The legendary Nick Castle, the original Michael Myers, steps into the spotlight on this special Halloween-themed episode of Pop Culture Weekly. Join me, Kyle McMahon, as Nick opens up about his role as "The Shape" and the incredible journey of the Halloween franchise from an indie flick to a cultural touchstone.

Switching gears, I also have the pleasure of chatting with Daisy Ridley about her latest project, "Magpie," a gripping Hitchcockian thriller. Daisy shares how her journey in the film industry inspired this tale of isolation and family dynamics, with insights into the creative partnership with writer Tom and the film's talented crew. Discover how the noir ambiance of "Magpie" was brought to life through the collaborative efforts of director Sam Yates, director of photography Laura Bellingham, and production designer Amanda McCarthy. With nods to cinematic influences like Hitchcock and "Silence of the Lambs," this conversation sheds light on the intricacies behind crafting a compelling thriller. Tune in for an episode filled with engaging stories and exclusive insights from Nick Castle and Daisy Ridley.
