In this deeply silly but informative conversation with Matt DeTurck and Dan Howell from the Anomaly Film Festival, we learn all about what goes on behind the scenes to run a film festival. We discuss what brought each of them to genre movies in the first place, the joy of revisiting old Disney movies, how often it's appropriate to rewatch The Shining, and much more. In the second half of the episode, we dive into the 2026 Anomaly lineup and what kinds of weird and wonderful films await!
