Episode 34 is a wild one—we're joined by indie horror director Gare Scare, known for Bad People Doing Bad Things (distributed by Troma) and his latest genre-blending monster flick Hishkenstein: After Dark. Alongside him is Alex Akira, the actor behind the film’s titular villain, bringing insight into the madness behind the monster.
We dive into the chaos of low-budget filmmaking, working with Troma, and what it takes to make something truly original in today’s horror landscape. Expect weird stories, behind-the-scenes details, and a whole lot of love for the grotesque and the absurd.
If you’re into practical effects, midnight movies, and the beauty of cinematic weirdness—this episode is for you.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?
