In this episode, we head into our last topic for the year and to have a little fun, we’re going to be talking about movies about making movies. It all starts with Dustin’s pick as he brings us our yearly dose of the world of Sion Sono with his yakuza send-up comedy epic Why Don’t You Play in Hell? from 2013. Dustin charts the amazing star-studded cast. Jason gives praise for the film’s heart regarding the dying art of classic filmmaking. But before all that, a special music video for the holidays was sent our way and we want to share it with you. And so much more!
