Joe Dante Encore

GGACP marks the 30th anniversary of the cult comedy “Matinee” (released January 29, 1993) with an ENCORE presentation of a fascinating 2016 interview with director-producer Joe Dante. In this episode, Joe discusses everything from his love of Disney films to apprenticing for Roger Corman to developing the ill-fated “Jaws 3, People 0.” Also, Joe auditions Rod Steiger, ad-libs with Tony Randall, passes on “Orca, Part II” and pays tribute to William Castle. PLUS: Keye Luke! Brother Theodore! “Bride of the Gorilla”! Horrible Herman the Asiatic Insect! And the return of “The Tingler”!
