Episode 523

As Monty Python used to say: "And now for something completely different!" This week, Dread Media helps take a stand against those who would put children in danger. Greg Lamberson joins Desmond for a discussion about Victor Salva, director of the upcoming third installation of his Jeepers Creepers series. In the discussion, they wonder why, when there are so many other thriving independent artists struggling to make films on pocket change, theatre chains like AMC and Regal Cinema, as well as producers like Francis Ford Coppola, continue to wholeheartedly support a convicted, unrepentant pedophile. Then, just so things don't drag the entire episode into an abyss of real-world horror, Devil Dinosaur Jr. gives us a Stay Scary on Green Room director (and upcoming True Detective mastermind) Jeremy Saulnier's early film Murder Party. Finally, Rich the Monster Movie Kid reviews War for the Planet of the Apes. Songs included: "Silver Rocket" by Sonic Youth, "The Ape's Shuffle" by Jeff Wayne Space Shuttle, and "Could this Be the End" by Brendon Small. Whatever the battle, Dread Media sides with the people trying to keep children safe. Anyone else is the enemy. [ 1:24:29 || 40.8 MB ]
