Aaron and Derek welcome back horror comic author extraordinaire Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Empty Man, The Sixth Gun, etc.) to talk 1995's neo-noir supernatural horror film "Lord of Illusions" written and directed by Clive Barker. They discuss what makes Nix such a good horror villain, Bakula's performance as Harry D'Amour, and the amazing opening sequence with the cult. They also get into the world of stage magicians vs actual magicians, Barker's history with the D'Amour character, and trope inversion of a villain trying to achieve godhood. Aaron and Derek know flesh is a trap, and magic sets them free. Cullen wanted to be a god... then changed his mind.
