In this episode, Brian and Elric highlight Michael Weldon's amazing and influential book The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film and each choose Five films to discuss from it (though it ends up being more than that). They also use a few clips from friend of the show Bill Ackerman's Supporting Characters podcast interview with Weldon from back in 2022.

For this very special bonus episode, Brian talks to author James L. Neibaur, who literally wrote the book on Director William Beaudine! He has also written more than 30 other books examining legendary actors, filmmakers, and film genres, often exploring them film by film. His subjects include Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, Jean Harlow, Judy Garland, Clark Gable, James Cagney, Clint Eastwood, the Monster Movies of Universal Studios and more, but this discussion is focused on his book Directed by William Beaudine: An Overview. For this bonus, Brian chats with Neibaur about Beadine and his career, in line with the director tribute taking place throughout the month of April at the New Beverly and the Video Archives Cinema Club.

For this special bonus episode, we are posting something we did as a Hangout/Bonus for our Patreon feed where we talked about our Alternate Oscar picks in the tradition of the great book by our hero Danny Peary. We got through almost all the nominated categories and our only rule was we couldn't pick something that had been actually nominated in that category. Lots of room for us to praise/talk about some of our favorites from last year that didnt get as much recognition.

We also have a whole other show called FILM DISCOVERIES that features friends of the podcast talking about movies they've come across and enjoyed in the last year. Check it out!
