Chris Stachiw made the mistake of continuing the Kulturecast tradition of allowing Mike to program a full month of movies for his show. For 2023, Mike chose to look at four films directed by Milos Forman that he had never seen -- Black Peter, Taking Off, Valmont, Goya's Ghosts -- along with one of his favorites, Ragtime.
Special Guests: Michael Weller, Miles Chapin Guest Co-Hosts: Gil Kenan, Lee Gambin
Gil Kenan and Lee Gambin join Mike to discuss Milos Forman's Hair (1979), an adaptation of the groundbreaking stage play from 1968. It’s the story of Berger (Treat Williams) and his friends who meet and interact with Claude Hooper Bukowski (John Savage), a hayseed who’s on his way to Vietnam by way of a trip to New York City to see the sights before heading off to war.
Special guests include actor Miles Chapin and screenwriter Michael Weller.

On this special episode of The Projection Booth, Mike talks to Helena Trestíková (aided by the film's rep, Daniel Vadocký) -- half of the directing team behind the 2019 documentary Forman Vs. Forman -- about her life in occupied Czechoslovakia, her 45 year career as a documentary filmmaker, and the importance of Milos Forman.
On this special episode of The Projection Booth, Kevin Heffernan and Samm Deighan join Mike to discuss Milos Forman's Loves of a Blonde (1966). A mix of professional and non-professional actors, the film tells the tale of Andula (Hana Brejchová), one of hundreds of women that work in a factory who is introduced to an "eligible male" via a government-sponsored dance.
The track was originally produced for Second Run as the audio commentary for their A Blonde in Love blu-ray release.
Filmmaker Greg Travis discusses his career from his days doing stand-up, to his acting (Watchmen, Starship Troopers, Showgirls), and the 30 years-in-the-making Dark Seduction.
