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.

Show notes

Make-up FX artist Dean Gates (DAY OF THE DEAD, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, BLUE VELVET, JURASSIC PARK) dazzles Adam, Joe, and Arwen with behind the scenes anecdotes from the many (many) classic films he has contributed FX work to throughout his long and illustrious career. From doing make-up FX for TV when he was still only in High School… to working with legends like David Lynch, Steven Spielberg, George Romero, Stephen King, and James Cameron (just to name a few)… to winning an Emmy for his work on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE… to working with the great Carlo Rambaldi (the creator of E.T. – don't worry, Adam doesn't cry) … Dean keeps the boys (and girl) fully geeked out with his amazing experiences. Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" to a filmmaker coping with the frustrating truth that the bigger streaming services would rather die than disclose their actual numbers, Adam has a message for the fans that reached out to him while his grandmother was passing, and Dean talks about killing Dennis Hopper again and again (and again) in this fantastic(al) conversation!

Show notes

Filmmaker Adam Egypt Mortimer (SOME KIND OF HATE, DANIEL ISN'T REAL) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen for a lively discussion about his career journey and the sacrifices one must make in order to make filmmaking their life. From directing music videos… to surviving the empty promises of financing that never materialized… to picking himself back up and refusing to accept defeat… to defeating the boxing beast that is Josh Ethier in the ring at Fantastic Fest (while nursing a set of broken ribs to boot!)… to the 7.5 years that it took to make his latest film DANIEL ISN'T REAL (in theaters 12.6.19)… Mortimer pulls no punches in telling it like it truly is. Dr. Arwen lives up to her proud title as an officially certified service animal and provides emotional support for a patient wracked with guilt over his recent career choice, opening up a Pandora's box of raw emotions over the life choices that Green and Lynch have committed themselves to (for better or for worse) in one of the most epic "Hollywood Therapy" sessions to date.
