Show notes Podcast – Joel Schumacher

In this episode of Deadly Doses
In light of the death of one of cinema’s most prolific, celebrated and diverse directors Joel Schumacher on the 22nd of June this year, I’ve decided to dedicate a show to him reflecting both upon his career inside and outside the horror genre.
In doing so I will be looking at my top 4 picks from Schumacher’s long, varied and impressive career within the genre. These include our cherished Lost Boys from 1987, Flatliners from 1990, 8mm and rather controversially I’m going to round up the show with a reading of his iconic 1993 crime thriller Falling Down as a horror film.
