418 : Commentary Classics - The Midnight Meat Train

The Clive Barker Podcast

Edit: We've brought back this commentary classic from 2016 to give it a proper episode number while Jose is moving and we're putting final touches on our interview book.

Thanks for joining us once again for our last audio commentary and stretch goal for the 2015 "Fundraiser III: Hell on Earth" Midnight Meat Train. Rob, Ryan and Jose get together to talk about this unflinching horror movie directed by Ryuhei Kitamura.

Sponsor: Don Bertram's Celebrate Imagination
