The Movie Crypt

Filmmakers Adam Green (FROZEN, the HATCHET franchise), Joe Lynch (MAYHEM, EVERLY), and Arwen the Yorkie host this inspirational and educational program that offers a fully comprehensive look at the entertainment industry, the artistic process, and the enduring struggle of not giving up on your dreams. By candidly sharing their own trials and tribulations in Hollywood, Adam and Joe create an extremely honest and heartfelt dialogue with their guests. The hilarious, heartbreaking, and therapeutic “artist on artist” conversations focus on each guest’s individual journey and the various hurdles they have personally faced and conquered along the way. With guests ranging from Academy Award winners, entertainment icons, and A-list celebrities… to cinematographers, editors, studio executives, and countless other crucial positions not typically featured in the spotlight, an average episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT offers more insight for navigating the entertainment industry than an entire semester of film school. Hailed by Entertainment Weekly magazine as “one of the top 20 podcasts you should be listening to” [Issue #1345], a new episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT has been released every single Monday without fail since the day the podcast launched on May 6, 2013.

Ep 366: Oliver Robbins Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

Actor/Filmmaker Oliver Robbins (POLTERGEIST, AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL) "virtually" joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey! From a child actor in two of the biggest blockbusters of 1982… to attending film school at USC… to walking away from entertainment to pursue a career as a stock broker… to returning to film on "the other side" of the camera (See what we did there? POLTERGEIST 2: THE OTHER SIDE? Get it? Whatever, your jokes aren't funny either.) … to his latest film CELEBRITY CRUSH (out now on digital and on-demand)… Oliver's journey through Hollywood and back again is filled with bullies, clowns, scary trees, and more! Dr. Arwen provides emotional support to a filmmaker looking to make the most of their COVID-19 isolation, Oliver makes Adam and Joe seriously jealous with an amazing Spielberg story, the guys get to the bottom of the Toby Hooper vs Steven Spielberg directing most of POLTERGEIST rumor, and Arwen gets sucked into the ArieScope TV by scary ghosts in this candid and responsibly socially distant conversation! (One of those things didn't actually happen.)

Ep 365: Fernando Alle Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Filmmaker Fernando Alle (MUTANT BLAST, BANANA MOTHERF*CKER) "virtually" joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen all the way from Portugal to discuss his career journey. From his short films that made a huge impact on the festival circuit (PAPA WRESTLING)… to working with Troma/Lloyd Kaufman on his latest- the absolutely insane feature MUTANT BLAST… to dealing with two-faced critics… to almost getting trapped in the US when the COVID-19 pandemic became a national emergency during his Los Angeles premiere… Fernando's experience is one that will inspire so many other young filmmakers striving to make their mark. Dr. Arwen provides emotional support for a Swedish children's book writer, Adam explains how to play INDIANA JONES with your dog during quarantine, and Joe's "Dad" mustache begins to filter his jokes in this thoroughly enjoyable conversation.

Ep 364: SCREAM, QUEEN! May 25, 2020

Show notes

Actor Mark Patton (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE) and co-directors Roman Chimienti and Tyler Jensen "virtually" join Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their new documentary SCREAM, QUEEN! MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - now streaming wherever you prefer to watch new releases! While being careful not to spoil the events of the documentary, the group discusses the fascinating process of making a movie about a man's life story- only to find that pivotal moments of that on-going story are taking place right before their cameras. From NIGHTMARE 2 originally being looked upon as a controversial slasher sequel due to its infamous homoerotic subtext… to that very same subtext being a huge reason why the film is now celebrated many decades later…to the movie's star (Mark Patton) being "outed" by the film before he was ready to "come out" and coming to terms with his long standing resentment towards the experience… Patton's story is an extremely important one. This is one conversation you don't want to miss - and an episode that you'll only relate to even more if you make it a point to see the film! (Seriously- see it!!)

