Episode 120: Lost Films and Crazy Movies You Never Saw with Roxanne Guarino S. A. Bradley

For the last 25 years, Cinema Wasteland has been a Mecca for horror movie maniacs. The legendary convention draws cineastes in and turns them into repeat visitors, "Wastelanders."
As CW reaches its Silver Anniversary, many Wastelanders ask," How long will this go on?" 
Join me as I discuss Cinema Wasteland's ongoing saga and interview veterans and newcomers, trying to define what makes this show the last great fan convention standing.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Horror movie collectors live to find those rare movies that eluded us. These are the movies that are so obscure and bizarre that it becomes a quest to see them and pass them on to other fans.
Join our guest, Roxanne Guarino (Cinema Insomnia with Mr. Lobo), author of the new zine The Craziest Movies You Never Saw, as we discuss the growing lost media culture, legendary "Holy Grails" of horror and cult, and our own favorite cinematic lost causes.

Welcome to "Tape Two" of S.O.V. (shot on video) movies that prove that Horror is the Punk Rock of Cinema!
For decades, fans made movies without Hollywood, money, or distribution deals. Following the DIY ethos, regional horror movies sprung up everywhere and told crazy, original, and personal stories and created a subculture.
Just like punk rock did! 
Join me as I curate a list of movies that show the diversity of SOV movies, how filmmakers worked out personal traumas by creating, and how SOV gave a legendary director one last chance to be heard!
I hope you enjoy the show!
