45.2 The Features: The Player, Ed Wood, The Other Side of the Wind, Blonde

Issue 45 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Features. This month our theme is films about films and the film industry. Our Classic is Robert Altman's The Player, our Hidden Gem is Tim Burton's lesser-known Ed Wood, the One That Got Away is the epic tale of Orson Welles trying and failing to make a film about a great director trying to make a film, and our Remake Hatewatch is the hateful Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde. At the end we also talk about a remake we'd like to see, of the promising but botched comedy An Alan Smithee Film:  Burn Hollywood Burn!

 

The latest Double Reel Monthly and Penalty Shootout Film Quiz episodes are already out, and next week we'll bring you the Big Conversation featuring our Third Annual Double Reel Awards.
