Tenebris Pascua

Johnny has an enchanting conversation with Danny, Greg, Jonathan, and Noah, who comprise the NYC rock band "Arklight."  The interview goes in a lot of different directions and discusses the state of music, creating music, juice, and even death!  Be sure and check out Arklight's extensive catalog of music, listen to their new album "Savage Cultural Exchange," and come out to a show if you're in NYC!

Johnny discusses the significance of this time of year in pagan and religious history, followed by a long talk with independent filmmaker Mark A. Williams about his upcoming slasher fare debuting soon at horror film fests, "Mary's Lake."  The episode closes with Johnny playing the film critic and reviewing Ryan Coogler's "Sinners."

In this episode, Johnny discusses artificial intelligence and how surreal it is to be alive right now; practical effects masters Stan Winston, Tom Savini, KNB EFX/Greg Nicotero, Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, Phil Tippett, and Jim Henson; and dips into some grotesque events happening right now on this spinning rock in space we're all sharing.

In the series debut, Johnny introduces himself and the podcast, talks John Carpenter and "The Thing," discusses thoughts on what goes in to being a fan, talks to New York City-based alternative band "Faine," and closes with a few nuggets and tidbits in news and newly-released creations.
