Jim Beckholt SF13 E29

Sometimes good things are homegrown. On tonight’s show, Wes and co-host BIlly Crank welcome fellow Kentuckian Jim Beckholt, local actor/impressionist known for doing one of the best ACE VENTURA impersonations that you’ll ever see.

Wes and Billy ask about Jim’s many experiences filming the horror movie CANDY CORN and the mind set that Jim had portraying a character so far from his typical comedic persona. Along the way Jim also discusses his future acting direction, influences, and who his dream co-star would be.

In-between the interview, FakeShemp gives us a unique zombie film, Joe Lewis takes on HP Lovecraft, and the Week in Horror is chalk full of historic goodness. Plus we see the entries in the BLAIR WITCH apology contest. Roll that beautiful found footage!

The big question is, when will Wes roll out his Monty Python-esk Lady impression? We hope it’s soon!

The offerings range from the movies of the late Stuart Gordon (RE-ANIMATOR, CASTLE FREAK) to the Netflix film THE PLATFORM to the classic films of days gone by. Along the way the gang discusses the length of movies today, foreign films, and we learn that CC doesn’t have Netflix (the horror!!)

We also get a few more celebrity announcements this week. No spoilers but the Hills will definitely have Eyes at Scarefest this year and a certain empress of the Scream Queens will make an appearance.

Trailer Nation makes a final appearance as well as reviews by Joe Lewis and Glenn Cochrane. Glenn’s offering this week may have even influenced Tobe Hooper’s seminal masterpiece THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. Those Aussie’s are so ahead of the curve.
