#473- Howard Berger and Tami Lane, plus the Nut Angel

We are joined by two of our favorite former guests, Howard Berger and Tami Lane, legendary makeup and practical effects artists.  Howard and Tami are two of the friendliest, down to earth people, who have accomplished so much in the world of film and television.  In this interview, you’ll hear stories about cold calling your idol, hand modeling for Lord of the Rings, increasing the amount of blood in Kill Bill to make Tarantino laugh, winning an Oscar, the evolution of the special effect world, and much more. Make sure to check out all of Howard and Tami’s past and upcoming work.  Also, make sure to get yourself a copy of Howard’s book, Masters of Make-Up Effects: A Century of Practical Magic  today!   We also go off the rails this week as we talk about something called the Nut Angel, discuss the special effects in an independent Robocop film, and go through how some of the most well known effects were done.  Have a listen!
