EPISODE 162: The Pink Smoke & The Films of Joe Dante.

The Pink Smoke's own Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs recently appeared on The Wrong Reel podcast with host James Hancock to talk about genre-bending genius and American Treasure Joe Dante.

They discuss Dante's wonderfully weird forays into blending horror tropes, suburban Americana and movie mania including Gremlins, The Howling, The 'Burbs and Matinee as well as his more sci-fi oriented family-friendly blockbusters like Innerspace, Explorers and Small Soldiers. They also cover deep cuts like Dante's made-for-t.v. films, his history with Roger Corman and the infamous 8-hour Movie Orgy.
