You’re listening to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. First I interview the directors and co-stars of The Beta Test, a crackling new comedy of panic set in the double-talking world of Hollywood agents. Then it's the thrilling conclusion of my conversation with writer/critic Bruce Bennett, about the 1961 Japanese mystery/melodrama Zero Focus and bizarro 1975 thriller The 'Human' Factor, starring George Kennedy. The Beta Test screens in this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and comes out in November from IFC Films.
