This week we're chatting with filmmaker and disco empress Maggie Levin! She's a filmmaker whose debut feature film “My Valentine” was part of Hulu’s Into the Dark series. She also served as second unit director and credit designer for Universal's The Black Phone. Her latest work is the segment “Shredding” from V/H/S/99 which is currently on Shudder. We chat about her horror history, growing up in spooky places, a slumber party experience with Scream, her taste in music and the punk rock feel of this year's V/H/S/99 and so much more before we transition to discussing Peter Berg (?!) and his 1998 very dark comedy Very Bad Things. First we were dying to know why this was her Scarred for Life moment and, listeners, this one ranks up with our favorite stories. Then we chat racism, homoeroticism, homosocial behavior, boys behaving badly, and the downward spiral of the characters.SPOILER ALERT FOR V/H/S/99: As we start talking about the practical effects, we do dig into some spoilers for Maggie's section. So if you haven't seen it or don't want to be spoiled on a few of the gore gags, here are the time codes.Spoiler talk time codes: about 24m10s to about 27m.
