  1. Jason: A truly remarkable job of editing. You took what could have been a disaster and turned it into something wonderful! While it's a shame most of what Andy and Karl wasn't salvageable (you guys had some great comments throughout the show), you still managed to make it a great listen.

    One thing I wanted to correct (a mistake I made because I was talking too fast): MATINEE is NOT a 1933 film. Seeing as I said it was directed by Joe Dante and starred John Goodman, that would have been quite a trick! What I meant to say was it's a 1993 film. Also, at one point I said API when I meant AIP (as in American International Productions). I may have more mistakes in there, but right now I'm only 1/2 way through the show. If so, I'll correct them here.

    Thanks so much for the opportunity to come on the show and talk about extreme cinema. I had a great time!

    Dave (Dr. Shock)
