Nick D – Don Coscarelli, Paul Pepperman and A Very Greasy Strangler
About this episode
Nick sits down with filmmaker Don Coscarelli and producer Paul Pepperman to revisit cult favorites The Beastmaster and Phantasm, ahead of their Music Box Theatre screenings in Chicago. They share behind-the-scenes tales from the wild world of 70s independent filmmaking, including ferret-related chaos, tricky actors, and how they somehow snagged a PG rating despite nudity.
Later, Esmeralda Leon drops by for a lighter turn, bringing along some cosmic trivia, reflections on Nick’s 60th birthday, and highlights from a recent Texas getaway. But things really go off the rails when she launches into a passionate retelling of The Greasy Strangler—a movie so bizarre, it may have broken her brain.
From indie classics to absurd oddities, this one covers it all. [Ep 365]
