Sex, Drugs & Power: The Story of Less Than Zero

Andrew McCarthy August begins at ReconCinemation! Join the lovely lads of podcasting as they take in some of Mr. McCarthy's greatest works from his decade of dominance: the 1980s. This week, Jon, David & Brent are dialing back to 1987 with one of Andrew's more serious fare, LESS THAN ZERO! The transition from novel to screenplay, the vast differences between Bret Easton Ellis' novel and the film, the inevitability of the Brat Pack being involved, the casting of McCarthy, Jami Gertz, Robert Downey Jr & James Spader are all discussed! Plus, the impact this had on Downey (personally & professionally), how Jon Avnet changed the direction of this picture, where this stood in Andrew McCarthy's career, the depth of some of the performances, early memories of the film, how it holds up today & much, much more!

In Beverly Hills, you can have every podcast your heart desires... it's LESS THAN ZERO!
