The Director Has No Clothes (feat. Josh Spiegel) | Episode 78

If you've seen "The Room," you know it transcends the filmic category of "so bad it's good." There's a sense of tragedy, ambition, and madness all bubbling somewhere in that 2003 cult phenomenon, a phenomenon celebrated and investigated by James Franco's "The Disaster Artist."

This week, with the help of film critic and Mousterpiece Cinema host Josh Spiegel, we dig into three films about movie directors producing real trash, on shoestring budgets and dragging along bands of conspirators. We watched "The Disaster Artist", "Ed Wood," and "Bowfinger" to examine the psyches of directors who maybe should have called "cut" on the whole project.
