PUBLIC VERSION. Merry Christmas and happy belated Thanksgiving! Recorded LIVE during YORKIETHON 8 on December 10, 2023, filmmaker Eli Roth (CABIN FEVER, HOSTEL, THE GREEN INFERNO, THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his craft and career journey. From the long gestating impetus for THANKSGIVING which started way back in his childhood… to the constant fear that all filmmakers share over someone else beating you to an idea… to the difficulties of making violent horror films while navigating the MPAA… to which gory gags Eli had to scale back on with his holiday slasher… to how the demise of physical media and the rise of streaming has drastically changed the business model of film financing… to the fun of creating a great misdirect and keeping your audience guessing on a killer's identity… Eli candidly discusses how he creates his unique brand of fun and crowd pleasing horror.

Adam and Joe recap the enormous success that was YORKIETHON 8, Adam has a heart to heart about CABIN FEVER 2 with Eli that was 20 years in the making, the boys' moms stop by to humiliate them, and Mrs. Green drops a major truth bomb about Adam's personal life in this special 2.5 hour "Santa-size" holiday episode!
