When naïve film school grad Guy (Frank Whaley) gets the opportunity to be the assistant to Hollywood uber producer Buddy Ackerman (Kevin Spacey), he bites off more than he can chew. Subjected to daily insults and abuse, Guy finally hits a breaking point and decides to get his revenge in this wonderful little indy comedy from 1994. Joe invites his brother Keith back to the show to discuss the worst bosses they’ve ever had, disturbing torture scenes, misleading phone conversations, the lesser known Pwid Quo Ro arrangement, impossible tasks, the cure for baldness, good torture devices/techniques, Buddy’s true intentions, where Shelly Winters’ 3rd Oscar came from, Frank Whaley’s gravity defying hair, and answer that all important Buddy Ackerman question before delving into the guilty pleasures of every single character in the movie.
