Actress Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN 1 &amp; 2, THE RUNAWAYS, WICKED LITTLE THINGS, NASHVILLE, BURY THE BRIDE, and more) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope Studio for a lively, laugh filled, and extremely NSFW conversation about her career journey. From growing up around a mortuary where she caught her first glimpse of… well, you’ll hear… to how wanting to meet Mario Lopez played a role in her becoming a child actress… to the Uncle who used to scare her with a Michael Myers mask… to how sex is depicted in modern day cinema and television and the precautions that Hollywood has been implementing to try and make sets feel safer… to why the industry could greatly benefit from offering actors some sort of assistance in coming back OUT of especially traumatizing roles that they have just spent weeks or months immersing themselves in…  to why method actors can sometimes go too far with their process and the drag that they can sometimes be on a production… to the audition process she went through in landing the role of “Lita Ford” in THE RUNAWAYS… to her experience playing “Laurie Strode” and how she dealt with the initial comparisons to Jamie Lee Curtis that HALLOWEEN franchise fans began making before she had even shot a frame of the film… to some of the major roles that got away and how she learned to roll with the many rejections that every actor faces over the course of their career… to whether or not she plans to step into the director’s chair and SO MUCH MORE… this personal and brutally honest conversation between three friends is one that will surely have you laughing just as much you’re learning about Scout’s experiences in front of the camera (so far)!  Dr. Arwen hears from a listener who took years of MOVIE CRYPT advice to heart and pivoted to find themselves living their best creative life in a heart warming and inspiring “Hollywood Therapy” segment, Adam meets his Mom’s biggest fan in Sacramento, and Joe tests the boundaries of his friendship with Adam in an effort to save himself 95 cents in this incredibly entertaining (and sometimes raunchy) conversation.

PUBLIC VERSION.

From the importance of film festivals and why every filmmaker needs to experience seeing their work with an audience whenever possible… to why he thinks Montreal is the best city to visit in the summer… to shooting by international candlelight… to why he adores Lance Henriksen… to how he considers taking on new projects and how he’s held on to his love of acting for half a century… to why he believes a director’s ability to command a room with their unabashed passion is the very key to securing a production’s budget… to why the modern deluge of streaming content is giving today’s audiences “entertainment fatigue”… to what he felt went wrong behind the scenes of his directorial effort 976-EVIL… to his process behind becoming “Victor Creel” and his season stealing performance in Netflix’s monster hit STRANGER THINGS… to the emotional experience of seeing the new documentary HOLLYWOOD DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES: THE ROBERT ENGLUND STORY (now on Screambox and available for digital rental/purchase) for the very first time at the Sitges International Film festival in Spain… to deeply personal stories about how Robert has been one of Adam’s cinematic angels in his journey as a filmmaker… this is an extremely candid conversation with Robert Englund that you simply won’t hear anywhere else.  You can hear all of Robert’s greatest hits and “Freddy” stories in the awesome new documentary, in his 2009 autobiography HOLLYWOOD MONSTER, and in the phenomenally comprehensive NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET documentary NEVER SLEEP AGAIN… but this truly special fly on the wall conversation between three filmmakers (who are still just movie fans themselves) is something you can only get from THE MOVIE CRYPT.

Vincenzo Natali

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Vincenzo Natali (CUBE, SPLICE, TV’s HANNIBAL) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his career journey and the creation of his new graphic novel TECH. From his desire to tell a story in the graphic novel medium where he wouldn’t be limited by a budget… to the creative freedom that came with writing the story and creating all of the artwork on his own… to the gratification of knowing that a graphic novel would definitely be realized and released without succumbing to the many hurdles that come with the traditional filmmaking process… Vincenzo walks the boys through his long process of bringing TECH to life on the page. The group also discusses how filmmaking has changed now that streaming is king… whether or not movies are still connecting with audiences on the cultural level that they used to now that they’re primarily treated like weekly/monthly content to be consumed at home… how originality has become a risk when audiences are so happy to consume endless IP based titles and characters as well as rehashed stories that they are already familiar with… and the price Hollywood has paid by making films and television series so cheap for audiences to access. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for an aspiring filmmaker dealing with a visual roadblock, Adam shares a story about botching an adaptation pitch at the very the start of his career, and the boys ponder the future of the industry once the WGA strike has been resolved.

Ep 247: Mickey Keating

On Monday May 6, 2013 the very first episode of THE MOVIE CRYPT premiered on-line. Three hundred Mondays later, the weekly podcast has become a huge part of hundreds of thousands of lives. Hosts Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Arwen have continually entertained, touched, inspired, educated, and even saved the many people around the world that have come to depend on it each week. From their candid "artist on artist" conversations about navigating and surviving the entertainment industry... to their heartfelt tributes to titans and friends that have fallen along the way... to openly sharing their own triumphs and heartbreaks in an effort to remind others that they are not alone... to their LIVE performances and appearances in cities around the world... to reminding people to believe in Santa Claus and the magic of Christmas... to helping those who are battling with addiction... to their annual 48-hour LIVE marathons that have saved the lives of homeless, neglected, and abused dogs... THE MOVIE CRYPT has helped their audience get back up when they're down and remember to never give up on their dreams. Best of all, THE MOVIE CRYPT has fostered a community of extremely supportive, kind, and loyal people from all over the world. Over the past six years there have been countless friendships born among THE MOVIE CRYPT faithful known as "Crypt Keepers." Given that this loyal group has literally kept the podcast going, the name "Crypt Keepers" could not be more fitting. Without them- Adam Joe, and Arwen would have hung up their microphones long ago.     Listen as members of the "Crypt Keeper" community celebrate THE MOVIE CRYPT with both their words and voices in a fully "Viewer Mail" episode that also includes a look back at "Episode 0" - the never aired, never before heard test episode that was recorded before the podcast ever even had a name. Dr. Arwen provides family counseling in her "Hollywood Therapy" segment and the boys (and girl) debut their new rap group in these fantastic 2 hours that celebrate the previous 600+ hours of this podcast.      STILL not part of our "Crypt Keeper" community on Patreon?? With early access to every new episode, VIDEO versions of new episodes, weekly bonus episodes of "Classic Crypt," Adam &amp; Joe's monthly "Crypt Picks" videos, bonus monthly commentary episodes, the monthly "Movie Crypt Live" show, and the holy "Cult of Arwen" - if you're a fan of this podcast you're missing out on so much!

Adam Egypt Mortimer

Filmmaker Adam Egypt Mortimer (SOME KIND OF HATE, DANIEL ISN’T REAL) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen for a lively discussion about his career journey and the sacrifices one must make in order to make filmmaking their life. From directing music videos… to surviving the empty promises of financing that never materialized… to picking himself back up and refusing to accept defeat… to defeating the boxing beast that is Josh Ethier in the ring at Fantastic Fest (while nursing a set of broken ribs to boot!)… to the 7.5 years that it took to make his latest film DANIEL ISN’T REAL (in theaters 12.6.19)… Mortimer pulls no punches in telling it like it truly is. Dr. Arwen lives up to her proud title as an officially certified service animal and provides emotional support for a patient wracked with guilt over his recent career choice, opening up a Pandora’s box of raw emotions over the life choices that Green and Lynch have committed themselves to (for better or for worse) in one of the most epic “Hollywood Therapy” sessions to date.
