Before Phantasm Ravager there was talk of a very different Fifth Phantasm Film: a script by Stephen Romano that A. Michael Baldwin described as ‘the thinking man’s Phantasm’. Joining me to discuss all things ‘Phantasm Forever’ is filmmaker and superphan, Ian Jones!

Take great care you play the final game! (Or final until 2016, at any rate!) It's time to discuss the phantastic fourth instalment of the Phantasm franchise with die hard phan Peter Marullo, lead singer on the band Protagonist! https://protagonist.bandcamp.com/

Harry from Death by DVD is back to discuss the one that got away - Roger Avary's epic, semi-legendary Phantasm sequel: Phantasm 1999, also known as Phantasm 2013 AD and Phantasm's End.

Welcome back to Morningside FM! I'm kicking off season 2 with my most exciting guest yet - the Lady in Lavender herself, Kat Lester!

Kat and I talk all things Phantasm, Ravager and everything in-between.

Since staring in the original Phantasm, Kat has been performing as Le Kat . Check out her music here - https://open.spotify.com/album/36yjJpBKfhlnOTF2ZulKEL

Like so many others, I first discovered Phantasm by renting it on video. In this latest episode of Morningside FM, I sat down with Nick Box from Dead Format Cult Film Store & Retro Video Shop to talk about the golden age of VHS rentals, horror, and Phantasm!

When he's not peddling dead formats, Nick is also an award-winning filmmaker https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4086158/ 

As a Halloween bonus, I've recorded a mini episode in which I consider Don Coascarelli's second film, Kenny & Company (1976) as a forerunner to Phantasm! Happy Halloween! Be especially careful of candy apples and popcorn balls... 

Author Dustin McNeill joins me to talk about his unauthorized companion books: 'Phantasm Exhumed' and 'Further Exhumed: The Strange Case of Phantasm Ravager'. You can buy Dustin's books here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dustin-McNeill/e/B00JUL1EBY%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share and don't forget to check out his Phantasm site here: http://phantasmarchives.blogspot.com/

In a Morningside FM first, I chat to a crewmember from the original Phantasm! Roberto A. Quezada had so many roles on the film: second assistant cameraman, gaffer, location scout, and eventually assistant editor, that he was given that he was dubbed Phantasm's 'visual consultant' by Don Coscarelli and Paul Pepperman. Check out Roberto's photography at https://www.dardonphoto.com/ 

Phantasm doesn't have ordinary fans, it has 'phans'. Passionate, creative, sphere-tattooed, die-hard phans. I spoke to the woman whom Dac Coscarelli once declared to be "Phantasm's number one fan" - Kristen Deem herself - about why this franchise inspires such devotion and dedication in its followers, and about her strange journey through the spacegate from the world of phantom and into the Phantasm Phamily itself. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0214309/

Does Phantasm bear feminist analysis? Does it pass the Bechdel test? Zowie Swan and I find out... 

This week, I am joined by my Book at Breakfast co-host, Mark Charlesworth, to discuss the legendary, long-lost, Phantasm novelization by Kate Coscarelli. You can hear Mark and I talk about many other books over at https://linktr.ee/abookatbreakfast You can also find Mark's music here: https://g.co/kgs/Ptpdmc He's hot as love, man. 

The funeral is about to begin! This week I am joined by musician, author, and death care industry expert, Zowie Swan, to discuss Phantasm's depiction of coffins, crypts and crematoriums as well as the broader existential themes of death and dying in this franchise and the horror genre in general. You think that when you die you go to heaven? You come to us! Find out more about Zowie's writing at http://www.zowieswan.com/

Welcome! For our first episode I am joined by Freudian cinephile, Mary Wild, to discuss Don Coscarelli's 1979 masterpiece: Phantasm. Is it all a dream? Who is the Tall Man? What is Mike really afraid of? Listen now to hear us philosophize about all things phantasmagorical!
