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 313: Taj Jackson May 27, 2019

Show notes

Musician and filmmaker Taj Jackson (3T, TV's THE JACKSONS: NEXT GENERATION) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss the truth about his late Uncle Michael Jackson in the wake of the extremely controversial and polarizing HBO "documentary" LEAVING NEVERLAND. Together they dive deep into the details behind the 1993 and 2005 false allegations against Michael… discuss the potential dangers of abusing "cancel culture"… and shine a light on the numerous discrepancies and lies put forward in LEAVING NEVERLAND. Clocking in at 3 hours, this highly emotional and educational conversation stresses the importance of vetting the validity of accusations and the great injustice of blindly believing whatever we're told.

As discussed in the episode, for more information we strongly recommend the following two videos:

LEAVING NEVERLAND: THE AFTERMATH - https://youtu.be/NUNO-MygJOQ

The episode where THE MOVIE CRYPT became THE MOVIE CRYPT, filmmaker Darren Lynn Bousman's (SAW 2-4, REPO! THE GENETIC ROCK OPERA, THE DEVIL'S CARNIVAL) first recording with Adam, Joe, and Arwen changed everything. Originally premiering on January 20, 2014, Bousman's fearless honesty set the stage for future guests to come to THE MOVIE CRYPT with a level of candor that is unmatched by any other entertainment behind-the-scenes podcast available on-line.
