666: "Mayday. Mayday. I'm being held by a pig lady." | The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)

Sun, sand, and... terrifying human-animal hybrids?

Jeff Johnson (host of A Film By) joins us on the island to tackle one of cinema's most notoriously troubled productions: The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). Together, we unpack Marlon Brando’s bucket hats, Val Kilmer’s legendary onset antics, and how a classic H.G. Wells tale turned into pure movie-making mayhem. You won't want to miss this one!
