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.

Ep 270: Andrew Yong Aug 06, 2018

Show notes

Last year Andrew Yong sat down with Adam Green for this in-depth interview about his book I, SURVIVOR, however due to the publisher's demands the episode had to be held back from airing until the book's formal release. The lone survivor of the horrific 2007 "Honey Island Swamp Massacre," Yong stood accused of viciously murdering over 40 people in the New Orleans bayou in his now infamous trial. Standing by his testimony that it was in fact "Victor Crowley" (an urban legend / local ghost story in Louisiana) who butchered the innocent victims, it seemed that Yong was surely facing the death penalty until the jury miraculously found him innocent and exonerated him from the heinous crimes. Listen as Yong discusses the writing of his tell-all book and relives his terrifying encounter with "Victor Crowley" that was really only the beginning of the hell his life would become. For fans of Green's HATCHET franchise this tie-in podcast episode is like one giant bonus feature for VICTOR CROWLEY (HATCHET 4) as the characters of "Andrew Yong" and his publicist "Kathleen" cross over into the real world on THE MOVIE CRYPT. Trust us, this is one episode that you're going to want to re-visit some day down the carefully paved road ahead! Order your copy of I, SURVIVOR today on ArieScope.com.

Ep 262: Srdjan Spasojevic Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

Srdjan Spasojevic, the filmmaker behind one of the most controversial films ever made (2010's A SERBIAN FILM), joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen for a wonderfully candid and honest conversation about his career journey so far. From a child growing up in Serbia with only two TV channels and limited access to films… to a teenager with newfound access to video stores and a love for Chuck Norris… to making short films while studying at university… to having his first feature film thrown out of post-house after post-house due to its shocking and boundary pushing content… to releasing what would become the most notorious film of modern time (banned/rejected in at least 46 countries that we know of)… Srdjan has lived through an experience like no other. Listen as the three filmmakers discuss Srdjan's difficult path and the many hurdles he has faced while refusing to compromise his art. Dr. Arwen prescribes a special marital edition of "Hollywood Therapy," our Patreon supporters get answers to their "Viewer Mail" questions, and the mysterious curtain that has been surrounding this controversial filmmaker is publicly pulled back to reveal the incredibly kind and talented man behind the notoriety. No matter what your opinion of A SERBIAN FILM may be we're confident that once you meet the man behind the controversy you'll respect him just as much as Adam, Joe, and Arwen do.
