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.

Show notes

Writer/director BenDavid Grabinski (ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK, SKIPTRACE) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to share his career journey thus far. From a young boy growing up in a religious home where he wasn't allowed to watch PG-13 or R-rated films… to enduring over 10 years of selling script after script only to have his work go unmade for one random reason or another… to striking gold with Nickelodeon's ARE YOU AFRIAD OF THE DARK… to the pressures of writing/show-running a reboot of such a beloved property….

Show notes

Presley Alexander and Bryson Robinson sit down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their career journeys as young performers. 14 year-old Presley (joined by her father Brian) started her own YouTube channel when she was only 7 years old - never missing a single day without a new vlog post for 5 years straight! She has also hosted numerous children's shows and was even featured on 60 MINUTES! 13 year-old Bryson (joined in studio by his mother Dee) has appeared in a number of commercials, print ads, television shows, and web series including ABC's FRESH OFF THE BOAT and the award winning (and extremely popular) YouTube series MANI. From finding their passion for the arts at such young ages… to how they balance work, school and play… to the differences between their generation and Adam and Joe's generation when it comes to consuming content… to weighing in on the ongoing STAR WARS debate over how to pronounce "AT-AT"… to performing in Adam Green's 21st annual ArieScope Halloween short film PUMPKIN DICK (now playing on www.ArieScope.com and on ArieScope's YouTube channel)… you'll surely fall in love with these two incredibly special young artists! Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a listener who is conflicted over on-screen violence, Presley gives Adam hope for the future of the world, and the boys say goodbye to their dear friend Sid Haig in this incredibly inspiring, hilarious, and touching conversation.

Show notes

He's SWAMP THING. He's JASON VOORHEES. He's THE PREDATOR. Derek Mears has played more iconic characters under heavy make up than most any other actor in Hollywood because he's just that good. He also happens to be one of the very best friends of THE MOVIE CRYPT having guested on 2 episodes, performed improv comedy during 2 of our 48-hour live YORKIETHONS, and he's even filled in as a co-host when Joe was out of town for 2 of our Patreon-only monthly LIVE shows. Even more so than being part of a "Hall of Fame" episode- Derek Mears is actually a "Hall of Fame" friend. Head back to May 2013 with us and listen to Derek's very first appearance on this podcast.

Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for a filmmaker looking for a way off of a film set and the gang learns never to text in front of Henry Rollins in this fantastic conversation that was well over a decade in the making.

Ep 331: Scott Beck & Bryan Woods Sep 30, 2019

Show notes

Filmmakers Scott Beck & Bryan Woods (A QUIET PLACE, HAUNT) sit down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their career journey as a duo. From making multiple feature films together while still going to High School in Iowa… to the benefits of never forgetting where they came from… to analyzing why it's mainly other filmmakers who are so critical over every single thing they watch… to having to make the decision to let someone else direct A QUIET PLACE (and how well that decision ultimately panned out)… this incredibly candid conversation perfectly illustrates why Beck and Woods are currently two of the most exciting filmmakers to watch. Dr. Arwen provides a windfall of advice equal to 4 full years of film school for an aspiring filmmaker in need of "Hollywood Therapy" over her anxiety about the steps she needs to take in pursuing her dream, the group splishes over STAR WARS (if you were part of THE MOVIE CRYPT LIVE family you'd be splishing, too), and Joe accepts Adam's challenge to defend a made up holiday based around a specific kind of pizza.

HALL OF FAME: Alex Pardee (Ep. 49) 4.28.14 Sep 27, 2019

Show notes

Artist Alex Pardee (DIGGING UP THE MARROW, SUCKER PUNCH, CHADAM, THIS IS THE END) is truly one of the most gifted human beings on planet earth. From being institutionalized as a 14 year old boy because he suffered from depression... to creating artwork for bands like THE USED and for filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and Zack Snyder... to joining forces with Adam Green and bringing his beautifully horrific artwork to living, breathing life with DIGGING UP THE MARROW, Alex's story is as fascinating as the creations he paints. This "Hall of Fame" episode contains some of the most heartfelt, honest, and inspiring conversations in our program's history.
