Gazzo, and Henry SilvaDirector: Lewis TeagueThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey breakdown and review Alligator!

Interviews After Dark with Tom Noonan
Where you know him from: Manhunter (1986), The Monster Squad (1987), and RoboCop 2 (1990)This month on Interviews After Dark we talk to actor, Tom Noonan!The boys were beyond thrilled to talk to this legendary character actor about his strange and varied movie career, but what they got was so much more than they could have hoped for! Not only does Tom Noonan talk about auditioning for the role of 'Francis Dollarhyde' in Manhunter (1986), but he also talks about his time in an artists commune when he was younger, his desired to be the fastest guitar player in the world (which he let go of when he discovered acting), and so much more! It truly is one of the more interesting (and intense) conversations they've had thus far.Thank you to our Patreon members for making this episode possible!

Another entry in their ongoing 70s-zombie-movie discussion, along with Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things and Lucio Fulci’s Zombie. This time the boys are treated to some truly amazing underwater photography and creepy ghouls, all on a shoestring budget and with a PG rating! Shock Waves is a great example of a movie that is infinitely better than it has any right to be.Leave a comment on our social media pages or Patreon and let us know what you think of this episode or Shock Waves itself.

Lucio Fulci's Zombie (1979) Review
Zombie (1979) synopsis: “Strangers searching for a young woman's missing father arrive at a tropical island where a doctor desperately seeks the cause and cure of a recent epidemic of the undead.”Starring: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, and Al CliverDirector: Lucio FulciThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey breakdown and review Lucio Fulci's Zombie! This marks the first Italian horror film the boys are covering on the show, but it certainly won’t be the last. Zak and Corey both grew up worshipping at the alter of Fulci, Argento, and Bava! The funny thing is, Zombie isn’t even their favorite Fulci film, that distinction goes to The Beyond, but Corey figured this would be an easy entry for new listeners to become acquainted with the genre.Leave a comment on our social media pages or Patreon and let us know what you think of this episode or Zombie itself.
