  • Summary

  • Illustrator, Ben Walker-Storey has a lot of nostalgia for the bits of Pop Culture that are spooky, monstrous and weird (just no blood, OK?). On the (new) Cheap Chills Podcast, Ben revisits his own memories and those of his guests (who just happen to be his favorite artists, comedians, musicians, filmmakers, etc.) and unpack how these weird toys, forbidden comics and macabre movies influenced our lives.

    What is Your Lost Movie? Call The Hotline! : Let's Check in With Ben
    Jul 29 2024
    Hey gang, this week Ben is taking calls on the new Lost Movie Hotline. Listeners who caught a movie when they were little, one that seared itself into their memories, can now call in with a voicemail for Ben. If he doesn't recognize your lost movie maybe the Cheap Chills community will! We do what we can.
    Ben describes his own lost movie. It's something that he's been wondering about for 45 YEARS! If you like terror and intrigue among a handful of people stranded on the beach, this film is for you.
    Then in a very special "Let's Check in with Ben" he talks about the art projects he's just finished and bigger ones on the slab. And a bit about what's going on with him at home.

  • Mad Monster Lady, Audrey Rose - Crestwood Monster Books, Being a Weirdo

    Mad Monster Lady, Audrey Rose - Crestwood Monster Books, Being a Weirdo
    Jul 22 2024
    Ben is joined this week by artist, mom and teacher, Audrey Rose, also known as Mad Monster Lady.
    This week's (official) topic is the Crestwood Monsters series of books. They talk about how monsters are relatable because they are also weirdos dealing with rejection. They also get into real life monsters like narcissists, sociopaths and serial killers and why Satanism isn’t scary.
    And in a very special “Let’s Check in with Ben,” Ben defers to next week to unload all that’s going on with him.

  • Building Community Through Weird Films - with Kenneth Filmer of Khloaris

    Building Community Through Weird Films - with Kenneth Filmer of Khloaris
    Jul 15 2024
    This week I am joined by Kenneth Filmer, who is half of a Film and Television/Promotion company in New York City called Khloaris. Khloaris produces films and hosts screening parties in unusual places like back-alleys of industrial neighborhoods and has built a community of like-minded, film-loving oddballs.

    We came into this with a theme in mind so keep an ear out for the part of our conversation about working at video rental stores (Tower video and Kim's Video) but we got into so much more! From the purpose of transgressive media to Davie Allan's fuzz-guitar film scores to what exactly an executive producer does for a film like Ghost Team starring Amy Sedaris, Jon Heder and Justin Long.

    This is a long one so we also got into our thoughts on the Gene Simmons and Kiss, Corey Feldman, how social media can limit our ability as creators and the origin story of Cheap Chills.
