NEW SERIES! [Schumacast] The Early Life and Costume Designs of Joel Schumacher

In the introductory episode of Schumacast, Angie and I look at the early life of Joel Schumacher, his career in fashion, and his transition into cinema as we dig through the seven films he worked on as a costume/production designer. A surprisingly varied list of credits is appraised. Woody Allen is a creep. Someone else took Beyond the Batnipples so we wouldn't have to. And Roger Ebert occasionally had questionable taste in the 70s. Check it out here.

[I Hate/Love Remakes] The Lost Episodes: The Mummy

It's the return of I Hate/Love Remakes as we dust off some old episodes which were never released for various reasons. First up, horrendous audio issues and all, is our look at both versions of The Mummy, the 1932 Universal Monsters "classic" starring Boris Karloff, and the 1999 adventure/horror romcom with Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and some of the most quotable lines of the 90s. Gee, which do you think we prefer! Check it out here.

[Greystoked] The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935)

At Greystoked, Michael and I are joined by fellow podcaster Melissa Kaercher to discuss The New Adventures of Tarzan (aka Tarzan and the Green Goddess), the 1935 serial which was the single outing as Tarzan for Olympic shot putter Herman Brix, who later became actor Bruce Bennett. A multitude of variants of the film were released or failed to be released. An entire cast and crew journeyed to Guatemala with an ape (and potentially a fake foot). Entire said crew then kept hiding in the rain forest from creditors. Actors were almost eaten. Clothes were torn into perfectly tailored loincloths. And marriages and divorces abounded as the couples involved decided to make some swaps. Check it out here.

[Masters of Carpentry] The Ward

This is it. At Masters of Carpentry, Alex and I are again joined by my old Remakes co-host Evie to discuss The Ward, which is to date the final film directed by John Carpenter. Twists and trauma run rampant, Amber Heard is applauded as the awesome actress she is, we're shocked to learn the identity of Jared Harris' father, and we find out we ourselves might very well be aspects of John Carpenter's personality as he slowly and begrudgingly leaps out at us from a mirror. Then, we discuss the F/X test reel for Darkchylde, the film John almost directed from the 90s comic which was very briefly a hit. THEN, Julia once again joins us as we look back on the project and John Carpenter's career as a whole. Check it out here.
