Here’s a podcast with Tim League, creator and CEO of The Alamo Drafthouse and Fantastic Fest. This was recorded around November 2010 and the interview was initiated because Tim and Alamo Drafthouse Films were putting out Chris Morris’ Four Lions as their first film. You can hear my interview with Chris Morris here. This very weekend, Drafthouse Films is releasing Miami Connection, a goofy kung fu film that had been thought lost since its original 1987 release.

Tim and I also discuss his involvement as producer on Red, White, and Blue, continuing the conversation lead actress Amanda Fuller and I had about its thematically erratic ending, his contribution to the trailer compilation series 42nd Street Forever, Vol. 5: Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, how to run a repertory theater (a lot of which came in handy when I ran Medium Rare Cinema), hyperbolic critics, genre dishonesty, and a true dissection of a term I created, Phony Whiteboy Nihilism. As per the usual, there are going to be references to things that seem out of nowhere, such as the opening discussion of the trailer for the Sonny Chiba film The Bodyguard. I have posted the trailer for that film and for Lucky Seven below (which will help with my reference to a Wonder Bread robe). On top of that, I put together a musical montage that details the clientele type at the Alamo Drafthouse, made up of footage from the promotional extra on their 42nd Street Forever disc. That’s the very first video you’ll see after the podcast link. Note that the “Grindhouse” film effects were on the original material, and have not been digitally added by me.
