Written by John Landis, Richard Matheson, Melissa Mathison, George Clayton Johnson, Jerome Bixby, and Rod Serling.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back with a new podcast segment, this time exploring anthology movies, hich tend to be very heavy in the horror genre. The guys are tackling perhaps the best known anthology movie also based upon one of the most famous television series of all time, 1983's "Twilight Zone" movie. Available on Apple and Spotify Episode 422 includes: -Baby arrival soon! Also, trailer reactions for "Thunderbolts," "Mickey 17," and "Ballerina." -"Uglies" is YA junk without any personality of its own that would work in a movie. -Nate has seen the "Reagan" biopic and has some trickle down thoughts about it. -The new "Joker" sequel seems to hold disdain for its fandom and for its own existence. -Ben has seen francis Ford Coppola's "Megaopolis" and lives to sing of its absurdities. -The Anthologist - "Thw Twilight Zone: The Movie" (1983) -It's four segments, incluing a clunker opening, but not all segments are on the same level. The first halfof the movie is a snoozer, with the risiable decision to include John Landis' heavy-handed segment even after his production got its lead actor and two children killed through reckless negligence. The second half, however, with segments directed by Joe Dante and George Miller, are where things get much more entertaining. The guys also discuss the nature of anthology films, the history of "The Twilight Zone," and speculate what filmmakers today they would pair with remaking different classic "Twilight Zone" episodes.

Ed returns as we discuss the classic anthology film TWILIGHT ZONE (THE MOVIE). Which segments succeed and which segment fails so hard that people die?! Well you probably already know the answer to that one, but we think this is a fun episode with an unusually large (for us) amount of research behind it. It's one we recorded before production, so you might get the sense it's in the past. Because it is! We'll be back next week with a post-mortem on the shoot. Thank you to all the people who sent crafty supplies for the shoot. It honestly doesn't even make sense mathematically.

In this week's BONUS Hasty History episode, we will be discussing the tragic deaths of adult actor Vic Morrow and two children Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen (as well as the injuries of six others). This tragedy occurred as a result of an accident that happened in 1982 on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie. You see, on July 23rd of that year, director John Landis told the operator of a helicopter that was being used on set to hover dangerously low over the ground in order to capture a particular scene. This, amongst other violations, caused the helicopter to get caught in the pyrotechnic explosions, leading to the horrific deaths of Morrow, Le, and Chen. What's possibly worse is that, of those on set that night watching the horrendous tragedy occur, were the parents of both of the children. This awful incident would lead to Landis becoming the first ever film director to be charged with a death on the set of a feature film. For nearly a decade after the incident, a slew of civil and criminal actions against those involved would take place…which would eventually lead to a very unsatisfying and disappointing end.

What a CreepSeason 25, Episode 2John LandisJohn Landis, a well-known director and father of past Creep Max Landis, has directed some of the most successful comedies, including Animal House, Trading Places, and Coming to America. While directing his segment for 1983's The Twilight Zone: The Movie, a helicopter accident tragically resulted in the deaths of actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen. In 1987, Landis was charged with involuntary manslaughter but was ultimately acquitted. In this episode, we discuss why he is a Creep.

Synopsis Two American tourists David and Jack are hiking through Europe when they are attacked by a giant wolf in the northern moorlands of Britain. A month later during the full moon, David turns into a werewolf. But not any ordinary, this one is louder, friendlier, individualistic, and more confident than British werewolves. It wreaks havoc on London, biting and slashing through town while being openly patriotic. Review of An American Werewolf in London An American Werewolf in London is a classic 80's horror movie that stands the test of time. Director John Landis brings the humor he is known for from Animal house and Blues Brothers, and combines it with the horror that he brought to behind the scenes of Twilight Zone: The Movie. The cast of relative unknowns David Naughton and Griffin Dunne bring a convincing casualness as college friends, and really sell the humor. The real star of the show is Rick Baker's practical effects, and the werewolf transformation stands as the gold standard of metamorphoses on camera. While the film does have humor, I would more describe it as casual. Which is a great contrast to the gory violence and disturbing dreamy jump cuts that pop out at you throughout. The film isn't too ambitious and keeps the plot to a basic monster movie reminiscent of the old universal horror movies, but it is spiced up with quirky 80's flavor. Score 10/10

Just a quick note, we apologize for some minor sound issues in this episode. We've got a faulty mic cable and didnt realize it until we began editing. In this week's episode, we're discussing an anthology for the first time in awhile! It's the oft-requested 2012 film "V/H/S." Special topics for your consideration include: a whole slew of brand new advertisers who are absolutely not giving us their money to discuss their product, one of us sharing way too much personal grooming information (see the previous item in this list), a bunch of directors that we really like, calling your partner by a pet name in a disgruntled way, and the pleasure of watching shitty dudes get their comeuppance. We goddamn love an anthology: Episode 21- "Creepshow," Episode 61- "Trick r Treat," Episode 102- "Holidays," Episode 132- "Tales from the Darkside," Episode 178- "Twilight Zone: The Movie," Episode 249- "Creepshow 2," Episode 302- "Verotika," and Episode 368- "Tales from the Hood."
