Listen "Monster Kid and Rock n' Roller John Dobrydnio"
Episode Synopsis
This week on the podcast I speak with John Dobrydnio of Amherst, who, in my book, is a real renaissance guy. John describes himself as a monster kid, who is someone who fell in love with horror films at a young age and has been enjoying them his entire life. He loves them so much that he has been hosting, along with his friend Marty Caron, their own horror film show called Graveyard Cinema since 2016. It’s seen on more than 20 cable access stations in Massachusetts and it streams nationally on The Monster Channel (https://themonsterchannel.com). But John is also a life-long music fan who has recently released his own new music (which can be seen on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCps7h53qoOmttROWazdSokA ). As Johnny D and the Moonlighters, John’s music reflects the songs he heard in his youth. And we talk about both music and horror films in this interview. I also relate my experiences at the great vintage film ferstival CapitolFest in this episode.
