Al Larson and Quince Van Orden sit down with filmmaker, K. Mykol Panti (Keenan) to discuss Punch Drunk Love, one of Keenan's favorite movies and one that he's placed in his top 30 movies that represent something he sees in himself. We discuss the humor and stress, the earnestness of love and if this movie is awkward or perhaps even "cringe" at moments.
Following our discussion, we chat about Keenan's love of film, his career in filmmaking including his upcoming feature length film, Thin Walls (almost out, go check it out on social media: Thin Walls Movie (@thinwallsmovie) • Instagram photos and videos ) and even play a round of Remake/Reboot for another Adam Sandler movie.

You know what the people secretly yearn for? Musical episodes.
We're joined by LA-based Art and Production Designer, Abbie Vance, known for projects like The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Deadstream and Nine Days, who speaks about the movie that pushed her from a path in film direction & writing to production design - The Phantom of the Paradise (1974).
Aside from her experience with the movie, we have lots of unique trivia to share about The Phantom of the Paradise, even about one of France's most famous bands that credits their aesthetic and start to this movie.
I highly recommend this episode and discussion. Don't miss out.

Al Larson and Quince Van Orden speak with filmmaker and former Broadway actor, Josh Berrent, about one of the films that inspires his own writing and directing, The Apartment (1960). The Apartment is a comedy-drama starring Jack Lemmon as C.C. Baxter, a lonely bachelor who has escalated his position within an insurance company by renting out his apartment for illicit affairs to higher ups until one of these women attempts suicide in his home. We discuss the humor among its heavy drama, Al's controversial opinion about Fran Kubelik and the role this plays in Josh's filmmaking. Unfortunately, due to a technical issue with the recording, our game portion had to be left on the editing room floor, but it's still a great discussion of the film.
