| 3/9/26 | Episode 177 - Interview with Kyle Weingart (Filmmaker) | Kyle Weingart was gracious enough to stop by and talk about his new movie, Cuisine de la 'Pocalypse.It's a truly independent film and gaining attention as a clever genre mashup that satiates our need for horror, action, and dark comedy.In addition to talking about his film, he also chose two movies to review, proper They Live by Film style. His love of classic comedy is front and center, and I had a lot of fun with this interview.https://www.cuisinedelapocalypse.com/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/kyleweingartmt/?hl=en | 1h 08m 58s | ||||||

| 12/7/24 | Episode 160: Interview with Moviemaker Scooter McCrae | Moviemaker Scooter McCrae burst onto the scene in 1994 with an underground shot on video zombie classic, Shatter Dead. The movie was better technically than most first time films for auteurs in the 90s, and had more depth of subject than most as well.After Shatter Dead he has gone on to make Sixteen Tongues, a 17-minute short Saint Frankenstein, and a new movie that got a VSP release at Black Friday, Black Eyed Susan.I would consider any of these movies as must see. Scooter is an intellectual with an anarchic spirit and every project is inventive and pushes genre in new and exciting ways.In addition to being a talented moviemaker, however, Scooter is a gem of a human and his humility and humanity shine during the episode. I can't wait for people to hear the passion and sharp wit coming from Scooter in the episode. I'll leave a few links below to where you can find his work. Let me know what you think of the interview and if you would like to hear from more underground and SOV auteurs.https://vimeo.com/350200089 - Saint Frankensteinhttps://vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/saturns-core?page=2 - Shatter Dead and Sixteen Tongues available hereYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@theylivebyfilmThe Radiance Films Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1762070615Punk Vacation: An Unofficial Vinegar Syndrome Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1760290937Wild Side: The Official Monda Macabro Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1762695719Adam's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/TheOwls23/Adam's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/adamlundy.bsky.socialZach's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/dharmabombs/Chris' subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/personalhistoryoffilm | 1h 21m 05s | ||||||

We also briefly got into a thought provoking topic about why the cinema of certain countries naturally seems more compelling than others.
