TUSK: Kevin Smith's Criminally Underrated Body Horror Movie

Make Your Own Damn Podcast - A podcast by Lucas Mangum - Thursdays

On the 259th episode of SModcast, indie legend turned Hollywood darling turned cinematic outlaw Kevin Smith and longtime collaborator Scott Mosier read a bizarre want ad in which a homeowner was offering free lodging, so long as the tenant was willing to wear a Walrus costume. This led to an in-depth discussion about a hypothetical horror film inspired in equal parts by Stuart Gordon, David Cronenberg, and THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE. By the time of its premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, TUSK was no longer a hypothetical. The film has gone on to become Smith's most controversial to date, but here at Make Your Own Damn Podcast, we give it the reexamination we believe it deserves.
