Talk Is Jericho

Horror legend Greg Nicotero is LIVE at Spooky Empire with Chris Jericho! Greg talks growing up as a monster-obsessed kid hanging around Tom Savini and George A. Romero, landing his first real job on Day of the Dead, and the massive fork-in-the-road decision that led him to choose Evil Dead 2 over Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 — and helped launch KNB! He breaks down what really happened behind the scenes of Evil Dead 2, how slapstick chaos met extreme horror, and why that movie still inspires filmmakers today. Greg also shares incredible stories from working with Quentin Tarantino on Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained, explains why Tarantino lets your imagination do the damage, and reveals the on-set philosophy that made him one of the most trusted collaborators in Hollywood. And of course, it’s zombies: Greg talks creating the iconic Walking Dead look, transitioning from effects to directing major episodes, the emotional toll of the Negan lineup, and the one zombie effect that helped put the entire series on the map! Plus, Greg’s thoughts on The Mist ending that still divides fans!

Executive producers Evan Husney and Jason Eisener return to talk about their new Hulu docu-series Into The Void: Life, Death & Heavy Metal, and how it almost didn’t happen. They explain why the idea for the show actually predates Dark Side of the Ring, how they pitched Hulu on telling very human stories inside the world of metal, and why they wanted to move away from the tired sex-drugs-and-rock clichés. Evan and Jason break down the intense process of landing Sharon Osbourne for the Randy Rhoads episode just days before Ozzy’s final show, the emotional weight of revisiting Randy’s death, and why hearing from the people who were actually there changes everything. They talk about building trust with Rita Haney for the Dimebag Darrell episode, bringing Rita and Phil Anselmo together for the first time in years, and how that interview sparked healing inside the Pantera family. They also discuss the “Godfather of Death Metal” Chuck Schuldiner episode that set the tone for the series, the challenges of telling Wendy O. Williams’ story on her terms, Anne Boleyn’s battle to survive the Sunset Strip scene, and metal musicians being imprisoned in Iran for their lyrics. Plus, Evan and Jason explain their fight for music rights, what stories shocked them the most, and whether Into The Void could return for a second season.

Ring in the New Year with blood, bodies, and bad decisions as Darcy the Mail Girl from The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs breaks down the wild, weird, and way-too-small subgenre of New Year’s Eve horror movies! Darcy explains why New Year’s Evil is the undisputed king of NYE slashers, what makes Terror Train such a strange Jamie Lee Curtis classic, and why you shouldn’t sleep on (pun intended) Bloody New Year! They talk killer DJs, murders across time zones, creepy masks, train slashers, haunted hotels frozen in time, revenge pranks gone wrong, and the bizarre logic behind what does, and does NOT, count as “New Year’s horror”! (Christine? Ghostbusters II? Gremlins?) Plus, why so many holiday horror movies have disappeared from streaming, why physical media still matters, and Darcy’s ultimate New Year’s Eve horror watchlist if you’re staying in and counting down to midnight at home!

PJ Farley and the Pod of Thunder crew (Andy, Nick, and the mysterious Chris L) return for the most unhinged holiday watchalong yet as they hit PLAY on the Captain & Tennille Christmas Special that originally aired on ABC in December of 1976! What follows is a full-on descent into network TV madness featuring Don Knotts chain-smoking his way through an airplane sketch, Tom Bosley (aka Howard Cunningham from Happy Days) siting through his contributions to the show, the Pointer Sisters bringing the little energy that existed, and The Captain (aka Daryl Dragon) looking like the most miserable man ever trapped behind a camera (or a piano for that matter). The guys break down the baffling guest list, the nonstop ballads, the total lack of Christmas spirit, and the awkward 70s variety-show chaos – all in real time. It’s uncomfortable, confusing, unintentionally hilarious, and possibly the least joyful holiday special ever made!

Actress and musician Tia Carrere shares stories about the role that changed her life - Cassandra in Wayne’s World! She explains how Mike Myers personally told her she was his pick, how she learned to play bass and sing like Pat Benatar for the movie, and why the soundtrack became such a massive part of the film’s success.
