We are joined by comedian and director Michael Patrick Jann (of The State and Michael Patrick Jann Can’t Direct Traffic) to discuss director Bill Forsyth’s Local Hero. A film where oil tycoon Felix Happer (Burt Lancaster) tells Mac Macintyre (Peter Riegert) to go convince Urquhart (Dennis Lawson) and the other inhabitants of a small Scottish coastal town to sell out. But there’s one problem: the town is too charming!! Etc. If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Russ Meyer’s Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970).
