Listen Later

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker and actor Jim Cummings (THE WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW, THUNDER ROAD, THE BETA TEST, HALLOWEEN KILLS, BARRY) joins Adam and Joe in the ArieScope studio to share his career journey. From the disastrous screening that lead to him stepping away from directing for several years and the moment that a submerged shopping cart helped him realize that he’d never make a boring movie again… to why so much of writing is actually not writing… to making up for the gap in sex in modern cinema and why he doesn’t hold back on sex or violence artistically… to why he prefers long takes in his story telling… to shooting during the period where the WGA and the agencies were in a stand-off over “agency project packaging”… to meeting his entertainment heroes… to what it was like facing off with “Michael Myers” and whether or not he was really scared… to his OPPENHEIMER audition… to his positive experiences with crowd funding projects… to working on BARRY… making his hilarious new short film IS NOW A GOD TIME? (world premiering at Tribeca) and the joys of making shorts… Jim gets extremely candid and honest about his Hollywood experience.

Dr Arwen provides a short but sweet “Hollywood Therapy” session for a fan who has fallen in love with horror conventions, Adam and Joe steal and eat a famous director’s candy, and the group discusses whether or not a disconnect exists between the industry the media and the audience.
