When Kent Hill sits down with Mike Caravella, the conversation becomes a road trip through late-night video stores, desert skies and a low-budget dream that refused to die. From a cancer scare to COVID isolation, Mike's journey into the Mojave gave birth to Astral Plane Drifter — a ragged, hilarious and hallucinatory mashup of westerns, kung fu, and space-horror.

Listen as Mike traces the films strange inspirations, guerrilla shoots under freezing stars, midnight screenings, and the festival run that turned a homemade short into a cult-fever feature. This episode is a celebration of the messy, joyous alchemy that turns obsession, community and a little bit of weed into a midnight-movie legend.
