Film Freaks Forever!

For Halloween, your fellow Film Freaks approach the cauldron with some wolf's bane, an eye of newt (so yummy) and some of the best witch movies ever!

Phoef and Mark take you through the beginnings of the genre and then discuss six films about witches that they love and enjoy watching over and over. So grab your broom, your black cat, pull up a large toadstool, and listen in as the Film Freaks shine a full moon on their top picks. Everyone from Veronica Lake to Christopher Lee to Anjelica Huston to Richard Matheson to Paul Frees are part of the brew!

Happy Halloween from Film Freaks Forever!

Phoef Sutton and Mark Jordan Legan, your Film Freaks have the honor of sitting down and interviewing the terrific writing team of Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (“Ed Wood,” “The People v. Larry Flynt,” “Man on the Moon,” “1408,” “The People v. O.J. Simpson,” “Dolemite Is My Name,” etc.).

Scott and Larry are also true Film Freaks and we hope you enjoy this free-wheeling, fun, fascinating discussion where they discuss how they met as college freshmen at USC. The four of us share weird and wild cinema and pop culture trivia—everyone from Mel Brooks to Dom DeLuise to Kaypro computers to Anthony Quinn to Frank Sinatra to John Wayne to Dabney Coleman to Milos Forman to Midnight Spook Shows to regional filmmakers like Charles B. Pierce to Billy Jack are discussed and debated.

A long time ago, two like-minded writers (Phoef Sutton and Mark Jordan Legan) met in college, discovered they were both "film freaks" and a lifelong friendship was born. While both having successful careers in television & film, they made sure that they get together every weekend and devour all the strange & bizarre cinema that is out there - biker flicks, goofy monster movies, Filipino jungle adventures, Turkish sci-fi rip-offs, you name it, they've probably seen it. Plus they have always kept a record of what they have watched and this journal lists them all—in order—and it covers decades.

This podcast will allow them to shine a light on certain genres and subgenres of film—and point listeners in the right direction to discover fun, freaky, fabulous, and offbeat "gems" of cinema.

In the latest edition of every cinephile's favorite podcast, the Film Freaks march you to four of the best World War II films out there—four terrific, yet rather underrated war movies. There are so many famous ones out there, but your hosts, Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton will shine a light on some gritty, muddy, bloody, exciting pieces of cinema that deserve bigger audiences and admirers.

Brilliant directors like William Wellman,(“Battleground”), Robert Aldrich (“Attack”), and John Frankenheimer (“The Train”) helmed some of the combat flicks we will examine. And actor/director Stuart Cooper's passion project “Overlord” from 1975 is the hidden gem the Film Freaks are proud to highlight.

So hunker down, open some K-rations, and enjoy your hosts discussing these marvelous movies that star and feature superb actors like Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Jack Palance, James Whitmore, Paul Scofield, Eddie Albert, and many more.
