On our latest podcast episode we're doing a genre double-dip when I talk to director Mike Schiff about his informative new documentary, The History of Metal and Horror, which features notable luminaries from the worlds of film and metal discussing why the two genres feel so interlinked.
The film is a treasure trove of genre trivia, with Schiff picking the brains of the likes of Rob Zombie, John Carpenter, Kirk Hammett, Corey Taylor, Kane Hodder, Richard Christie, Dave Mustaine, Phil Anselmo, John 5, Bill Mosely, Johnathan Davis and Alice Cooper (and that's just scratching the surface).
It's a fun deep dive of all things scary and rocking, and in our interview Schiff discusses why this film took over five years to get released, what he found most illuminating from the interviews, cancel culture, remembering the late Gunnar Hansen, Sid Haig and , plans to release more material, a possible sequel, and much more.
So take a listen, and if you want to buy or rent the doc, you can do so directly from the filmmakers website or via the Amazon link at the bottom of the blog post for this episode.
