The Actors Jerkoff

in this ep- Odie and Arista discuss Arista losing her David Lynch virginity to one of his incredible works, Mulholland Drive. We walk throught he movie step by step with Arista's reaction notes, and Odie's famous bad segues and fun facts.Synopsis:"Mulholland Drive is a 2001 neo-noir mystery film written and directed by David Lynch. It follows an aspiring actress (Naomi Watts) who arrives in Los Angeles, where she befriends a woman (Laura Harring) who is suffering from amnesia after a car accident. Several other vignettes and characters are shown, including a Hollywood director (Justin Theroux) who must deal with mafia interference while casting his latest film."

how did Odie and Arista even get that close? Editor Odie is more in the trenches than ever? A Bjork impression? Talks about great experimental independent works? Reexplaining the plot of a short film 3 times because we kept getting distracted? Yup! That's the Sam Calaway interview for you! Honestly, This was the most circling back we've ever done, and I made the executive decision to leave most of it in for you all. Enjoy!"See You Around" - a Sam Calaway short film (the latest and greatest!) https://youtu.be/YZnOfd1Vx_U?si=F6Rstn6jiciJE4i7"Pineapple Man" - Presley Christman https://youtu.be/2_a91pVQAtc?si=_ln2Bet8DwtjbkSs(watch out for "Stevens Point", a Sam Calaway original starring Arista, Odie, and music by Presley Christman!

Including discussions of debut (or very early career) performances from Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye-Leitch, Joshua John Miller, and iconic career defining performances for Don Hopper and Crispin Glover. The summary is as follows: 'Teenage burnout Samson (Daniel Roebuck) has murdered his girlfriend and left her naked body lying on the bank of a river just outside their small California town. He not only doesn't run away, he brings his friends to gawk at her dead body. Speed freak Layne (Crispin Glover) tries to force the teens' silence to protect their friend, but conscience is gnawing at the others -- particularly Matt (Keanu Reeves) and Clarissa (Ione Skye Leitch), who want to go to the police.' Tune in to hear our thoughts on Rivers Edge!
