After his second film "The Elephant Man" garnered 8 Oscar nominations, David Lynch got sucked into doing what everyone hoped would be the next "Star Wars". Instead of accolades, "Dune" 1984 got dunked on by everyone and broke Lynch's spirit.In "Dune" 1984, a Duke's son leads desert warriors against the galactic emperor and his father's evil nemesis to free their desert world from the emperor's rule. There's weaponized sound, a lecherous baron that wants to pull your blood plug, worms that produce hallucinogens and interstellar travel, the late Patrick Stewart in scifi role way before "Star Trek", and a whole lot of style. Did "Dune" 84 deserve the scorn or did it come out too close to "Star Wars"?

After a long career, the final piece of Michael Cimino's career is the short film "No Translation Needed" (part of an anthology that came out in 2006). We probably shouldn't have bothered. This episode and this short amount to nothing.#michaelcimino #notranslationneeded #shortfilm #youtubeshort #podcast

"Sunchaser" follows millionaire oncologist Dr. Michael Reynolds (Woody Harrelson) who's living a life of luxury in Los Angeles when he is assigned to young cancer patient Brandon Monroe (Jon Seda), a violent former gang member with nothing but contempt for the doctor. Monroe, who is part Cherokee, gets hold of a gun, kidnaps Reynolds and forces him to go to an Arizona reservation, where he thinks a lake's healing powers will cure him. Their journey is fraught with danger but leads to insights for both men.With a hot script from Charles Leavitt, this marks the end of movies for the once masterful Michael Cimino. He came in hot with "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot", wowed everyone with "The Deer Hunter", destroyed the auteur movement with "Heaven's Gate" and burned people and his flame from there on out. Is "Sunchaser" bad? Did it get an unfair turn from critics? Do Jon Seda and Harrelson turn in interesting performances? Can you see what seemed to make the script a hot commodity?

How does he fare? Why does he keep casting Mickey Rourke? How could a movie with this cast (and Elias Koteas WITH HAIR) not snag an audience?
