About this episode
In this special Spooktacular commission from Emmett, the guys dive deep into Tim Burton's 1994 biopic, Ed Wood . Starring Johnny Depp in one of his most beloved roles and Martin Landau in an Oscar-winning turn as Bela Lugosi, the film explores the life of the eccentric B-movie director often labeled the "worst" filmmaker in history. Does Burton's loving tribute to cinematic failure still hold up, or is it merely high-quality camp? Gene and Big D discuss: The genius of Martin Landau's portrayal of a faded horror icon. The film's beautiful black-and-white aesthetic. Whether Ed Wood was a visionary or just delightfully incompetent. The surprising connections this film has to another movie in our "double-decker Halloween commission." Tune in to find out if the story of the man behind Plan 9 from Outer Space is truly a glorious cinematic triumph!
