This was my entry into KCRW's 5ht annual Pie Contest. It's my own recipe, USHITORA SHEPHERD'S PIE.
Mince meat is Grass Fed Oxtail and ground chuck. Oxtail was braised for 10 hours in Bacon Dashi, Red Trolley IPA, and my patented Sri Racha Soffrito. Mash was actually Cauliflower and Parsnip Puree, with Mozarella cheese and Panko bread crumbs up top.

I've googled around but this seems to have truly escaped the internet. If anyone stumbles across a copy please let me know
The best part was that in the script it was super obvious that BKV was casting as he was writing. Ricky Gervais was clearly going to be the alcoholic former olympic pole vaulter, Simon Pegg was written as the Botanist, and Seth Rogen was clearly going to be Merlin. Pretty sure Idris Elba was going to be a character too.
I just finished listening to this, and for me this was a super fun episode to record. There were three end of year mixtape highlights for me.
I really enjoyed it.
ROUNDTABLE was a Blacklist script, same year as THE MUPPET MAN, but I lost my copy. SMOKE & MIRRORS I only had in dead tree version back in 2000. Preacher is a comic book which you can just go buy right now.
1) SMOKE & MIRRORS: A famous spec that featured a Steampunk TOny Stark-ish interpretation of famed Magician Houdin, who's hired by the French government to discredit an Arabic rebel leader who's convinced his army that he's a living deity. And that's just the first 20 pages.
2) ROUNDTABLE: Brian K Vaughn's outstanding script features a resurrected Morganna LeFey returning to terrorize modern day england. An immortal, World of Warcraft playing Merlin must assemble England's modern day Knights to confront her. Except England's modern day Knights are a Botanist, an alcoholic former Olympian, and Michael Caine, playing Michael Caine.
3) PREACHER. Garth Ennis dark comedy graphic novel series has been in development for years. Jesse Custer is a Texas Preacher undergoing a crisis of faith when he is merged with a powerful Angel/Demon hybrid. Now he has a new mission: Find God, and kill him.
Pretty sure this will be next ep of Documentality along with Overnight. Theme: Storytelling.
Tait was actually a contestant on season 3 of Ultimate FIghter too. Hell of a half guard.
My friend (and gal who introduced me to my wife) Megan Duffy as "Red Headed hooker who blows Elijah Wood," in Maniac
No fucking way is my kid doing that. And he's a beast on an iPad. But fuck this noise.
STORIES WE TELL.
I've become a huge fan of Sarah Polley as a director, but I had no idea she was capable of a doc as personal and nuanced as this. I don't want to say much, other than to say that the good in the film eclipses the logline by about a light year.
THe big bald motherfucker in Jack's crew is my old training partner/guy who used to choke the hell out of me, Tait Fletcher. In addition to all his stunt work (He was in the Avengers too) he owns a CrossFit box and manages 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu: Sante Fe. He coached last seasons THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER winner Kevin Gastellum. On top of that, he's a hell of a guy.
And Im a pretty light drinker, so largely Zap, you're scheduling your own intervention.
Im down.
I've talked to a few people who have read the script, and the universal takeaway is that its the drizzling shits.
There's a scene where they're in R&D on what the Robocop design will be, and they focus group it for....13 year olds. They show them a screen with the original iconic Robocop suit and one of the kids goes "That looks stupid! Like something out of the 80's!"
Also, I want to create an online wager of how long Trey would make it through enter the void. I say he either turns it off after the credits, or e rematches it three times. No in between.
Relistening to this now.
I'd like to point out that Eddie says "Your first 8 minutes should say 'This is the ride. This is what you're in for.'" And yet he claimed on Twitter to hate the saying "If nothing happens in the first reel, nothing's going to happen."
WHY DO YOU HATET IT EDDIE IS IT JUST BEACUSE THE WORDS ARE DIFFERNT? THATS RACIST
I'd also like to point out that Pest would have gotten gunk on himself when he shook the female at the girls and yet doesn't become the target of the creatures.
ALSO, I think it's cute that Teague 1) thinks British kids might not have experience riding bikes on wet streets and 2) thinks the DP needed to wet the streets of London to make it look cool.
To clarify, I think your first 8 minutes should establish who your main character is, an idea of why they're that way, and a sense of what kind of journey they're going to go on. This is not to be confused with the need for a major set piece or bit of mayhem. Your first 8 minutes can be pretty uneventful and still accomplish this. The first 8 of Officer and a Gentleman, relatively little happens. It's Richard Gere waking up from a Hooker binge with his dad and a couple flashbacks to childhood. You don't even meet Louis Gossett Jr. But it gives you what you need about Mayo as a character and what he's in for. Shit, even ENTER THE VOID accomplishes the same thing.

I have a LOT to say on LXG.
Rocket Raccoon>Wolverine.
I'm out of town this weekend (Operation: ROMANCE) but sometime during the week, I'd like to see it.
As an aside, I tweeted that Paul and I were about to see Act of Killing and Drew McWeeny from Hitfix wrote me, "Brace yourselves. It's going to hurt."
I've never quite seen anything like Act of Killing. I also don't know of how you could get that level honesty out of people in another environment or circumstance.
Blackfish looks amazing. I know he and I had different reactions to Act of Killing, which we'll talk about on the show.
As a matter of fact, I'll go see Blackfish and we'll do the feel bad trilogy as an ep.
