In this episode, I am joined by filmmaker Spyder Dobrofsky to talk about the trajectory of his filmmaking career and his new movie "Down Below." Now directing major motion pictures, Sypder appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno as a teenager to talk about his popular website he created with his brother, "Car Paparazzi." We talk about the journey from using camcorders with tapes to recording with iPhones, to now working with entire film crews as a director. In addition to talking about how being on My Views Are My Own is much more prestigious and impressive than being on the Tonight Show, we also discuss whether it is cooler to get killed by a great white shark or get sucked into a blackhole. I also get Spyder's input on making great casting choices for films and how to develop a fear tolerance to sharks, and we talk about how one of his screenplays was picked up and directed by one of the most controversial directors out there, and why we are not fans of our names being turned into silly nicknames like "Dougie." And then of course we do an incredible Mad Lib based on the Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water.
