We\u2019ve spent four months in the Mouth of Madness with the Horror Master, and we\u2019ve reached the end point of Carpenter\u2019s directorial career...for now. A man who has *actually collaborated with John Carpenter* - Drew McWeeny (writer of Carpenter\u2019s installments in the Masters of Horror series) - joins us to recontextualize our journey through Carpenter\u2019s filmography with some exclusive behind-the-scenes tidbits. The Two Friends also discuss the strange career trajectory of Amber Heard (starting with the festival-smash-that-doesn\u2019t-exist ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE), present their final Carpenter rankings, and reveal which Auteur they\u2019ll cover on the podcast next.
