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.

Show notes

Director Peter Atencio (KEY & PEELE, KEANU, JEAN-CLAUDE VAN JOHNSON) stops by the ArieScope studio to discuss his career journey with Adam, Joe, and Arwen in this fantastic episode that would make even Liam Neesons proud. After a brief discussion about car accidents, Peter's car receives one hell of a signature Joe Lynch waxing as the boys relate on everything from shooting home movies on VHS… to dealing with studio/network notes… to the end of MTV as we once knew it… to the perils of screening an unfinished film and more! Our beloved Patreon supporters have their "Viewer Mail" answered, Dr. Arwen prescribes her "Hollywood Therapy," and the boys reveal the city and date for their first live show of 2018.

Ep 239: Bryan Fuller Jan 01, 2018

Show notes

Writer/show-runner Bryan Fuller (HANNIBAL, AMERICAN GODS) was one of the highlights from this year's 48-hour live marathon... and now everyone can hear the full 2-hour conversation. How did he get HANNIBAL's extreme and beautifully horrific gore past network standards and practices? How does a show runner map out so many seasons of a show? Is HANNIBAL really over for good? What's happening with the reboot of AMAZING STORIES? You're going to love this conversation almost as much as we love Bryan for taking the time to hang out with us just moments before heading to the premiere of THE LAST JEDI, having incredible taste in footwear (you'll hear), and for being such a great guy that he even made his own very generous donation to "Save A Yorkie Rescue" just minutes after leaving the ArieScope Studio. This man is a saint!

The CREEP 2 gang of filmmakers Mark Duplass (THE ONE I LOVE, THE LEAGUE) Patrick Brice (CREEP, THE OVERNIGHT) and Desiree Akhavan (APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR) stopped by the Crypt to discuss their critically acclaimed sequel to the original 2014 film. Joe flies solo this week while Adam was still on tour with VICTOR CROWLEY but it was a lively discussion about the trials of creating a unique spin on the "found footage" genre and then making a sequel that feels just as fresh and new (trust us, they did it!). They also discuss their origins in the film world, the guerrilla-style making of CREEP 2, bringing in another fresh voice in Desiree to stir the pot for ole Peachfuzz and some fun stories on Duplass's HBO series ROOM 104 which just got renewed for a new season.
