Podcast show notes: Reel Talk No. 6
October 21, 2007
Editor’s note: This is a summary of the sixth episode of our film podcast, “Reel Talk.” Listen to the podcast here.
On this episode, we discuss the lost American icon of the drive-in theater. Should the drive-ins on Bradshaw road be torn down? Hear about one host’s experience with stray dogs during his last visit there.
We cover the movie industry’s love affair with the quick buck and cheap directors. Is the industry wasting its money spending more and more to get lower-quality scripts?
We cover a list of people whose stage names should prohibit them from working in the film industry: If your name is McG or Sticky Fingaz, you should never be allowed to work in the industry.
There are a couple token indie directors the industry will pull out there once a year for a vindicated indie movie. Find out how major film studios package these movies to make them seem more “independent.”
Visit bekindmovie.com to view the trailer for a film where Jack Black and Mos Def try to recreate lost movies by re-enacting them.
Listen to one host proclaim “I’m a little girl” in French. He learned it from Muzzy, who can be found here.
