We decided on the very first episode to tag our podcast as "explicit" and here's the reason why. Two excellent excerpts from recent Austin Film Festival panels with Harold Ramis, Steve Faber, and Bob Fisher showcase the bluer side of making movies. Plus: another round of the Starmeter game and info on our new blog. John even explains the word "blog" for the uninitiated.
