\"\"Here’s a podcast with Roger Nygard, the director of Trekkies, Trekkies 2, High Strung <\/em>(w\/Steve Odekerk and Jim Carrey), Back to Back: American Yakuza 2, Suckers<\/em>, and his new documentary The Nature of Existence<\/em>. This hour long podcast covers such topics as how to sell your movie in Japan by adding a vs. to the title, how fans of the new Star Trek<\/em> remake<\/span><\/a> would change the inevitable Trekkies 3<\/em>, why his fiction films are so damning of humanity and yet his documentaries are so non-judgmental, how to trust your judgment about how foolish you may or may not make your subjects look, and why it sometimes takes the Russian mob to get a Jim Carrey comedy financed.<\/p>\n

As per the usual<\/span><\/a>, seeing the films would help your understanding of the podcast, but it’s not a necessity, and you’ll still learn plenty about the low-budget world. Plus there’s a really good story about Elie Samaha.<\/p>\n
