Andrew Nette, El Goro, and Mike have no failure in communicating about Stuart Rosenberg's 1967 film, Cool Hand Luke. Based on the novel by Donn Pearce, the film stars Paul Newman as the titular Luke. He’s a former war hero who cuts the heads off of some parking meters and gets tossed onto a chain gang for his crimes. There he joins a host of colorful convicts and sinister bosses mostly played by character actors.
We discuss the film and the book as well as highlighting some of Rosenberg's other directorial efforts.
Mike talks with writer/director Jeff Lieberman about his memoir, Day of the Living Me: Adventures of a Subversive Cult Filmmaker from the Golden Age. The book is full of great behind-the-scenes stories of Lieberman's films (Squirm, Blue Sunshine, Just Before Dawn, Satan's Little Helper, etc.) as well as some other amazing tales.
Mike and Mondo Justin get wacky with the whacked-out comedy Wacko from Projection Booth favorite Greydon Clark. Live from the floor of HorrorHound Weekend we talk to Clark about the making of Wacko, the early days of Andrew "Dice" Clay, and his friendship with Joe Don Baker.
Mike also talks to Zack Carlson about the book Destroy All Movies, the definitive guide to punks on film.
