In THE MOVIE CRYPT’s annual Yorkiethon round up Adam recaps the weekend long charity benefit and replays the full interviews with director Chuck Russell (WITCHBOARD, THE MASK, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3) and actress Kate Siegel (HUSH, THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, LIFE OF CHUCK). Yorkiethon IX was the most successful Yorkiethon yet with over 50 guests and $42,000.00 raised for Save A Yorkie Rescue! That’s A LOT of dogs who will be saved!

Film editor Glenn Garland (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS, HALLOWEEN 2007, IT: WELCOME TO DERRY, POKER FACE) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope studio to discuss his career journey. From growing up with parents who didn’t understand why he would possibly want to work in the entertainment industry… to finding personal peace and joy in the edit suite as opposed to enduring the chaos of being on-set… to why as an editor it can be easier to separate yourself from the overall production process and just focus on the story being told… to starting out working as a dialogue editor for the late Roger Corman on ultra low budget films (even though he didn’t know anything about cutting dialogue)… to why he has enduring affection for THE FANTASTIC FOUR (1994)… to making the transition from cutting on film to cutting digitally… to how he first wound up working with Rob Zombie on THE DEVIL’S REJECTS and the incredible working relationship they’ve had ever since… to stories from working on RZ’s HALLOWEEN (2007) and HALLOWEEN II (2009)… this is a fantastic conversation that brings you beyond the set and into the dark room where it all comes together.

Filmmaker James DeMonaco (THE PURGE franchise, THIS IS THE NIGHT) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his new feature THE HOME (in theaters now). From growing up in Staten Island with no viable connections to the film industry… to teaching himself how to write scripts armed with only a copy of Syd Field’s book SCREENPLAY… to briefly attending NYU film school where he made a friend with a means to securing some financing… to making his first independent film RED which lead to a student Academy Award… to how his script for JACK (co-written with Gary Nadeau) lead to an industry bidding war… to working with cinematic icon Francis Ford Coppola and the brilliant Robin Williams on the project… to writing films like THE NEGOTIATOR, the remake of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 and SKINWALKERS before getting the opportunity to direct his screenplay for LITTLE NEW YORK… to creating the worldwide blockbuster franchise THE PURGE and why he and his producing partner Sébastien K. Lemercier have continued to shaped the franchise through five (soon to be SIX) films… to how visiting family members in elder care facilities lead to the idea for THE HOME… to the casting of SNL alum Pete Davidson and the great John Glover in leading roles of the film… to what it was like shooting a film with a cast of elderly people during the tail end of COVID…to learning that every writer needs a “Mad Hungarian” and tons of other anecdotes he’s learned throughout his career… this honest conversation about the path of becoming a filmmaker is one that every artist can benefit from.

Visionary director Joseph Kahn (DETENTION, BODIED, TORQUE) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope studio to discuss his incredible career journey and the making of his new film ICK (in theaters now). From learning how to speak the language of cinema in the 80’s thanks to Spielberg films and MTV… to how a fake company name and a briefcase led to him becoming one of the greatest music video directors in history working with artists like TAYLOR SWIFT, KORN, MUSE, BRITNEY SPEARS, PUBLIC ENEMY, ROB ZOMBIE, and more… to the trials of making his first feature TORQUE and his creative redemption with DETENTION and BODIED… to how he’s broken down filmmaking into “science” and “language” and his theory of “5th Dimensional edits”… to the making of his new movie ICK and why it’s all still “a struggle”, whether its a Taylor Swift video or his latest feature film… this amazing, no f’s given conversation with one of the signature visual voices in pop-culture has been a long time coming!

Filmmakers Aaron B Koontz (SCARE PACKAGE, THE PALE DOOR) and Luke Boyce (REVEALER) join Adam and Joe to discuss their experience show running SyFy’s new series REVIVAL (also available on Peacock). From what it was like adapting Tim Seeley’s epic graphic novel for the small screen… to what it was like shooting Canada for America… to balancing horror, comedy and topical elements that have become almost prophetic these days… to giving the zombie sub-genre a fresh coat of decayed paint… to getting real time reactions to the show while they’re still finishing the last few episodes of the season… this is an amazing conversation that takes you behind the television curtain.

Also, Arwen celebrates a huge accomplishment with her Silent Auction for this year’s YORKIETHON (July 25th - 27th) and the group discusses the state of the Seeley comic everyone wants to adapt, HACK/SLASH.

Filmmaker, actress, comedian, and talk show host Aisha Tyler (CRIMINAL MINDS, ARCHER, WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY?, AXIS) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope Studio to discuss her career journey. From her start as a stand-up comedian and talk show host… to why certain comedians have been able to survive cancel culture… to the joy of working on WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? and her love and respect for the incredibly talented cast she gets to work with… to how she shot her debut feature AXIS in just 7 days (!) and the big creative swings she took with the project… to the moment she started creating her own path, saying “yes” to new experiences, and pursuing the creative outlets that SHE wanted to pursue… to her desire as an artist to explore human nature and the choices we make no matter what the genre… to her work directing music videos for bands like CLUTCH and SILVERSUN PICKUPS… to the upcoming world premiere of her new film I HOPE WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS at Ireland’s prestigious Galway Film Fleadh… Aisha is truly a Jack of all trades and this is one of the most enjoyable conversations you’ll hear all year!

From how the team first met and came together making short form content… to the making of their first found footage project (ET TU) and why that film is actually coming out AFTER their second film (THE PATTERSON PROJECT)… to bringing Radio Silence (SCREAM 2022, READY OR NOT) on board to help shepard the film… to how they fill in each other’s blind spots when making a film together… to how the legendary Bigfoot wound up rearing its head into the story… to working with “Chainsaw” himself and former Movie Crypt guest Dean Cameron (who also produces)… to the art of embracing the chaos and more, FOUND FOOTAGE is both a subversive comment on indie filmmaking and a hilariously scary rollercoaster to boot!

FULL VERSION. Filmmaker Doug Roos (BAKEMONO) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope studio to discuss his international career journey and shooting his latest film in Japan. From seeing ALIENS at age 6 and falling in love with genre cinema… to his fascination with making his own monsters and starting out with nothing but clear plastic bags and a flashlight… to making his first short film at 12 years old and why 1993’s CARNOSAUR was such an inspiration to him… to making films in China before relocating to Japan where he has been living for the last 7 years… to being told “it’s too expensive to shoot a movie in Japan” and accepting the statement as a challenge… to learning about the dark side of Tokyo from actor friends and conceiving the idea for BAKEMONO… to how he made the incredible creature effects himself on an extremely limited budget and why he chose to tell the story of BAKEMONO in a “non-linear” structure… to why he waited to crowd fund the film until he already had footage to show the world… to the hurdles of promoting his film through his own efforts and positive word of mouth alone, Doug is an inspiration for anyone out there who is tired of waiting for permission and ready to make their own movie happen.
