Co-hosts Jon Fusco, Emily Buder, and yours truly, Liz Nord bring you an episode full of spooky surprises, like a visit from everyone’s favorite creepy documentarian, Werner Herzog. We also discuss our favorite horror flicks, a new direction for the series Jessica Jones, and how Netflix is taking over Hollywood. Tech writer Charles Haine joins us to bring the latest gear news, and as always, we update you on upcoming grant and festival deadlines, this week’s indie film releases, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
