S3E35: Beetlejuice Plus Crypt Keeper Equals Larry Wilson
When Gil Adler and I took over HBO's iconic TALES FROM THE CRYPT at the start of its third season, one of our tasks was to reignite the series - or see it get cancelled. Crypt was a strange, hybrid creature. Today, talent moves easily from film projects to streaming TV projects and back. That didn't happen in the mid-1990's, when we made Crypt.

Back It Up Or It’s Bullshit
Nine years into the Donald Trump Era of American politics and our news media still can't handle him. To this very instant, he handles them! A few journalists have always understood how to shut down sociopathic bullshit artists like Trump, but the overwhelming majority of journalists working here in America refuse to take notes and learn. Instead, not only do they accommodate bullshit, they give it the same credence they give truth.

White Mediocrity Vs Everyone Else
Wanna know what we're experiencing? It's a grudge match, plain and simple - between white mediocrity and everyone else. How else to describe "Jews will not replace us"? The first time I heard that, I thought "why are you so afraid of being replaced? Replaced how? In what way?" Can I be honest? I've never thought of myself as "replace-able". Yeah, sure - I've held countless jobs where I was one hundred percent replaceable.

Dear Joe Biden: Your Age Is Not The Problem Here. New Rules Are
Joe Biden needs to step down now. Right now. And I write that as a person who absolutely believes that in 2020 - and up until this moment - Joe was the perfect person for the moment. But the moment changed. The Supreme Court changed it when they gave the POTUS extraordinary - and extra-Constitutional - power. They put it down in literal black and white.

The idea seemed so natural. Get WILLIAM FRIEDKIN - director of "THE EXORCIST" - to direct an episode of our little horror anthology TV show - "TALES FROM THE CRYPT". It just so happened that RICHARD DONNER - director of another great contemporary horror classic, THE OMEN - was one of our illustrious executive producers. It made hiring Friedkin a no-brainer to us.

Frankly, anyone with a D next to their name should be good enough. It ain't the person that matters, it's the policies they get hired to make happen.
But, now the rules have changed. The Supreme Court did that and Democrats need to stop denying the New Rules and instead play by them - especially since the first American King since George II is now Joe Biden.
But is Biden willing to play by the new rules. If he's not, then regardless of his age, for THAT reason, he needs to step aside and let a prosecutor have at it.

Gosh, I wonder what Joe Biden will do now that HIS executive powers have been expanded by the SCOTUS. Does this mean that Biden can now stop Trump from ever taking power, too?

Hey, Merrick Garland - so, the corrupt SCOTUS won't let you prosecute Donald Trump for trying to overthrow the govt? Fine - then prosecute EVERYONE ELSE who you've left alone so far.
Prosecute every last one of the middle people. The Roger Stones. The elected members of Congress who actively co-conspired. Prosecute THE MONEY that paid for the insurrection.
Leave no one else standing who participated.
And, Joe Biden - after you defeat Trump in November, REPLACE MERRICK GARLAND with someone less accepting of Republican corruption as "just political".

Conservatives Prove Again And Again: They’re All “C-Words”
As Niki Haley proved last night, conservatives in America are all "c-words" starting with COWARDS and CORRUPT. Two weeks ago, Nikki was huddling with her homies (her donors), insisting that Donald Trump was "unqualified".

S3E22: The Reluctant Vampire Speaks!
Let's revisit our friend "The Reluctant Vampire". MALCOLM MCDOWELL. When I was a kid, just beginning to acquire a “taste for cinema”, one of the first movies that gave me that taste was STANLEY KUBRICK’s “A CLOCKWORK ORANGE”.

Do You REALLY Know Who You Are?
I just dropped a new podcast/website that 1) I'm really excited about and 2) I think you'll really enjoy! It's called "THE DONOR: A Modern Horror Story" and it's a COMPLETELY TRUE STORY about a friend of mine named Hal. The Donor In the mid 1980's Hal earned his way through medical school as an anonymous SPERM DONOR. To him, it was entirely transactional.

S3E21: The Donor – A Modern HORROR Story
This very definitely is a "special episode" of the How NOT to Make A Movie Podcast. In the TV business, calling things “Special” has a long, rich history.
