Find out even more about Quentin and his films at his Official Site.

Somehow a bet on the Oscars turned into this episode all about television ... The recent Emmy nominations are discussed at the outset and very quickly the show turns into a grudge match pitting comedy against drama, Luther vs. Sherlock, Dean Haglund vs. Phil Leirness and Dean Haglund vs. David Lynch! That's right, you're about to hear what happened when Dean had to fulfill his obligation (upon losing the annual Chillpak Hollywood Oscar pool) to watch the pilot episode of David Lynch's seminal series Twin Peaks. The owls are not what they seem ...

From discussing a listener email about "negative thoughts" to answering questions from listeners regarding the documentary Paul Williams Still Alive and the Erick McCormack television series Perception, Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness are really putting the "your" into YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour this week! Your friends in podcasting also discuss the supposed death of big screen comedy, plus what they're reading, two "Live Events of the Week", and they offer up a special helping of their pal Ethan Dettenmaier (the producer and host of the most excellent Combat Radio). Finally, Dean and Phil remember the show business luminaries who left us during the past week as well as the twelve souls whose lives were taken in a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado.
