Anthology Anthology

Brea has barely seen the original Twilight Zone-- and it's time to rectify that! We start Rod Serling's classic series at the beginning with the great pilot "Where is Everybody?" and then watch two lesser episodes "One for the Angels" and "Mr. Denton on Doomsday". What did we learn from this classic series? Are we any closer to finishing GRIND? Does Ed love his baby yet? Find out all of this and more on this week's episode!

Writer/Director/Producer/Editor Mike Mendez (BIG ASS SPIDER, DON'T KILL IT) just finished editing a segment of GRIND and I thought what better way to celebrate than to get him on the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion of his epic career! Mike's been involved in three-- now FOUR!-- anthologies and is a legend in the horror world. He's also edited on "Beavis and Butthead" and tons of different projects. We really get into the nitty gritty of the life of an indie filmmaker. He has seen it all and this is a great talk!

Me (Ed) and Holly have always loved matte paintings and miniatures, and despite knowing very little about how to work with them, we are diving in with GRIND. In today's episode we talk about how we plan to pull that off, and also Holly's journey into the world of production design!

Well we just finished shooting the final pick-ups on our film GRIND and we are bruised and battered. How many things can go wrong when shooting a couple of simple things? Tune in to find out!

There are few anthology segments more iconic than that crazy little doll chasing Karen Black around her apartment, so we dive into this famous TV movie and see if it holds up! Along the way we discuss Ed's new baby (which is why we missed last week's episode-- sorry!), the difficulty of producing, and our impending pickups for GRIND.

Matt Glass (12 HOUR SHIFT, GHOSTS OF THE OZARKS, YOU CAN'T KILL DAVID ARQUETTE) might be one of the most well-rounded filmmakers we've ever met. He can write, direct, produce, edit, pull off crazy VFX, and compose music (including the theme to this podcast!) Brea was promoting her new book* this week so I sat down with Matt alone to figure out how he acquired all of these skills!

* it's called The No Pressure Book Journal! Get it at a book store near you!

** I accidentally said the movie SILK was from Korea. It was actually made in Taiwan. Sorry about that!!

Zoe Cooper is a super-talented filmmaker who dropped by for this great wide-ranging talk! Lots of practical writing advice here. Should this have been part of our VHS series? Perhaps, but this title felt better. We delve into topics like how to collaborate with a director, how to take notes well, and the illegal reptile trade!

We're joined by director Anthony Cousins again for an unconventional episode that will take you inside the process of making GRIND-- perhaps too inside?! One of the segments features a content moderator driven mad by the horrible videos he sees. Anthony's creating these videos for us, and we brainstorm them live on the air. So it does get a little dark! But also just lots of fun chat about the filmmaking process in general and what's up next for the lord of the bog Frogman!

This week's episode (delayed by the fires!) is a request we got from a listener somewhere along the way. Well, you asked for it, and now we have become the Bishop of Battle! Is there anything educational about this TV pilot gone theatrical? Why does that rat have psychic powers? Is the Terror in Topanga segment less scary than being in Topanga is right now? All this and more on this week's episode!

Is there anything scarier than watching the first assembly of your film? Well, we do it on today's episode as we've finally gotten our hands on the lost segment of GRIND!! We document our thoughts before and after viewing as we try to capture the unique psychological torture of facing your footage for the first time!!
