Friends, if you like podcasts, you can listen to Kent Hill's show on Cinema Yūgen, where I answer his questions about the progress of Brand X: The Desert Years, and share my battle stories from the front lines of Indie filmmaking. https://t.co/u3IgxmfXTq

Cover by yours truly, but the whole book by director Paul W. Williams is worth it: this book is the key to a hidden passageway into the New Hollywood of the 1970s! You can read the LARB review.

Do you remember the world’s very first nuclear meltdown? That time the US President, an expert in nuclear physics, heroically lowered himself into the reactor and saved Ottawa, Canada’s capital? Sounds like schlocky action movie, but it actually happened!
