Ho ho ho! Welcome to the Christmas episode!
While watching movie reviews on YouTube, I stumbled across Mad Blood. Immediately, I loved how casual, yet informative Matt, the host, was. He does tons of reviews, rankings and is just generally fun to listen to! So I hit him up asking if he would like to come on the pod to talk about our personal favorite Christmas movies, and he said he'd be there faster than you could say "Rudolph."
So kick back with some roasted chestnuts, grab a mug of Glühwein and relax as Matt and I do deep dives into our favorite Christmas movies and more.
When you’re finished, please check out Mad Blood and SixMacsTV. I guarantee you’ll love his show. Check him out on X, Instagram and Youtube!

More thoughts on “The Ninth Gate.” Ryan McCurdy and I had way too much information on the 2000 classic thriller. As we come got the conclusion, McCurdy talks about movies involving the devil in a term he calls “Satan Cinema.” We do a deep discussion on the very confusing ending in the movie vs the cut-and-dry ending in the book.

A lot of the times before I record a pod my friends and I will talk in general and not just the movie we’re recording. Usually when this happens, it’s 5-10 mins loosening up and then we jump into the pod, but good friend of mine and frequent guest, Ryan “Burger” McCurdy (of “Ranked”) were about to record “The Ninth Gate,” and the conversation was so good I made it an episode! We talk about working in film, my thoughts on the Rock Star Filmmaker, current and future filmmaking and more.

Is this a horror film or Is it crime noir with spiritual elements? Ryan “Burger” McCurdy of the Ranked podcast is back to discuss the 1999 supernatural spiritual flick that was released right before Johnny Depp’s career exploded. I had the chance to listen to the audiobook this is based on and we do comparisons between the two and so much more! Per usual, Burger brings the facts and he and I had more information to talk about than the average podcast, and this is a two-parter.

Actor turned filmmaker, David Andrew James (who shares a striking resemblence to Shia LaBeouf) has been making a lot of noise in the horror world with his film “Bag of Lies”. The simplicity of the film and relatable storyline really packed a punch on me and I had to have him on the pod to hear how it all began!

I’ve known filmmaker Michael Ciminna for a number of years and I always wanted to bring him on the pod but our schedules never lined up. This Halloween he’s releasing a great proof of concept film called “Jack’s Lantern” about a young boy who believes his jack-o-lanterns can come to life. We talk about growing up and riding bikes, making movies and more!
Check out “Jack’s Lantern” streaming on YouTube and Vimeo! While you’re there, check out Ciminna’s other film, “By The Campfire,” a great psychological thriller short.

Welcome to "Cult Classics with Chris," the podcast within "Classic American Movies" where I will interview cult filmmakers. This time I'm talking with William Malone. There is a 100% chance you’ve seen his work: he designed masks (creating the Michael Myers’ mask), he’s made many fun horror films for over 40 years including Tales From the Crypt episodes, movies and more!
I’ve been a big fan of Malone’s since I first saw his 1999 remake of “House on Haunted Hill” (as discussed in Miriam and my’s episode) and finally getting a chance to sit down and talk with him was a lot of fun. From start to finish, he truly was inspiring to talk to and offered a lot of knowledge on films as well as cracking a lot of jokes. A wonderful class act of a man. Please check out his YouTube channel, Undertaking Cinema where William discusses all things cinema!

One of the big reasons I love having Ryan on the pod is that he always brings a lot of information and knows how to use it. We do a deeper talk on this cult classic as well as talk about what the dark web actually is. This episode packs a lot of information that the average person doesn’t know about the internet. Remeber to check out Videodrome to rent this flick as well as many other 2000's horror classics!

One of the more popular episodes I have done was the snippets of stuff I talk about with my guest hosts, in which I call bs’ing. There’s no hot takes or anything controversial, this is literally what it’s like to hang out with me and my friends. We talk movies, LOTR (shocking) and more movies!

