A Conversation with Robert Englund

A Conversation with Robert Englund

Author: Stevie Webb June 26, 2023 Duration: 38:46

Welcome back, Rotters!

We're kicking off season 4 with a BANG. Or should that be a SLASH?

I had the privilege to sit down with my childhood hero and horror icon - ROBERT ENGLUND.

In this intro episode, we discuss his wildly extensive career including working with Roger Corman on Galaxy of Terror, his directorial debut 976-EVIL and of course, the Freddy Kruger effect.

It was such an honour and a lifelong dream come true. I even asked him for his Elm Street rankings 🤔 

Feels good to be back, don't it?

Hosted by Stevie Webb, Brain Rot-An 80s Horror Podcast is a celebration of cinematic schlock and video store nostalgia. This isn't about the pristine classics; it's a dedicated excavation of those wonderfully weird, low-budget horror flicks from the 1980s and 1990s that achieve a peculiar kind of perfection through their flaws. Stevie, self-styled as your VHS Veteran, serves as guide through this curated trash heap, bringing a distinct blend of film history and genuine affection to every review. The real charm of the podcast emerges from the guest dynamic, where Stevie is joined by a rotating cast of enthusiasts, from seasoned genre experts to curious newcomers, all united by a love for the bizarre. Together, they dissect these B-movie bangers, unpacking their practical effects, questionable plots, and enduring cultural footprints with equal parts humor and analysis. You'll hear detailed breakdowns of specific films, conversations about the era's filmmaking trends, and personal anecdotes tied to the experience of discovering these gems. It's a specific, communal deep-dive for anyone who finds joy in the sticky floors of a bygone video rental era and the singular magic of a movie that is, gloriously, so bad it's good. Tune in for a consistently entertaining mix of critical review and unapologematic fandom, all focused on the films that truly deserve a cult following.
