JOE SOAP 'Seconds'...about time. Although I think it has more in common with 'The Game' than any of the more literal comparisons you mention.Rob St. Mary Joe, Agreed! I was going to bring up "Fight Club" as well as "The Game". CHEERS! Rob St. Mary co-host of "The Projection Booth"
Anonymous Wow... Right after listening to this episode I read a completely unrelated article that lists SECONDS as a film booed at Cannes! Never knew that. Source- (http://www.indiewire.com/article/why-do-films-get-booed-at-cannes-new-bam-series-investigates)
