SHOWNOTES: Welcome back podphiles and cinephiles! As we hinted at previously on our episode featuring The Room, we finally got around to watching and analyzing the 2017 comedic drama/movie-making biopic The Disaster Artist, and we fully admit to nerding out hardcore over this one. As everyone knows, we were huge fans of Tommy Wiseau's legendary so-bad-its-awesome flick, and we could totally feel the sheer love and fandom displayed here by the Franco brothers and every single actor that made this hilarious adaptation of Greg Sestero's and Tom Bissel's landmark peek behind The Room's production. We discuss the journey this story made to be on the silver screen, James and Dave Franco's amazingly adept performances of Tommy and Greg, the uncannily awesome recreations of key scenes from The Room, the many liberties taken with the actual story from the book, and how this movie has become an indispensable companion piece to The Room itself. We hope you join us for our dive into The Disaster Artist, and feel free to leave us a comment and rate/review us! Also, introducing for the first time on this podcast, new host Dakota Chancellor, brother of our own Ashley Chancellor!
