Lynn Shelton (Humpday) Talks with Bobcat Goldthwait (Call Me Lucky) for The Talkhouse Film Podcast

Two new Twitter buddies take their friendship to the next level by having a Skype chat about their work (and zombie fetuses and butt tattoos).

2:00 AM EDT on October 27, 2015

On this latest episode of the Talkhouse Film podcast, in conversation are two former actors who are now two of the funniest and liveliest writer-directors in the U.S. indie sphere. Lynn Shelton, best known for her movies Humpday, Your Sister's Sister and Laggies, chats with the impishly provocative Bobcat Goldthwait, whose new film, the excellent documentary Call Me Lucky, reveals yet another facet of his creative personality. In their talk, they discuss their work in detail and also touch on such diverse topics as the unlikely location of one of Goldthwait's tattoos, the reason he used to wear silly hats while directing, and why the U.S. is the People's Republic of Spring Break.
