*Special Episode* Interview with Matthew Bright (reupload)

Director of Tiptoes Matthew Bright joined us for a series of conversations to answer our questions and to discuss his films. The answers to many, many Triptoes questions can be found here... along with hints at possible future collaborations! The full videos of the interviews should be uploaded to YouTube shortly. 

In their last(?) episode, Nate and Lex discuss Todd Browning's 1932 film, Freaks, and its resonances with Tiptoes. Also, Nate reveals certain developments in the research...  *At one point, Nate mentions Andrew Sarris and says he was a French film theorist. Sarris was American, and the theory was about directors, not actors. There are probably some other tiny errors as well. 

Lex and Nate discuss the life of Hervé Villechaize, the film My Dinner with Hervé (2018) based on his life, and actors' reasons for taking certain roles. The casting for Tiptoes becomes a little more intelligible in the process.

Lex and Nate left their mics on. Thank goodness!

Lex and Nate discuss a controversial movie, Forbidden Zone (1980). Nate reveals important details about the director of Tiptoes and explains why he thinks there is a French dwarf in it.  Clip of Forbidden Zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Uh-AFFDys Forbidden Zone Director's Cut Announcement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG01UMr_hIk&t=8s *Nate says he received an image from the producer that he calls a "still." The producer did not send it to him (it's publicly available on Tiptoes' page on IMDb). 

The guys discuss Tiptoes (2003) and Living in Oblivion (1996). Andre brings his filmmaking background to the conversation, and the theory of why Tiptoes turned out so strange grows.

When the going gets tough, it's only the size of your heart that counts.

Lex and Nate introduce themselves and their history with Tiptoes. In the time since they last viewed it, Nate has become a conspiracy theorist about the film and Lex has become an upstanding citizen. Nate drags him into ancient history and they discuss their impressions of the film the second time around.  Viewing Tiptoes before listening is not necessary, but it might help.
