In this special bonus episode, Richard and Kyle are joined by Cliff, their resident John Millius expert, to discuss the Millius produced, Zemeckis penned, Spielberg directed disappointment, 1941.
After storming Spielberg's office with his short film in hand, Zemeckis found a mentor and his first Hollywood gig...writing an epic war comedy from a John Millius idea that would be Spielberg's next project after Close Encounters of the Third Kind. While 1941 is the rare black mark on Spielberg's career, the lessons he learned led directly to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
