Afraid of Catching up with Cuyle Carvin

WATCH ON YOUTUBE. Sometimes you just gotta reconnect with old friends at the holidays. This episode I talk shop with sometimes co-host, new Dad, and your favorite actor, Cuyle Carvin.

Afraid of The Blair Witch Project with Michael C. Williams

It's been nearly 30 years since The Blair Witch Project (1999) terrorized film audiences with the inaugural "found footage" film. The film's logline: Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind. The Blair Witch Project was heavily marketed as a true story, employing a unique viral marketing campaign to blur the lines between fiction and reality. This strategy included a fake do...

Afraid of Stanley Kubrick, AI, Alchemy, MK Ultra, and Our Spiritual Destiny

Bucket list for tonight's show -- our guest is Jay Weidner, a filmmaker, author and scholar known for (among many things) his 3-part docuseries "Kubrick's Odyssey" as well as his appearance in Rodney Ascher's "Room 237". The final film in the Kubrick Odyssey Trilogy is A Clockwork Shining, which can be seen on Tubi and Prime Video, and posits an interesting theory: the film is not a horror film at all, but rather a story about the infamous CIA MK Ultra mind control experiments. 99% of the world's population asks questions; but it is that rare 1% that searches and finds answers. I have followed Jay's tenacity in uncovering life's mysteries for over a decade, and have my "eyes wide opened". I recommend you check out his website, books, and film work -- it literally could blow your mind.

Angela Relucio, who plays Margot, a real estate broker looking to make a quick buck on the abandoned spinach canning factory. Sarah Nicklin, who plays drug addict Adrienne. Sarah's character flees from drug dealers to hide in the factory -- a really bad choice. Sean Michael Conway, who plays Dexter, a wannabe documentary filmmaker. Will this film be his last?
