They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!
TV & Film
Sometimes the cinematic vanity project (a film that is usually some combo of a single person writing, directing, producing and acting in a film) can be an artistic vision that's a masterpiece that stands the test of time. A good example would be Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane". Most times, however, vanity projects are created by total outsiders who have the money but no talent, but their drive and their delusions push the project through, for better or for worse. This time out Lee has put together a playlist covering some notable, and in some cases just unknown, vanity projects. This will no doubt be a thread picked up in future episodes, as there's a ton of these to cover.
