Episode 206: Filmmaker David Matalon and When a Stranger Calls (1979)

This week we chat with writer/director David Matalon! He's one of the writers and the co-story creator behind Amazon Prime's Totally Killer. We chat about anti-nostalgia, the genesis of the story and filmmaking in general before taking it back to when he was a kid and find out why When a Stranger Calls terrified him.
