Jose and I love doing movie commentaries, but we have run out of films to cover! The series "Commentary on Clive's Contemporaries" allows us to look in the background and see what movies were happening when these Clive Barker movies and sequels were being made. We choose a range of movies, and you, the listeners, vote for which one we cover. This series was sponsored by our listeners in the 2025 Kickstarter Campaign, Clive Barker Podcast Presents Fundraiser 11 : The Patron Configuration and covers a range of years from 1973 (Salome) to 2024 (Night of the Zoopocalypse) and beyond.
In Episode 537, Jose and Ryan are joined by Don Bertram David Blair, Joe Manco and Jesse for a round-table discussion of our thoughts about Clive Barker's new announced book releases and Kickstarter campaign, Library of the Dead.
In Episode 536, Jose and Ryan go over some Hellraiser and Barker release-related news. Then we are joined by Markus Williams and Don Bertram to compare and discuss Pinhead Potraits by Clive Barker over the years.
