This episode features a conversation with Dark Delicacies co-founder and author Del Howison on the history of his beloved shop in Burbank as it rounds the corner toward its final day in April after decades of serving West coast genre fans with books, movies, collectibles, and unforgettable signing events. Del and I discuss the origin of the store, his inspiring relationship with wife and co-founder Sue Howison, and what it has meant to them to be so ingrained in the world of genre entertainment. Del also gets into his process as a prolific writer, and much more. A lovely conversation to say farewell to a store that has always been so much more than a store and to two people everyone in the horror film community will miss. DarkDel.com JustinBeahm.com

Composer Timothy Andrew Edwards has hundreds of film and television credits under his belt and is one of my closest friends. Tim scored a number of projects for me including the 2012 documentary YOU CAN'T KILL THE BOGEYMAN, and our history goes back to my earliest adventures in Los Angeles. In addition to his music, Tim teaches courses at the Musician's Institute on Hollywood and runs a music publishing company that gets the work of dozens of composers from all around the world onto screens big and small. In this conversation we talk a lot about getting into the business and how to survive in such an unpredictable industry, reminisce on some of our nocturnal LA excursions, and offer a lot of inspiration for creatives. Also on this episode: news about my book ROADSIDE MEMORIES: BELOVED AND BIZARRE ATTRACTIONS FROM NORTH AMERICA'S PAST now being available in paperback, updates on physical media releases, and more.

The world of film is in a state of flux right now as streaming continues to cast a larger shadow and retailers have started backing away from carrying movies on their shelves. On this episode I welcome Jake Boston, SteelbookObsessed on social media, for a discussion about what he sees going on in the realm of physical media...the past, the present, and what might lie in the future. Jake brings up some intriguing points, particularly the connection between the worlds of gaming and physical media movies, so I then bring longtime buddy Mike Saunders (Attack of the Killer Podcast, Prescribed Films) on to share insight from his many years in video game retail and what his perspective is on the paralells between these realms. Also on this episode I reveal my first book, Roadside Memories: Beloved and Bizarre Attractions from North America's Past, will be available on Amazon in February.
