Is Ed Wood worst director of all time? Not a chance says our guest. On today's Struggle Session writer Will Sloan joins us to discuss is new book Ed Wood: Made In Hollywood USA. We talk about the infamous director’s artistic legacy, how his films challenge the concept of “bad” movies, the enduring charm of Plan 9 from Outer Space, and the shockingly progressive Glen or Glenda.

Plus voicemails on brand movies, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Sam Raimi.
