If you're looking for a diverse and entertaining horror themed podcast, hopefully you've already found 'Killer POV,' the weekly horror talk show podcast hosted by FEARNET's own Rob Galluzzo, Fangoria's Rebekah McKendry and Inside Horror's Elric Kane. Available on both iTunes and directly from the GeekNation website (who produces the show), the gang recently celebrated their 50th episode (!) and joining in on the celebration was none other than director William Lustig (aka Bill to those that know him well)! Lustig was the man behind the original 'Maniac,' the 'Maniac Cop' franchise, as well as cult classics 'Vilgilante,' 'Hit List,' 'Relentless' and 'Uncle Sam' (currently streaming this week in The Vault with exclusive video commentary by Heidi Honeycutt & Jill Kill), as well as being at the forefront of home video entertainment with his company Blue Underground.
During the lengthy 2 hour chat, we get to hear plenty of stories of Bill's humble beginnings in the industry, how he met actor Joe Spinell, who was originally cast as the detective of 'Maniac,' what went wrong with the 'Maniac Cop' franchise, how he almost directed 'True Romance' (!) and much, much more! We also delve into creating Blue Underground and releasing the early films of Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci. He even drops some exclusive news on upcoming Blue Underground releases. If you're a genre fan, this is worth a listen! You can check it out on iTunes, GeekNation or embedded below. You can now find Killer POV both on the official Killer POV Facebook page and via the official Killer POV Twitter account. Here's to 50 more episodes!
