About this episode
Mark brings friend and fellow indie filmmaker Jeff Frumess on the show to discuss two well-known fantasy films that focus on odd things happening in the neighborhood: Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Jumanji (1995). Jeff shares his detailed list of notes and comparisons on the Tim Burton classic, and he miraculously remembers many details from the Joe Johnston adventure without even rewatching it. Shout out to The Rocketeer and we love you, Vincent Price!
