This week we are back at the Fright Night Film Fest/FandomFest with more crazy stories from our table, plus we interview our special guest - director Albert Pyun (The Sword and the Sorcerer, Cyborg, Captain America)! Plus he sits in for our Sofa Theater feature: 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Plus in between the times Robert Carradine keeps bum rushing the mic, we discuss\\u2026 Dar when he was younger, Asian-American directors, having a Captain America tattoo, a boring season of True Blood, bending the program around your head to mimic Cinerama, a gaggle full of hot guys, a slave to the comic book, The Misfits, Igor, Godard films, slammin\\u2019 nurses, Jean Claude Van Damme\\u2019s dad and Charlie Sheen\\u2019s mom, I swear to god if I hear that Pokemon theme song one more goddamned fucking time, the cheesy Nacho cheese joke, there was no place to develop film on the island, Wizards of Waverly Place, Jennifer Garner, you can\\u2019t buck the system, without paying a price, Parker Lewis Can\\u2019t Lose, Edward Furlong, directing vs. making movies, more die talk, there\\u2019s gonna be a throw down, Boba Fatt, whatever kind of weird porn you got - there\\u2019s a nitch for it, the smack down that almost went down, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, working with Darren McGavin, John Carpenter just winked at me, you can\\u2019t quit on your first film, the dawn of man is also the dawn of cinema, Electrolux, working with Dennis Hopper, having no respect for actors that were on Wings, that\\u2019s one of those costumes - you don\\u2019t put it on, you pour it on, Captain America in Yugoslavia and our weekend of adventures with Tiffany Shepis.

Spoiler Alert: Can you spoil 2001 if you still haven\\u2019t figured it all out? Either way, possible spoiler alert.

\\u201cI think the great advantage Kubrick had, beyond the strength of vision and the will that he had\\u2026was that he didn\\u2019t have to cast Steven Seagal.\\u201d
