Flesh & Blood & Bone Podcast: My Dad's Start Into SFX Makeup

In today's episode, Kyra and Tony Gardner discuss Tony's pathway into special effects. Tony reflects on growing up in Ohio, what the film industry looked like at the time, and moving to California to attend USC (which he would later drop out of). They discuss his out of the box tactics in breaking onto the Universal Studios lot, hunting down legendary FX artist Rick Baker in the Yellow Pages, and how it all led to his very first job as a special effects shop runner in the end for a little music video called Michael Jackson's Thriller.
