NO INTERMISSIONS
No Intermissions is a double-feature podcast where my designated, special guest and I pair the unrepairable and link the unlinkable, putting two unlikely movies picked at complete random and dissected in a back-to-back discussion, by the conclusion, no matter how hard it may be, we attempt to find any connecting thematic tissue whether from genre, aesthetic, motive or style.

Host Jack welcomes special guest, actor and filmmaker Taylor Salim of Salami Productions, to discuss the claustrophobic paranoia and transformative body horror of THE THING. They pair it with the simmering psychological menace and Southern Gothic stylings of CAPE FEAR, where, for a moment, it feels as though Brian De Palma possessed Martin Scorsese.
