Getting any film finished and released is truly a minor miracle. There are so many stages of film production where projects fall apart. From financiers backing out at the last minute to a star quitting 2 days before production is set to begin. Most films take approximately 3 years from inception to completion when they do survive the Squid Games like survival test of getting a movie done.
Our guest take has just completed his 400th film. To put it plainly, he’s unstoppable.
The Godfather of B movies, the Puppet Master and a true master at reinventing himself time and time again… in this episode we welcome one of Spill your guts favourite guests, Charles Band.
Now, Charlie has created a new line of films titled Pulp Noire and with it, Charlie is setting out to show fans a whole new side to Full Moon films. Surrealistic, trippy, raw, and bleak… and nary a diminutive creature in sight. This new line shows Charlie reinventing YET again.
The first film in the series is titled “Quadrant” and is directed by Charlie himself (all the Pulp Noire films will be directed by Charlie who generally prefers to take the producing helm) . It’s a typically crazy Full Moon film that involves virtual reality, monsters and Jack the Ripper. Just see it. I can’t even begin to describe this gonzo head trip.
Quadrant releases on nearly all platforms as well as being available from fullmoon

Charlie sat down with me to discuss the response to the recently released David Allen masterpiece “The Primevals”, to talk about the inception of Pulp Noire and why he chose to direct all the films himself and also to share his greatest fear. Which I’m sure you'll find is so very Charles Band appropriate.
Let’s strap on our VR helmets and be weary of the ripper as Spill your guts welcomes back the one and only Charles Band!
