What do conspiracy theories, viral folklore, and The Blair Witch Project have in common? The power to make people question what’s real.

Actor, writer, and director Michael Perry Jr. joins host Bruce Marvel to talk about his new comedy mockumentary, The Conspiracists. The conversation spirals into first-time memories of seeing The Blair Witch Project, the paranoia and viral mystery that made it a cultural phenomenon, and the unforgettable horror films that stuck with them long after the credits rolled.

From found footage fear to conspiracy-fueled comedy, this episode dives into how horror, myth, and storytelling blur the line between what’s real and what we want to believe.

Writer and educator Dan Richmond joins the host with the most, Bruce Marvel, for a deep dive into the bloodline between horror and heavy music. From shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper to the horror-punk legacy of Misfits, they explore how the macabre shaped the sound of metal.

The conversation cranks up talking about the gnarly band GWAR, plus a rundown of their favorite heavy tracks and unforgettable horror soundtracks.

If you like your riffs loud and your horror louder—this one’s for you.

Warning: This episode gets extra greasy. Host Bruce Marvel welcomes Michael St. Michaels – the unforgettable star of the Greasy Strangler – for a wild and wonderfully weird conversation about cult horror. Michael shared stories from the set, talks about working in film while reflecting on his acting journey, and even shows off one of the outrageous practical skin effects used in the film. If you love indie horror comedy, cult classics, and behind-the-scenes movie magic … this one's for you. Get greasy with us. 🛢️
