In today’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo goes back in time to explore all of the nooks and crannies of filmmaker Joe Dante’s film career with the director himself, who is currently out promoting his Scream Factory and Shout Factory TV takeover entitled, “Joe Dante’s Film Inferno.” During the takeover, Dante will introduce and guide you through 7 underrated classic feature films from the Shout Factory/Scream Factory catalog, including films like Roger Corman’s “Attack of the Crab Monsters,” William Castle's “House on Haunted Hill,” and more.

Dante discussed the origins of "Gremlins" (meant to be a low-budget horror at first before Steven Spielberg got eyes on it) and a bunch of projects that almost happened, like his unproduced “Jaws” sequel, his “Halloween III” and even his version of “Batman” before Michael Keaton and Tim Burton were brought on.
