Bonus Episode: Jay Cheel (Cursed Films II, Film Junk)
Jay Cheel is a writer/director/editor as well as a co-host of the podcast responsible for turning me into a podcaster, Film Junk. I thought why not talk with him right after dropping Episode 200 about his excellent Shudder series, Cursed Films which recently put out its second season that I highly encourage you to see. Always great to talk with such a talented, articulate filmmaker like Jay.
His series, Cursed Films II covers new titles. The show explores the myths and legends behind some of Hollywood's notoriously cursed horror film productions and even tackles how the filmmakers and actors have been affected by being a part of films such as Stalker, The Wizard Of Oz, Rosemary's Baby, The Serpent & The Rainbow and ending this season with Cannibal Holocaust.
Thank you so much Jay for this delightful, insightful conversation and stay tuned for more bonus content as well as Bill Ackerman's first episode as official co-host coming early next month! Also if you're in Chicago this coming weekend (May 13-19) be sure to come to the Chicago Critics Film Festival which I highlighted during the last review episode I posted.
