Special Guests: Marc Sheffler, Mark Wheaton, Alan Sacks Guest Co-Hosts: Heather Drain, Adam Spiegelman
On this special episode we’re looking at the 1984film from Alan Sacks, Du BEAT-e-o . It’s a movie as unusual as its name. It’s the multi-layered story of a director -- the titular Du Beat-E-O played by Ray Sharkey -- who is given a chore to put together a film about the band The Runaways. At the same time we hear a postmortem of the film as we’re watching it unfold courtesy of a running fictive director’s commentary.
Adam Spiegelman (Proudly Resents) and Heather Drain (Mondo Heather) join Mike to discuss the history of the show as well as one of its participants -- El Duce of The Mentors. Interviews include co-writer Marc Sheffler, musician Mark Wheaton, and director Alan Sacks.
Special Guest: Doris Dörrie Guest Co-Hosts: Adam Spiegelman, Heather Drain
Directed by Doris Dörrie, Me and Him (1988) is based on the novel Two: A Phallic Novel by Alberto Moravia and stars Griffin Dunne as Bert Uttanzi, a man who has a very active relationship with his penis. On the day of his 35th birthday he begins hearing directly from his penis, voiced by Mark Linn-Baker. Bert is an architect who’s trying to get his plans for a new marina built. He’s overly dedicated to his work while his penis tries to get him to care more about the carnal pleasures in life.
The film's producer, Bernd Eichinger, also produced last week's film, Heaven: The Story of a Murderer.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, it's a story of Reagan-era morality and economics gone wild, Eating Raoul (1982) put "cult filmmaker" Paul Bartel on the map with a surprise mainstream hit about Paul and Mary Bland, two Puritanical folks who kill swingers for cash to fulfill their "American Dream."
We speak to screenwriter Richard Blackburn, actresses Mary Woronov and Susan Saiger as well as the musician behind the Eating Raoul musical, Jed Feuer.
