About this episode

The episode features an interview with screenwriter Craig J. Nevius discussing his career and experiences in film.

We continue Marc’s Miserable Marvelous May 4: EVER! with an interview that dives deep into our Nearly New World selection from last week: 1995's BLACK SCORPION! Yes, we talk with screenwriter Craig J. Nevius about his career from writing plays in high school to casting Brad Pitt in his debut feature, 1989's HAPPY TOGETHER, to his beginnings with Roger Corman writing 1991's KISS ME A KILLER to 1994's FANTASTIC FOUR and, of course, the BLACK SCORPION franchise. Along the way we talk about the issues behind the infamous FANTASTIC FOUR production (and dispel some myths), what it was like working with Stan Lee, the difficulty in casting Adam West, what Craig learned from his years working with Corman, and, of course, Underoos. This is an amazing conversation filled with insight and stories never revealed before, so don't miss it! To learn more about Craig's Windmill Entertainment, go to the Facebook page !
