Ed Wood (1994)

In this special Spooktacular commission from Emmett, the guys dive deep into Tim Burton's 1994 biopic, Ed Wood. Starring Johnny Depp in one of his most beloved roles and Martin Landau in an Oscar-winning turn as Bela Lugosi, the film explores the life of the eccentric B-movie director often labeled the "worst" filmmaker in history.

Does Burton's loving tribute to cinematic failure still hold up, or is it merely high-quality camp? Gene and Big D discuss:

  • The genius of Martin Landau's portrayal of a faded horror icon.

  • The film's beautiful black-and-white aesthetic.

  • Whether Ed Wood was a visionary or just delightfully incompetent.

  • The surprising connections this film has to another movie in our "double-decker Halloween commission."

Tune in to find out if the story of the man behind Plan 9 from Outer Space is truly a glorious cinematic triumph!
