Where you know him from: Chopping Mall (1986), The Karate Kid (1984), and Head of the Class (1986-91)This month on Interviews After Dark we talk to actor and acting coach, Tony O'Dell!It was such an honor to have a chance to talk to Tony O'Dell this month! We chatted about everything from working late nights on Chopping Mall to becoming an acting coach for a rising star (it's freakin' Zendaya!!) and all the twists and turns in between! We even blew his mind when we brought up Outworld, which we reviewed on TV Obscura a couple months ago. It was a wonderful conversation and we hope you enjoy Tony’s inspiring story :)— 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

From Beyond (1986) Review
From Beyond (1986) synopsis: “A group of scientists have developed the Resonator, a machine which allows whoever is within range to see beyond normal perceptible reality. But when the experiment succeeds, they are immediately attacked by terrible life forms.”Starring: Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Ted Sorel, and Ken ForeeDirector: Stuart GordonThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey and Zak tackle their first (but definitely not last) Stuart Gordon film. No, not Re-Animator…From Beyond! This was one of Corey’s childhood traumas discussed on a previous Watchlist so it was somewhat therapeutic for him to breakdown the entire movie. Unlike Crawford facing his own fears in the Pretorius House, Corey faced his and walked away with his head (and kneecaps) intact!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

First up, Corey talks about his love for M.A.N.T.I.S., then Diallo dives into the D.B. Sweeney vehicle, Strange Luck, and finally Zak gushes all over G vs E (aka Good vs Evil)!

Scanners (1981) Review
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

Interviews After Dark with Patricia Tallman
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

Black Christmas (1974) Review
Black Christmas (1974) synopsis: “During their Christmas break, a group of sorority girls are stalked by a stranger.”Starring: Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, and John SaxonDirector: Bob ClarkMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays (and Happy Festivus)! This week on Podcasting After Dark, Corey walks us through his favorite Christmas horror film as he breaks down the original slasher, Black Christmas (1974). While it may not be perfect, few firsts in any genre are, it more than makes up for its shortcomings with a stellar cast, great humor, and genuinely shocking imagery.

Trancers (1984) Review
Trancers (1984) synopsis: “A gruff bounty hunter travels back in time to 1980s Los Angeles to stop a twisted criminal who can transform people into zombie-like creatures.”Starring: Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, Art LaFleur, and Biff ManardDirector: Charles Band“Dry hair is for squids!” This week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak breaks down one of his favorite movies of all time, and his Christmas pick for this year, Trancers by Charles Band! Not only does it star B movie king, Tim Thomerson, but it also features Helen Hunt in one of her first movie roles! You only need to watch Trancers once to see that she was going to be a huge star.With Trancers coming in at a smooth 76 minutes, you’d think this would be our shortest review to date. Wrong! (Said like Charlie Murphy) By now, you all know what we do over here at PAD lol!
