adams family

PUBLIC VERSION. The Adams Family of filmmakers - John Adams, Zelda Adams, and Toby Poser (HELLBENDER, WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS, THE DEEPER YOU DIG) join Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss their journey as a filmmaking family! From making the decision to stop waiting for permission and start making films on their own… to the importance of practice and why trial and error is crucial if you’re going to learn how to do it yourself… to how they create their films in a way that makes the production possible to pull off WELL within their limited resources… to how they have been able to create professional, theatrical quality films with extremely low budgets (fancy sausage is the key!)… to the making of their latest feature WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS… this conversation puts the value in family values! 

Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a filmmaker having trouble letting go of a finished project and moving on to the next, the Adams Family shares why they are proud to be longtime MOVIE CRYPT Patreon members (we didn’t pay them to say it- really!), and the boys gear up for YORKIETHON 8 next weekend (12/8 - 12/10) on www.ArieScope.com!

A lonely teenager and her mother live a secluded life in the woods.  The more the teen uncovers about her family the more likely it seems she comes from a long line of witches.

On this week’s episode…

Join the crew as we discuss metal matriarchs, doing witchy things in the woods, and the Adams family’s low budget banger, Hellbender (2022).

Joe Ferry joins Caitlin to discuss 2022's Hellbender, a folk horror favorite that explores witchcraft, shifting power dynamics, and control. It's got beats of both monstrous menstruation and monstrous motherhood, and in general it's a very Plug It Up movie. We do say the word "flesh hole" a few times, so beware. Tangents include: salamanders, ice shapes, track suits, cereal, and miscellaneous witchery. Be sure to check out Joe's podcasts Films at First Sight and No Film Left Behind, and find his writing at Bloody Good Horror and The Wicked Wild.
