For this episode of Necronomicast, it is my pleasure to welcome to the show filmmaker Seth Breedlove!  Seth has written, edited, produced and directed shorts and features about a variety of topics but is best known for his production company and the films they've produced under the Small Town Monsters banner.

In 2013, Breedlove began working on the concept for a series entitled Small Town Monsters. In general, he set out to capture true accounts from tiny communities often forgotten by the larger media outlets, and from the era (1960s and 1970s) of high intensity monster encounters. These cryptid sightings and stories were perfect for a documentary production company with a history of working in the Midwest. Seth Breedlove achieved his goal with sterling results. He was able to document cryptozoology by interviewing the original witnesses and re-creating/re-discovering elements of the cases at the ground level.

After 10 years, dozens of productions, and millions of downloads and views, learn why Small Town Monsters is one of the best independent film companies in America.

You ready to fight?   For this episode of Necronomicast, I am joined by the filmmakers behind the hit new Netflix documentary that is sweeping the globe!  Sophie Jones and Luke Sewell join me to talk all about "Fights, Camera, Action" which focuses on the rise and fall of "The Jerry Springer Show".

This jaw-dropping, premium two-part series that tells the story of The Jerry Springer Show as it’s never been told before. This Netflix documentary explores how this daytime talk show became one of the biggest and most outrageous TV hits of the nineties. But behind the entertaining facade lay some darker truths. As we hear from the director and producer, a murkier picture begins to emerge of the destruction it caused, raising renewed questions about who was responsible, and how far things should go in the name of entertainment.

Human beings are way scarier than ghosts and monsters!
