Podcasting After Dark - Cult Movies and TV Shows

Scanners (1981) synopsis: “A scientist trains a man with an advanced telepathic ability called "scanning", to stop a dangerous Scanner with extraordinary psychic powers from waging war against non scanners.”Starring: Stephen Lack, Patrick McGoohan, Jennifer O'Neill, and Michael IronsideDirector: David CronenbergThis week on Podcasting After Dark, co-host Zak walks us through our second David Cronenberg film (the first one being Shivers a few months ago). While Scanners might not get as much mainstream notoriety as The Fly we feel its influences are felt much further. It also holds up very well in 2022 as it touches on a lot of contemporary themes such as privatized security forces and big pharma pulling strings. David Cronenberg was truly ahead of his time with Scanners!As always, leave a message on Patreon or social media and let us know what you think of the episode!— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month, including our celebrity interview series, plus videos and other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LETTERBOXD - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!Purchase 7 WINTERS ALONE on Amazon: HARDCOVER / PAPERBACK / KINDLEThis podcast is part of the BFOP Network

Where you know her from: Night of the Living Dead (1990), Army of Darkness (1992), and Babylon 5 (1993-98)It was a literally dream come true for us to interview the incredibly talented and kindhearted, Patricia Tallman! Zak and Corey are both huge fans of the Night of the Living Dead remake by Tom Savini and she is a big reason for that. Patricia Tallman and Savini turned what was a very weak character in the original film into a total badass fit for a post-Ellen Ripley moviescape!We talk to Patricia Tallman about Night of the Living Dead (she shares stories of her pranking Tony Todd), Babylon 5, being a stuntwoman in Hollywood, and her spirituality (which is a huge part of her life). It's a wonderful interview and we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did recording it!Follow Patricia Tallman on Instagram and Patreon— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month, including our celebrity interview series, plus videos and other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LETTERBOXD - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!Purchase 7 WINTERS ALONE on Amazon: HARDCOVER / PAPERBACK / KINDLEThis podcast is part of the BFOP Network

Unlike that movie, Corey and Zak have never seen Intruder before now so they have no nostalgic point of reference for it.So, what do the boys think of this obscure slasher flick from the 80s? You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out but needless to say, it’s a wild ride of a film! Is it perfect? Not at all. Does it have great deaths and a zany killer? Frig yes!! Intruder has some awesome effects by the world famous Greg Nicotero and the team at KNB and should be watched just for that fact alone.Thanks again to Crystal for being such a huge supporter of the show!

Even though they all feature everyone’s favorite “terrible lizards,” each show couldn’t be more different in tone or design! Ranging from space dinosaurs that can shapeshift to mind-controlled dinosaurs being used in battle… to dinosaurs that can play guitar! 1988 was a wild time to be a kid and extinct animal lol Let us know what you think of the episode on our Patreon page or social media!You can find Diallo Jackson here: Facebook / Instagram / WebsiteListen to The First Noel here: Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Amazon / Stitcher / WebsiteRead Angela and the Dark: ComiXology / Facebook / Instagram / Website— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month, including our celebrity interview series, plus videos and other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!REDDIT - Join our growing Subreddit community!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LETTERBOXD - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!Purchase 7 WINTERS ALONE on Amazon: HARDCOVER / PAPERBACK / KINDLEThis podcast is part of the BFOP Network

Session 9 (2001) synopsis: “Tensions rise within an asbestos cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back.”Starring: David Caruso, Peter Mullan, Josh Lucas, and Stephen GevedonDirector: Brad AndersonThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak walks us through one of his favorite modern horror films, and the movie he always recommends when someone asks for an “actual scary movie,” Session 9! This is Corey’s first viewing but he does have an odd history with the film, which he explains on-air. That and Zak’s enthusiasm for Session 9 really hyped it up for him, which can sometimes backfire.So, how does Session 9 hold up 20 years later? Spoiler alert: fantastically! Even with all the hype, Corey was truly terrified during his first viewing… and the feeling didn’t diminish on his second viewing either. This is a film that lingers with you long after you’ve seen it and we hope our review will open it up to more people. Session 9 is that damn good!As always, leave a message on Patreon or social media and let us know what you think of the episode!— SUPPORT PODCASTING AFTER DARK —PATREON - Two extra shows a month, including our celebrity interview series, plus videos and other exclusive content!MERCH STORE - We have a fully dedicated merch store at TeePublic with multiple designs and products!INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LETTERBOXD - Follow us on social media for updates and announcements!Purchase 7 WINTERS ALONE on Amazon: HARDCOVER / PAPERBACK / KINDLEThis podcast is part of the BFOP Network
