The Matt and Mark Movie Show
Episode 30: George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park (Guests: Matt McCarthy & Katherine Cox from Combs Crew)
Mark is missing in action, so I invited my friends and fellow podcasters to join me for a full-on horror episode this week... give a warm welcome to Matt McCarthy & Katherine Cox from the Combs Crew podcast!
They're here to help me do a deep dive on the "lost" George A. Romero film, The Amusement Park, a surrealist nightmare of movie about elder abuse that (spoiler!) we all absolutely adored and want to shout from the rooftops. Speaking of elder abuse, we also discuss Harrison Ford getting injured on the set of Indiana Jones 5, react to the new Candyman trailer, and discover the motorcycle machismo of another Romero film, KNIGHTRIDERS.
My thanks to Matt & Katherine for joining me for this episode.
