Double Feature: American Movie & Best in Show

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we’re celebrating the art of passion and the beauty of quirks with two beloved cult classics. First, we explore American Movie (1999), the unforgettable documentary chronicling Mark Borchardt’s relentless (and hilariously chaotic) quest to complete his low-budget horror film. We’ll discuss the heart, humor, and sheer determination behind this tale of Midwestern filmmaking dreams.

    Then, we shift gears to the comedic genius of Christopher Guest’s Best in Show (2000). This mockumentary brings us into the wonderfully eccentric world of competitive dog shows, with an ensemble cast of characters so lovable and bizarre, they feel like real-life counterparts to Borchardt’s small-town crew.

    Join us as we dive into the themes of ambition, community, and the fine line between absurdity and authenticity. Whether you’re a cinephile, a comedy lover, or someone chasing your own big dream, this double feature is sure to resonate!
