Episode 61 - The Mark of Quality
The end of Touchstone's 1994 slate brings forth one of the best films in their entire catalog: ED WOOD! In this special extended episode, Chad and Mike welcome two of their best friends from college - Mike Meyer and Sean Reynolds - for a roundtable discussion covering many aspects of this beloved entry in director Tim Burton's filmography. From the incredible performances by Martin Landau and Johnny Depp to the stellar writing of Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, the four friends paint a glowing portrait of a motion picture that highlights acceptance and companionship on the fringes of 1950s Hollywood and the studio system. They also touch on the career of Ed Wood himself, who was once labeled as "The Worst Director of All Time" and now stands as a shining example of the spirit of independent filmmaking. I predict...you will enjoy this lengthy podcast!!!
