Conversation with Jason Kulas, star of After Last Season

Jason Kulas, the star of After Last Season, gives his first ever interview about his experience making the film and its subsequent reputation as one of the worst movies ever made. Join as Dan from The Goods chats with Jason about After Last Season, its bizarre filming conditions, stalled attempts to turn it into a cult circuit sensation, its enigmatic director, and its outrageous reported budget. Then they discuss Jason's career since, current projects, favorite kinds of movies, and what's next.
Thanks very much to Jason for joining The Goods. You can find Jason's current work with Nutmeg Junction here: https://nutmegjunction.com/

Feeders (1996) / Henry’s Kitchen (2011-12) - Nobody’s birthday (but mine)

We're having a birthday party, today is a special one, and having a birthday party is a lot of fun.
Join The Goods as it celebrates Brian's birthday by watching two movies he associates with moody winter celebration: First, a zero-budget sci-fi shot-on-video film called Feeders. Then, the first "season" of a YouTube series about a depressing man cooking poorly.
So Brian, from your co-host and listeners: Light up the candles, one for every year that's gone. Have a happy birthday, yeah yeah yeah.

After Last Season (2009) / Final Flesh (2009) ft. Gargus - Get that in you

Gargus has vowed to break the pod with their latest appearance, and has accomplished their mission with two pieces of low-budget barely-cinema from 2009: After Last Season and Final Flesh.
Join as Dan, Brian, and Gargus talk through the bizarre saga of After Last Season and its director, Mark Region, including the world's most baffling CGI sequence. Then, they discuss the subversive filmmaking experiment Final Flesh that goes to some strange places. Even stranger than normal for The Goods.
We have a room next to the living room.
