In The Mouth of Madness (w/ Mandi Bossard)
About this episode
The episode covers the horror classic 'In The Mouth of Madness' with guest Mandi Bossard, exploring its themes and production.
Do you read Sutter Cane? Really? Name three albums! Sorry? He’s a fictional novelist who is in contact with the Elder Gods who wish to retake the Earth and subject us to their dark dominion? Someone should make a movie about that. They did?! It’s called IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, and it’s a stone-cold John Carpenter classic that we’re covering this week with the help of TikTok’s own Mandi Bossard! Along the way, we dig into the extremely Hollywood backstory of the script, explore what Sutter Cane’s actual pathway to a Second Coming is, consider the astronomical cigarette budget for the movie, and dig into whether we’re watching the movie or if we’re watching the movie-within-the-movie! All this, plus Poison bassists, woman-written-by-man, spoil Backrooms hallways, H.P. Lovecraft roasts, ball-and-chains, and a very tentacle-filled edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! This episode is a real page-turner, so check it out!!
