The Projection Booth Podcast - Un podcast de The Projection Booth

Special Guest: Jason V. Brock
Guest Co-Host: Elric Kane, Chris Stachiw


On this special episode of The Projection Booth, we're looking at the 1962 film from Roger Corman, The Intruder. The film stars William Shatner as Adam Cramer, a stranger who comes to the Southern town of Caxton, a town on the brink of school integration. Cramer is there to stop integration or, moreover, he’s there to stir up trouble.


The film was written by Charles Beaumont who based the screenplay on his own novel of the same name.

Elric Kane and Chris Stachiw join Mike to discuss this remarkable and disturbing film that demonstrates how a demagogue can rise to power by stoking the fires of fear and hatred.
