James Franco visits Google to discuss writing, directing, producing and starring in his film "The Disaster Artist.” The movie is based on Greg Sestero's best-selling tell-all book about the making of Tommy Wiseau's cult-classic disasterpiece The Room, often referred to as “The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made”. In the film, Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero become friends after meeting each other in an acting class in San Francisco. Hoping to achieve Hollywood stardom, Sestero moves to Los Angeles and signs on to appear in Wiseau's project. Financed with his own money, Wiseau writes, directs and stars in "The Room," a critically maligned movie that becomes a cult classic. The film also stars Dave Franco, Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. Originally published in December of 2017. Visit http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/ to watch the video.

Oh hi Mark! Well, I guess this was inevitable. You can't have a B movie podcast and not talk about THE ROOM. Tommy Wiseau's magnum opus, if you can call it that. In this episode, we try to psychoanalyze Tommy, and get inside his mind. We wanted to figure out just what the hell he was going for with this movie. I guess that was our first mistake.

Considering how important The Room is to the lives of the Boob Tube Boys/Motion Picture Men, is it any surprise that they were able to talk about it for so long? Today's episode covers the back half of the Tommy Wiseau-led ‘movie' and the guys encounter what could be the greatest couple of scenes ever put to filmThere are angry old ladies, water bottles being flung, a couple of full-blown heel turns, and of course the many, many bizarre costumes, actions and words of an Eastern European man with a dream and a boatload of money to try and make the dream come true. Oh and Denny is still here! So grab your football and your photo of a spoon and tune in!Skit 1 Featuring Lauren Schill: 50:10Skit 2 Featuring Ruan Willow and Lauren Schill: 1:57:10

On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show we'll meet Noah Pink, screenwriter of a new movie called “Tetris,” starring Taron Egerton, and now playing on Apple TV+, that tells the story of how Dutch video game designer Henk Rogers fit the differently shaped pieces of international intrigue and video game creation together to secure the intellectual property rights to popular game. It's a story of international intrigue, the Cold War and of the deep friendship that grew between entrepreneur Henk Rogers and the game's Russian creator Alexey Pajitnov. Then, Gregory Sestero, star of the found footage film “Infrared.” In the film he plays the creepy caretaker of an abandoned schoolhouse. If Greg's name rings a bell, it's likely because you've attended one of the midnight madness screenings of “The Room,” a movie so deliciously awful, it has become a cult favorite since its release in 2003. Gregory turned the experience of making the so-bad-it's-a-hoot movie into a book, which eventually went on to become the Oscar nominated movie “The Disaster Artist,” starring James Franco and Seth Rogen. We talk about “Infrared” and whether or not, twenty years on, if “The Room” is an embarrassment or a source of pride. Finally, we go to the vault to hear a vintage interview I did with Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman. We don't talk superheroes, instead, the actor gets personal, talking about the projects that worked, the ones that didn't and what drives him.

On this week's Richard Crouse Show Martin Freeman stops by. You know the Emmy, a BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Award winning actor from playing Tim Canterbury in the original British series of “The Office.” He was Dr. John Watson in the British crime drama series “Sherlock” opposite Benedict Cumberbatch, Bilbo Baggins in “The Hobbit” film trilogy and will soon be seen in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” reprising the role of Everett K. Ross. Today we'll talk about his newest project, the critically acclaimed police series “The Responder,” now playing on Brit Box. Then, we meet Emmy-award winning documentary filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine who have created a fascinating look at iconic Canadian singer and poet Leonard Cohen called “HALLELUJAH: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song” that uses one of his most famous songs as a starting point. We'll find out why one of Cohen's most famous songs was rejected by his record company and more. Later in the show we'll meet Gregory Sestero, star of a new found footage film called “Infrared.” In the film he plays the creepy caretaker of an abandoned schoolhouse.

