Episode 236: Zach Passero talks 'The Weird Kidz'
from Adventures in Movies! · host Blake Heath/Nathaniel Muir
It has been a Barbie world for the past few weeks. On our last episode, Blake made a bold prediction. We check up to see how well his comment aged and also go back to a time before “Go Ninja! Go Ninja! GO!” had entered the lexicon to see how well the Ninja Turtles of three decades ago would have fared against Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster.Scary movies and coming of age stories traffic in the familiar. This is not a bad thing. The relatability and comfort they bring is part of what makes them so popular. Zach tells us why he married the two genres and his inspirations for the story. He also shares the process behind making The Weird Kidz and its future.Zach came bearing gifts. He decided to stick around to talk about 1986’s River’s Edge. When Dennis Hooper is the most reasonable adult in the room, you know there are problems. Possibly the darkest teen movie ever, the film explores the lives of a group of friends after one of them commits a shocking act.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
