EP#470 - Mason Novick and Diablo Cody (Forbidden Fruits)

On an all new episode of the Boo Crew, you're joined by two of the most visionary and genuinely kind forces in modern filmmaking, Mason Novick and Diablo Cody, to talk all about their bold new horror-comedy Forbidden Fruits (in theaters March 27th). We dive deep into their creative partnership, how they champion new voices like director Meredith Alloway, and what it really means to be a producer in today’s evolving genre landscape. From the film’s origins as a stage play to its fully realized cinematic world, including the immersive Free Eden universe, influencer-era activations, and that unforgettable tone, we break down the mechanics of how this thing came to life! We also get into the state of horror today, theatrical experiences, SXSW reactions, the Waxwork Records soundtrack release, and the power of world-building beyond the screen. And yes… we go there. We talk Jennifer’s Body, its resurrection, legacy, and where the story goes next with it's pending sequel, plus Evil Dead, Sweet Valley High, Rags to Riches and more!
