This week we feature coverage from the FLYOVER FILM FEST, featuring interviews with John Stalberg Jr., director of High School, author and film curator Jack Stevenson and Jason Epperson, director of Unrequited.

“It got to the point, my parents were like - you need to read more, you’re watching too much TV, you’re watching too many movies. This isn’t going to amount to anything - what are you doing with your life?”

Movie Meltdown - Episode 82.2

This week's Sofa Theater feature: Blue Velvet. We delve into the sick, twisted world of David Lynch, and remember just how amazing Dennis Hopper could be.
 
Log trucks, fire, red curtains, bugs, an engulfing white light and a robotic, symbolic bird. These are just a few of the Lynch-isms that appear in this movie, and the simple mystery that leads you to the bigger questions of good vs. evil.                                 

“It touches on so many different versions of perversion... it's like, where do you even begin?“

WARNING: Can you spoil a Lynch movie? I guess so. Either way, we do discuss a lot of key moments and plot points, so... spoiler alert.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 81.2

This week's Sofa Theater feature: The Dark Crystal. Join us as we revisit the dark world of puppets that we grew up on.

This work of art makes us pose the question: Were you a kid that was interested in the cute creatures or the creepy ones? And why are kids drawn to evil characters? 

Plus a One from the Vaults story from puppeteer Bill Diamond about working on The Dark Crystal.                                               

“I can’t take puppets that damned seriously.“

WARNING: You should have already seen this anyway, but if not - you're on spoiler alert.