Be on the lookout for "Bishop's Day", a proof of concept film I wrote and will be directing. It's "Friday the 13th", "Scream" and "Valentine" in one fun, violent slasher! -
What do you do about the title of your movie when the person who owns the internet domain won’t sell? Well, you add “Dotcom” to your title!
Ryan McCurdy (of the Ranked) podcast is back to talk about a flick I still have the ticket for after seeing it in theaters 22 years ago! At the time, the internet was pretty unknown to the general public and the first thing filmmakers did was make a horror movie about it! I saw "feardotcom" when I was 18 and didn’t think about it since then. However, much like “Gothika,” I kept seeing the DVD at the Goodwill and thought it was time to talk about this nostalgic internet killer thriller. As usual, Ryan and I can’t stop talking and this episode became a two-parter. I loved this movie after rewatching it and after finding out Videodrome didn't have it to rent, I gave them my copy!

Straight out of out the Appalachia Mountains in North Carolina, friend of mine Keaton Lange has been writing and creating music for over 20 years. Being a natural story teller, his lyrics paint a wonderful picture on a canvas of folk music that is a true gem to listen to. I’ve been wanting to bring him on the pod for awhile and with the release of his second EP, “The Runaway,” I couldn’t think of a better time. I was thrilled to finally sit down and talk with him about his lyrics, inspirations and life.
Keaton has a live performance this Saturday, August 31st at the PYK Gallery in Atlanta. Doors open at 7pm. Click the link for tickets!

Last time we saw Ziggy, we were talking about the Tarantino-inspired crime thriller “Suicide Kings.” This episode was supposed to recorded months prior to us actually recording it, but many circumstances prevented Zig and I from recording.
“Soul Survivors,” is arguably the most complex college-aged horror film of the 2000’s, and I’ve seen most of them. An-all star cast (before they became massive names), when they were all working on their craft shine in this often looked-over flick. The pod, much like the movie, was all over the place and I was thrilled to have Zig with me to on this journey!

Arguably the best thriller in recent years, 2015’s “The Gift” rocked audiences and certified Joel Edgerton as a serious writer/director. Also, Drew Whitehouse, an old friend of mine hadn’t seen it and was looking for a David Fincher style film. So I brought him on the pod to talk abbot what he thought of it.
Join us as we talk about movies, character development and we reflect on how we were in high school. If you’re not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! -
Magician, cigar aficionado, horror filmmaker.
Billy Chase Goforth is an up-and-coming filmmaker that has been making a lot of noise online with his flick, “Door in the Woods” Billy isn’t just a one trick guy, he has his hands on just about everything and I was glad to have him on the show to talk about his many talents!

In 2003, Dark Castle was almost on its way out. Sadly, they came in with a fiery presence and quietly exited. “Gothic,” which was made hot off of Halle Berry winning her Oscar, and when Robert Downey Jr was doing any movie the was handed to him. With a stellar cast, solid writer, director and cinematographer, has this movie stayed for the test of time? Join friend of the pod, Farmer and I as we do a deep discussion on this film that has been making its way back into the world’s streaming devices.

Nick Roth comes from a filmmaking family and did a “blood oath” to not pursue that path, until he went with his father to China to make one wild crazy flick in 2013 called “Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe”. The movie was a nightmare to shoot, but it jumpstarted Nick’s interested and drove him to become a film professor at Cal State Northridge as an adjunct professor in cinema studies and eventually leading to his own film, “Hanky Panky,” a horror comedy about a man and his napkin friend saving the world from a dark evil in a cabin.

All my life, at least as far back as seeing “Batman” in 1989, some of my favorite memories were spent in theaters. I can still remember the way most of them looked, smelled, the popcorn, soda … I love it! So when the idea of this pod about my favorite times at the theater came up, I immediately thought of Mark from Movies, Films and Flix to talk about his favorite times. Together, we discuss movies, working and so much more!

I was surprised that my last BS episode was a big hit, so I figured I would make another one! This time, I made it a little more focused: My friends and I speak candidly about shock cinema; why I don't have a Netflix account and Farmer tells the story about her first time on a film set.
