DEAD POETS SOCIETY Mini-Reunion! Cast & Oscar-Winning Writer Reminisce on Film, Robin Williams.

DEAD POETS SOCIETY—arguably our own favorite film, most definitely our "sentimental" choice if under the gun—is the pick of our dear old friend Sean Hansen, who stopped by to discuss his love of the film... and had his MIND BLOWN about 12 minutes in when we revealed to him that we'd somehow managed to get three key members of the beloved cast (in the form of Gale Hansen, Allelon Ruggiero, and Dylan Kussman—Charlie "Nuwanda" Dalton, Stephen Meeks, and Richard Cameron respectively, LEGENDS in our minds) to pop in and surprise him. Then we hit him with a haymaker suckerpunch in the last 15 minutes of regulation when none other than the man from whose brain this beautiful film was wrought joined the fray: Oscar-winning screenwriter Tom Schulman!

As much as we like to think of ourselves as men of integrity, in the spirit of Mr. Keating's message of non-conformity and questioning authority we blew right past the buzzer for an EPIC 2+ hours of Dead Poets Society Mini-Reunion! Secrets will be revealed, myths will be busted, the marrow will be sucked from life!

Massive, massive thanks to all of you Dead Poets for joining, and to Tom for inspiring us—and future generations—for a lifetime. As writers ourselves, your impact knows no bounds.

Yeah folks, we're still on cloud nine and pretty sure we've peaked with this episode despite our show still being in its infancy—speaking of which: please SUBSCRIBE and help us get our numbers up over a thousand subs so we can do crazy cool shit like, you know, try to pull off the *live Dead Poets Society script read* discussed within!

Also, as discussed later on in the podcast, we finally released our long awaited directorial debut CACTUS JACK. It's getting rave reviews and equally been panned, polarizing audiences as expected. Stick around after the buzzer to see a trailer, and/or Rent or Buy here (EXTREME TRIGGER WARNINGS):
