    Season 6, Episode 28: Interview with Rocío de la Grana (Rose) from “The Fuzzies” (2025)

    In this episode, I spoke with an actress who made the journey from Argentina to Los Angeles to study at the Performing Arts Conservatory and has since carved out a fantastic career on stage and screen—including work for Netflix and HBO. She is one of the lead stars of the hit indie horror-comedy The Fuzzies, where she plays Rose, a grounded schoolteacher who finds herself in the middle of a literal puppet-apocalypse. Join us as we talk about physical endurance, grounded acting in absurd scenarios, and the art of staying perfectly still. It is absolutely fascinating to hear what goes into a performance like that. Her dedication on that final day of shooting—literally turning herself into a living frame of animation—is exactly why indie horror is so magical. A massive thank you to Rocío de la Grana for sitting down with us! Until next time, stay safe and keep watching indie horror!

    Season 6, Episode 27: Interview with Sydney Sabiston (Val) from “Time Cut” (2024)

    Today, we are catching a ride back to the early 2000s with the star of Netflix’s hit sci-fi slasher Time Cut. While audiences worldwide know her as Val Vaughn navigating a deadly timeline in the year 2003, local film circles know her as a true powerhouse of the Canadian prairies. Jump into the time machine with Sydney and I as we transport you back to the early 2000’s and talk about that era’s fashion, time paradoxes, and what it’s like to balance being an AD with being the star of a major Netflix feature. Not only did she start her career as an Assistant Director, but she has also spanned herself across the horror community as a gifted actress who can deliver whatever role she plays. It is so inspiring to talk to an artist who doesn't just want to be on screen but genuinely loves and supports every single person on a movie crew. You can watch Sydney face off against a time-traveling killer as Val Vaughn in Time Cut, streaming right now on Netflix. Until next time, stay safe and keep supporting indie and local films!

    Season 6, Episode 25: Interview with Marc Singer (Dar) from “The Beastmaster” (1982)

    I am honored to have sat down with a true icon of 1980s genre cinema: Marc Singer. Join me and Marc Singer as we travel back to 1982 to discuss the legendary sword-and-sorcery epic The Beastmaster. Portraying the heroic Dar, a warrior with the extraordinary ability to communicate telepathically with animals, Marc defined the fantasy hero archetype for an entire generation. Being a movie that was brought into existence during the Golden Era, I feel that this set the tone for a lot of fantasy and action movies (and some remakes). The intense energy that was delivered for the role of Dar is immense and genuine given that this movie was filmed during the times of practical special effects. Over forty years later, the film’s message of harmony with nature and standing up against tyranny remains as powerful as ever—and Kodo and Podo still hold a very special place in all of our hearts.

    Season 6, Episode 24: Interview with Tonya Bludsworth (Deputy Linda Tweed) from “The Taking of Deborah Logan” (2014)

    What an interview! Such a huge honor and pleasure to sit down with such a talented actress… Hang out with Tonya and me as we go deep into the mines to talk about the incredible behind-the-scenes stories from the set, her character’s arc, how she was able to ground herself through the intense sequences, working along side the legendary Jill Larson, plus much more. Overall, The Taking of Deborah Logan is one of the most chilling, claustrophobic, and genuinely terrifying found-footage horror films of the last decade. This film blindsided horror fans everywhere, turning a heartbreaking medical documentary into an absolute nightmare.

    Season 6, Episode 23: Interview with Dari Lynn Griffin (Maude) from “No One Will Save You” (2023)

    Starring as Maude, Dari Lynn portrays the character whose tragic history serves as the emotional engine for the entire plot, fueling the isolation and guilt felt by Kaitlyn Dever's Brynn. In a film famously devoid of spoken dialogue, her performance relied on pure visual storytelling and the heavy weight of memory. We talked about the challenges of acting without a script, building a tragic childhood backstory through flashbacks, and what it was like being at the center of an alien invasion that was as much about grief as it was about extraterrestrials. Our sincere thanks to Dari Lynn Griffin for taking the time to discuss her pivotal role as Maude and the unique experience of filming No One Will Save You. If you haven't seen the film yet, it is a must-watch for any fan of innovative sci-fi and it’s still streaming on Hulu.

    Season 6, Episode 22: Interview with Anastasia Washington (Becky) from the comedy-horror “Grind” (2026)

    I was thrilled to sit down with the incredibly talented Anastasia Washington—a creative force who seamlessly blends sharp comedy with visceral horror. We dove into the 4-part anthology which took a look at the toxic nature of late-stage capitalism, hustle culture, and the gig economy, all while exploring profound themes like Black women's rage. She said, and I paraphrase: “The reason she makes movies is to start conversations.” I would like to know from the audience what would spark your conversation after watching this movie. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Anastasia Washington for sharing her insights on Grind, blending horror with comedy, and starting such important conversations. Be sure to follow Anastasia on her official social platforms to keep up with her latest releases. If you enjoyed this piece, please share it with your fellow film fans.

    Season 6, Episode 21: Interview with Theresa Tilly (Shelly) from “The Evil Dead” (1981)

    The Evil Dead. Released in 1981, what started as an exhausting passion project among friends eventually transformed into a foundational pillar of modern horror cinema. Dig up the dead with Theresa and I as we journey back to 1981 to speak about her role in the legendary movie, The Evil Dead, alongside starring Bruce Campbell, Betsy Baker, and Richard DeManincor. We discussed her raw experiences on that infamous set, the punishing reality of the practical effects, and the enduring, blood-soaked legacy of a film that refused to stay buried. Who would have known that this movie would be influential for remakes involving the franchise? Evil Dead (2013), Evil Dead Rise, and Evil Dead Burn; all stemming from the original which still resonates with fans today worldwide and still one of the biggest franchises to stay connected with the horror community. Also, be sure to follow Theresa on her official social media channels to keep up with her latest convention appearances and projects.
