Everyone has a dark side. Two years ago we were trick or treated to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. In 2025, it's Popeye's turn to flex his evil persona.
Tonight's guests are filmmakers Cuyle Carvin (also our esteemed co-host), Robert Ryan, Alexander Tucker, and Nathan Todaro who -- along with producer Jeff Miller -- have reimagined Popeye in their new blood-crusted horror entry: Popeye the Slayer Man.
Popeye the Slayer Man
Logline: A curious group of friends sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory to investigate the legend of the "Sailor Man," who is said to haunt the factory and local docks.
Release Date: Spring 2025
The Filmmakers
*Boneheaded host mistake: Cuyle is in the Netflix series "Zero Day", not Zero Gravity as I said in the opening.
