On today's episode, I have writer/director Steven LaMorte and producer/actress Amy Schumacher from the new horror/comedy, "Screamboat"!
On January 1, 2024 the beloved Steamboat Willie became public domain, and Steven and Amy knew exactly what they were going to do when the clock struck midnight, turn it into a horror film! I was shocked at just how fast this was announced after the property became public, but Steve and Amy already had a plan in the works! After watching the movie this past week, I can say firsthand, it paid off.
I talked with Steven and Amy about how they managed to turn the film around so quickly, finding the balance between being true to the Willie character while also making him a killing maniac, bringing Amy's character in the film to life, the hidden Disney homages, favorite scenes to film, and so much more!
A huge Thank You to Steven and Amy for taking the time to join me on this episode to talk all things "Screamboat". Please get out and see the film as it hits theaters THIS WEDNESDAY, April 2nd. Support independent horror in theaters so fun movies like "Screamboat" can continue to be made. If you're in Burbank, join the cast and filmmakers on April 2nd at the AMC Burbank 16 for two Q&A's after the 7PM and 9PM screenings. Tickets are almost Sold Out, so get them while you can!

Thanks, Steven and Amy!
Enjoy the episode!
