See that guy? That's my good buddy Michael Schlesinger, one of the great authorities on motion pictures and, in his past life as an exec for what is now Sony Pictures, a guy who saved many great films from disappearing forever and got many released on home video. Film buffs in the know were always very happy to hear that some new DVD or VHS release was supervised by or approved by Mike Schlesinger. What's he been doing lately? Well, he was heard along with Yours Truly and a gent named Paul Scrabo on the commentary track of Criterion's release of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. He's also been hosting film festivals and making his own: He is responsible for the wonderful Biffle & Shooster comedies I've mentioned here before and I'm sure he'll be talking about them and many other fun things when he joins another good buddy of mine, Stu Shostak, for today's episode.
Stu's Show can be heard live (almost) every Wednesday at the Stu's Show website and you can listen for free there and then. Webcasts start at 4 PM Pacific Time, 7 PM Eastern and other times in other climes. They run a minimum of two hours and sometimes go to three or beyond. Then shortly after a show concludes, it's available for downloading from the Archives on that site. Downloads are a measly 99 cents each and you can get four for the price of three. Where else can you get a deal like that? Go to your nearby Lexus dealer. Buy three cars and see if they give you a fourth one free. Stu is much more generous.
