Michael Jackson's Ghosts with James III
Episode 67, Jun 09, 2021, 08:00 AM
To dive into this weird King-related subject, the boys are joined by the very funny James III (BLACK MIRROR, ASTRONOMY CLUB). Conversation goes into some wild territory, from how oddly biographical the film is, Jackson's seeming disgust at overweight people, Mos Def, King's rapidly diminishing role on the project as it moved forward and horror's relationship with music.
Once upon a time, Michael Jackson wanted to make a short film that would top THRILLER so he hired Stephen King to write a script for a scary musical. That evolved into Michael Jackson's Ghosts, a 40 minute short that is largely forgotten today.
