Cynema

Blumhouse has announced three new "Exorcist" sequels. Not remakes, reboots or reimagining--sequels and Twitter got all lit up about it. I was asked my opinion but my reply was not a simple, one size fits all answer. As horror buffs, have a listen, let's hear what you think. Is it all a cynical cash grab? Let's find out.

Building off EP 101, a look at the absolute Cynema of Independence Day 2. Next to Jaws the Revenge, a film that embodies Hollywood cynical filmmaking.

Is Hollywood and Movie Making really over? What does that mean and most of all who called the time of death? A look at how major studio execs who looked after themselves, kept it business as usual and did little to nothing to embrace the burgeoning streaming technology that would change everything.

My upcoming monster movie, releasing this fall has a unique teen cast and I took this milestone episode to mark their first official interview. Peter Cote, Selina Flanscha, Oliver Givens, Riley Sullivan, Emma Lim and Asher Ruppert share their thoughts and views on coming from obscurity to a major feature film overnight and toward the end their views on films they deem to be "Cynema" and...reveal their dark secret. And more!

Recorded over Skype. Please forgive audio fluctuations.

My upcoming monster movie drops some exclusive audio clips as I discuss fighting the odds in getting this movie made against a global pandemic and the cynical belief the indie film industry "is over." Stay tuned for EP 100!

Ed Wood was not the worst filmmaker nor was Plan 9 the worst film ever. Fight me.