Ep 363: Greg Nicotero Returns! May 18, 2020

Show notes

Make-up FX maestro, director, and now show-runner Greg Nicotero (AMC's THE WALKING DEAD, Shudder's CREEPSHOW, THE MIST, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2003 ) "virtually" joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss all that he's been up to since his first MOVIE CRYPT episode over 5 years ago. With the conversation mainly focused on Greg's rise up the ranks on THE WALKING DEAD both as a director and producer on AMC's hit series and on his new series CREEPSHOW where he's got the weight of Romero and King's legacy on his shoulders… this episode is surely "the most fun you'll ever have listening to a podcast!"

Show notes

Legendary filmmaker Abel Ferrara (BAD LIEUTENANT, DRILLER KILLER, MS.45, KING OF NEW YORK ) "virtually" joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen all the way from Italy to discuss his career journey. Rising out of the New York sleaze scene in the 70's, Ferrara has done it ALL over the course of his 50 years in the business! From feature films… to major network television shows like MIAMI VICE and CRIME STORY… to music videos… to documentaries and beyond, Ferrara shares tales from the trenches in this phenomenal conversation that kept Adam and Joe fully star struck and geeking out! From the way movies used to get made to the current state of our industry in this new "Coronavirus world," Ferrara's honest and candid perspective is just what the CDC and other worldwide pandemic officials ordered!

Ep 360: Brett & Drew Pierce Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

Filmmakers Brett and Drew Pierce (DEADHEADS, THE WRETCHED) "virtually" join Adam, Joe, and Arwen from their Coronavirus quarantine to discuss their career journey so far. Growing up with a father who had not only worked in the industry but who worked on THE EVIL DEAD of all films, Brett and Drew were both bit by the entertainment bug as far back as they can remember. From realizing that they were simply better together… to making shorts for fun… to their grass roots effort to produce their first feature DEADHEADS… to continuing on with the same family affair vibe for the production of their latest feature THE WRETCHED… the Pierce Brothers are a perfect example that sometimes two deadheads in the director's chair are truly better than just one deadhead. (See what we did there?) Dr. Arwen provides emotional support for a patient suffering from stamina jitters, Joe spends the entire episode in his favorite wing of the ArieScope Studio, and the boys reflect back on Adam's recent month-long "Coronapocalypse"daily live stream series.

Ep 359: Clark Duke Apr 20, 2020

Show notes

Filmmaker and actor Clark Duke (KICK-ASS, SEX DRIVE, HOT TUB TIME MACHINE, TV's THE OFFICE) "virtually" sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen during the Coronavirus pandemic in their first ever episode recorded without the guest in the studio with them. Clark has been a working actor since he was a child performing in major studio films and network television shows, but he has recently made his feature directorial debut with his new film ARKANSAS. Listen as Clark describes his experience making the film, from getting the project financed… to truly putting in the work during pre-production… to the shoot itself… to the disappointment of having the South By Southwest film festival premiere cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Dr. Arwen provides emotional support for a patient who has found himself disenchanted with his once wonderful work environment and the guys keep The Movie Crypt moving forward despite the Black Plague shutting down the world as we all knew it.

Ep 358: Frank Meyer Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

Filmmaker, author, and musician Frank Meyer (ATTACK OF THE SHOW, X-PLAY, VIDEOGAME THEATER, RISEN: THE STORY OF CHRON 'HELL RAZAH' SMITH) braves the apocalypse to sit down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen and share his career story. From growing up around established artists and industry players… to fronting the punk band THE STREETWALKIN' CHEETAHS… to writing the definitive biography about THE RAMONES ("On The Road With The Ramones")… to becoming a producer for the G4 Network… to creating the award-winning web series FREESTYLE 101… to developing digital programming for several television shows (FRIDAY NIGHT TYKES, BEST BARS IN AMERICA, and X-PLAY)… to directing the MTV Italy puppet TV series VIDEOGAME THEATER… to directing the new documentary RISEN about Wu Tang Clan's affiliate rapper Chron 'Hell Razah' Smith who suffered a near fatal brain aneurysm… Meyer is truly an artist who has done it ALL. Dr. Arwen provides dueling emotional support for a patient with questions about "the end" as well as a patient suffering from the sophomore effort jitters and everyone keeps their spirits up while facing the Coronavirus pandemic in this truly inspiring conversation about what it really means to never give up.
