Morley is a woman you don’t want to mess with. First of all she’s from New Jersey and as former resident of the Garden State I know from personal experience how tough they make them out there. Secondly she was an actress, I’m not sure of another profession that will thicken your skin faster than professional acting, the constant rejection and disappointment makes it a career path not for the faint of heart. And last but certainly not the least of the reasons to not screw with Jill, she’s a boxer. Jill set out to make a documentary about herself training for the Golden Gloves boxing completion but ending up making a deeply human film about completion and rising above adversity. Her narrative is the spine of the film but we are also introduced to several other female boxers and given their stories of how they found their way to the ring. Full disclosure, I hate fighting. MMA turns my stomach and I’ve never understood why people find boxing entertaining. Professional figh

A Ghost And The Boy With A Box On His Head writer/director/editor/cinematographer Philp Blue chats about his film. Theo, an 18 year old boy who has a shrewd perception on reality, has an encounter with someone from deep within his subconscious; his image of a perfect girl, Sadie, who he has been looking for since he can remember. Unaware that others cannot see her, he is sent to a mental hospital for help as he cannot come to grips with the reality that everyone else super imposes on him. In the hospital with the other patients, Theo goes through an adventure into the depths of his imagination with Sadie, into a place that is hard to return from. 

On this episode we talk about two abandoned films which fortunately for audiences have been chronicled in documentary form. In LOST IN LA MANCHA, we are witness to the start and eventually end of production on Terry Gilliam’s failed film on Don Quixote. And in JODOROWSKY’S DUNE, we get to hear with great passion from the man himself on his film adaptation of the novel DUNE that never got the green light. But first, an even newer release as we got the chance to talk to actor/writer/producer and former NFL player Conrad Goode about his film WATERCOLOR POSTCARDS that you can find now on iTunes and Amazon Prime streaming, and also his involvement in the recent VOD release, an abandoned David O. Russell film that was shot in 2008, ACCIDENTAL LOVE.

All his life, Dan Landsman (Jack Black) has never been the cool guy. That’s about to change – if he can convince Oliver Lawless (Marsden), the most popular guy from his high school who’s now the face of a national Banana Boat ad campaign, to show up with him to their class reunion. A man on a mission, Dan travels from Pittsburgh to LA and spins a web of lies to recruit Lawless. But he gets more than he bargains for as the unpredictable Lawless proceeds to take over his home, career, and entire life. Showcasing Jack Black and James Marsden's most intoxicating performances to date, D TRAIN serves up the question: how far would you go to be popular? Co-starring Kathryn Hahn and Jeffrey Tambor.

Muck director Steve Wolsh chats about his film that is the ultimate love letter to the 12 year old version of me. When I was 12 I would stay up far too late watching movies on cable. This is how I discovered the genre films that became my entryway to the films I love today. At the time I just wanted to see gore and boobs. And to be perfectly honest not in that order. Muck is described on IMDB as: After narrowly escaping an ancient burial ground, a group of friends find themselves trapped between two evils, forcing them to fight, die, or go back the way they came. Muck is a fun movie. Its currently available on VOD and DVD/BluRay, if you have an appreciation for the 80s horror exploitation films give this one a shot.

When Brandy decides to reclaim her life as an actor, the domestic world she's carefully created crumbles around her. Actress is both a present tense portrait of a dying relationship and an exploration of a complicated woman, performing the role of herself as she faces the desires that exist outside of her home.

I'm hesitant to even describe the basic plot of this film in fear that I could possibly lessen the experience of watching it. I'll use IMDB as my spoiler threshold and not go any further than its synopsis but in my humble opinion you should go into this film with nothing more than its title. Just take my word for it and watch it, the film is wonderfully innovative from a visual perspective and deeply touching from an emotional perspective. To describe the film in a word, its beautiful. I emailed Philp Blue immediately after seeing the film even though I had an interview scheduled with him two days later. I wanted to say "thank you" for sending me the screener but mostly I wanted to start talking about the film. I didn't want to wait two days, I wanted to talk about this film immediately.  I remember the conversation I had with some friends after we saw PULP FICTION for the first time. We stood next to our cars for close to an hour and talked about the fil
