Summary
Note: We were supposed to have guests, but they were no-shows. Because of that, Jay forgot to share a couple things during the podcast and it’s too late already. Episode recorded: May 16th, 2026 (05/16/2026) Madzy Williams is back. And one of our former co-hosts has suggested we look into a vampire action flick From Dusk Till Dawn, made by our favorite film director Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino based on an idea from special effects artist Robert Kurtzman. To contextualize the independent filmmaking of the time of its release, we also look into Rodriguez’s first feature film El Mariachi, which made its headline for its small budget of $7000. Jay and Madzy talk about their favorite Rodriguez’s movies, the indie movie boom of the 90s, and its similarities with the indie animation boom of the 2020s. Jay has also expressed his annoyance at people comparing last year’s Sinners with From Dusk Till Dawn for their superficial similarities. El Mariachi is currently distributed by Columbia Pictures. It’s now available on video-on-demand, Blu-Rays, and DVDs from Arrow Videos. From Dusk Till Dawn is currently distributed by Miramax through Paramount Pictures. It’s now available on video-on-demand, Blu-Rays, and DVDs from Paramount Home Entertainment.
