Tyler Geis’ Basement

Musician and huge horror fan Greg Moco is on the show today. Greg has had a lot of endeavors in music as a singer of a few metal bands in the past. I wanted to ask him the parallel between fans of metal and horror films, but then things just go off the rails, in a good way. Enjoy.

Greg made a rap song a few years back that we talk about and you need to here it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzyWRD679K0

On today's show, we sit down with filmmaker Matt Patterson. He's based out of the great city of Austin, Texas. He had crafted a film prior to the coronavirus outbreak that has now been released that oddly enough catches the anxieties and fears of having to stay inside away from the world.  His film, "Apartment 413" is available to watch on Amazon, Roku, Tubi, Dish Network and many other platforms.

On today's episode we're doing a few recommendations for you to fulfill your Halloween entertainment. I got an early screening of Blumhouse's new film, The Manor. I did a rewatch of They Live, one of my all time favorites. And it was my first time ever watching Psycho II. I also have a book recommendation, Paperbacks From Hell.

A horror franchise that has spanned more than 40 years, "Halloween". From the original classic in 1978 to its 2018 reboot and beyond. It's admired and even some times laughed at, but during the month of October at least one installment in the franchise needs to be viewed. Today on the show, Tyler is joined by filmmaker, Phil George to talk about what they love and even the things they don't like about the franchise and the constant changing of the Michal Myers masks. All and all, Halloween is an iconic franchise of the genre.

He's got three films streaming on "Shudder". Brandon Christensen, director of "Still/Born", "Z" and most recently the film "Superhost", is here today to tell us about the making of all those. He dives deep into his early days as a filmmaker, working with legends Michael Ironside and Barbra Crampton, and how he wants to be the Mike Flanagan of "Shudder"

A walking production company, Walter Gonet is here.  Walt has taught me a lot about what I know in terms of film/video production. But today on the show he's here to take a trip down memory lane and talk about his days as a film projectionist. As well as discuss the film vs. Digital debate, and talk about the magical moment of illuminating the screen with a film for an audience.

Kerey Viswanathan is back on today's show. We both break down the films of one of the more polarizing directors of the last 30 years, Michael Bay. Gear up for a journey all the way back to the first "Bad Boys" in the mid 90's all the way up to Netflix's "Six Underground". We also don't let him off the hook with some things, in case you were wondering.
