Ep813: Onur Unbound! Slacker Vampires, Children's Books, and HALLOWEEN ENDS on the Eve of Nuclear Armageddon!

Ian welcomes back filmmaker Onur Tukel for a wide-ranging discussion about...well, everything!

What began as a podcast meant to talk about the writer/director/actor's 2014 phenomenal indie vampire comedy, Summer of Blood; his recent children's book collaboration with Halloween Ends director David Gordon Green, and his just-about-finished new feature, Poundcake, quickly expanded to include topics as mundane as home fire safety and as high-wire-walking as racism and cancel culture.

The guys also lay the groundwork for episodes about Onur's entire filmography!

Strap in. Open your ears, hearts, and minds wide.
