The Hollywood Reporter said that MEATHEAD GOES HOG WILD is "A
psycho-breakdown flick that goes full-tilt violent without losing
its odd, almost endearing underlying friendliness." Which is a
great summation of this thought-provoking dark comedy that is
somewhat inspired by one of my favorite movies AFTER HOURS. One of
its creators, Sean Pierce has been on the show twice before as a
guest for the Wim Wenders and Rainer Werner Fassbinder episodes.
Along with Zach and Kevin, they each played a significant role in
putting together an urban monster movie of sorts that's sometimes
funny, sometimes disturbing, but consistently entertaining.
Now that this very good film was just released on DVD and available
on Amazon Prime, I figured it was a good time to catch up with this
talented trio about the making of MEATHEAD, which if you look in
the closing credits, you'll see my name as well as the name of this
show! A lot of interesting topics emerge in addition to the
filmmaking process, such as white privilege, mass shootings, as
well as what it was like watching this film with an audience at the
Fantasia Film Festival. Even if you've yet to see this film,
and you should, this was a blast to record with three great guests
supplying enlightening stories throughout.
