A podcast for all the creatures of the night. We apologize for the audio quality of Matt's mic on the first 15 episodes. He finally got a new one and it sounds pretty smooooth. The new mic starts at 'Tom Hanks is in a horror movie.'Regular Podcasters: Lindsey Clark - Lindsey Clark graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Journalism. She is currently putting that degree to great use by working at a bank. Her hobbies include reading, canoeing, trying new restaurants and pal-lin' around. She joined the IT Records podcast in November 2016 and her top horror flicks are Scream (1996), Suspiria (1977) and IT (2017). Her guilty pleasure will forever be the 1998 cinematic phenomenon that is Urban Legend. Matt Johnson - Matt Johnson graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Journalism and Renewable Energy. He earned a minor in Cinema Studies and utilizes the knowledge from those courses for the enrichment of the IT Records podcast. He currently is working toward a master's degree in Sustainability and Energy Economics. When he isn't working at the university, he enjoys reading, exercising, and sipping a nice Malbec. A few of his favorite movies include Suspiria (1977), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), and Eyes Without A Face (1962). He has a guilty pleasure for the 1998 film starring Scrubs' Sarah Chalke, I've Been Waiting For You. Peter Hansen - Peter Hansen graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Television Production. He is in every way the bizarro Matt Johnson. Peter never drinks coffee or reads books. He is shorter than Matt and better looking. Sure, he can be lazy, use terrible grammar, and procrastinate, but nonetheless he is trying to make a career with the degree he earned through blood, sweat, and tears. A list of films Peter loves include The Thing (1982), Rec (2007) and Peeping Tom (1962). Pete has a guilty pleasure for the tasty Junior Mint and the Stephen King directed film, Maximum Overdrive. He has been quoted saying the film is 'simply divine.' Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. more
