About this episode

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Malachi Barton who is currently starring in Zombie 4: Dawn of the Vampires. The Zombies franchise is beloved for not only its infectious music and great dance numbers, but for using supernatural metaphors to tackle so many issues that resonate with viewers. Today, Malachi opens up about what its been like growing up in the public eye, why your self-worth should never be related to your work, joining the beloved Zombies franchise and working with the OGs Milo and Meg, what Milo Manheim has taught him over the years, an alternate ending he liked that got cut from the film, if he was ever supposed to play Red’s brother in the fourth Descendants movie, which Outer Banks star he’s been crushing on lately, future types of projects he would like to be a part of, how he’s worked through some difficult time, something he has never said before, and so much more.
