About this episode
Get ready for Arwen to "swallow your soul" (and all of your spaghetti) as legendary make-up FX artist Mark Shostrom (EVIL DEAD 2, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2 & 3, PHANTASM 2, PRINCE OF DARKNESS and so many more) discusses his craft with Adam and Joe. From the films that inspired Mark to pursue a career in special make-up effects… to behind the scenes anecdotes from films like FROM BEYOND, DICK TRACY, and THE MUTILATOR… to what it was like never having a single day off during the heyday of practical make-up FX in the 80's… to striking the right balance between practical and digital effects on screen, the guys fully geek out over their love of creatures and illusions in this conversation with one of their cinematic heroes! Dr. Arwen provides emotional support and advice for a filmmaker suffering from anxiety and Joe opens up about the passing of his father as he helps Adam prepare to fly home to Boston and say goodbye to his grandmother in this sincerely heartfelt episode.
