Albert Pyun Appreciation Month - ”Arcade & Daniel Schweiger Interview”

We here at Cinema Degeneration thought it was time for another Appreciation Month topic!  We bring to you a celebration of the life and career of the late great filmmaker Mr. Albert Pyun.  Pyun was a maverick director with over 50 directing credits to his resume before he passed away unfortunately in late 2022. Often operating well outside the studio system Pyun delivered films the only way he knew how...his way.  We are continuing the adventures and our 6th episode with a true classic in Pyun's filmography with the 1993 science fiction horror video game thriller "ARCADE", starring Megan Ward, Peter Billingsley, Seth Green, John de Lancie, Don Stark, A.J. Langer, and Norbert Weisser. This Paramount Era thriller is a tale about a VR video game that has killer instincts against anyone who dare plays it.  Join our hosts Dustin Hubbard and Cameron Scott as they discuss this stellar chapter of Pyun's epic film history that is near and dear to their hearts.  Also, starting at the 2hr:11min:26sec mark begins a one on one interview conducteed by Scott with ARCADE editor, producer and jack of all trades Full Moon alumni Mr. Daniel Schweiger where we learn all about his career, details on his Full Moon days and even more about ARCADE and it's cult film legacy.  Join us for an intense celebration of the expansive Pyuniverse!
