Show notes

On Monday May 6, 2013 the very first episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT premiered on-line. Three hundred Mondays later, the weekly podcast has become a huge part of hundreds of thousands of lives. Hosts Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen have continually entertained, touched, inspired, educated, and even saved the many people around the world that have come to depend on it each week.

Ep 299: Samm Levine Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

Actor Samm Levine (FREAKS AND GEEKS, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) discusses his career journey with Adam, Joe, and Arwen in this ridiculously enjoyable conversation. From his breakout role in the (now) celebrated FREAKS AND GEEKS… to the crushing news of the series' cancellation after merely one (game changing) season… to landing roles on almost every major TV series and in many of our favorite films of the last two decades… Samm has consistently kept us all entertained and represented so many of us as we've come of age ourselves. As you'll learn from Samm's work ethic, it is no wonder that he has worked with so many of the greatest filmmakers and storytellers in the history of film and television. Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for two of our beloved Crypt Keepers, Samm answers our audience's "Viewer Mail" questions, and Adam recounts how this year's IMPRACTICAL JOKERS CRUISE almost became the CAPTAIN PHILLIPS CRUISE on the eve of THE MOVIE CRYPT's milestone 300th episode (premiering next week)!

Ep 298 : Christopher Titus Feb 18, 2019

Show notes

There are few comedians today who can do TV, movies, podcasting and still retain their raw, uncompromising voice over multiple formats and Christopher Titus (TITUS, SPECIAL UNIT) has proven tenfold that he's one of them. Having delved into the darker realms of his family and upbringing and incorporated it into his standup and other projects, Chris has tapped into the vein of comedy that stings, heals, and relates. From the hardships of creating comedy in today's sensitive culture... to how Chris' art reflects his real life... to taking an old TV movie concept and writing, directing, producing, and starring in SPECIAL UNIT... Titus shares all in a conversation that Adam, Joe, and Arwen never wanted to see end. Dr. Arwen answers a very apt "Hollywood Therapy" question about public speaking (something everyone on the show can relate to) and Chris answers our beloved Crypt Keepers' "Viewer Mail" questions in this truly hilarious episode.

Documentary/"Behind The Scenes" producer/director/editor Michael Felsher (JUST DESSERTS: THE MAKING OF CREEPSHOW, DIARY OF THE DEAD, SHOCKER) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss the craft of producing incredible special features and documentaries for home video releases. From seeing RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK as a child and becoming enamored with the process of story telling on film … to becoming the special features documentarian in Hollywood having created the bonus material for over 300+ releases… Michael knows the stories behind the stories – and probably even more stories behind those stories! Dr. Arwen provides "Hollywood Therapy" for an up and coming filmmaker having temporary doubts, Michael delights the boys with tales from behind-the-behind the scenes, and the episode becomes a "making of" for "making of" special features!

Show notes

Writer/Director Rob Schrab (MONSTER HOUSE, COMMUNITY, CHANNEL 101) sits down with Adam, Joe, and Arwen for what starts out as a conversation about Rob's career journey but then quickly turns into a master class discussion on the craft of screenwriting. From the books and software every aspiring writer should get to learn the basics… to honing your individual voice as an artist… to the pros and cons of inexperience… to finding the right location to write in… to how to deal with the inevitable rejection all writers face… this is yet another example of why THE MOVIE CRYPT has often been called "audio film school." Dr. Arwen prescribes some "Hollywood Therapy," Rob answers a ton of our beloved Crypt Keepers' "Viewer Mail," and for the first time ever – this episode is offered with video to the listeners that support this podcast and keep it alive!
