Episode 4 - Joe Lynch "Sex, Flesh, and Videotape"

Scream Dreams

Episode 4’s guest is director Joe Lynch.

Joe Lynch is the director of just-released erotic horror thriller SUITABLE FLESH, starring Heather Graham and our own Barbara Crampton (an AMP production). His previous directing credits include MAYHEM, EVERLY, POINT BLANK, WRONG TURN 2 and Shudder’s TV series CREEPSHOW. An encyclopaedia of movie knowledge, Joe also co-hosts a long-running podcast THE MOVIE CRYPT with long-time friend Adam Green.

Welcome to SCREAM DREAMS - The Nightmares That Shaped Us! SCREAM DREAMS is the show that delves into our most vivid dreams and nightmares, and how they affect our lives and work. Hosts are Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier, Return to Nuke 'Em High), James A Janisse (Kill Count, Dead Meat Podcast) and Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Suitable Flesh).

In this episode…This one is full of surprises!

Joe Lynch talks about preparing for this interview by dreaming more… and sleeping even less! How his dreams help him to process his real-life fears. How intense weed smoking used to eradicate his dream recollections. How he dreams cinematically, in camera angles, and how he directs in his sleep. How a scene from SUITABLE FLESH was responsible for his most disturbing death dream. How he uses moments from his dreams in his movies – and his intense fear of hanging upside down (no comment from Catherine!). We discuss the pressure of being a director, and the importance of hiding those inner nerves. Plus long shooting days, the advantage of “French hours”, and taking on internet trolls and negative reviewers on Letterboxd.

We talk about Johnathon Schaech’s hairy chest, James’ smoothy, and the amount of sex in SUITABLE FLESH. Joe and Catherine discuss cinematic nudity, the unsexiness of shooting sex scenes, and the pros and cons of intimacy coordinators.

In this week’s Side Barb, Barbara drops a huge, sexy dream revelation on Joe – it’s a jaw-drop moment for all! Barbara and Joe get emotional as they discuss working together. And Joe and our hosts play a new nightmare-guessing game, with interesting results!
