Legendary Lore: The Island of Doctor Moreau (1996), the power of hubris and witchcraft
Welcome back for another installment of Legendary Lore! This week we explore the madness that took place behind the scenes of the 1996 version of The Island of Doctor Moreau. What do you get when you mix a shy director, his warlock sidekick, sociopathic actor(s), and epic PA antics? A movie worthy of parody for eternity. And since we didn't learn from the Wizard of Oz, let's just go ahead and ban large birds from set?

Welcome back film folks. This week we've got another installment of our Tea Time at the Rumor Mill Series. The theme for this installment is urban legends, (not the 1998 Jared Leto horror film). We've got 3 great urban legends to discuss. Ghost actors, big flightless birds, and lightning strikes. The ending will shock you ;) Enjoy the show! https://www.filmfolklorepodcast.com/ https://www.patreon.com/FilmFolkLorePodcastLegendary Lore: The Wizard of Oz, raining asbestos, and the problematic German little people
Welcome back film folks. We're back with another installment of our Legendary Lore series, this time with The Wizard of Oz under the microscope. We talk lions, and harassment, and asbestos, oh my! We also talk munchkin parties and inter-species equality in the workplace. "There's no place like home" takes on a whole new meaning in this week's episode. Enjoy the show! https://www.filmfolklorepodcast.com/ https://www.patreon.com/FilmFolkLorePodcastWelcome back folks. This week we dig into part 2 of our Rust coverage. We now shift our focus to Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s involvement and the charges against her. We talk rubbers and replicas, sourcing ammo, and protocols, protocols, protocols. Enjoy the show! Disclaimer: This episode was recorded shortly before Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter on 3/6/24.

This week we discuss the 1993 disaster-of-a-production that was Super Mario Bros. How many writers does it take to write a video game movie? (Hint: Maybe it's none?) How many people should be electrocuted on a film set? (Hint: It's also probably none). How NOT to "dirty up" Background actors. And why drinking on the job and rushing things don't mix. All this and more in our second installment of Legendary Lore. Enjoy the show! https://www.filmfolklorepodcast.com/ https://www.patreon.com/FilmFolkLorePodcastStruck Pt. 3: Adam, Actor
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming... Welcome back Adam! He's wearing his actor hat today to talk to us about the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Adam's got some great insight so we had to hold onto him for the double whammy this week. What brought the actor's union to strike last year? What happened during the strikes? And where does the actor's union stand now? We talk residuals in the streaming age, background actors, AI, and much more. Enjoy the show! https://www.filmfolklorepodcast.com/ https://www.patreon.com/FilmFolkLorePodcastWe're back early for a double dip this week! Introducing Adam, here to share his wealth of knowledge on the casting department. We talk reading the room, casting during covid, background actor breakdown, and a special surprise return guest.
