- Ep. 74 - Robert Eggers / The Witch
Wouldst thou like to LIVE DELICIOUSLY? Wouldst thou like to experience a masterpiece of Type 2 art? Wouldst thou like to invest 4 Million Dollars in a first-time filmmaker and lead actress and make 40 Million Dollars back?
In this episode, we'll analyze Robert Eggers's The Witch, a supernatural horror film from 2015 — and I'll attempt to answer those questions.
Understanding is useful, so here we go.

54 min - 072: The Long Kiss Goodnight + Creative Projects: How To Focus On And Complete Them
Here are two questions. Why did screenwriter Shane Black NOT work for 9 years after his film The Long Kiss Goodnight? And coincidentally, if you've got a Creative Project, how can you focus on and complete it?
I'll attempt to answer those questions in episode 72 of The Carl King Show. Understanding is useful, so here we go.

32 min - 070: Adult Swim-Style Writing - How Not To Do It
Imagine being such a fan of Adult Swim, that you decide to make your own animated TV pilot. You hire writers, voice actors, and an animator — and you spend two years of your life and $12,000 on it.
And when it's finished, you realize: I have NO idea what I'm doing. Well, that happened to me in 2019, and it was called The Oracle of Outer Space. What went wrong? What did I screw up? Understanding is useful, so let's find out.

44 min - 067: The Lost Sir Millard Mulch Documentary (Chat With Chewbode Part 4)
It's PART 4 of my Chat With Chewbode. Today we cover:
The Lost Sir Millard Mulch Documentary, My Dabbling In Egomania, Advice Kevin Smith Gave Me, The Illusion of Fame, How I Think I Get Too Much Credit
Support this Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/carlking
Chewbode is my longest-term friend and creative collaborator. If you haven't listened to Part 1 or Part 2 or Part 3, go back to Episode 62, where we talk about becoming friends and growing up in the swamps of South Venice, Florida — and Episode 64, where we talk about attending Venice High School and How Education Failed Us. Or maybe even Episode 66, where we tell the story of D.E.M.I. (Device To End The Music Industry) and the filming of the Sir Millard Mulch Fake Ibanez Instructional Videos.
As a reminder, Chewbode has been involved in most everything I've made… he's contributed to all of my Carl King, Sir Millard Mulch, and Dr. Zoltan projects. As far back as designing the cassette J-card for my first demo tape, all the way through to story-editing my latest animated pilot. In this multi-episode conversation, we tell the story of our 33-year friendship — from riding the school bus as teenagers, to dressing up in business suits and selling a fake invention in New York City.

43 min - 065: If I Made A Mr. Bungle Documentary + How To Write Ugly Music
I think of Mr. Bungle as my favorite band. They're unpredictable and can be hard to listen to. Sometimes I can't tell if they're joking or creating music that is complex and profound. So if I Made A Mr. Bungle Documentary, what would it be like?

We'll explore that idea, followed by a music theory segment called How To Write Ugly Music, Part 1: Harmonic Dissonance. Understanding is useful, so here we go.

About The Carl King Show
From the publisher's feed
Every week, I explore (and more importantly EXPLAIN!) music, filmmaking, and the other creative arts. Personal tastes are not technique. I don't waste our time with the same old circular "it was good because I liked it because it was good." No sir! I deconstruct and reverse engineer composition, screenwriting, and how to correctly pronounce the word "folks."
Who am I? I'm Carl King: musician, animated show creator, and author. You might even remember me as Sir Millard Mulch or Dr. Zoltan. I've worked with Dweezil Zappa, Mike Keneally, Devin Townsend, Morgan Agren, Virgil Donati, and Brendon Small. Past guests on my show include Steve Vai, Jon Schnepp of Metalocalypse, Mark Borchardt (Coven), and Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle.
So give it a listening, and let's get beginned!
