We're taking a detour this week to talk about some Paul Schrader projects that never made it to the screen - the Montreal-set gangster film QUÉBECOIS!, the Elio Petri remake INVESTIGATION, psychedelic murder mystery THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION, film festival-set stage plays Berlinale and The Cleopatra Club, biopics EIGHT SCENES FROM THE LIFE OF HANK WILLIAMS and GERSHWIN, and the Bret Easton Ellis-scripted shark thriller BAIT.

We read PDFs so you don't have to! Unless you want to, in which case they're linked below.

Ian also makes a medium-exciting discovery about one of the screenplays he read...listen to find out what the h--- we're talking about.
