Ep. 161: Jonathan Penner & Matt Barone (Escape From Tribeca Producers & Programmers)
Show Notes:
In this week’s episode you’ll hear a conversation with Jonathan Penner and Matt Barone, the leader producers and programmers of Escape From Tribeca at the Tribeca Film Festival. They are two people who are also so passionate about horror movies and get to program horror movies at festivals for a job. They give some advice in case this is a field you want to get into as well, and talk about their origin stories as horror fans too because we all have an origin story. It’s such a fun episode and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Ep. 160: Merle Hughes (Winner of the Be Our Guest contest!)
Show Notes:
Merle was the winner of our Be Our Guest contest back in March! He grew up in the 70’s and 80’s so he told me what it was like going to see the original Dawn of the Dead in theatres, how horror movies were basically big events growing up in Detroit, and what horror movie is based on his job. He also told me about his favorite streaming platform and how he’s been loving discovering the Jasons and Freddy’s of other countries!

Ep. 158: Mike Flanagan (Hush, Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House, etc.)
Show Notes:
In this episode we discuss the journey Mike went from being a scared child to a horror-loving adult and how he used horror books as his entryway. He tells me why he thinks horror fans are the more empathetic people out there and the incorrect assumptions people make about the atmosphere of the set of a horror movie or series. We also talk about how his filmmaking has changed since getting sober and how he unwinds after a long day on set since making the change. He also answered some subscriber questions like what non-Stephen King book he’d most like to adapt, his favorite character he’s ever written, and you’ll never guess the inspiration behind the story of Oculus, and so much more!

He also told me which films he’s most looking forward to this year and the films that he tends to shy away from.

Customer Reviews
A Podcast That Brings Guests On To Help Against the Stigma
I'm fairly new to listening to this podcast from Allison Broder. Its premise is simply amazing in the respect that she invites guests who are into the Horror film genre for different reasons. I've been new to the Horror community for about three years now, and I approach it through the storytelling and worldbuilding potential and rich lore that this genre could have just like sci-fi and other genres. For me, Horror is more than it's gore and slicing and dicing. To be brief, I champion a controversial backstory of Michael Myers that gives nuance and transforms his character from a babysitter killer on Halloween to something more; a Chosen One.
You will not be disappointed by tuning into her podcast and I was drawn into this unique Horror podcast for the quality and her effort to help destigmatize this genre.
Out of all the horror options, why this one?
Allison’s short form interview style leaves nothing to be desired. She does her homework, allows her guests to champion their positions, and gets down into the “what” and the “why” of horror, presenting a new take on an old concept: why do we love being scared? Pound for pound, the most consistent podcast week after week, with just enough fluff to give the podcast body, but little enough to allow it to have soul.
Awesome Podcast
