Risk is Their Business: A FREE ENTERPRISE Watchalong
Join film critic Lucas Hardwick and MGO host Alex Greenwood for a movie watchalong episode featuring the sub-cult classic, FREE ENTERPRISE, starring William Shatner. Follow amateur filmmakers and sci-fi geeks Mark (Eric McCormack) and Robert (Rafer Weigel)—based on future Inglorious Treksperts Mark Altman and Robert Meyer Burnett—as they navigate adulthood through "Star Trek" and other pop culture references. When they meet their idol, William Shatner, they find him to be far from the all-knowing, king-of-cool mentor they seek.
On the movie's 25th anniversary, we explore the Saturn Award-winning film’s themes, including the connection between fandom and adult responsibilities, Shatner's career renaissance sparked in large part by the film, surviving a quarter-life crisis, geek culture, the camaraderie and dynamics of friendships, how SWINGERS informed the vibe of this film, and the sheer determination and grit of the filmmakers who actually made a movie with their idol, who says to call him “Bill.”
Risk is our business as we join a fun and insightful discussion with the guys. So gather your beverage and snacks, fire up your DVD player, and prepare to live long and party!

About Lucas Hardwick & Alex Greenwood
When he’s not working as a Sasquatch stand-in for sleazy European films, Lucas Hardwick spends time writing film essays and reviews for We Belong Dead and Screem magazines. Lucas also enjoys writing horror shorts and has earned Quarterfinalist status in the Killer Shorts and HorrOrigins screenwriting contests. You can find Lucas’ shorts on Coverfly.
Alex Greenwood experienced the heart-wrenching unpredictability of the film industry when his debut screenplay project came to an abrupt halt following the producer's untimely death.

Praised for his dialogue, Alex brings a unique voice to mystery, horror, and general fiction.
