Michael Biehn

Michael Biehn kicks things off by talking about his real “Abyss” knife that he kept, as well as some Buck Taylor Johnny Ringo art pieces that he likes. Then the episode shifts to Onslaught: it finally has a Labor Day weekend release date, and after seeing the movie, Michael says Adam Wingard absolutely nailed it—fast, dirty, ultra-violent, and nonstop—while shouting out performances from Dan Stevens and Adria Arjona. They also talk about the Onslaught trailer debuting in theaters before Backrooms, the huge buzz around Backrooms and internet-born horror, and how studios (especially A24) are leaning into horror because it’s making serious money. Michael briefly teases he’s in Europe prepping another big movie he can’t name yet, and shares a personal update about his mom’s health.
