Episode 17 - Producer & Director, Steven LaMorte

In this episode, Mike sits down with award-winning filmmaker Steven LaMorte to talk about his horror parodies The Mean One and Screamboat, starring David Howard Thornton. With a few epic pours of Heaven Hill Distillery in hand, they dive into Steven’s early storytelling roots, his jump from working with Sony and WWE into horror, and how he balances camp, gore, and humor on screen. They also dig into the “party watch” appeal of his films, the value of practical effects, and the twisted fun of giving childhood classics a sinister edge without losing the magic. Expect plenty of drinks, laughs, and stories about Steven’s Nonna’s legendary Italian cooking. Oh yeah, Screamboat is now streaming on Peacock!   Check out: @stevenlamorte   and: @screamboatmovie       Subscribe to: Whiskey Morgue YouTube Follow: @whiskeymorgue Check out the merch: www.whiskeymorgue.com           #screamboat #themeanone #stevenlamorte #fuzzonthelens #indiehorror #director #Davidhowardthorton #heavenhill #heavenhilldistillery #whiskeyreview #podcastinterview #horrorpodcast #whiskeypodcast
