Patton Oswalt

This week on Scarred For Life, Andy Bush and Dave Lawrence are joined by comedian, actor, writer and genuine pop culture legend, Patton Oswalt.

From Star Wars and Star Trek to horror movies, comic books and classic animation, Patton takes us on a journey through the strange and unsettling things that left a lasting mark on him growing up.

Along the way, he explains why comedy and horror are essentially the same craft, reveals his all-time favourite horror films, discusses physical media, Doctor Who, Ghostwatch, Akira, nuclear war paranoia, and why some of the darkest moments in children's entertainment are far more disturbing than anything intended to be scary.

His three scars are:

• The endless torment lurking beneath classic Looney Tunes cartoons

• The horrifying final moments of the original version of The Fly

• The unforgettable robot transformation scene from Superman III

Plus, Patton shares his thoughts on ghosts, body horror, animation, Star Wars, Star Trek, and why some fictional nightmares stay with us for decades.
