Episode 266: Ed Wood (1994)

Special Guests: Larry Karaszewski, Mike Starr, Lydia Kavina, Andrew J. Rausch
Guest Co-Hosts: Rob St. Mary, Steve Sholtes

Can your heart stand the shocking truth about Ed Wood? This week's discussion focuses on Tim Burton's 1994 film starring Johnny Depp and Martin Landau about the hapless B-movie director Edward D. Wood Jr.

Guests include the film's co-writer, Larry Karaszewski, actor Mike Starr, musician Lydia Kavina, and author Andrew J. Rausch.

Rob St. Mary returns for the episode along with composer/musician Steve Sholtes

Errata:

• Mike mistakenly credited Roberta Findlay for Doris Wishman's Let Me Die a Woman.
• Yes, Bela Lugosi played Frankenstein in the 1943 Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man but definitely not in the more famous and successful 1931 Frankenstein.
