Hosts STEPHEN SCARLATA (producer, Jodorowsky's Dune) and JOSH MILLER (writer, Sonic The Hedgehog, Violent Night) take a look at unmade movies from a less explored vantage point -- a storyboard artist. They're joined by comic book artist GABRIEL HARDMAN (Green Latern: Earth One, Kinski) who has had a long and successful career doing storyboards for a wide variety of big Hollywood movies; everything from the Austin Powers trilogy, to Dark Knight Rises, to Logan, to Interstellar, to Ford v Ferrari. And of course many projects only ever saw visual life with Hardman's pen. We discuss a bevy of almost-was projects that Hardman worked on, including SILVER SURFER, Mike Myers' DIETER, Bryan Singer's LOGAN'S RUN remake, JOHN CARTER OF MARS, and much more!

Originally from our Patreon: Albert Pyun (1953 – 2022) was the consummate independent genre filmmaker -- his audacious film output in the 1980s and 1990s amassed a string of brain-blending films that mixed sci-fi, fantasy, action, horror, comedy, Eastern and Western cinema, to create something wholly unique, something maybe best described using the title of one of his own films - Radioactive Dreams. 1982's THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER, Van Damme's CYBORG, NEMESIS, DOLLMAN, even the original and much-maligned CAPTAIN AMERICA movie. Though he never achieved mainstream success, Pyuns films have haunted the minds of Steve and Josh and so many others - including our guest for the episode, BenDavid Grabinski (co-creator "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off"). Join us as we explore the Pyuniverse of cyborgs, kickboxing, muscle women, post-apocalyptic madness, and much more.
