Show Notes
Dennis visits the Runyon Canyon home and office of filmmaker Randal Kleiser on the eve of his stage directing debut with The Penis Chronicles at the Coast Playhouse in LA. Also on hand is the show's producer Greg O'Connor. Topics include the difference between directing for stage vs. film, finding the right group of Penis people, and whether or not the title character will actually appear in the show. Randal also shares memories from making films like It's My Party, the Blue Lagoon, and the monster-hit Grease. Some Observation Deck questions are also tackled including, "What rookie mistakes did you make on your first job?" Randal's answer to that question is guaranteed to have you in stitches.
