Finding the Evil Dead Within ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ [Halloweenies Podcast]
We all go a little mad sometimes. Even the Halloweenies. Today especially. Join the gang in the Multiverse as they discuss Sam Raimi’s latest return to the silver screen: the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) blockbuster from just a few months back. You guessed it: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, presented by Walt Disney Studios.
Together, co-hosts McKenzie Gerber, Michael Roffman, and Justin Gerber discuss how the universe has turned Hollywood mad, where you can find Raimi’s trademark stamp within, and whether or not there’s any Evil Dead connective tissue. It’s three hours on your (possibly, but probably not) favorite Marvel film. So, grab a pizza ball and get spinning.

Here at Halloweenies, we love practical effects—there’s a reason why one of our categories is called “Great Graphics.” Well, consider this a full-length “Great Graphics” episode, where we talk to the effects team behind the titular puppet of Pinocchio Unstrung, in theaters this Friday. As the latest installment in the Twisted Childhood Universe, Pinocchio ups the franchise’s game by featuring a villain that’s entirely practical, created with a stunning mix of animatronics and, of course, puppetry.
So, take a seat at the workbench for a spirited interview between Halloweenie co-host Dan Caffrey and MASTERS FX President and Founder (and special effects legend in his own right) Todd Masters, Pinnochio Lead artist and Designer Kiana Larson, and Lead Animatronics Joshua Raymond. Learn how they pulled off such a dazzling and terrifying puppet, where they think the effects industry is headed, the movies that made them want to be FX artists, a few tidbits of Nightmare On Elm Street history, and more.
Pinocchio himself might even pop by for an appearance.
