George Romero

We take an in-depth look at the life and career of the late, great George A. Romero. His work means a great deal to more than one of us, so there's a lot to unpack - the two Dead trilogies, the weird experiments like Season of the Witch and Knightriders, his early days working with the likes of Mr. Rogers and O.J. Simpson, his collaborations with Stephen King, his silent periods. This is a good'un.

John McTiernan

Derich and Josh discuss the rocky career of John McTiernan, a real intellectual and an artist who just got shoehorned into making action pictures. To hear the guy speak, you would think he'd be a director of art films or dramas. Movies like Predator and Die Hard are successful largely because of him and his artful approach. It's a shame that his career petered out like it did - both due to declining box office performance, and serious legal matters. All this is discussed at length.
