Eli Roth joins Chris to talk about his return to the horror genre! His new movie, Thanksgiving, hit theaters today, and Eli’s got lots of great stories from the set and shooting! He talks about setting the film in Boston, shooting in Canada, casting Patrick Dempsey, the real-life historical figure who inspired the killer, and writing the script with his childhood friend! He also shares the role that Quentin Tarantino and Grindhouse played in Thanksgiving’s origin way back in 2007, what prompted him to finally make the film, and how some of the kills changed along the way. Plus, talks about COVID’s impact on both movie-making and the theater experience.
