American Movie

Pour yourself some peppermint schnapps and make sure everyone has brown gloves because today we are talking about Chris Smith's wonderful documentary from 1999, American Movie. Mark Borchardt wants to make movies, and nothing will stop him. We talk about feeling stuck, late night talk shows, walking the line between honesty and mockery, relating to creative people, Uncle Bill and the amazing Mike Schank.  Check out Josie's short film GOATS Ad-free versions of all of our episodes are available on our Patreon When you sign up you also get access to our bonus shows, Discord server, decoder ring, shout out on the show AND you get to vote on monthly episodes and themes.
