    That Screening Podcast E/31: We welcome back Actor LC Holt to discuss his 1st horror film performance in Adam Wingard's HOME SICK @ the Sidewalk Film Festival

    Welcome to the That Screening Podcast with Jay Kay episode 31. For so many reasons, You’re Next has a special place for me. It introduced me to a talented filmmaker in Adam Wingard, showed a prime balance of horror and comedy, created lasting kills, and revealed some talented actors including Filmmaker and Actor LC Holt. Currently in Adam’s A24 feature ONSLAUGHT and recently released his latest feature WATCHDOG, LC is an intense figure who has a heart of gold. Returning after many years away, LC joins us across the zoom landscape to discuss his lasting film screening and episode of personal cinema here on That Screening. A maniac with a suitcase full of razorblades unleashes a superhuman killer upon a group of kids in a small Alabama town. They must take up arms with an insane Chili enthusiast if they want to survive. Discussing his first acted horror film and his first collaboration with Adam Wingard, LC breaks down the 2007 SIDEWALK FILM FESTIVAL screening of the indie horror cult feature HOME SICK including the hometown screening, LC’s awesome on-screen death, DIY filmmaking, Bill Moseley and Tom Towles’s impact, Adam’s journey, the audience interaction, and more on this episode of the That Screening Podcast with Jay Kay.

We discuss the origins of the doc and how I became connected to Swing 46. The people who were important to the film, the 3 and half year journey, overall screening within the club, my love of retro swing, and more on this episode of the That Screening Podcast with Guest Host Skip Shea.

    That Screening Podcast E/28: Macabro Film Festival Director Edna Campos joins That Screening to discuss THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (1967)

    Welcome to the That Screening Podcast with #JayKay Episode 28. One of the true blessings of this journey is the friends you make and the experiences that you are connected with because of them. The #MacabroFilmFestival has been and still is my favorite genre film festival over the last decade plus. A true celebration of genre cinema in #MexicoCity, the festival is led by #EdnaCampos who along with her Macabro coven have spent the last 25 years making global nightmares come true. Edna joins us on this episode of That Screening to discuss a trip down memory lane to her very early years of childhood and a film that did not impress her more than Star Wars but opened her eyes to what cinema and horror could be. #RomanPolanski’s #THEFEARLESSVAMPIREKILLERS. The 1967 #horrorcomedy tells the tale of a noted professor and his dim-witted apprentice who fall prey to their inquiring vampires, while on the trail of the ominous damsel in distress. Edna jumps on to reconnect with me via the zoom landscape as she returns to the times of theater trips with her family, how the experience on the screen made her feel, the portrayal of vampires and the impact on her life, the #Macabro Festival, impactful screenings, and more on this episode of the #ThatScreeningPodcast with Jay Kay.
