There are conversations that feel scheduled, & then there are those that feel like a wild vacation.
Talking with Johnny Sequoyah at Fantastic Fest is always the latter which is equal parts mischief and charm.
This time we head through primates, Idaho, and, for reasons still unclear, Notting Hill.
I had the distinct pleasure, not once but three times, of colliding with Tiffany Haddish at Fantastic Fest.
She was promoting her latest foray into horror, a genre that, frankly, seems unprepared for her.
There were many hugs and discussions about comedy, beauty, film, and our therapists.
I’ve seen both live. Both are great. Too bad you didn’t add a third for insane clown posse.
He loves AOD. Confirmed.
I still often thing about that exchange in the Alamo. It cracks me up.
This is reason 6,969 why Brett Gelman remains a national treasure of the delightfully unhinged variety.
You will never live that down you maniac even if you did win a Bruce Campbell contest.
True but Army of Darkness projected it to main stream in thousands of theaters.
It is the better film through and through than the first one. It’s not easy adding comedy to something like that.
It is. Army of darkness is fine crown jewel of one liners, and every genre into one movie buy furthering the story into the coolest narrative.

There is a particular pleasure in listening to adults argue about what fictional drugs from a movie they would take with the intensity of a moral crisis.
On the latest Fear and Loathing in Cinema Podcast, that question is answered.
It spirals before we get into Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999).
Before Antonio Banderas became the swashbuckling feline of family-friendly lore, he was the disquieting heartthrob of a film once stamped with the dreaded X-rating.
The movie in question, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! From Pedro Almodóvar on the Criterion Collection.

Weapons of Mass Disruption: A Grinning, Horrifying Panic Attack With Zach Cregger’s Weapons That Reloads The Horror Genre
There’s no question: Weapons is the best horror film in years. Maybe decades.
boomstickcomics.com/weapons-of-m...
Weapons is scary as hell and darkly hilarious.
It’s a cinematic panic attack that grins while it guts you.
It crawled into my brain, redecorated, and now lives there rent-free.
The best horror film in years, hands down.
I may never sleep again.
