  • Season 4, Episode 47: Interview with Mandy Magnan (Maddy) from the Found Footage Horror, “The Invited” (2024) [Based on A True Story]
    Aug 2 2024

    Movie Synopsis: When a reluctant mother attends her daughter's Zoom elopement, she and the rest of the family in attendance quickly realize the groom is part of a Russian cult with deadly intentions.

    Mandy, such a wonderful and talented actress who had to portray probably one of the hardest roles in the movie. I say this because she’s not actually pregnant in the film, but she had to wear a pregnant belly mold made of silicone (I think) throughout the entire film. Kudos to an actor who has to wear that through the entire duration.

    I am glad that she was able to discuss the entire process of the making of the movie; from the rehearsals, the behind-the-scenes secrets, and what the actors were feeling during the filming. I love getting all the details about the movie, it makes me feel like I am actually there, experiencing what they are.

    So what we have learned: never attend a zoom call that’s a marriage elopement, especially if it’s happening in Russia. Or if you think it’s part of a cult, then turn off the damn computer! You don’t want of that bad juju in your life.

    In conclusion, I do solemnly swear, and I apologize that there was no intentional offense towards Russia and the Jehovah’s Witnesses. This interview is entirely categorized as satire and humor with no intention(s) of offending any audience members. Please forgive what I have said in the interview.

  • Season 4, Episode 46: Interview with Felix Leech (The Fool / The Hanged Man) from “Tarot” (2024)
    Jul 27 2024

    Movie Synopsis: When a group of friends recklessly violates the sacred rule of Tarot readings, they unknowingly unleash an unspeakable evil trapped within the cursed cards. One by one, they come face to face with fate and end up in a race against death.

    Felix is such a badass and cool individual! This guy played the two creepiest Tarot characters in the movie. It’s no wonder why this talented stuntman was chosen; performing stunts in notable movies such as: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023), The Batman (2022), Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019), Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019), and Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) – just to name a few.

    We discussed how he was chosen for these particular roles, and it seems that the casting director has chosen the right person for the jobs. I cannot imagine what rehearsing on set must have been like, pretty tough, I imagine.

    However, I am thoroughly impressed with his story about that Jackie Chan plays an integral part of if his career, and no one on this planet can argue that Jackie Chan is awesome. Role models should always be mentioned in someone’s stories!

    Hands down, I loved the movie! Stunt performers are under-appreciated, and they definitely deserve more respect than the world gives them. In my opinion, stunt performers are the backbone of the movie. So I am hoping that Felix wins an award for this role, he most definitely deserves one!

  • Season 4, Episode 45: Interview with Award-Winning Actress Sarah Nicklin (Charlotte Turner) from “The Black Mass” (2023)
    Jul 22 2024

    Sarah Nicklin, the beloved of indie horror, has been working in horror for nearly two decades. Sarah’s career in film has expanded traction in recent years for her diverse involvement in horror movies, music videos, shorts, and series. She is also stunt performer and producer. She has worked with many horror legends, including Eileen Dietz, Lisa Wilcox, Doug Jones and Dee Wallace, just to name a few.

    __________________________________________________

    Sarah is an amazing and talented actress; I say this because if anyone can act in a horror movie about a serial killer and emotionally connect with the victim vicariously, then nominate her for an Oscar!

    Sarah’s experience working on set in regard to having a dark history just makes the audience want to know and watch more. To be on set and reenact the last moments (for some) of the deceased and those who survived. I could not imagine what was going through their minds as they were filming.

    We mostly talked about her character and Ted Bundy. We also posed the theory (mainly a question) as to why serial killers do what they do. There are so many unanswered questions and variables for what makes them [serial killers] tick.

    To anyone who has not seen this movie, I highly recommend either renting it on Amazon or going to your nearest store and purchase the DVD. Watching parts of the movie through the point of view of the killer along with the ominous build-ups is pure genius. This strategy is what makes a director earn awards and stand out among the rest.

    Be sure to follow Sarah on Instagram for news and upcoming projects.
