Episode 215: Rocco Thompson and Men in Black (1997)

This week we chat with Rocco Thompson! You've seen his writing all over the internet in places like Rue Morgue and he co-hosts The Lady Killers Podcast on Bloody Disgusting's podcast network! We chat about the podcast, Rocco's horror history, his relationship to aliens and then we dive into Men in Black and find out why this movie terrified Rocco as a kid. After Rocco shares his hilarious story, we talk about the progressive politics of the movie, the effects and how the film made us nostalgic for old school blockbusters and so much more.
