LeeGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is a cheeky bonus episode as promised, another interview with our good friend Tony Wash over at Scotchworthy Productions.
LeeJust to let you know, later in the interview, we're discussing the new comic book, which will be coming out alongside the anniversary edition of It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To, and we discuss the difference between the black and white and the colour.
LeeYou can see those if you go over to our Instagram. We're going to post up the pictures of the two side by side as a repost from Tony so that you can see exactly what we were talking about.
LeeAnd hopefully, if he gets enough people on the pre-order, when the comic book comes out, it will in fact be in colour.
LeeSo, thanks very much, and enjoy the show.
LeeGood evening and welcome to Horror.
LeeI'm Lee, and as promised last week, I'm here with something extra special with a little late Christmas present for you all.
LeeI'm here with the amazing Tony Wash, president of Scotchworthy Productions.
LeeHe's been doing some great stuff since we last spoke, so we were chatting, and he's offered to come on and tell everyone what he's been up to.
LeeThanks very much for coming on, Tony.
Tony WashOh, yeah. Back with my brother from across the pond after all these years.
Tony WashOh, yeah.
LeeIt's, yeah, it's it's it's great to have you back and I really appreciate you taking the time to to speak to me and our listeners.
LeeYeah, and let us know what you've been up to.
Tony WashFor sure. No, it's it's always great to have people such as you and your position where, you know, you're you're not just helping me promote my stuff, but you're doing it enthusiastically because you're legitimately a fan, and you in particular Lee have been a fan of of my stuff since it's my party and I'll die if I want to, which is you know, as you know since you pre-ordered one of the the the edition the new DVDs.
Tony WashWe're on our 15-year anniversary of the release of it's my party.
Tony WashSo, you know, we shot that from 2005 to 2007, and I just I think that I think back and I'm like, that was a lifetime ago at this point, you know, it's just crazy.
LeeYeah, it is and the stuff you've wrecked up between now and then is fantastic and so that's why we're, you know, we're still sitting here chatting now.
LeeIs it's it's always consistently amazing and it's been great to see you on your journey from sort of where you started, self-funding and sort of early on just doing everything yourself sort of in house.
LeeYeah, to the stuff you're doing now and curating other people's work and yeah, it's it's just been fantastic.
LeeAnd it's it's nice to have a cornerstone of something you can go to who's putting stuff out regularly and yeah, and it's always consistently good.
Tony WashWow, I appreciate that.
Tony WashAnd and you know, you your fan your fandom of of our work is is a testament to the fact that my friends and I really take pride in what we create and, you know,
Tony Washand and that at least those of us that are influencing the creative side of it are legitimate fans of the horror genre.
Tony WashWhich I think is important when you're making independent horror movies, you know, it's not about making a buck, it's about showing people the heart that you have for for something.
Tony WashThe passion and, I've always believed that, you know, they they tell you do what you do what you know or do what you love.
Tony WashYou know, and and to me that's especially important when you're an artist or a storyteller.
Tony Washand so, you know, I I'm not going to go out and and start making romantic comedies, even though I would.
Tony WashI don't I'm not funny and and I don't think that, that that I would do as good of a job translating my style to that genre versus horror, which is something I've grown up with and always loved.
Tony WashAs you can see from my collection of posters behind me and such.
LeeYeah, oh, is a beautiful collection.
LeeActually, it does bring me to a point. I was going to say your, films a lot of the time have got that really nice '80s feel to them.
Leelike just the the color palette and the player and everything is so not necessarily, it doesn't feel like you're going for nostalgia, but it feels like you're doing what you love, which is that.
