So glad to have a found this podcast. The way Mickey, the host, talks about film, weaving emotions from childhood with local lore while giving me tidbits about the film being made is just awesome and connects in a way other pods can’t do. Just like Nightmare” become a cultural trend, listening to this makes me feel like I’m getting right back into all the hype that did not go unnoticed back in the day. I’ll definitely be waiting for the next episodes…
