It Scared the Sh*t out of Me (Ep 541 - Halloween/Jim)

My guest this week is Jim Farmer, festival director of Atlanta’s Out on Film fest. Jim’s a longtime arts reporter in Atlanta, though he got his start in journalism doing just-the-facts newsgathering — a beat that bored him to tears, until he decided to take the reins and create his own career doing what he loved.

We’ll have that conversation in just a minute. First, a reminder that for the entire month of October I’m hosting livestreams of films by and about James Whale, the iconic director behind many classic Universal horror films. This weekend we’re watching Whale’s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. That’s at Twitch.tv/mattbaume this Saturday and Sunday.

And also a reminder that I have a new YouTube video out about the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman. And I have a new video coming later this month about James Whale and Frankenstein. That’s at youtube.com/mattbaume.

And as always, if you’re enjoying The Sewers of Paris, support the show on Patreon at Patreon.com/mattbaume.
