Film Freaks Forever!

In the latest Film Freaks Forever! episode, Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton throw a net over the whole "When Animals Attack" genre, which really took off during the anti-pollution/ecology movements of the 1970s. It's a fascinating, frightening and unintentionally funny genre and your loyal Film Freaks guide you through scary swamps, treacherous mountains, and basically anywhere outdoors where this genre warns you that all animals want to kill you! From the early days of Hitchcock's 1963 “The Birds” all the way through the gritty ‘70s and even into the dark 1980s, the Film Freaks discuss some real obscure gems that star so many Oscar winners, up-and-comers, and legendary character actors, your head will spin. Everyone from Henry Fonda to Olivia de Havilland to Michael Caine to Leslie Nielsen to a Sam Elliott so young he doesn't even have a mustache yet! Everything from killer bees to giant snakes to bullfrogs to hawks to drug-crazed tigers are part of the fun discussion, so come join us, vulnerable human!

Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” to the truly insane and enjoyable “The Apple” (where Satan himself runs the music industry) to “The Pirate Movie,” where Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins butcher soft rock ballads in between Gilbert & Sullivan numbers. So prepare your minds and your ears to hear

A long time ago, two like-minded writers (Phoef Sutton and Mark Jordan Legan) met in college, discovered they were both "film freaks" and a lifelong friendship was born. While both having successful careers in television & film, they made sure that they get together every weekend and devour all the strange & bizarre cinema that is out there - biker flicks, goofy monster movies, Filipino jungle adventures, Turkish sci-fi rip-offs, you name it, they've probably seen it. Plus they have always kept a record of what they have watched and this journal lists them all—in order—and it covers decades. This podcast will allow them to shine a light on certain genres and subgenres of film—and point listeners in the right direction to discover fun, freaky, fabulous, and offbeat "gems" of cinema.  Follow the Film Freaks on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Writer's Bone.