Greg Sestero is an actor who starred in one of the worst movies of all time, The Room, directed by Tommy Wiseau. Sestero wrote about his experiences producing and starring in The Room in the book, The Disaster Artist (also made into a feature film comedy where he was played by Dave Franco). For Sestero's latest film as an actor, it's a turn from the unintentionally funny to the intentionally scary with Infrared, a found footage horror movie that will be screened for one night only at Luna Leederville on Friday March 4th. The story concerns a brother-sister pair of ghost hunters and a film crew making a TV pilot episode in a haunted, abandoned high school owned by Sestero's character. Movie Squad'sTristan Fidler talked to star Sestero and the directors Robert Livings (from Perth) and Randy Nundall Jr (from the UK).

O exercício de ver maus filmes pode parecer estranho para muita gente mas temo-lo feito desde o início deste podcast, sem vergonha ou pudor. Há no entanto um espécime que tornou o gozo do cinema campy um pouco mais mainstream e que ainda faltava no nosso repertório. O seu nome é The Room, a inigualável obra do bizarro Tommy Wiseau por muitos apelidado de "pior filme de sempre".O seu amigo e também actor Greg "hi, Mark!" Sestero sobreviveu à rodagem e contou em livro a inspiradora história de bastidores do "mestre do desastre". Não escapámos a sua recente passagem numa sessão do filme no Porto para lhe passar para a mão a nossa "Career Bowl" e descobrir por onde andou antes e depois de The Room.Conversámos ainda com o José Santiago numa flash interview pós galhofa do Passos No Escuro e fomos descobrir que outros cagalhotos dourados do cinema já foram celebrados com a mesma pompa e circunstância por fãs do cinema trash. Tudo isto acompanhado pela voz do convidado e fã número 1 de Wiseau: o podcaster de séries Manuel Reis.

Today's theme : Baseball (2017 KBO League) The KBO League is the highest level league of baseball in South Korea. The KBO started play in 1982 with six teams. Four of them have since changed their names and one has relocated, while the league added four more along the way. Flash forward to 2017, there are 10 teams in the league, all working towards the goal of being one of five playoff teams and winning this fall's Korean Series. >>>The Conversationalist with Cho Seong-min (조성민) sports reporter for tbs efm's morning show This Morning “KBO, or the Korean Baseball Organization League, was launched in 1982. How did Korean baseball changed before and after KBO? What's the importance of Korean Series? In Korea's pro league, teams are affiliated with big conglomerates like Kia, Lotte, Samsung, etc. How does this positively or negatively affect the league?” & Dan Kurtz founder of MyKBO (website about the Korean Baseball Organization, created to help non-Korean speakers learn more about KBO) “Why do you think Korea is one of a few countries where baseball scene is big and famous? There was also a famous match fixing scandal recently - how common is this?” >>>Media Monster The Room The Room is a 2003 American independent romantic drama film starring, written, directed, and produced by Tommy Wiseau. The film is primarily centered on a melodramatic love triangle among an amiable banker named Johnny (Wiseau), his deceptive fiancée Lisa (Juliette Danielle), and his conflicted best friend Mark (Greg Sestero). Sestero's memoir of the making of The Room, The Disaster Artist, was published in 2013 to critical acclaim; a film based on the book, directed by James Franco, is scheduled for release on December 1, 2017. >>>Next week: Personal Finance (in relation to 김생민 KIM Saeng-min's 영수증 Receipt)

Rob and Kai marvel at the mountain of terribleness that is Tommy Wiseau's cult classic The Room. It may be hard to make a great movie, but it's quite possibly far more difficult to create something this bad. Yet, The Room has become an insanely quotable phenomenon spawning a behind-the-scenes book and an in-the-works film adaptation from James Franco. "What a story, Mark" indeed. This special edition of CTP serves as the first "Crooked Commentary" episode, and we're excited to hear your feedback as the show continues to evolve. As usual, the podcast does feature explicit language and, as such, is best considered NSFW. Thanks for listening! Subscribe to the Crooked Table Podcast on iTunes so that you never miss a moment!
