A favorite on the podcast is 'movies about making movies' and Tim Burton's funny, moving, spot-on 1950's Hollywood cautionary tale/celebration of the business 'Ed Wood' is one of the best. Guesting on this episode is Brad Kane, Co-Show-Runner of HBO Max's forthcoming Stephen King 'It' prequel series 'Welcome To Derry'. Brad's been an actor, director, producer, and writer, and brings such interesting depth, perspective, experience and insight to our wide-ranging conversation about the making of this extraordinary film.
