Full Cast And Crew

The Full Cast and Crew Podcast loves searching for that perfect, telling anecdote or soundbite from a writer, director, actor, or crew member as we revisit the films of our shared 70s and 80's childhoods with an appreciation for the cinematic arts and without pretension or annoying fan-boy antics. Proudly independent and advertising-free.

  1. 227. 'Caddyshack' (1980)

    SEASON 1, EPISODE 227 TRAILER

    227. 'Caddyshack' (1980)

    'Caddyshack', it turns out, is kind of a miracle of last-minute producer-led stitching together and salvaging, resulting in one of the more quotable films in comedy history.   Hard to believe that at the time, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Rodney Dangerfield were not yet the massive film stars they'd become as a result of this movie.   This episode delves into the coke-fueled nonstop party that was this film's production, a production that would contribute to the untimely death of co-writer Doug Kenney on a cliff in Hawaii where he'd gone to dry out.  Doug's death was one of the first casualties of this scene due to drugs, soon followed by John Belushi's.   LINKS: Watch Caddyshack: https://youtu.be/ROfwYphXTC4?feature=shared&t=67   Great Book on Guber and Peters:  https://www.amazon.com/Hit-Run-Peters-Peter-Hollywood/dp/0684809311     More on Peters:  John Schnepp's The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFNJ-9EVe74   Chris Nashawaty's book Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story   https://www.amazon.com/Caddyshack-Making-Hollywood-Cinderella-Story/dp/1250105951

    225. Val Kilmer: I'm Your Huckleberry

    An episode in memoriam of Val Kilmer, who died this week. Mentioned in this episode: 'Val', the excellent, moving, insightful, thoughtful documentary compiled from decades of Val Kilmer's home movies. 'Tombstone' is many people's favorite Kilmer film. 'Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's The Island of Dr. Moreau' is a fantastic making-of-a-trainwreck documentary about one of the most hilariously troubled film sets in Hollywood history. Watch 'Heat'. It's always good for you. Enjoy Val as Gay Perry in Shane Black's 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'. One of the best 80's comedies is 'Real Genius'. Read the Digital Renegade newsletter.

  4. 224. Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess w/Author Charles Fleming

    APR 2

    224. Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess w/Author Charles Fleming

    Don Simpson was one-half of one of the most successful production partnerships in Hollywood history. His reality-distortion-field helped bring about films like Flashdance, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, The Rock, Crimson Tide, and Days of Thunder, films that collectively grossed more than $3 billion dollars. Don Simpson's life is a cautionary tale with an ignominious ending forever ensconced in Hollywood history. His appetite for drugs, prostitutes, plastic surgery, black Levi's 501 jeans (worn once and discarded), wrecking Porsches, pharmacology, peanut butter, and pizza got the best of him at age 52. Listen in for the outrageous tale of how a pudgy kid from Alaska talked his way into transforming big-budget Hollywood blockbusters for a new decade. LINKS: Buy my guest Charles Fleming's definitive book about Hollywood in the 80's, High Concept: Don Simpson and the Hollywood Culture of Excess. Don & Jerry on Charlie Rose, less than a year before Don's death. A pretty good but exploitational multi-part tv documentary about Don Simpson. Now-cancelled Hollywood gadfly James Toback's 'The Big Bang', starring Don.

    223. 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' (1979 BBC Series)

    What does it say about your favorite podcast host that he considers the 1979 BBC adaptation of John le Carre's seminal espionage novel 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' to be COMFORT VIEWING?? Nonetheless, as Smiley would say, there we are. In this episode, curiously one in which I am still totally unresolved as to how best to approach this series in episodic fashion, I explore the myriad genius aspects of the production.
