Talks From The Crypt

This was a fun one. Joe Lynch is someone I’ve had the pleasure of becoming good friends with since our last Vegas soirée a couple months back, and man, this guy’s encyclopedic knowledge of film and horror is unreal. We get into the highs and lows of directing, the reality of getting movies made, all of his films, BUZZKILL + MEATPAW, and more. This could’ve easily gone another 3 hours. OUT NOW! #pornstache Watch: youtu.be/b8wOc0u4yPM

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

@TFTCryptPodcast Follow back lol Tripped me up the first time, too lol. But I'm considered a "geriatric Millennial," so I can excuse it. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Decision has been made. Talks From The Crypt will be moving to LA. The studio will be at The Mystic Museum. Will film the build process of the new studio to put up on YouTube.

@Chris_M_Author Of course! Also, what’s FB lol? Facebook?!

@TFTCryptPodcast I'm along for the whole ride. I only ask one thing... a FB! Well, or if you're desperate to book a slot in the most desperate of desperate desperate circumstances, gimme a call! 🤣 🤣 🤣 But I'm riding with y'all!

I realize there are critics & influencers who still take the duties seriously, but if you're posting your glowing praise for a movie out of its event you were wined & dined at, I'm not sure that means much. Be loyal to your readers/followers. Not the films. Not the studios.

LIFE/SHOW UPDATE: Toward the end of this year, we’ll be packing up in Vegas and heading out to LA. The only thing we’re waiting on is confirmation on a potential studio space. We’re fully willing to downsize our personal lives to make the move work, but not the studio. If everything comes together with the location, the show will take a 1–3 month hiatus while we rebuild. Trying to stack up an archive prior so we can release episodes during it all. But you never know with these guests lol.

“Our literature as a whole at times seems a chamber of horrors disguised as an amusement park ‘fun house’ where we pay to play at terror and are confronted in the innermost chamber with a series of inter-reflecting mirrors which present us with a thousand versions of our own face.” — Leslie Fiedler Love and Death in the American Novel

Peter Dinklage urges the indie film world to “stop saying how hard it is out there” to avoid discouraging young filmmakers. “Let’s not put up any walls,” he tells Variety at the “Wicker” @sundanceorg premiere.

Having a podcast in 2026

I do feel bad for my eraserhead baby pipe sometimes. His existence is torture.

How many times are we going to report this?

Sorry @SceneinCinema unfortunately you are misinformed. We shot the hair shaved off scenes first. But thanks for talking anything Kubrick.

This is one of my favourite episodes to date. For anyone that's a Joe Lynch fan and/or an independent filmmaker, this is a must watch/listen. 2025 has been a tough year creatively and this is the shot in the arm I needed.
