Novelist and screenwriter (Legend, Angel Heart) William Hjortsberg gives us the scoop about writing his voluminous tome on Richard Brautigan, Jubilee Hitchhiker: The Life & Times of Richard Brautigan. The book is an exhaustive look at one of the most fascinating and under-rated writers of the 20th Century.

Let's get into trouble, baby! It's time to look at the 1988 film Tapeheads starring John Cusack, Tim Robbins, and a whole heck of a lot of other people in remarkable cameo roles (Mike Nesmith, Jello Biafra, King Cotton, Susan Tyrell, Courtney Love, etc). Follow as Josh (Robbins) and Ivan (Cusack) form Video Aces, a video production company that makes its bones shooting funerals, pet seances, wills, commercials and, inevitably, music videos.
Mike talks to the Tapeheads director Bill Fishman and co-writer Peter McCarthy. Along for the ride this week is commentator Skizz Cyzyk, a real live video ace.
