Join us for an exclusive interview with the talented Whitney Moore on Bad Movies Rule! From her iconic breakout role in the cult classic Birdemic to battling zombies, directing her own shorts like "See You Next Tuesday," and landing a spot in A24's The Smashing Machine directed by Benny Safdie—we dive deep into her wild journey through Hollywood's highs, lows, and everything in between. Whitney shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, including vague directing notes like "do the feet", the chaos of low-budget horror sets, and how a bizarre audition dream about Knott's Berry Farm might have sealed her big break. We also geek out over her current role as the chaotic demon warlock Tyranny on Critical Role, her love for metal music (shoutout to Gwar!), and the grit it takes to persevere in the industry.
