  • Episode 169: New Survival Thriller CENTIGRADE with Director/Co-Writer Brendan Walsh
    An SUV becomes a deadly prison when a snowstorm submerges a young couple on the side of the road in the new movie Centigrade, with the expectant mother and father-to-be battling not only the elements, but their trust in each other, too. On this special episode of Corpse Club, Heather Wixson is joined by Centigrade director/co-writer Brendan Walsh to discuss his new survival thriller, which is out now from IFC Midnight. Listen as Brendan takes a deep dive into the very real fears of his film, from its harrowing real-life inspiration and unsettling portrayal of harsh arctic elements to the challenges of making a movie in the claustrophobic confines of a vehicle and the powerful performances by Vincent Piazza and Genesis Rodriguez. A prolific assistant director before helming Centigrade, Brendan also reflects on his memorable time working as a second assistant director on the set of Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. So, whether you've ever been snowbound or you've never even seen snow, listen as Heather and Brendan share an insightful and entertaining discussion about Centigrade on this episode of Daily Dead's official podcast!

    From Benny in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dewey Riley in the Scream movies to Rob Geller in Never Been Kissed and Chris McCormick in Eight Legged Freaks, David Arquette has played many unique roles in his career, but his most memorable onscreen appearance may come as himself in You Cannot Kill David Arquette. On this special episode of Corpse Club, Heather Wixson is joined by special guest Arquette to discuss the new documentary, which chronicles his return to professional wrestling, his quest for redemption following his divisive WCW World Heavyweight Championship win in 2000, and his undying passion for the professional sport. Arquette also reflects on working with Martin Landau in the wrestling movie Ready to Rumble, talks about his life-threatening GWC deathmatch with Nick Gage, and discusses his anticipated return to the role of Dewey Riley in Scream 5, the first movie in the franchise to not be directed by the late, legendary Wes Craven. Arquette looks back on the Scream franchise as a whole, too, sharing some of his favorite memories of working with Craven and playing Dewey in the previous four Scream films. So, whether you enjoy Arquette's work as an actor, professional wrestler, or both, enjoy a journey into his intriguing (and at times bloody) life on this very special episode of Daily Dead's official podcast!
