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.

The hit movie out of the Sundance Film Festival, DOPE tells the story of Malcolm (Shameik Moore) who is carefully surviving life in a tough neighborhood in Los Angeles.  A chance invitation to an underground party leads him into an adventure that could allow him to go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being himself.  Produced by Forest Whitaker, Executive Produced by Pharrell Williams and Co-Executive Produced by Sean Combs.

Rich people live in a different world than I do. Their actions carry a different weight and the physics of my universe in no way apply to them. I live in a world of consequences and stifled exploration or impulse. We've seen the rich brats behaving badly (pardon the alliteration) story executed in many ways and the part of it that we never really discuss is why we like them. Why are we compelled to watch people who can do whatever they want? Why are we fascinated by these disconnected assholes? What do we like about them? I'm fully convinced that its the things that we hate about them that make them so interesting. That they breathe rarefied air and have no idea what it feels like to sweat a mortgage payment. I wouldn't go as far as to say that we envy them but we do like to project ourselves into their fine Italian leather shoes, to wonder what it would feel like to live without regard or fear. With that lets discus The Riot Club. The film is directed by the brillia...

We go on a writers' retreat with two older films and two sets of dueling writers, Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve in the comedic thriller DEATHTRAP going up against the sexy cat fighting led by Charlotte Rampling in SWIMMING POOL. This duel where the weapons of choice are typewriters and word processors has been inspired by a film new to DVD, Blu-Ray, and various VOD services in LISTEN UP PHILIP.

On this episode we are haunted by Hollywood, much like the characters in David Cronenberg's new film MAPS TO THE STARS. The only way we can see to exorcise these demons is by tackling two of the classics on this subject with Billy Wilder's SUNSET BOULEVARD taking on Robert Altman's THE PLAYER. Wilder. Altman. Cronenberg. The only clear winner in this episode is us.
