Summary

"Gremlins" and "The Howling" director Joe Dante grew up as a horror movie-obsessed kid in Morristown, New Jersey and went on to work with many of his childhood heroes, including John Carradine, Christopher Lee and Kevin McCarthy. Gilbert and Frank dialed up Joe in his Hollywood home to inquire about everything from his love of Disney films to apprenticing for Roger Corman to developing the ill-fated "Jaws 3, People 0." Also, Joe auditions Rod Steiger, ad-libs with Tony Randall, passes on "Orca, Part II" and pays tribute to William Castle. PLUS: Keye Luke! Brother Theodore! "Bride of the Gorilla"! Horrible Herman the Asiatic Insect! And the return of "The Tingler"! Let Selfie Station be the Picture taker, Ice breaker AND your money maker.
