You're traveling through another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of accidents, oversight, and aftermaths. A journey into a shadowy land of broken protocol and (hard?)-learned lessons. You just crossed into... The Film Folk Lore Zone. In Part 2 of our Season 2 finale, we conclude our deep dive into the Twilight Zone: The Movie tragedy—one of the most infamous safety failures in Hollywood history. We finish unpacking how it changed the industry, what went wrong, and what it still teaches us today. Enjoy the show!

And don't go too far folks. We'll be back soon for our summer miniseries and Season 3 in the fall. Catch up on past episodes until then!

There is a fifth dimension, beyond which that is known to man. A dimension where safety is an afterthought and senseless production methods run rampant. It is a place we call Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). And this is the Film Folk Lore Podcast Season 2 finale! (Pt.1) This week we explore the sci-fi film's production disaster that resulted in the deaths of actor Vic Morrow and 2 illegally hired child actors. Another reminder that safety is paramount. Enjoy the show.

Howdy film folks! Saddle up for another installment of Safety on Set this week as we explore Michael Cimino's (probably self-proclaimed masterpiece) Heaven's Gate. Don't worry, we don't have twenty minutes of intro music just for this episode, as much as we wanted to do that. We discover a possible cause for the fall of United Artists. Heather Rae names the current era of Hollywood we're in. And when are we going to learn that barring the AHA from set is huge red flag? Enjoy the show!
