The Disaster Artist / Ed Wood (1994)
from The Next Picture Show · host Filmspotting
Inspired by James Franco’s new THE DISASTER ARTIST, we look back at another movie about bad movies and the people who make them, Tim Burton’s 1994 comic biodrama ED WOOD. In this half of our discussion, we muse on the motivations driving Wood and Burton alike, locate the emotional core of this highly stylized film, and try to determine what makes a good bad movie, rather than just a plain old bad one. Plus, some feedback on a recent episode and a suggestion for a pairing that might have been.Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ED WOOD, THE DISASTER ARTIST, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. **Show Notes**Outro music: “Que Sera Sera,” by Bill Murray w/Mariachi Band (from ED WOOD deleted scenes).
