Has there ever been a more wild and free-wheeling grab bag of topics on a single installment of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour as there is on this week’s show? Consider the topics discussed:

The mysterious death of Thomas Kinkade, the occult meaning of words and symbols, Dean Haglund running a 5K race, the legacy of Mike Wallace, the films of Guy Maddin, the latest in the MPAA’s battle with The Weinstein Company over the rating of Bully. All that, plus your friends in podcasting weigh in on a documentary about Comic-con, a Woody Allen drama, a John Cassavetes classic, two great, award-winning independent films from last year (one from the UK, one from South Korea). And on top of all of that, we even have a brand new theme song by The B-Film Extras! 

Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness bring you movie chat from the inner workings of Hollywood’s indie film machine.

Today’s Topics: Dean comments on a documentary he saw at the Silver Lake Film Festival called Improbable Collapse, and Phil reports on a “star” ceremony in Palm Springs, an addition to their Walk of Fame.

The guys also talk about Spiderman 3, Waitress, the MPAA and the history of the X rating, gaming the ratings board, and art vs commerce vs freedom of expression.

And, oh yeah… they don’t accept screenplay submissions, just finished films.
