Special Report: Don's Plum (2001)

Special Guest: Dale Wheatley
Guest Co-Hosts: Andrew J. Rausch, Mike Sullivan

Bro, on this special episode of The Projection Booth we're looking at the 2001 movie from R. D. Robb, Don's Plum. The film remains officially unreleased in the U.S. while available legally in other parts of the world. It stars a group of young actors known as "The Pussy Posse" including Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio. It's about a group of guys who bring their dates to the titular diner where they talk, boast, and engage in bathroom-bound monologues.

Mike Sullivan (Shock Cinema, Cinema Sewer) and Andrew Rausch (My Best Friend's Birthday: The Making of a Tarantino Film) join Mike to boast, debase women, and talk about the history of the film. Producer Dale Wheatley provides insights from behind-the-scenes.

Scott Reynolds's, Heaven (1998) is a New Zealand film that features crime, sex, and the supernatural. It's the story of our titular Heaven (Daniel Edwards), a transsexual, precognitive stripper who works for a violent member of the underworld, Stanner (Richard Schiff). Moreover, it’s the story of gambler Richard Marling (Martin Donovan>), his wife and her lover, a psychiatrist. And, believe it or not, both of those storylines are all tied together into one larger piece.

Filmmakers Spencer Parsons and David Kittredge discuss the film with Mike. Actors Daniel Edwards and Jeremy Birchall discuss the making of Heaven while author Chad Taylor talks about the inspiration for his book and revisiting the characters in The Church of John Coltrane.
