Better Than the Movie 29: LORD OF ILLUSIONS / THE LAST ILLUSION w/ Garon Cockrell

from Skylight Books Podcast Series · host Skylight Books

It's the end of an era - or a trilogy - or something. Author and podcaster Garon Cockrell (Demonic and Other Tales) returns for his third guest appearance on BTTM to talk Clive Barker! This crew previously reviewed Nightbreed (BTTM episode 11) and Hellraiser (BTTM 22), so there's only one last feature film where Barker adapted himself: 1995's Lord of Illusions, based on the novella The Last Illusion (from the same collection that contains Nightbreed's source: Cabal). It's an opportunity for another raucous, silly discussion that is just good, clean, macabre fun. Check out the "Better Than the Movie" audiobook playlist on Libro.fm - https://libro.fm/playlists/skylight-better-than-the-movie Hosted by Allan Traylor, Tyler Austin, and Justin Remer.  Produced by Justin Remer.  Recorded remotely via Zencastr.  Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire  Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band
