Description
COMING SOON! SHADOW PLAY: The Stories We Tell in the Dark
A story-driven podcast about cinema’s forgotten histories and bizarre realities.
FILM ON THE FRINGE is a series of 10 episodes exploring modern cult classics and genre favorites and their connections to magic, myth, and mystery.
Each episode digs into a movie, then peels back the layers to uncover the real-life folklore, science, and history that inspired it. From dream demons and cryptids to climate horror and cosmic dread, this is where film meets fringe theory.
Film on the Fringe is a companion to MAGICAL MYSTERY MEDIA (aka Magical Mystery Radio), which was a freewheeling discussion about fringe documentaries.
