Pod Morton would like to thank Original Cinematic for sponsoring this week's episode.

Original Cinematic is a production company that has made it their mission to create, produce, and promote films that are inclusive,

honor women, promote the LGBTQIA plus community, and provide prominent positions and roles to POC actors and filmmakers and promote the films

of marginalized and underrepresented populations. These are all things that are extremely important

to our podcast as well. Original Cinematic is proud to be a WGA signatory company and they

fully stand by the WGA and its members in their fight for extremely reasonable standards.

Accordingly, they are not accepting scripts or treatment submissions at this time,

but both William and Zena Rush are available via email free of charge to discuss writing

and provide input and resources to all aspiring writers.

Their information will be made available in the show notes.

Ahead of the strike, William Rush has individually produced numerous projects, including

Coffee with Baba, Day By Day, They Slay, Before, Pack is Here, Abacue, the Winemaker, and

where do you draw the line? Two feature films, group, and immersion are slated for release this fall.

Absolutely no picket lines will be crossed, and no collective bargaining agreements will be

violated in the making of either of these films.

And very generously, original cinematic is providing all Podmortem patrons with a special link

to view these films.

If arrangements can be made, they will even schedule a virtual or in-person screening for our patrons.

We cannot thank Original Cinematic enough for their contribution to our show and the horror community as a whole.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Music back to our regularly scheduled program. Salutations. Welcome to Pod Mortem. I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez, joined as always by my co-host,

my husband, and my brother. Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez.
