Rick Baker on “Octaman”: His First Paying Gig

[@SkullMan---]

I could listen Rick Baker talk for hours

[@ericx7472]

Skull Man asmr material at times lol

[@thebuttonfactory2306]

When he said that his parents lived long enough to see his success it made me realize how much of a disappointment my life has been to my parents. No pity party. Just brutally honest with myself. I’m happy that he was able to make his parents proud. For him, I’m sure it was validation.

Michael Hovsomething Seems like most of us are on that boat-otherwise everyone would be doctors and lawyers.

[@419buckeye7]

You can change that

[@CleverGirlAAH]

I'm 36 and after some major set backs am graduating from school. First in my family to get a degree. It's a vocational school Just 1 year, and LOTS of options for career. If you want to change it's only up to one person. God speed and God bless, mate!

[@qxpxqx]

It's hard to believe that Rick is almost 70 years old. He's so happy-looking and looks to be in great shape! At my school when I was seven or so, there was a catalog to order books from and in it was a creature/horror/makeup/autobiography book talking about Rick, Savini, and the evolution of classic to modern-day horror makeup, design and filming. It is still one of the greatest books I've ever read and my first-ever obsession with a possible career to get into. It's never too late, I suppose. PS FUCK CGI.

[@thechestermoore]

I had the same book in my school library!

[@noname-jh3bd]

Amen, FUCK CGI!!

[@matthewroach3195]

Best guest you have ever had!!!

[@BOOSETO]

Agreed

[@rokaanalzeer]

Doesn’t get much better than a legend like baker.

[@matthewroach3195]

@@rokaanalzeer absolutely ridiculous to think that a guy like Rick has to answer to clueless "producers " about what should go into his art! No wonder why movies suck anymore....

[@rokaanalzeer]

Matthew Roach unfortunately, that’s how the business has always been. The studio and producers always have to be nosy and not let the people they hire do their own job. Look at the justice league situation. Few directors are allowed to do what they want. Chris Nolan and Tarantino are examples of making things their own way.

[@buddyraw9778]

Just looked thru the many upon many projects done by Rick Baker and I must say that I'm utterly speechless at just how awesome he is at his craft. I remember telling my mom that I wanted to be like Rick Baker and Tom Savini because I just loved horror movies and would be more amazed at behind the scenes than the actual movies themselves. Especially when it came to dvd menus......I always went straight to the makeup lol and watch the masters work 🔥🔥🔥.

[@hanno8563]

Absolute legend! The best in his profession.

[@robroymenzies8641]

Rick has been inspiring me since I was a pre-teen...I also wanted to become a special effects makeup man! Awesome Dude!

[@Travixius1]

Hey Octaman is a classic... those tentacle strikes

[@anubisswift]

very proud to own this on big box vhs

[@furleyforever]

To summarize the motion picture industry, basically everything is urgent and rolling with the punches is a prerequisite. Patience is a virtue and a requirement in order to deal with assumptions, incompetence, ego and the ever-changing goalpost known as a project deadline. 😁

[@mylesmeyer8647]

Thank you 🙏

[@nasaboy87]

Watch the Rifftrax live version. You'll thank me.

[@girugaymesh]

Am I gonna be the only fool to admit that Octaman literally scared the absolute shit out of me and gave me nightmares for *at least* 5 years back in the day?

[@theodorefugiel4046]

Standing proud with ya! Never missed a showing of Octaman in the 70s, even though it meant sleeping in my parent's room that night, since I was so terrified the Octaman was going to emerge from the small pond behind our house. Golden memories and still my favorite film!

[@cottercountry1838]

Somebody tell Rogan to try and get tom savini

[@leviathantoobz]

My dogs name is Octaman.

[@derp4616]

American Werewolf......

[@TyRexia]

The amount of mouth noise is killing me.

[@oilyshoes9969]

then don't watch

[@TyRexia]

@@oilyshoes9969 oh I stopped unfortunately. I have only been watching Rogan since 2013 and really wanted to watch this podcast but couldn't sit through it. So a simple comment about the audio is valid.

[@jukodebu]

Same - I thought I dont need to hear everyone swallowing and mouth moisture or lack of

[@paullandis5524]

I’m sorry why is joe interviewing this old queen

[@ryandozier8053]

Paul Landis Ironic. Well, Joe’s stayed that he originally wanted to be a makeup artist like Rick Baker when he was young. Rick has done many movies over the span of his career. I say ironic me Landis and there’s this movie right? Called American Werewolf in London? Directed by Max LANDIS? Star Wars? King Kong? uhhhhhhhhhh

[@seanroy7874]

Dude is a legend. That's why Joe is interviewing him.

[@jg7102]

Mick G. Yes he will be on again speaking facts same as always.
