Y'allywood Land

This week, indie film composer Ian Deaton drops in to share a list he found on IMDB of films shot in Georgia. We pick through and discuss our favorite genre films from the 40's through the mid-90's, a turning point for Georgia, and its film economy. We talk about swampsploitation, Burt Reynolds, 18 foot grizzly bears, camp snacks, and more in this week's extra-long bonus episode. Here's a link to the list: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?locations=Georgia,%20USA&sort=release_date,asc&ref_=ttloc_loc_3 Here's one of Ian's music videos directed by Adam Pinney: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afORV4tfiS8
