This week we chat with Julia Max about her debut feature film The Surrender, starring Colby Minifie and Kate Burton! We discuss the very personal inspiration for the movie, working with fantastic actors and tackling grief before hearing about how Return to Oz terrified her as a kid and Death Becomes Her created a fan for life. Iconic performances, Broadway musicals, queer text and Zemeckis' fantastic direction are discussed as well as our memories of the first time watching it.

Also, check out the episode we did with Julia's husband! It's Episode 248: Woman of the Hour Screenwriter Ian McDonald and Se7en (1995).

You can follow Julia on Instagram and you can also get updates on The Surrender on Instagram, as well. And make sure to check out The Surrender when it hits Shudder on May 23rd!
