burbs, his Children of the Corn legacy, and the wild character he portrays in Benny Bliss and the Disciples of Greatness!Courtney Gains new EP Safe Haven is now available at Fake Fangs RecordsFind out where Courtney is playing on the Courtney Gains Group Facebook PageFor plenty of exclusive episodes and content, check out A Film By... on Patreon! with a FREE 7-day trial!Check out www.afilmbypodcast.com/ for more information.Email us at afilmbypodcast@gmail.com with your questions, comments, and requests.Find us on X Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @afilmbypodcast.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4933588/advertisement

Joe Dante, beloved director, producer and editor, started with Roger Corman's company as in-house trailer editor, the same company where filmmakers Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Ron Howard, Jonathan Demme, John Sayles and many others got their start. Dante worked his way up to edit features, and then direct and produce his own films. He went on to make cult classics The Howling as well as widely popular movies including Gremlins, The Burbs, Innerspace, Expolorers, Matinee, Looney Tunes Back in Action and many more. He continues to produce and direct, and has also made his mark in the podcast world with Trailers from Hell.
