Extras producers and friends of the podcast Alan Griswold and Constantine Nasr discuss their extras on some recent 4K releases.

We start off the episode with filmmaker Constantine Nasr as he discusses his all-new documentary "To Kill a Mockingbird: All Points of View," which is a part of the "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962) 60th Anniversary Limited Edition 4K release from Universal Studios.  The film stars Gregory Peck who won an academy award for best actor for his portrayal of Atticus Finch.  In 2003 the American Film Institute named Atticus Finch the greatest movie hero of the 20th Century. 

Next filmmaker Alan Griswold discusses his extras work on the 2008 action/comedy "Tropic Thunder" recently released on 4K from Kino Lorber.  Starring Ben Stiller, who also directed, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Danny McBride, Nick Nolte, Matthew McConaughey, and Tom Cruise, this R-rated comedy takes a satirical look at the Hollywood movie-making process.  We take a deep dive look into the making of the exceptional extra "Rain of Madness" and the unique involvement of the cast and filmmakers in the making of this mockumentary.

We finish out our episode speaking with Alan Griswold about his extras for the 1987 cult favorite, THE LOST BOYS, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Keifer Sutherland, Jason Patric, and the two Corey’s, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.  This film was recently released by Warner Bros on 4K with no new extras, but with most all of the legacy extras, including an audio commentary with Joel Schumacher, a 24-minute retrospective, seven featurettes, deleted scenes, and a music video.  We also explore the legacy of this film and its impact on the teen vampire genre.
