Name: The Limey by The Projection Booth
Duration: 2 h 37 min 4 s
Description: The Limey - the 1999 film from director Steven Soderbergh - tells the tale of Wilson (Terence Stamp) - a recently released career criminal from the U.K. who heads to L.A. to figure out what happened to his daughter.

Martial artist and Hollywood actor Bruce Lee passed away a mere month before the release of his breakthrough Gung Fu film Enter the Dragon. Easily dismissed as a remake of Doctor No that rehashed a famous scene from Orson Welles’ The Lady From Shanghai, Enter the Dragon has several puzzling loopholes neither the screenwriter, editor, or director could fix. However, this Hong Kong production cashed in on Lee’s California Connections, his personalized style of Jeet Kune Do, and Lee’s absolute determination to finally make a 'western' film his way. Join Mike White of the Projection Booth Podcast as we go scene by scene and discuss how a forgone tragedy turned into not only the film Bruce Lee is most remembered for, but the seminal martial arts movie for an entire generation.

The Limey - the 1999 film from director Steven Soderbergh - tells the tale of Wilson (Terence Stamp) - a recently released career criminal from the U.K. who heads to L.A. to figure out what happened to his daughter.

The Limey

I interviewed Cory McAbee in December 2011 about the film The American Astronaut.  We also discussed his film Stingray Sam and an upcoming project. 

The full episode is available for download via www.projection-booth.com or via iTunes or Stitcher. 

Cory McAbee - American Astronaut Interview Outtakes

Interviews conducted by Eric Bresler and Mike White of Iris Recht / Yotvat, Joss Ackland, Menahem Golan, George S Clinton, Catherine Mary Stewart, and Coby Recht all about The Apple.

Mike White's questions have been removed.  Most of Eric Bresler's remain.  Pauses and introductory conversations have been eliminated as well as any "off the record" conversation. 

The Apple - Raw Interviews

Some backward masking on Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "Temptation."  Unless I'm nuts it sounds like he says "I'm Satan" clear as day.
