The Movie Crypt: Ep. 137: Lucky McKee

The Movie Crypt

Filmmaker Lucky McKee (MAY, THE WOMAN, ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE, THE WOODS) helps Adam, Joe, and Arwen begin 2016 with a fun, lively, and brutally honest discussion about Lucky's career, the music they love, the books they are digging, and most everything else you can think of in-between. From the various trials and tribulations Lucky has endured and survived over his years of storytelling… to making the decision to relocate away from Los Angeles in an effort to get a break from the negative aspects of the industry… to the decision to return back to the land of make believe in 2016… it just doesn’t get more real or candid than this compelling conversation. While there are plenty of laughs as the three filmmaker friends and kindred souls discuss their craft, this episode also tackles some extremely difficult and emotional topics such as raising children in today’s hellaciously violent world, how Lucky’s biggest heartbreak became an unstoppable source of creative power, and the raw truth about how disenchanting it can be to try and find your “film family” while continuing to endure tedious social interactions, to cope with repeated backstabbing from “friends", and weather the storm of ugly competitiveness with a thick enough skin.
