We talk about his experiences working for Def Jam in the 1980’s, his experiences directing and working on horror films and the origin of his signature character Lady Death. We also discuss the state of film production in Arizona, the state of current film exhibition, the origins of the International Horror & Sci Fi Film Festival which Brian co-founded here in Arizona and its connection to the Phoenix Film Festival, plus we talk about the comic convention experience and Tucson Comicon, which Brian now has a connection to which we will explain.

From Buenos Aries or not, you need to hear about our very first official DIRECTOR SPOTLIGHT periodic series and our first one is on PAUL VERHOEVEN. Who? You might ask? Have you heard of Robocop? Total Recall? Basic Instinct? Starship Troopers? Or how about Showgirls? Oh boy, you're in for a treat! Dutch-born Paul Verhoeven dominated American sex and violence on-sceen during the 90's. Is there things worth watching since then or what is good in his earlier career?

Get ready for Cult Classics Presents: Total Recall showing this coming Saturday at Pollack Tempe Cinemas. Tickets and more info at CULTCLASSICSAZ.COM

Boo, dude! This is our scary Halloween edition of Cult Following! Well, really we get down and dirty on what kind or lack thereof chemical stimulants as well as cannibals, cannibals, and more cannibals! Then you'll find out what what each of us are doing this Halloween, the answer may or may not surprise you! On a side note - who else misses when Dunkin' Donuts used to do a Halloween promotion where you could get an exclusive Halloween song on a 45? Those were the days.

Also notice the different scary "song" at the beginning! It's called "Dead Baby Room" by the Minnesota band Inchtimer from their album "Sullen". Our own Cult Following co-host Adam "Lazlo" Rutkowski produced, engineered, and performed on the track.

Follow, rate, comment! We'd love to hear from you!

We're on iTunes as well.

This is the episode where we do something a little bit different. How would we recast a 2014 blockbuster if it were made back in 1994? Who will we pick? Why did we pick our recast? Is it because of the recast director? Is it because of the lead character? Is it from the corporate cash-cow perspective?

Listen and let us know who you'd choose! Let us know if you like our selections or if you would go with someone else!

We also catch up on what we've been up to for the last few weeks and dig in to the Disney Frozen phenomenon.

This episode was recorded before Wes Craven's passing. On behalf of Cult Following, Wes Craven has not only influenced an entire generation of filmmakers but also set the rules for every horror film to either follow or break. Long live Wes Craven.

In this podcast we are lucky to have back Joshua Ruth as a co-host. We get everyone caught up on our most recent movie viewings as well as a passionate discussion about collecting!

Geeks and nerds unite!

On this episode we invite a fourth co-host to sit in and talk movies that are about or inspired by video games. When it comes to video game movies Joshua T. Ruth brings a well-rounded knowledge and enthusiasm to the table. It's no surprise that he's a guest co-host as we dig deeper and deeper into the mechanics of video games for the silver screen. We're just in time for an anticipated Cult Classics AZ screening of The Last Starfighter! Join us!

In light of 2014 and (so far) 2015 raking in some serious Hollywood "blockbuster" deficits worse than the deadbeat dads making excuses to Judge Judy, we as fans of cinema examine the past while looking toward the future of the how and why of Big Budget Box Office Failures.

As always, we catch up on what we have been doing since episode 16 as well as show much love and sadness for the premature passing of Roddy Piper.

Come with us as we laugh, debate, and shed a tear or two for our biggest show yet!
