“Don’s Plum” is a Wrongtober horror film on two levels. The film itself focuses on the dynamics of toxic masculinity enacted by members of what at the time was known as Hollywood’s “pussy posse”. The events surrounding the film’s non-release tell a different kind of Hollywood horror story, one we explore with producer/screenwriter Dale Wheatley.

Directed by RD Robb. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Macguire, Jenny Lewis, Kevin Connolly, Scott Bloom, Jeremy Sisto, Amber Benson, Meadow Sisto, Marissa Ribisi, Byron Thames, Nikki Cox, Jerry Swindall & Toledo Diamond

How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Andras: For reasons we begin to explore in this episode, “Don’s Plum” has been the victim of a hard to understand campaign to keep US audiences from seeing it. While this campaign may have made some odd sense in 1995, the time has come lift the veil of silence, end the blacklist, and let everyone spend an evening with these “bros” and “bitches” at Don’s Plum in the 90’s. These kids are your parents now.
