              David Yarovesky is a director known for Brightburn (2019) and The Hive (2014). 

              Brightburn is an immense innovative horror film best described as If the Kent family found General Zod, instead of Clark Kent. 

              We lovingly describe The Hive as America's best film about vomit.  Yes, really.

              We found Dave to be a shockingly fun,  silly, and creative horror connoisseur.  We hope you enjoy this episode of Gaming and Gabbing as much as we did making it!
