On episode 225 of Another Goddamn Horror Podcast, we sit down with John Davies, writer of the monster movie gem Kids vs. Aliens and the grindhouse classic Hobo With a Shotgun, which started as a fake trailer in Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse double feature before becoming a full-length cult hit. We dig into his book Man vs. Bear, horror writing, screenwriting, indie filmmaking, grindhouse cinema, practical effects, monsters, and genre storytelling.

We also cover exploitation films, cult horror movies, Canadian horror, horror auteurs, midnight movies, VHS-era influences, and the idea of quiet Tarantino storytelling where character, tension, and violence collide. If you are into horror podcasts, horror movie interviews, indie horror, grindhouse films, monster movies, splatter cinema, or cult classics, this episode is for you.
