The Cult Of...Matthew Lillard

Jesse Krempel

The Cult Of... , hosted by me, Jesse Krempel is a movie history/review podcast that follows the entire filmography of a particular cult movie actor one film at a time. The first season of this show will cover the filmography of Matthew Lillard!


On each episode, I break down the figures of the film, give cultural context to the time of the movie release, talk about where the actor was in their own career/life, and break down the plot and themes of the film.


This show is, first and foremost, a celebration of these actors, because in my opinion, their participation in these films have really meant something to a lot of people, and I think that's important to do. I have no problem praising or critiquing a film, so if that's something you're interested, you've come to the right place!

    Animal Room (1995)

    On today's episode of The Cult Of... Matthew Lillard, we are heading down to the basement and we're going to get in a fight with hot gothic Matthew Lillard as we delve into this strange little movie from 1995, Animal Room!!! This movie is like if A Clockwork Orange was set in a high school in NJ, but you know, maybe not as good. This movie has it all!! Carnival on a pier! Catherine Hicks! Slightly naked Matthew Lillard! The Misfits? This is also an interesting movie to cover right before Scream because Matthew gets to be the big baddie in this one, so check it out on Vimeo and then come back and listen to the episode :) Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Show E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.com Follow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

    Tarantella (1995)

    On today's episode of The Cult Of... Matthew Lillard, we're heading into deep indie NY/NYC cinema with a little known film from a female director called Tarantella (1995), Our boy Matt stars alongside a post Oscar win but pre Romy White Mira Sorvino and a host of other vaguely Italian/Italian American actors. This film is all about family, loss, connection and generational trauma, but make it Italian, I guess!!
