The Big Damn Podcast | Episode 024 - The Start of a Big Damn New Year
Welcome to 2026 and Season 3 of The Big Damn Podcast! This isn't just a new year; it's a new era for Big Damn Props. We are thrilled to announce that after months of filming and an obsessive editing process, our horror anthology feature, Arbor Day of Evil, is officially finished.
For the first time in 15 years, we have a completed feature film ready for the world. In this episode, we break down the emotional journey of seeing the final cut, the incredible practical effects work by the makeup team, and the "palate cleanser" structure of the film's stories.
The Big Announcement: We are taking the Arborist to New Jersey. The World Premiere will be held at Kevin Smith’s Smodcastle Cinemas.
Tickets: On sale 14 days from recording (approx. Feb 1st).
Trailer 1: Drops Valentine’s Day (Feb 14).
Trailer 2: Drops St. Patrick’s Day.
We also discuss our plans for Rifters (our summer sci-fi tentpole) and the return of the 37-Hour Film Festival. Listen to the full episode for all the chaotic details—including the moment Logan’s laptop died mid-recording.
