Episode 33, Nov 18, 2020, 12:00 PM
The Bad Batch and A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night director Ana Lily Amirpour joins Vespe and Wampler to revisit the stony grounds of Stephen King's Pet Sematary. Come for talk of the existential dread of every living being's slowly approaching death, stay for the hatching of a new kind of elderly care facility that pumps its residents full of psychedelics.
The boys are joined by director Ana Lily Amirpour to discuss how important King's Pet Sematary is in helping the reader cope with the act of dying. Lily shares her childhood trauma of finding a roadkill cat and trying to nurse it back to life with some milk and a fancy tablecloth as well as some stories from her time working on the King-centric Castle Rock series and even shares a little bit about her upcoming projects, the already filmed Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon and the to-be-filmed re-imagining of the Sly Stallone action vehicle Cliffhanger.
