Film School Sucked

Welcome to a special episode of Film School Sucked. We were lucky enough to sit down and speak with the actor turned comic book writer David Dastmalchian. With the release of his first comic Count Crowley: Reluctant Monster Hunter, we spoke to him on his love of genre storytelling, his history as a character actor is some of Hollywood's biggest films, and his overall experience in the film industry.

"Haven't You Seen?" continues with Lea's selection – not to mention the potential subject of her future doctoral dissertation - "Mad Max: Fury Road." Recognized as one of the best films of the 21st century and ranked among the greatest action movies of all time, "Mad Max: Fury Road," is something of a phenomenon. One may wonder, what can be gained from the resurrection of a 1980's, post-apocalyptic action series about a madman on the road trip from the bowels of Hell itself? Evidently, a frightfully powerful feminist narrative, a blunt-force attack of capitalist ideals, and a harrowing reminder of how rapidly and absolutely we are killing the planet. Buckle up! No, seriously.

How different would the world be if we made movies like we used to: if neon lights illuminated the dusty nights of Los Angeles; if rising stars were left innocent and untouchable; if people risked their very lives for a stunt or a shot; and women kept their mouths shut... The ninth installment of Tarantino's directorial saga, "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood," curates an enraptured, and bloody, letter to the Hollywood of the 1960's. Through the cracking veneers of a fading Hollywood Superstar, Rick Dalton, and his long-time friend and employee Cliff Booth, Tarantino weaves a fantasy of his lost love: Hollywood, as he thinks it should be.
