This episode was a lot of fun. Dan & Michael sit down with Nathan Karimi and David Christopher Pitt, the two 'tell like it is' filmmakers behind the upcoming feature length film, Oscar.Tango. Hellwater.
Oscar. Tango. Hellwater. is a horror re-imagining of William Shakespeare's Othello. This film was shot almost entirely in Blackwater, MO. Nathan Karimi (Writer/Director) and David Christopher Pitt (DP/Editor/Colorist) give us all the behind the scenes details from Nathan getting fired from his job as a teacher for writing scripts on the job to some horrors stories of development hell from other projects. We learn about their decision to take matters in their own hands with Oscar.Tango. Hellwater.
In this episode, we talk budgets, scriptwriting, directors fighting for their ideas, visual style, and so much more. Just a word of warning, there is some cursing in this episode. A few links to things mentioned in the episode:

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
