Episode 272: Barton Fink (1991)

Special Guest: Christopher Murney
Guest Co-Hosts: Adam Schartoff, Rob St. Mary

Also known as "How to Get Ahead in Hollywood," Joel and Ethan Coen's Barton Fink proved a critical darling but a box office failure. The film stars John Turturro as the playwright for the Common Man and John Goodman as his neighbor at the Hotel Earle.

Rob St. Mary and Filmwax Radio's Adam Schartoff return to The Projection Booth to discuss the film.

This episode features the second part of our interview with actor Christopher Murney.

Episode 172: Mother Night (1996)

Special Guests: Robert Weide, Gregory D. Sumner, Mary Kenny

Perhaps the best adaptation of a Kurt Vonnegut work, Mother Night stars Nick Nolte as Howard W. Campbell, Jr. an American playwright whose Nazi broadcasts may have helped America win the war. But, at what cost? Mother Night stars Alan Arkin, Sheryl Lee, Frankie Faison, John Goodman and a great supporting cast.

Also, we'll be talking to screenwriter Bob Weide (who's currently wrapping up a documentary on Kurt Vonnegut), Gregory D. Sumner, author of Unstuck in Time A Journey Through Kurt Vonnegut's Life and Novels, and Mary Kenny, author of Germany Calling A Personal Biography of William Joyce Lord Haw-Haw.

Our special guest co-host is the director and co-producer of Mother Night, Keith Gordon.
