Special Report: Adam Rifkin on "Director's Cut"

Special Guest: Adam Rifkin

In this special report of The Projection Booth, we are joined by writer/director Adam Rifkin about the current effort to crowdfund a film written/starring Penn Jillette called Director's Cut.

The film takes our love and knowledge of film, especially the director's commentary, and uses that to create a horror story where the taller, talkative half of the comedy/illusionist duo Penn & Teller gets to play the bad guy of his dreams.
