Just Before Dawn (w/ Steve Pasieka)

It’s the summertime, and the weather is hot… and deadly! That’s right, we’re heading deep into the Oregon woods for a little camping, a little foolin’ around, and a lot of grizzly murder as we discuss the 1981 cult classic, JUST BEFORE DAWN, with the help of multimedia artist and Skulk the Hulkling creator, Steve Pasieka!! Along the way, we explore the movie’s survival thriller roots, how director Jeff Lieberman pushed back on the slasher craze of 1981, and Patrick’s dangerous physical media obsession with the movie!! All this, plus E.T. drop-ins, calls to skadoot, timpani drum soundtracks, Sudden Magoo Syndrome, maximum Dirty Peanut, husky ninjas, *deep hurting, fraught rides home, and a penetrating edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Go elbow deep with us on an underappreciated horror gem with us, won't you?
