October 01 INTERVIEW - The Hollywood Dreamscape of Screamplay
A 16mm Hollywood dreamscape co-starring George Kuchar and released by Troma, SCREAMPLAY fell through the cracks when it was first released in 1984. Now, this psychotronic oddity is finding its audience in a new restoration from Muscle Distribution and Matchbox Cine. On this interview episode, Will talks to writer/director Rufus Butler Seder and Muscle Distribution founder Elizabeth Purchell.

August 13 INTERVIEW - The Radical Cinema of Robert Kramer, with Whitney Strub
In the late 1960s, when a wave of revolutionary fervor swept the globe, many international filmmakers asked what role cinema could play in activating social and political change. In America, that filmmaker was Robert Kramer. But though his films like ICE (1970) and MILESTONES (1975) are key documents of their time, he has largely been excluded from American film history. On this interview episode, Will talks to Whitney Strub about his new book "Films That Explode like Grenades: Robert Kramer and the Search for a Radical Cinema."
