In southern California, just outside Hollywood, there is a most unusual hotel.  A hotel dedicated to the golden age of cinema and the departures of its most influential and notorious players.  It is a destination that spotlights the manners in which these men and women of Hollywood perished.  The rooms are decorated with an array of evidence and clues, unique to each death, and fitted with a cast of department store manikins which stand in for the major roles involved - Forensic precision made kitschy and accessible to all.  Each episode we will present to you one of these rooms, and rouse your imagination with its spellbinding story.  Welcome to...
THE SWAN HOTEL

On Sup Doc comedians Paco Romane and George Chen interview INTERESTING PEOPLE with STRONG OPINIONS about their FAVORITE DOCUMENTARIES.  
Truth is greater than fiction. 
The idea behind this documentary podcast started when Paco sat down to watch all of the PBS 100 best documentaries.  He particularly loves the slice-a-life-weird-americana types of docs: Brothers Keeper, MarJoe, Kid Stays In The Picture, Hoop Dreams, Grizzly Man etc. Every morning he’d watch one or two of these documentaries and afterwards he wanted to hear people and filmmakers discuss them. But after searching for a podcast devoted to discussing documentaries and interviewing people that love and make them he came up empty.  So he contacted his buddy George Chen a fellow documentary lover and together they started Sup Doc.
