An action-packed hour if ever there was one! Dean and Phil discuss the reading of Phil’s new screenplay, compare notes on their Thanksgiving adventures, weigh in on the SAG strike authorization vote, preview more than a dozen early December film releases, and discuss the Spirit Award Nominations ( indie film’s “Oscars”). They also send out birthday wishes to Phil’s collaborator on Karl Rove, I Love You, Mr. Dan Butler (”Bulldog” on TV’s “Frasier”), who turns 54 years young today (check out the interview we did with Dan Butler in Chillpak Hollywood Hour #63). And if that weren’t enough, they offer several bits of practical advice for indie filmmakers. And Phil gets spanked.

Dean and Phil are off to Olandar tonight for a special reading of Phil’s new screenplay, but before they go, they’ve checked into the offices to record a special birthday episode. Join Dean in helping Phil celebrate as Phil turns The New 30! Dean also catches us up on the latest adventures filming Rough Hustle on location in Nevada. Dean and Phil discuss the James Bond franchise, the “Star Trek” franchise and Twilight. They also briefly touch on the impending Screen Actors Guild strike. Forgive a few occasional glitches in audio quality during the show. They don’t last long and we promise to get to the bottom of things once we sober up from Phil’s birthday celebrations!

The scathing commentary! The ugly truths! Listen and learn who will win the $10 office Oscar pool!

Today on the show, Dean and Phil discuss “There Will Be Blood” in detail (without giving away the ending, of course). Phil reveals what his guilty cinematic pleasure is (Six times, Phil? That’s a lot!). Phil’s most controversial comment ever uttered on these airwaves (or, uh, cyberwaves? Podwaves?). Dean and Phil prep for their Best of 2007 show.

This week, Dean and Phil discuss the importance of word-of-mouth in a TV-less world, Golden Globe nominations, why German Sheppard puppy mills can expect a boom, and why filmmakers should “always follow the model of a film that burns in hell”. Truly, the excitement of the season is upon us!

Ouch! My freakin’ ears! Our most obscenity-laden podcast to date! No more description needed, honestly, cuz’ in this crazy business, dirt sells. Just make sure that the kids and Grandma are out of the room before you listen.

 

As large sections of Southern California burn, Phil and Dean calmly discuss the upcoming Star Trek motion picture. What? Did they just say upcoming Star Trek picture? Who’s in it? What’s the premise? Listen and find out!

Plus, you’ll hear whose homes are threatened by flames. If you hear your name, start packing!

 

It’s the summer of 2007. The summer of ‘07. No, it’s the summer of 007! Dean and Phil go deep into the world of Bond. Enjoy! WARNING: NOT A COMPLETE EPISODE! In fact, it’s only 5 and a half minutes … Finding out what happened to the rest of it is certainly an assignment worthy of … Bond. James Bond.
