186: Convention Insanity

Movie Meltdown - Episode 186 This episode is not for the weak or faint-hearted (and also probably not a good starter episode). This week we culminate all of the convention and film fest trips of the last two months with one full episode of crazy convention talk. That's right, "live" insanity from the floor of Fright Night/FandomFest. With returning special guest co-hosts Rose Sirna and Scooter Downey. Plus we feature an interview with Kristina Klebe from “Rob Zombie’s Halloween” and director of the short “As Human as Animal". And a surprise “blast from the past appearance” that old-school Movie Meltdown listeners will appreciate.   I’ve spent a lot of time at conventions and this was one of the craziest, most entertaining days I’ve ever experienced. Forgive the usual convention noise, and come with us on this weird and erratic ride through a not-so-standard day at a movie geek convention.  And while trying to figure out “what happened to your teddy bear??”, we also discuss Vernon Wells, Bowling for Boobies, shaving your head, Noah, Nikki Sixx’s brother, horny deers, Lars von Trier babysitting, I wanna see Angelina, hooking up with animals, Ghostbuster Battle Royale, Rice Krispie Treats and Sid Haig, we’re countercultural within the subculture of the counterculture, waiting for 40 minutes to see someone, idealized bunnies, Michael Haneke, Giada de Laurentiis, Proxy, Kane Hodder, The Little Mermaid, Bill Murray, It, The Skin I Live In, a squirrel on a jet-ski, the couch only takes one person at a time, a chastity belt and a fence around me and flowers... and butterflies, I never watched horror movies, just the people watching ...here, I think you could have at least a 12 hour show, Bella Kiss, elephants... the most deadly animal, having a Napoleon complex, you make me feel like more of an awful person then I already am, Danzig in the dryer, no Walburg as a teacher and no genital mutilation, A Nightmare on Elm Street, watching your friends get slaughtered, Virtuosity, open mouth is dangerous, Rose is... Movie Meltdown’s Disney Princess, who’s John Carpenter?!, having a bathroom guard, one of those girls that’s into horses, a stain on the body cinematic, the corset and mom jeans combo, slutty Chuckie, the couch only takes one person at a time, getting asked for your first autograph, super A.D.D.!, smelling organs, Tomb Raider, afterbirth,  being a hand model, for every dollar you get... we shoot an animal, Space Jam, never watched TV, disco witch, and - it’s not crying - it’s juicy!Spoiler Alerts: Extremely random spoilers for “Bambi”, “Stephen King’s It”, “The Godfather” and “It’s in the Blood”. You have been warned. “Having a conversation with you is like playing handball against a wacky, rubbery substance. You have no idea where it’s going to go.” To keep up with actress Kristina Klebe, follow her on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/KristinaKlebe For more on Scooter and Rose's movie, go to: http://www.itsinthebloodthemovie.com/
