If this keeps up, we’re going to need a bigger couch. Not one, but two great guest stars join hosts William Bibbiani (CraveOnline), Jenna Busch (Legion of Leia) and Silas Lesnick (ComingSoon) on this week’s episode, so get ready for a very special installment of Most Craved with actor Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness) and director Joe Dante (Gremlins, Explorers)!
Anton Yelchin and Joe Dante are here to talk about their new horror comedy Burying the Ex, which stars Yelchin as a young man whose clingy girlfriend dies, and then returns to menace him and his new flame. Ashley Greene (Twilight) and Alexandra Daddario (San Andreas) co-star in a film that Dante tells us was many years in the making.

And with Joe Dante on the couch, we have to talk about the influence his classic films have had on the contemporary films that audiences are flocking to see, including this week’s biggest release, Jurassic World, which plays an awful like his beloved comedy Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
Also, we get Anton Yelchin talking about his own influences, and the way he incorporates the history of film into his performances. Silent films, Bela Lugosi and the original Star Trek have all been an important element to the characters Anton Yelchin brings to the screen, and now you’re going to find out how.
