Film Junk.com co-host and filmmaker Jay Cheel joins us for an in-depth discussion on the rather remarkable and innovative documentarian Errol Morris. We first interview Jay about his excellent feature-length documentary debut, BEAUTY DAY. In addition, we forgo the What We Watched segment to discuss the documentary genre as a whole and rundown a list of favorites. The main focus of the show is dedicated to Errol Morris' low-key debut GATES OF HEAVEN as well as his more stylish take on eccentric obsessives with FAST CHEAP & OUT OF CONTROL. We expand on a few more Morris films as well.

In two weeks, BadAssDigest.com writer Phil Noble Jr, joins us to talk about the legendary horror master John Carpenter just in time for Halloween. Until next time, please send us your suggestions as well as any comments about Morris or any director we’ve discussed or will discuss on a future episode. Drop us a line if you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire (or despise). Thanks for listening and be sure to check out our updated upcoming schedule in the sidebar to see which directors we’ll be talking about soon! Leave us a voicemail to play on the show at 224-366-9528. Questions are always welcome via email: [email protected]
