The CCD Podcast: Episode #106 - Horror in 'Dark Times'

After Mary Shelly and Bram Stoker introduced the world to the genre with their Gothic Novels Frankenstein & Dracula, the supernatural and scary have crept into a significant portion of all forms of art. The horror genre has been around since the beginning stages of film... a logical place for ear;y filmmakers to go, capitalizing on the excitement and adrenaline the audience feels when they are scared! This continued through the Drive-In movie theater era, as well as the VCR tape era. Today more than ever the genre has a firm foothold in the industry. Very profitable and able to be made on the cheap, horror movies are as close to a sure thing that a studio has anymore. In this era of widespread social fear and panic, one would think that the stories being told in this genre may prove more important than ever before. Filmmakers Leland James and Randall Kaplan join Jedi Rob down in the CCD Nerdcave to discuss horror in these current "Dark Times". This one should be fun! ENJOY....

The CCD Podcast: Episode #94 - Randall Kaplan's Boxhead: An Animated Horror Film

We spend a lot of time here at CCD critiquing and analyzing popular films from Hollywood all the time... especially before they come out. But what about the indy filmmakers and the movies they are making? Why aren't we spending more time looking at them? I know what your thinking... where would we find an indy filmmaker in the process of making his own film to talk with? Funny you should ask....

The CCD Podcast: Episode #91 - A Discussion On Psycho-biological Horror

Before anybody brings it up, we know PSYCHO-BIOLOGICAL is a made up word... but when trying to describe this sub-genre of films it really is the only title that fits.  These films are visceral... they explore the lack of comfort that most people traditionally have with their bodies and how that effects them in a mental capacity as well. And no two directors have films that fit into this genre more than David Lynch and David Cronenberg. Jedi Rob sits down with two filmmakers, Leland James (The Fix Documentary) and Randal Kaplan  (Boxhead) to discuss those two influential filmmakers as well as many other directors and films in this bizarre genre. The conversation gets a bit interesting to say the least...,.
