Ep 16: Phantasm (Part 1)

This week, CFX explores the dark world of Phantasm, but not just the first film! No, we dive into the entire film franchise, all 5 films. And this is such a dark, harrowing journey that we had to split this into two parts, lest our audience become too terrified to take it all in. In Part 1 of the episode, we discuss the origins of the franchise and the first two films. Along the way, we learn:

• Why Don Coscarelli is a true American legend
• How the behind the scenes of these films was sometimes as frightening as the films themselves
• Who Reggie Bannister is, how he’s unlucky in love, but why we still love him anyway
• How Brad Pitt and Jeffrey Tambor almost changed Phantasm history
• How much Dos Equis beer was consumed in the making of the films
• And why the musical performances in these movies are “Hot as Love”
