On this PMT minisode, host Laura Petro starts a new segment 'Cutting Room Floor' where she discusses movies that actually got made and for one reason or another, never made it to release. On this episode she talks about the rise and fall of the blacklisted 90's Don's Plum, a black and white indie movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. Joining her on the episode to talk in depth about what went wrong is none other than producer of the film Dale Wheatley.

In a land before time, a permanent night has fallen over the valley of the People Who Live By The Lake after smoke from the nearby, long dormant volcano fills the sky. Something must be done to preserve their way of life and bring back the sun.

Strange beasts, rivers of lava, clouds of ash, and a mysterious, brutal guardian, all await to make sure Tag and Vee never make it to the top and the night lasts forever.StarringSpencer D BlairRichard BrassealeLaura PetroLevi ShraderHobert ThompsonWith Liz Fitzgerald as VeeAnd Kristin Phillips as Tag

Hobert sits down with his friends Justin and Mike to watch Deadly Prey, a terrible action film from 1987. Muscles are on constant display in this guns’n’traps dumbing down of Rambo. Danton, an unkillable soldier who fought in the Vietnam War and now lives a simple life napping and taking out the trash for his wife, is kidnapped by a group of California mercenaries who take civilians off the street to hunt in the woods north of San Fransisco. Unfortunately for the mercenaries, Danton was trained by their leader to be the ultimate hunter, and he kills them all one by one because they love running through the forest single file. Yeah, this is the dumbest possible Rambo.

It’s a new year at the popular Midwest attraction, Ye Olde Time Fun Zone, and the knights of the realm are gathered once again to run the rides, games, and stunt show that make the park a hit with families. The Kings, the adorable older couple that own the park, have new ideas for the year that, while VERY similar to existing fantasy properties, are legally safe homages, and in no way infringing on any trademarks or copyrights…probably. Can Summer romance bloom in this land of fair use enchantment? Can Sir Ron, with the help of his stoner companion, win the hand of Princess Jane? Or will the machinations of jealous exes ruin a storybook romance for the ages?StarringSpencer D BlairGwen HopeZak KinnairdForestt Strong LaFaveLaura PetroRebecca ShromHobert ThompsonWith Bayley Pokorny as RonAnd Hana Christenson as Princess JanePoster by Jess Fang

Death has always been a big part of Carson’s life. Really, it’s a big part of everyone’s lives since everyone knows exactly when and how they are going to die. When it’s time for you to know, a mysterious call center calls to inform you of your upcoming demise. For many people, this information gives them a sense of purpose and drive. People organize lavish “Last Day” parties for their friends and family, enjoy extreme sports, and become closely connected to the people who are part of (or responsible for) their deaths. Unlike many people, Carson’s fate keeps changing. Left guessing what the end of his story will be, he lives his life navigating a world of certainty, uncertain of when his last call will be.StarringSpencer D BlairChris JordanCass OstranderOlivia PerryLaura PetroHobert ThompsonWith Miles Potter as TedAnd Andreas Aristides as CarsonPoster by Jess Fang
