1:05:48

Since Charles has been waiting 30 years to see this film I had fairly reasonable expectations. Thankfully this film you can find on YouTube, but that's about the only place you'll see it. You would think in 1993 a film starring Jason Priestley of 90210 fame involving a road trip to Hollywood would be a smash. Welp, that didn't happen. Most of the t…

It's rare that an actor inhabits a role so much that even the people closest to the real Jim Morrison were confused on whether or not it was really him. In the 1991 film by Oliver Stone Val Kilmer became the legendary lead singer of The Doors. I was ultra stoked to talk about this film because I have a real life super fan of The Doors along for the…
